Mesmerises Poems

I Breathe You In: 300

As the ethereal guitar mesmerises
My soul responds
As if I dipped into a melodic bath
Of perfectly curated
Lovingly tempered 
Heart massaging
Candle flickering 
Water 

A fragrant tune invades 
My nostrils 
Flaring as the warm
Moistened air tumbles by
The world merges into
Perfection
Harmony
Stirring

The resonance
Of childhood memory
Percolating through the mist
As sliding strings 
Caress my ears
My mind drifting
Towards that past
Safer place

Yet this mesmerising medication
This tuneful tumult quelling
Perfect prescription
Is deeply welcome
Somewhere in my gut
My true being
Soothed as we surrender
To this soulful sabbath

May you never grow old
At the joyful table
Where your soul dines
Hear the whispers
Of the small pleasures
Taste the fermented flavours
Of the ordinary delights
Using all your available senses

When the music plays
To transport you
Run to catch the moment
Soak in the vapour
Embibe the elixir
Breathe it all in deeply
Holding in gratitude
Each heavenly moment

Aquamarine

            Aquamarine ! Whelming colour 
            soothing soul, sublime serene !
            Splash of sea green waves enchants,
            mesmerises, makes mind frolic fresh.
            Horizon , coloured in ocean water pacifying.

Paddling on an Old Canoe

Paddling on a swirling river.
Her husband takes the right.
His wife uses her powerful left hand.
Oh, what a truly serene feeling.
Gently gliding over the rippling water,
As the moon mesmerises the sweet scene,
Stars twinkle in the vast, darkening sunset sky.

They paddle in a sing-song, singing off-key.
One, two, kiss me sweet, kiss me soft.
Moonlight dances on the rippling river.
Their hearts entwined in an elated effect.

The peaceful sounds of flowing water 
Mingle with the thrushes. chirping wildlife.
But as water seems to seep into the old canoe,
They paddle to the shore and safety.
And on the dew grass, they hug and kiss,
Their old canoe is truly drowned in the abyss.

Redolence rolls ripples

            When  joyous jasmine  spread sacred aroma,
            it's scent mesmerises reaching my nose.
            I reminisce my affectionate Grandma.
            As best friend I chose her as she was so close.
            From her garden charms of fragrant blossoms rose.

Symphony of the Sunrise

Murmuring melody mesmerises the dawn.
Colours, like disco lights, elegantly branch out.
Crows, sparrows, robins, and parrots camp on my lawn.
Between harp, lute, sitar, and guitar, there's a doubt.

Is there, amidst the clouds, a lava eruption?
A cloudburst brings, instead of water, hue embers.
Between gold clouds and silver skies, what a duction!
Thunder and lightning bring in untimely tremors.

Sunbeams, like uninvited guests, gleam the green leaves.
Streams and brooks carrying prisms flamboyantly flow.
Breeze brings sparkling stirs between the furls of wheat sheaves.
Hiding behind tentative dewdrops, sun dusts glow.

Gloom and gleam, like celestial mysteries, are merged.
Are heaven and earth, into a new cosmos, converged?

Magenta Skyline Cluster

First blush fountain azimuth of hued rays
wet patio shrub basket in the haze
zealous heartland tower cry as life force
celebrate and  savour August rare days

Magenta skylines cluster silken clouds
blue ocean colour eyes that worship shrouds
a fancy surreal canvass so divine
it mesmerises jubilant bright crowds

Summer fun arcades stoke our dream world mind
gasps of red tint bliss a peak season find
earthbound  poise dilates refulgent cascade
rocking beach tune fare blurs dark strain purblind

Sapphire plinths that anchor stoic ambit
vision on parade my high rise gambit
traipse amid the dahlia euphoric
seventh heaven rapture’s cloud nine orbit

Renewal Or Folly

Vain mankind, you measure and image objectives
You build, and tear down, errect and level the fomer, 
Lauded structures, become despised, as you search
For validation ' as you sense the cold expanse of
Eternity, and its structure ' always expanding it has no
Base known to humanity.' Man cannot fathom or weigh
Its complexlity, its simple existence mesmerises us
As we struggle with basic human needs.' As we value
That which we posses. Yet will never own.' As so many
Elevate themselves to claim kingship, to promote war
And to control, they are lost in their aging..in the shell
Of decompisition, they place their trust, plot courses
And yet know they must depart.' For God is tearing them
Apart, dissasembling, to cast away the dross, to reshape
The clay.' Man rages in vain against his creator; he copies
And yet curses, denigrates others to obtain more yet
Will never own more..More than a chance! a one time
Opportunity to recieve enlightenment, through Jesus
Christ, the gift of God, the Holy Spirit wafts and waves
Over us morning and night.' Awake to salvation embrace
The light.'

Music

The world has its own wonders,
The stars up there twinkle,
The sun shines bright,
The moon in the night sky glows,
Like the bloom in the flowers in a row.
All is beautiful, everything fits best,
But the sound of you pierces through my chest.

I wonder how it remains unnoticed,
The music of the little things,
The beauty of its existence,
How pretty it sounds,
Your voices' delicacy.
Like a thin string it seems,
But emboldened enough to fulfill all its dreams.

Not much to say but lot to hear,
The soft music you utter,
It brightens the day mesmerises the heart,
The waves collide and create a new spark.
I am here all alone,
Waiting for that music to come home,
To fill me with joy and dance with me,
The music in your voice is nothing short of melody.

Awesome April

Hot winds blowing everywhere
Golden glistening dress all wear
Jade, peridot, emrald leaves in trees
Sway sanguinely in summer breeze

Stunning sunrise and sunset
Seductive colours of sun's pallette
Cloudless, clear, charming sky
Magnificent moon, mesmerises eye

Myriad melodic chirps reverberate
Flamboyant flowers for bees await
Morn, eve gratifying cool breeze strokes
Walking, chatting, playing, happy are folks

Enjoying juicy fruits like watermelon
And juices of citrus fruits like lemon
Hot april brings sundae and ice-cream
Relishing together, whole family gleams

With long days, april is indeed a vibrant season
For exhilaration, provides more than one reason

Golden Shower Flowers

When thousand suns come together
Dance joyously in sunny weather
A golden shower of blooms
Drives away my glooms
Falling on me as I stand underneath
Abundant bliss they bequeath

Roadside beauty, gardens pride
Few leaves, an all yellow bride
Their captivating beauty mesmerises all
Enthralling as they joyously fall

You Are the One -Lei

Your beauty so pure, calm like snow, 
Mesmerises me, now I know. 
    Your divine smile, brightens my day, 
    Now worries from past, will not stay. 
Your heart is filled with love and care,
How blessed am I, to have you near.
    You are the one I met in dreams, 
    Beyond beautiful, my life seems.

What Life Means To Me

What life means to me






A pearl of dewdrop
that shines with each sunrise,
A string of hope
that can sustain any height,
Much joys, little sorrow
sweet, bitter or sour,
This I learnt in school
where I was taken a fool.

I would say its a merry go round
a whirlpool sure to drown,
Lots of ideas put to reality
vibrant colours its vitality,
Love, the immortal soul
with it you can live whole,
Crazy thoughts put to pen
critiques know better then.

A fragrant breeze that mesmerises,
An unexpected gift that surprises,
Inhaled breath we can hold,
cherished memories manifold,
All those griefs we behold,
Each embrace and scold.

It's just that subtle emotion 
a strong faith and notion
A frail body anytime can shatter,
Imprints kindness leaves on platter,
Life is this every present moment
to be lived to its full !

A Sonnet In the Wind

A musical wind blows at my door,
Low frequency soft soothing tone,
Euphony that mesmerises down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.

I am at peace with my soul,
Alpine harmonious delightful tone,
Enchantment that lives down the floor,
A musical wind blows at my door.

The wind blows swift and jazzy I go,
Recapture the dreams that constantly flow,
Ephemeral delight that exacerbates,
The wind blows swift and jazzy I go.

All the detriments ameliorate,
The wind blows swift and jazzy I go !!

Night

Night.

Nay-it not now, when the darkness still crawls nearer
Night you shall always be the welcomed Angel, to implore
To nay-it, a message the sun has left, with fires
Oh shades of the day, magma and ice
Always at heels of each, enemies and friends
Which one, which one comforts me?
Nights of nay-its succesful reigns..
When upon my creaky atsatsa*, I counts the fruits
deka...
...eve,
.. etor...
Sun oh sun, fire out of the Brahma's hearth, you reign in history
my journey has started
A soul searching
Reflections
Mesmerises
To clean the brass and shine its surface
For the lights boasts of shines to soar
As I clean my self of debris of old, of old ages
Ah, night, nay-it, all that blackens me with blots.
Now
.....till
when.......
