Malice Behind the Mask
The esteemed guests streamed into the candle lit
Foyer and dissolved into a sea of idle courtly ritual,

And fair matrons all slithered into the modestly gilded hall so
Discreetly adorned by understated...

In the tower with the winding stair
Frida Kahlo manned the door

Flight
The Soul takes her eternal flight when the physique lies dead,
This, in theologies, is very beautifully said;
Does she have her wings? Or has just ethereal effect? 
Though mystery, this concept is logically faith-decked...!

Not Just One In Million, But Million Virtues In One
My sky is having million stars, difficult to pick one in million
All having own shine, ranking any one sure to cause a rebellion
Yet, numero uno tracked by merits through process of elimination

That time has now come
as Yama has reached
With chariot, white horses
to fetch me up above,

Above these soft clouds
beyond those blues,
Another world farther than
any dreamer's reach,

Unending greens in all hues,
vibrant colours of flowers,
Butterflies for...

By the Grace of Amitabha,
You shall transcend the Samsara,
This mantra is your Sila, 
Your Samadhi, and your Prajna,

The sword that slices the Gordian knot

what sustains life?

hope

having only water
we moved on
leaving our...

Death, When Soul Wills To Part

I saw a daunting figure, benign still:
I’ve come to escort thee by divine will, 
Hope, with thy own wise will ye will sans why.

The yellow worm with elusive legs

And sluggish smell stealing stealthily

Into nerves and veins-

camouflaged under

dark leaves

shining like skin of cobra

It creeps like snail and keeps its 

surreptitious advances invisible from mortal

eye, 

A gust of wind blows...

Life Is But a Slide Show
Craving for an illusion
Chasing after phantoms
Life is like moving pictures
One slide after another
Played in rapid succession 
Making us but a series of stills

Our karma is the script 
And the spirits who...
