Long Oscillates Poems

“I am not the body, nor is the body my possession— 
I am Awareness itself.”

One who realizes this for certain
has no memory of things done or left undone.
There is only the Absolute.”


We now enter still...

A loaded pistol,
With youthful courage till yesteryear;
Now lies naked and dormant,
And Is found to be lifeless and dead.
Somewhere, buried in my Junkyard,
Playfully tested till now in all arms to shame;
As it shyly, blushes and whispers...

To where does my soul belong? 
at times my meandering mind wonders…

Is it to the vast blue of the boundless sky 
or the tangerine rays of the sun at the crack of dawn 
or to...

Down the fervent aeons Buddha’s sagesse,
casts its august shroud on benign witness,
shades, shadows, subtle symbol shift,
encompass cosmopolitan and temporal,
incongruous to flaccid predilection feigned,
astute statue of nuance and nicety,
crosses annual acme’s snowflake whirl,
Christmas that propitious seasonable...

Name, a label, for mind-body identity,
which across past lives, we have had many,
as also gender rotation, for an experience spherical,
so this time around, now assimilating our earth life sojourn,
given pseudonym humbly confesses, there is much...

Betrayed 
I see a feeble fire dancing in the night
Glimmering and struggling against the darkness
 A sour ash smell fills my nose as I stare at the crimson flames
My eyes burn from the fuse of...

Upon the undulations of this world, viscera of wandering silk,
Subtle, and their glimmer passes through impoverished rhetorics and lingering questions,
My attempts to find answers dissolve in a soul that oscillates in silence,
Hoping in a nameless...

love is a lofty ideal 
croon of tenderness
sounds right, feels good
but how may we share
what we do not have

a hollow emptiness 
engulfs our body-mind
womb of space suffocates
we are uncomfortable 
in our own skin

being empowered
we pause...

From the chthonic chasm, I materialize in sarcophagus
Spectral filaments of the netherworld
Spiral in a maelstrom around my silhouette
Osseous structures fracture contort
I ascend from the fecund terra firma
A cadaverous marionette oscillates in a morbid gavotte
Sole rhapsodic...

Somewhere between the Poseidon and Azure
Is his double shaded blue that always allures;
Between the lush and chrome, green hues
That glow in layers of velvet like necklace;
With rufous brown tail feathers and long neck
With strong twig...

Disarrayed sands
dislodged from timeless domain,
dropped by chaotic instants,
settle ceaseless,

on stratified shelf 
of languid life,

settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with the perturbed dispersed dust,
the truth of...

My migratory mind indomitably mobile,
recedes with the ebb of time, seeks the shore of the past,
as the spirited surfer on the wandering waves of life, 
surging on curled crests carrying the fractured full moon,
and within...

Across the globe, music ascends—a universal zephyr,
Bridging cultures in harmonious yearning;
Chords converge from Andes to the Zangezur, xenharmonic,
Dulcet tones of a duduk—in the air, they whisper.

Every note—an echo of humanity's vibration,
From flamenco's fire to the...

Walk and talk affection
In conducive tones
That fertilise attention
To concerns affecting real folks and their comfort zones  

Where each critical move you make
Adds to their happiness in tough times
As for them you bake a friendship...

The chaotic times shake the sands of disarray,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with dispersed dust of perturbation,
the truth of trust oscillates on the ruffled ripples of disorder.

the cynosure of the crystal night sky,
convergent to your unrivaled beauty
from far on the ground
the beauty I cannot count

I to me- a fresh skeleton of hackneyed ashes
barren field of all love,
grey yard of the cut...

28th &29th March 2012. 

Sandy saunter through virgin sands,
The trudging pathways lead me to beach lands.
Cam a red nude peeped under a Mac,
Slight drizzle from the clouds, into the coco nut grove I move, on...

Maple trees adorn yellow and orange blaze 
Colorful vistas dance singing nature's praise
Crispy cooler days embellish in colorful ways

Brighter moon reigns over twilight's dull haze
Canvas of falling leaves oscillates in sun's rays
Colorful vistas dance singing...
