Himalayan Poems

The contours cascading from the higher Himalayan slope
hold me, the upstanding cone of jade, a coniferous pine,
gilded in gold soaked from the swathe of glistened snow,
turning to mirror of flakes, flushed by dawn’s yellow sun.

A coat of cinnabar I get...Read More

Aman was his real name, friends called him ‘Zero’,
Helping others was second nature to this little hero,
He had calmness and peace of a Himalayan sage,
It was surprising to see in someone that age!

The arithmetic teacher liked him the most,
Despite his...Read More

Lets burn all differences,
Lets stand by their sides,
Lets let them make our nation pride,
Lets let them climb the Himalayan heights,
Lets let them make glory runs ,
Lets let them bring trophies or cups,
Lets accept it that they are equal to us....Read More

Atop highest cliffs there stands a monastery
Surely nirvana's nucleus of timelessness
Determined come what may in spite of breathlessness
I'll touch its celestial gardens of harmony
Craving kind Himalayan hospitality
My soul in uphill climb pursues euphoria
Seeking mystical mythical utopia
Mountains sing the praises of...Read More

That iceberg epidermal cold wasn’t skin mythical
Mean vanilla bean uttering
was hardwood cord,
like a pirate plank board

Arctic words, cryo breath abominable — 
Crystalline cruel viper vapor 
violently falling like blizzard snow

Sub-zero white noise,
so cottonmouth cold-blooded,
is middle finger digital flooded 
Building virulent...Read More

She dresses beyond others eye sight

Speaks no other but what is right

Manners her nice behave sheds light 

A beautiful women she is Himalayan height!

For us they are on border,
Who can't break the order.
Who always ready to sacrifice,
They are as hard as Himalayan ice.
Salute to the Indian soldiers!

Because of them we are alive,
And, we are secure in Indian hive.
Who always look for command,
Who have...Read More

Himalayas

Eons ago in the planet’s evolution,
During tectonic plate movement:
The Indian Island Ma moved northward,
Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains.

Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting into clear blue skies as Earth revolved,
And...Read More

Whimsical love-in-a-mist
Himalayan blue poppy
Elegant lily of the Nile
Graceful columbines
Playful balls of hydrangea
Ravishing blue daisy
Humble globe thistle
Delicate flax blooms
Sublime forget-me-nots
Breathtaking cornflower
Exquisite blue anemone
Blooms of every shade of blue
Paradise for me and you

I think of you now and again
Out half a world away
On the other side of the globe
Here it’s midnight for you midday
Somewhere on a Himalayan mountain
How can I possibly relate to your reality
Far from anything resembling a city
With no infrastructure...Read More

    MYSTIC MAGIC OF WINTER

       Blazing Sun, dazzling glow, sparkling snow, puzzling proforma.
     Jingle bells swinging heads, bringing angelic aroma.
      Magic of...Read More

The cascading contours of the high Himalayan slopes
cradle the upright verdant cones of coniferous pine
draped in gold reflected from the sheaths of snow,
morphed to crystal mirror on the dawn’s yellow sun,
painted in cinnabar by dusk’s crimson cloud streaks,
the fleeting canopy...Read More

I am at a loss
In the haze of twilight years
Reinforced by the hill-fog 

I am at the moment
With the icy magnificence
Of Mount Everest

I am at a loss
Because of
The weird fact that
My poem 
''You kindled the lamps''
Has got posted three times
Last...Read More

Polar theology
Cold-hearted hate-based belief
Frigid permafrost principles of sub-zero greed
Rigid igloo authority
Ice fortress border policy
Snow mountain wall ain’t color passage easy

Refrigerator thought orthodoxy:
Sunflower faces were born to spit shine eternally
Void shoe box coffin space ... crypt cold as can be
Frozen in...Read More

A lake cradled in the Himalayan foothills’ verdant cleft
Its acclaimed beauty on the azure water sun did reflect.

Not for long though, a sprawling hamlet’s arms spread
Toxic pollutant stream in the lake it drained and shed.

Crystal clear water soon became algal...Read More

Sealed truth got killed
on a silver moon, 
Arctic polar bear night

A belly full of blubber lies
got spilled 
on the scarlet frozen ice

And no grief amount 
of Inuit insomnia igloo intuition
seemed to caribou care

Because every tundra fable,
any angel snow-face Eskimo child...Read More

Faustus was a very curious man
Obsessed with burning desire  
To feel see and to understand
The secrets of God’s universe
He was not afraid to make a deal
With the power that can make him feel
Standing on the mountaintop
With the whole world...Read More

Living in the concrete jungle of the city’s thermal island
My five senses were stifled to almost dead and bland.

To perceive if all of them are still alive and working or not
I went from the city to the lap of nature...Read More

I wish I knew how to be wise
And have that knowing look in my eyes
Remaining silent while you nattered
As though I knew what really mattered

I’d never chat about the weather
Or discuss TV when we’re together
Always wearing a benign smile
Eternal bliss...Read More

***********

land... a barren waste
the seven seas, future steam
climate warming

a weed to thee
the scarlet pimpernel
forget-me-not

primroses
yellow sapphires... light banks
there are no shadows

the only animal
to live in hope... humans
reality rules

building on mountains
in hope... they will not slide
false security

knelt before lava
red hot devastation... flows
what...Read More

Sitting under a generous eucalyptus tree
It's vibrant feet buried under dark gray moist
Ground. Its pendulum branches bending toward the
bubbly melodious canal; allowing the thin silvery
finger-like leaves to caress the meandering 
Blue-green water. 

In its canopy, groups of cicadas and crickets...Read More

I am the universe
Sometimes I am angry and my ego arise like the forest fire inside 
I sit and breathe and see and feel the rising rage
And the feeling of feud
I see it growing up in a steep line of...Read More

In Himalayan heights blue glaciers feed
A pristine lake encased in a tranquil basin,
Dense sky descends with aquamarine lid
On water, stillness wafts in the air thin,
Nature paints divine scene I haven’t seen.
By the lake I stand soaked in joy it brought
Crystal...Read More

As I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier chance 
of liturgical comedies 
reflected...Read More

 Tom, How is the truth of reality known? then again how real is your view.?
Can you see the himalayas from your bedroom window for instance? jane, well on a computer window; yes that is so.'

 So.. But that is...Read More
