Premium Member EXCAVATION

            Digging mind, started an excavation.
           Continued scooping to find sublime soul.
           Deep thought roaming in my introspection.
           How soul is functioning? Does it control?

           Digging mind started an excavation
          Mind yearns for, brain to 
          How soul operates, I cannot surmise.
         Sinking deep in mind on contemplation.

        Digging mind started an excavation.
         I need solid proof not an assumption.
         What’s the status of soul? Does it 
         to know: After demise does soul escape?       
              
          Digging mind started an excavation.    
         Whether soul exhibits identity?
         Getting no solution, but confusion.
        No concrete answer for its entity.
        
       Digging mind started an excavation.
        Where can I flee ! Emptiness embowered.
        Last phase enjoying prolonged vacation.
        Nothing left : Despondence overpowered.

Premium Member INTERNAL PARALYSIS

                She lived happily in Fool’s Paradise.
                 Hit of thunder bolt from clear cloudless sky,
                 knocked her down on shock to paralyse
                 marital life standing on bricks of ‘LIE’.

                 Wheel of TRUTH rotating automatic
                 exposed spouse with deceit and betrayal
                 She faced firm fact to deal, act pragmatic,
                 sudden happenstance : Disgraceful, dismal.

                 Emptiness embowered : Life seemed useless,
                 shattered completely on first severe stroke,
                 yet she neither cried nor felt helpless,
                 but discarded him and relation broke.
                          
                She turned cold but bold to live on her own. 
                Fool’s Gold when detected fake,was thrown.

   River  Heart.     Shiver  Gaze.    Lush  Tender

   Mr. and Miss meet at river strand,
    when spectacular twilight started to display 
     marvelous hues to be pasted on firmament.
     Ambient is flush with lush  colors on cerulean sky
     Peerless panorama to overwhelm.
     Poetry of Nature got entry with poems of gems.

      Four eyes gaze at each other drinking dreamy desires
       Both hearts shivered on thrill.
       Seven heavens came down to greet.
       Ardent ardour embowered emotive urge.
        Passion sprouted. 

         Evening merged to night :
         Light and darkness to fight.
       Descent  Crescent Moon peeped
       and winked at the couple.

        Eternal time took pause.
         At the very tender moment 
         amour  is sealed :p
         Best bliss of Mr. and Miss.
         Poem of love to compose
         on petals of scarlet red rose.


Premium Member Discrete Chapters of Life

       Mathematically speaking,
       Life is not a continuous function,
       but holds discrete chapters
      to be closed at different times on journey of life.
 
     Carefree childhood terminates
     alarming to get prepared 
      to lead life on self confidence.
      
      Bubbling vibrant youth : Most alluring period 
      to fulfill ambitions, dreaming and dreaming.
     Aspiring chapter offering opportunity 
     of activities in broad spectrum at random.
     
      Onwards start struggling taking life as a Challenge.
       Career, Family, Responsibilities,  Duties  are embowered.
      Success to access, Failure to endure
      Love, Betrayal, Happiness, Sorrow appear in series.

     Inevitable last phase shows
     Achievements, Emotional Involvements
     turning obsolete, seeming Life to be meaningless,
     only to wait for last call  to reach the ultimate end of Life.

Premium Member Interstellar Space


                                     Space
                                   between
                                 stars is not
                                empty at all.
                              But vast quantities
                             of neutrinos, atoms,
                          molecules and dark matter
                        with photons from radiation 
                      ranging wide from highest energy
                 to low grade cosmic microwave background.

                  Bubbling plasma in interstellar space
                    contains charged particles all over 
                    embowered by soft cosmic glow.
                     Space between stars increasing 
                           as stars receding far
                              from one another .
                                 Universe on
                                   expansion 
                                      to run
                                        on.

Premium Member WALK OUT

  ' Better to walk out than to live in Fool’s Paradise.' - Poet

       She had full faith that her love was honoured,
      but marital life stood on bricks of lie.
      Hit of thunderbolt from clear cloudless sky.
      knocking her down on shock to paralyse.
      She lived happily in Fool's Paradise.
      Wheel of truth whirling just automatic.
     She faced bare fact and acted pragmatic.
     To drag conjugal life turned awkward.

       Compulsive ' Break Up ' to proceed onward 
      Emptiness embowered: : She wished to cry,
      but controlled  herself and just said ' Good Bye' '
      No question to adjust or to compromise.
      So far, amour to  appear as fake guise.
      Inevitable divorce to  discard.


Premium Member METAMORPHOSIS

      From egg to larva or caterpillar 
      emerging to pupa or chrysalis,
      comes nice butterfly : process seems thriller.
       Transformation termed metamorphosis. 

     Womb to birth : next phases of life to pass
     fooled by deep delusion or illusion
     on continued efforts to surpass 
     ignorance, reaching illumination.

     Sometimes life floating or sinking in lust ,
      embowered by selfishness and malice
      waiting for full formation to out burst.
     Consciousness to wake, not being enticed.

       When misdirected, going through crisis,
       Blessings from above are sure to shower.
       Cosmic cycle on metamorphosis.
       Universe holds energy and power.
      
       Like free butterfly to suck pure nectar:
        After demise, soul on bilocation,
       sips divine wine in different sector :
       Metamorphosis with evolution.

Premium Member Floating

FLOATING,

           The tree embowered in dense foliage to stand
           on the brink of a flowing stream strand.
           A dry leaf shivered by blowing breeze
           being detached from the tree falls at ease,
           starts floating rippling up down with waves.
          Whimsical, haphazard it behaves.
   
           Descending trough or ascending the crest.
           No goal !  neither to stop nor makes haste.
           Bound to move led by propagation.
           Can't control speed or the direction.
           Halcyon horizon, Sun about to set.
            Evening merging , birds flying to nest.

            Watching floating leaf seeming aimless.
           As if me surrendering helpless
           floating  along with my destiny.
           Sinking in morose monotony.
           Me being the puppet of fate as if
           moving meaningless like floating leaf.
