- JANUARY -
A freezing cold evening
Where the stars shining bright
With frost blade flanks
From mouth and nose steam
In the clear silence
White untrodden snows
Nature's frozen pulse
Sleep like a little baby
One gracious moon
After the night the...

soaking up from saturated soil,
slurping into his compassionately

begging for bread, shelter and cold without all
like he’s been there
trudging up and downhill knocking on doors
that judgmentally remain closed after glimpsed twigging -
a monumental fail,...

My Kundalini Awakening
Part-1: Preamble

Motionless as space, kinetic as time

As the word of God - Om sounded life's chime

You are Consciousness itself

The kind of stars pattern
Why?
Why do you shine like that?
How are you up there—
so perfect, so bright?
While I scream,
while I scream,
and all I do is fade—
I can barely breathe, I can barely stand the weight of this.
Each star has...

Hidden Beauty
Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse
To so...

I. The Pastor’s Hand
At dawn’s brittle cusp—
he climbs, each step
a nail in time’s coffin

a Psalm torn mid-hymn.
The rope tastes of incense and...

A Winters Tale
The bones of winter cracked the ice black, coal black night.
A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.
Boney fingers of bare deciduous wood, scratch against the eaves
as the stranger's tread crackles...

Glimpse
It was like a whisper-
My wife delivered the sad news-
"Your grandfather was dead."-
And so he was-
Her eyes was awfully sad-
Touched me gently on my back-
He was old-
The time...

In the labyrinth of thoughts, where worlds silently revolve
In the labyrinth of thoughts, where worlds silently revolve,
Under the shadow of the Monarch ruling in unseen illusions,
A solitary Sovereign, avatar of ancestral downfall,
Reigns eternally over human souls, ephemeral and fragile.
And only Christ, the divine...

In the shadows of a fading room,
Lies a heart, a fragile thread in gloom.

Isolation
I
It is dawn.
Brother, rise.
Let us give vent to the rising sun, and with claps of the
Mind, welcome its waking ecstasy.
Distances prevail — measured on the sun’s distance
From the soils.
Ephemeral, morn; so we shall set forth...
