Short Desiderata Poems

When the sky is gray
I wish I could stay
  with you and comfort the day.

When the sky is blue
I wish I could flew
  back and celebrate with you.

You and you and you
It's you for my day....

Wanted accord:
A better World
With less sweet word-
Voids of terror.

Safety for all:
Shield from sad fall;
For short and tall-
Halt this horror.

A galaxy 
lives within me
through sky’s marquee
my heart beholds

one earth’s design—
as  moon, lake twine
in peace, I shine
from heaven's mold.

Stepped from ashes
healed are gashes
from sin's lashes
with God's glory.

Blessed in rivers
drunk by givers
love delivers
Gifted story.

Through hushed musings,
Sigh of peace clings 
To winds, and brings
Serenity.

Along roadsides
When dins collide,
Calm of breath guides
My inner sea.

Noises abate
I celebrate
This blissful state
A silent song

So now I go
A muse in tow
My heart to show
Sweet slumber long

Birds gone astray
on whirlwind’s spray,
forlorn  my way
down avenue

Then  moonlight’s  trace
sparks newborn  grace--
as couples race
to feel bright dew.

Beside the wood
long have I stood
in pensive mood
and reveries

Silence prevail
as thoughts set sail
along the trail
of memories

Beyond all walls
Midnight sky calls
Wishing star falls
Where dreams come true

Rain on rooftop
Morning dewdrop
Cloudy days stop
Bring skies of blue

Ill spoken words
Become buzzards
Flying downwards.
Wreaking havoc.

One silent friend
Evokes calms mend.
And two souls blend.
Smiling awestruck.

In vacuums
You don't assume
a sonic boom
You stay quiet.

My cranium
echoes a hum
that leaves me numb
to your edit.

They marched to field
Their fate was sealed
A life to yield
As deaths increase

I closed my eyes
To realize
With deepest sighs
I came in peace

” You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars.” -Desiderata

We put down roots and bear our fruits.
With dear offshoots, we are like trees.

Stars wink their eye, burn bright and die.
No asking why - we are like these!

Silent Nights And Flights

Out in the void 
Senses deployed
Wonders enjoyed
Quiet filled flights

Soundless comfort
Silence convert
I stay alert
Alive in nights

Blank tortured stare
a dreams lost glare
caught in the snare
of earths great sea.

Stars shining bright
great mountains height 
my wings take flight 
I’m one with thee.

With silence weighed,
the moonlight fades
to play charade,
before it's found.

The moon on track,
folds into black,
then staggers back,
without a sound.

Empty is nest
birds have flown west
for money's quest
we are lonesome.

No other sounds
Now peace around
Hear our own pounds
Peace is irksome

CLOUDED SUNRISE


clouded sunrise
shielded red eyes
endless tears cried
cannot erase

a sunbeams glee
at being free
to warm for me
life's frozen face.

O how I ran in dripping colors of taunting inspiration
to smear the clouds white and engulf the blue sea of fortune
stopping along the young stream to pluck a flower of delicacy
thy colors of love surely touch your presence 
a muse for the taking
a softly etched letter of belief

With Gods hands, thy melancholy painting, I sketch for thee...

With my inner spirit I can converse
With the trees and stars of the universe
The conversation draws us very close
In a message of our unity

All of us are children of the same source
That's the ultimate universal force
And we all follow a similar course
In fulfilment of our destiny

Bitterness gains
Hate entertains
The flowers grow

Burning Soul



My shaken soul,
burning as coal,
Beyond console,
as dreams shattered !

Emotions stance,
yet beats enhance,
Ecstatic trance,
and tears spattered !



But with all these smashed and dashed dreams, world is still a beautiful place........

Cosmic Tune


We are alive
on Earth to thrive

With stars, Sun, Moon,
