Arch

Are you symbolic gesture that
                summons strange new lands?

                 A magnetic vortex adjoining, 
              spaces between, with frequency
                                      band.

    What gives you the office to officiate journeys, 
                   advertising your prowess 
                like a slippery judge-attorney. 
     Jury at a trade show, bending attentions,- 
     threshold.

  Sprawling out like a rainbow on Earthen gurney 
                                       -then,
                 standing like a giant hero 
                   midstride into miracle.

                                          Doorway?
                                          Mystical?
      What gives you the Authority?
                                   Is it Spiritual?
                                 Metaphysical?

              Like an antenna wed to the Earth,
          morphed into a wedding ring yourself; 
                                      what gives
                you the anointing to do both?
        Christen, glisten and weigh the berth.
                      Only the Lord, only.
Plus, He listens, He knows our hearts, 
and gives YOU all your power of
ceremonial worth.
You are a fraud, masquerading 
as a Golden Eye of God peering through a window. 
Give the credit where it is due and bend the knee.

Premium Member Garden of the King

Herein among the furrowed rows
sun ripened cucumbers and leek
twine the grape upon their stakes
tender shoots of produce grow replete
 
Where honeysuckle alongside jasmine
with tendrils climb the rocken wall
rainbow pigments a mosaic
like earthen shades within the fall
 
Fair beauty ministers the grounds
drifts perfume of plumaria and rose
wafts lavendar with scents of cardemom 
with limestone pathways for barefoot toes
 
Here garlands do adorn the gates
though there be no need for walls
with granite stairs her entries are
alabaster benches for setting calls
 
Marble waterfalls and fountains
grace the garden of all delight
where jasper pillars support the arches
and fires light a collonade at night
 
Here the courtyard is cultivated
to entertain the compnay of Kings
but its fillagree of crowning beauty
is what the humble gardener brings
 
So like that blooming garden
your fragile grace has captured me
so captivated and entranced
my heart be taken to slavery
 
Now the gentle breezes coast
there is shelter from all storm
where pools reflect a light so clear
to birth a personality new born
 
To turn its soil with planted seeds
care to tend upon the fertile crop
whose cornucopia in depth does please
and treasured views will never stop
 
One Archetech this courtyard built
next to the castle temple grand
spans the torrent river valley
where the trees of life do stand
 
This is the garden of Gods healing
here the taught do love its sight
where tender hearts can bloom and grow
nothing dangerous here to fight
 
Lay hold upon the real life
for far better things for you are planned
but only Jesus can lead you through
the final weeding of his land

Premium Member Buried Beneath the Lies

This love's chalice brims with passion's pain
from cracked hands now clenched within your mind
its wormwood draught is less then bile that stain
you spill and cleanse the earthen floor of time
the rapture of this life now cleaves my soul
as it bleeds deep in darken realms of shade
you drove the knife that cut the rose once whole
release my suffering heart as death persuade
this flower keeps no breath within its bloom
now drifting dark beneath the setting sun
flee from this world whose shadows I consume
as my heart dies, its death already done
  a crumbled love lies dead inside my heart
  buried beneath the lies as you depart

Light a Deep of Happiness Or Hopes

Light a Deep of Happiness or Hopes


Light a Deep of Happiness or Hopes
Today is Dewali,*
Light a Deep* of happiness or hopes 
in your life,
Even if, you are not celebrating Dewali,
just wait a little more and
Light at least a candle of hope.

If, no hopes are visible all around you,
Bring a smile on your gloomy face,
and wipe all the tears from your eyes,
as your hopes are bound to bring your dreams
sooner or later close.

Today is Dewali,
Light a Deep* of happiness or hopes 
in your life,
Even if you are not celebrating Dewali
just wait a little more,
Light at least a candle of hope.

*Dewali. The Indian festival of lights based on Indian culture.
* Deep is a Hindi word means an earthen Lamp

Premium Member Equalizing

From the miniscule, to the grand vestibule,
    Balancing forces are summoned to equate.
Where one seems to create more distance,
    The other looks to attract and deflate.




Just as water in a vessel 
    Seeks to find its very level.
There's gravity about humanity to 
    Wrestle, among God and the devil.

Constantly pushing and pulling,
    Recognizing difference while being the same.
While maintaining anonymity,
    Avoiding any credit or blame.

With a powerful nature to compare,
    As if a regression to the mean.
It looks to a level playing field,
    That's righteous and clean.

So as we hold all of our heroes,
    High above the earthen mound.
Knowing the praise may be short-lived,
    If there was no equal ground.

First Love


NATURAL, FEMALE she is poetry's core
A ROMANCE of the ages, now burned
But SEASONED SAGED to see what's in store,
New PAGE turned, lessons returned

She longs for the spew, the geyser's might
MA-GIVER of FIRE and true desire,
Soft as a woman holding the light,
Wet with the dew of the Amazon's pyre
WATER breaking, making draughters

To currents of talk, a blue blood stream,
Flumes flow below where futures expand
A broad expanse, a waking dream,
NECROMANCY on shifting sand

RHEOLOGY charts the change we know
MIDASOREAL touch, a golden sting
PUNCTURING darkness where seeds now grow,
NANOBOOMS echo as life takes wing

BIOLOGICALCOLOSSUS starts to creep,
BURROWING deep, the pulse we trace,
ELECTROGRAM where secrets sleep,
RAPIDPHOTOSYNTHESIS finds its space

A RUFFLE then a CHEW_SPIT, GUSH,
NANO_FISH swim, then ANALYZE we must,
IMBUE the worth that can be found,
DRESSED TO THRILL, returning dust to dust
EARTHEN MOUND, humblaia, mistress,
MATRIMONIAL HONEYMOON SEASONED ROUNDS, RUSH IN, the BY and BY
in a birthritten trust, where variety abounds
WHERE WE ARE FOUND,
EarThen Eye OfMined

Sipping Coffee

Alabaster streaks of warmth 
in its dewy first glow,
tepidly stirring the senses, as 
my gaze roams to the 
trickle of ebony beads; 
in the distance, 
chimes of granular dustings,
with fragrances rich in 
mahogany earthen grounds, 
shaking the last of the 
quondam night’s moon specks,
as life’s poignant rays 
seep deep into my sights,
coaxing myself out of 
hibernation, 
longing for the first sip 
of sunshine, 
basking in the early beams of 
balmy dawns and 
sepia sunsets, 
blessed to 
start and end the
sands of time with you—
upon my soul’s sanctuary, 
my lucid dream ablaze. 

"God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma
As also this dopamine boosting flavour I taste
I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart
Breath by breath thus that my soul presence be chaste"

Artistic Rhythm of Life

ARTISTIC RHYTHM OF LIFE

Days painted in lavender,
dancing to the rhythm of life,
the staged sphere is my canvas,
the feet is the double-egded pen
as steps rave in blurred tones,
see the moon-walk in my sunset
like MJ sliding on to stardom
gliding with each stroke.

Dancing to the rhythm of life,
shoes tangle around different angle,
breakdancing to break forlonity & my gloom 
falsified by the brightness of light joy brings,
Table turns as the fire in me burns
and inspire in me a lyric;
Arts, music, dance...my cave and clinic.
Therein lies a universe of joy & power,
a kingdom that surpasses imaginations.

Dancing to the rhythm of life,
though challenges welcome you in,
but in victory you exit through doors:
We enter as humans but left as gods.
Dance as the edge of brush glides through canvas,
tirelessly moving in rhythmic spirals.
Though your labour may endure for the night,
your joy will come in the morning
and brings fearless living not careless dealing.

Dancing to the rhythm of life,
sharing love and not telling-off,
dance like lillies in the woods;
visions will come, inspiration beckons...
Powers expand & comes understanding
to teleport from battles to the throne of heaven,
where Judah Himself fights for you
then you become a mere spectator 
in your own earthen Battles.

Radha's Song- a Folk Song of India 2/2

Radha’s  Song-   A folk Song of India  2/2

Prelude

This folk song is based on the childhood incidents 
of naughty 8-10 years old Krishna, who use to 
please everyone of Gukul village, Gokul is the 
place where the divine Krishna  was brought up 
by his foster mother Yashoda.  



O,  Please tell me,      what  should  I    do,
Speak a word,  to   extinguish  my worries,
I   cannot   live,                 without   seeing,
The  alluring face of  our  naughty Krishna.  

O,   please tell my friend,                how  should  I  manage it,
What plea and excuse  dear,            I can tell     in my  home,
How to go back to home,           without  Gagariya and Chunri,
Even without water, which would create only difficulties for me. 

Stunned  and mesmerized,  by the magic of our   Krishna, 
I stand here only,        in a state of being sweetly robbed,
Instead of searching my  Chunri and Gagariya,    O Sakhi,
I am trying to touch his alluring image only,   in  the water.

Clarifications:
*Radha.   Radha was the childhood friend and was one of the most beloved Gopi of Lord
Krishna. She was the   beauty, power and aura create the ethics of love. None of the
scriptures consists of the power to verbalize her beauty, for it is clear enough that when
beauty of Sri Krishna makes several hearts leave their boundaries, her beauty is so
mesmerizing that it makes Him loose consciousness.
*Krishna.   Krishna is often depicted as an infant or young boy playing a flute as in the
Bhagavata Purana  or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad
Gita. The stories of Krishna appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and
theological traditions.] They portray him in various perspectives: a god-child, a model
lover, a divine hero and the Supreme Being.
*Gagariya. The earthen pot used still in Indian villages to collect water from river, pond
or wells.
* Chunariya.  A long strip of cloth to cover the beauty of a woman. It normally hangs on
the bosom to cover them.
Punghat.  Is the word used for a place from where water can be collected by village women
of India.
*Sakhi. Hindi word means female friend

Premium Member Eternal Waltz

Beside another, recent lain
Dug before the morning rain
Laid in rows midst flowers and grass
Where hand-carved marble speaks of past

Blackbird seeking worm or grain
Eyes the earthen mound again
Whence abundant morsal found
In spoil fresh dug from sacred ground

Brief cessation of the showers
Sunshine gifts it's warming powers
Somber, dressed in wispy shroud
Whispered calls to every cloud

Dampened grass wears tinsel glister
For mother, father, brother, sister
Whose Mourners silent walk the drive
Parting as the cars arrive

Handshakes, kisses, reminisces
Comfort sons and little misses
Gather, solumn ’side the grave
Adults tearful, children brave

Casket edging from its hearse
Nature opts to show its worst
Heavens open, pours torrential
Mourners stoic, reverential

For Gran and Gramps met in the war
Chance encounter Indian shore
Oft to tell despite the warm
Danced till night beneath a storm

Then beneath a leaning palm
Neither heeding risk of harm
She succumbed to young man's wishes
Shared the first of many kisses

Lowered now to Grandpa's side
Grief outshone by family pride
As Grandma grasps the binding tie
Of he in whom she feared no lie

One love, his wife, his children's mother
Never danced with any other
Ever gallant went before
To guide her hand to heaven's door

And like that storm of Asia past
Sun tames cloudburst near as fast
Wispy mists of dampness warmed
Dance ethereal, barely formed

Vapours of the afterlife
Moonlit glimpses, man and wife
Romance colours all our thoughts
Of Gran and Gramp's eternal waltz
