“The Dissolving Heart” 

How many keys
played for seeds 
bleeding a life

read, received 
cast out 
in the left field 

planted in the heart
of karma to become
new life reflecting

inwards out to another 
holding the echoing
music kept safe 

still heard 
and felt 
for what it is

keys 
and notes
found...

They came on bullock-carts
loaded with gods
   Indra

"Thou art That" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 of the Sama Veda)

You wanna know what’s something you are not?
It is that easy. Take a piece of paper,
divide it into two parts with a pen,
entitle the left side as “I”, the right 
one – “It” and then think...

"The Odyssey, First Steps"

"You’re just like a doll...
you're like a doll,
in a dream", he said,

I nod, up then down,
as if my head moves
by puppet master

I turn with the strings
like a piece of furniture
facing East door, then,

the ghost in me arises 
from its chair 
and like...

Fungi, fungus, funguses thousand fold,
eukaryotic life kingdom of yeast and mold.

Ancient legends and myths from many times,
beginnings and ends through mulching slimes.

Egyptians sensed the connection in fungi to gods,
only Pharaohs allowed to have them as foods.

Consuming the fungi to become immortal static,
Mushroom stones in Mesoamerica...

The Birch

We’re hailed by changes of weather always
Pouring, wind, rain, gale and hurricane
Our dried barks and twigs easily departs
When they lavishly attack in season
Enchanting imbibe of full moon lights
We play with millions twinkling stars
Cloud travels vigilantly surrounding us
Flurry movement with smiling joyous
Various birds and sparrows...

Sex, Death, and Regeneration, our Transformation

We cannot change  the world, and we can't change another
We can only change ourselves and illuminate our endeavor 
To see good or bad, as simply, the outcome of possibility  
To know that our perceptions are only, 'our' perceptions...

the match stick
Well if you are an Indian by birth, yes you guessed him,
Saint though by birth, he let any issue just burn to ashes,
Dear friends, do not worry he is not an antagonist nor a proto,
Yet he plays a major role,
in each character of...

a vessel of earth and sky
proclaiming to possess
light and deepest depth
clad in the satisfaction
nearest to the wind
but then
dawning cloud like vestments
to walk safely in the seething mass
though by inclination none were needed
but to placate the malevolent
the sibling gods make a place to rest in gut
then...

Two drops of rain once when fell,
Became one with the vast sea.
One said: just a drop I be,
The other said with a roar:
I am the sea, drop no more.
It's mindset that rings the bell.

Eons back there was naught what so,
Cosmic existence as we know,
Matter nor space now so rife,
Day nor night, death nor life,
All there was, was darkness 
All around wrapped in nothingness,
And all-pervading cosmic will
Whence rose desire, the seed primeval—
Desire to manifest,
But who knows it the best?...

Before Jesus I loved Veda and Vairagya
Detach here, attach to Transcendental there
Practice with people, prophesying Jesus:
Do not JUDGE. But how to avoid such?

II
Buddhism bestowed the key, as Paul
Did in Epistles. Reading Romans 12
"Renew your mind, do not conform -
Be transformed." Mindfulness my gain
And complaint: I...

A poem not at proper time said--
Though wisdom so well said, gets slighted.
Like Vedas by an aged wife read
In privacy, say, of nuptial bed.
