A circus quietly drifted through our town,

causing everyone here to curse the ground–

where they toiled to set~up their ghastly show.

casts a formless shadow of ambiguity on the being,
that flares...

Hey there Mr. Bundy,
Your wavy hair makes me feel alright.
Your eyes pierce through me
you see right through me.

if you'll lead
I'll join your cult.
I give up...

Trained as a chef in the big smoke
Drugs and drinking delivered joy
Running thousand acre farm, a joke! 
Designer biscuit job was all he spoke

Having lived on earth for some time now
Impatiently he dwells, harboring self doubt.
In face of impediments he loses his mind
Acquiring dispositions like hate and lies,
Hosting showmanship to look good and wise.

A prince born in the cradle of royal opulence
in the picturesque vale of the Nepal Himalaya,

Death sings its boisterous song to me
Proudly placing itself as the ruler
Of everything created by the maker

Other than that which has been fated
For me,...

carrying the burning hunger in my void heart
and the unsatiated thirst in desiccated mind.
Surrendering to the vehemence of its lure I chased
a mirage in the searing middle of...

Plain placid life, like the ever background noise!
Mundane bonds, which once tickled,
Asphyxiated slowly reaching the end!
Unsatiated she aches for spring to return,
Eyes await to be pulled from trance!
Like a tornado he came to quench thirst,
Flooded...

So let us look deep within the core of our being
To discern the cause why time and again we sink

THE CHANGING WORLD

The age of chivalry and bravery has ended

That of sophistry, rivalry, upon us descended

Those with ability, to charm and talk, are commended

They are now indeed enemies, whom we once befriended

The ping of enlightenment deflected on a teardrop
Rolling down the ambiguous face of a pretender
And missiles fall more frequently than raindrops

Emotions flow downward to shatter like glass
And scatter...

its meaning sunk in the murk of existence, 
misty mind sought the glow of God’s aura.
