WAITING FOR THE NIRVANA
Physical world runs on the mandate of physics
Controls the levers of life’s complex dynamics,
Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Don’t follow the axiom, you become your relics.
Spread love if you don’t want to be hated,
See beauty in everything God has created,
Empathy will flow unlimited from your heart,
Your karma will give you inner bliss unabated.
On the pages of Geeta preached thus Lord Krishna:
Act unattached on the dictate of ordained karma
You’ll face life unruffled equally in joy and sorrow,
For you’re only an actor in the creator’s drama.
Captive soul unliberated, you come again and again,
Tolerate in repeated lives the agony and the pain.
Glow your karmic existence in the spiritual light,
You won’t wait long for the eternal nirvana to attain.
April 27, 2018.
This life
In the dark alley of time
My life stumbles in blunder pitfalls
Uncertain future casts shadow of despair
Plunges my essence in darkness of torment.
I search for the divine route of escape
Carved by faith in the precinct of the almighty
Configuring the elements of ardent devotion
Not allured by impermanent opulence.
Detached from life’s transient thread
I’m embraced by the spiritual ambiance
Where time is stilled in eternal silence
I’m then the supreme in sublime bliss.
My next life
From the fold of karmic destiny I’m released
Transcend the limits of time and space
The soul gets free from the mortal case
Merges with the absolute entity.
My imperishable soul returns
Blooms as a lotus within a new being
Forgets the previous pain of wilting agony
Thrives in the beautiful unknown garden.
In the serene sanctum of the seamless sky
Like a bird I’ll fly away from the old nest
On wings of devout fervor my soul will soar
I’ll feel the euphoria of nirvana.
Our breath flows, here and now
Let our breath flow with the current of love,
See the divine beauty in everything God created
Empathy then drips endlessly from our hearts
That’s the truth unifying us.
Let’s do the ordained karma unattached
Lead the devoted life unruffled and united
In times of both joy and sorrow
We’re devout actors in the creator’s show.
Unliberated soul comes back again and again
Endures in repeated lives anguished darkness
Let’s illumine ourselves in the spiritual light
Together we’ll attain universal consciousness.

The Yearbook
The years have since gone by—
aged seniors now are we.
I scan each page to see
lost friends with teary eye;
then note, with relieved sigh,
some are still here with me.
Our yearbook is online—
my high school friends all there.
But posted clear to share,
a list beneath a sign
of those who crossed the line
and climbed our Heaven's stair.
Salutes to each dear friend—
here—joy and sorrow blend.

Love bursts into flames then simmers on.
It you get burnt; embers remain.
You have to be reckless
sitting on a fence and standing on side-lines
is not an option,
you can die inside when you risk nothing.
At the end of a love affair
there are always showers of joy and sorrow
they live in the same teardrop.
A man who has only loved one woman
has never gambled and lost
never been rejected.
Never having known heartbreak
makes you weak and easily broken.
A woman who loves easily
will choose to love many
though not all at once.
Love turns, changes, evolves,
corrodes, injures, and fulfills.
Let all we walking wounded
be grateful for the tip of the arrow.
I've cried enough tears till my eyes could weep no more.
Pain, a mere consequence of love—
felt sometimes when it's here, other times when it's gone.
Given at times, taken at others.
To heal, we must learn to forgive ourselves,
to endure rather than run,
to grow even in the harshest conditions.
What is life without the will to strive,
to serve and, when it's our turn, to receive?
Life is but a pendulum,
swinging ceaselessly, offering both joy and sorrow.
So we learn Amor Fati, embracing what comes,
and Memento Mori, remembering what must end.
To live as we are willed,
manifesting the glory and grace of God.
How can we fulfill God's will if we refuse to shine?
Whom do we serve when we shrink from our light?
What benefit is there to those we love,
if we dim ourselves for fear of shining too bright?
To love is to teach.
MY HAPPINESS AND SORROW
My heart is full of joy, also tears,
loaded with events years after years.
For life,
Happy happenstances to adorn.
Memories of worries left to mourn.
At end, in abyss of emptiness thrown.
Random activities now confined in closed contour.
Associates are away, children in respective sectors.
Broad spectrum of life is shortened,
Only to be busy on self care,
realizing every moment that life is accelerating to reach terminal.
I only know what I know,in joy and sorrow
Enjoyed love, shocked on betrayal, succeeded or failed,
But nothing remains, no imprints.
Everything so trivial.
Time will wash out all.

The line 'I only know what I know' from Broken People by Richard Lamoureux
'Pick a line, any line' Contest by Richard Lamoureux
I've experienced much joy and sorrow,
I've been through the valley and mountaintop.
But you, my love, brightened my tomorrow,
I've seen good and bad; I wanted life to stop.
My life was like yin and yang, confusion,
The one thing in my life that wasn't was you.
I thought love was just a mere illusion,
What you've given me is honest and true.
Chaos surrounded me; now, in pure bliss,
I have seen much darkness and little light.
But sweetheart, I hunger for your sweet kiss,
In your loving arms, I welcome the night.
I never tire of your loving embrace,
I’ll spend forever gazing at your face.

And told his wife
This whole world is a beautiful place.
That is the only truth.
We must fill colour in this world with our true love and respect for each other.
All these colours are very pleasant.
Never exchanged
Never lost
Never missed.
By Aliza Kashmala Kiran
Old friend I fear no peace, no life’s atone,
only silent condemnation disguised -
this misfortune is mine and mine alone
and to that end I have philosophised.
To the wider picture of death and woe
and to the same fates of unventured love -
to life’s grim audit of joy and sorrow,
to dream to unknow what I am sure of.
We are a hostage to our tyrannies,
prisoners of old hostilities.
Locked away for life and time
and I fear the years have outlived mine.
That I be ambushed in early gambit
for my king was a sacrifice too great -
just a pawn in a game and I am it
plays out its capture and stalemate.
He not bared to his human desires nor
fruit on the essential vines thirsts alone -
and in the great fu*kening at my core
is an ache and fate that I must own.
We are a hostage to our tyrannies,
prisoners of old hostilities.
Locked away for life and time
and I fear the years have outlived mine.
Now a debt of faith is ransomed this day
and worse, a debit of an endless morrow -
a usury I must now bear and pay,
and from the heart this I had to borrow.
Yet I know only the end redeems all
but is late reprieve to a suffered heart -
there are no happy endings but withal
my spirit is gentled should I depart.
We are a hostage to our tyrannies,
prisoners of old hostilities.
Locked away for life and time
and I fear the years have outlived mine.

Our friends and family form stars in a mini-universe…
A universe where joy and sorrow are shared.
Their stars are constantly orbiting our star
while our star orbits theirs.
Some of the stars are bright
while others have a softer hue.
Some of the stars have been orbiting a long time
while other stars are new.
Some of the stars are gone now
their light we can no longer see…
shooting stars who have landed
in our hearts periphery.
One of the beauties of our life
that keeps our star aglow
is knowing every day there is a chance
for our universe to grow.
And knowing there is something
that will always make us smile…
when the orbits of our stars come together
If only for a little while.
