Hen Do

Chandela sex in the temple
Was certainly not so simple
To hold a pose
On tippy-toes
Whilst Shiva handles a limb pull!

I Sing Glory of Shiva

I sing glory of Shiva
Indian villages woke
Uma took a glance, listened
and began her chore
***
I sing glory of Shiva
The destroyer of evil
Adrija, Adri's daughter
Asked for a mirror

Premium Member Dance of Shiva

Form complete, right up to the crescent moon
Seen as the Bindu, in the symbol Ohm
Shiva does the tandav, as we all swoon
We find ourselves at last, in our true home

Premium Member A Violet For Shiva

In a dim, desolate bog,
between the wavering shadows,
a violet shows its clear blue face
to the wan, desultory sun—
a sweet, pristine reminder
of perennial rotations—
rebirth, dissolution,
waxing from the waning;
all haunting and sublime.

Premium Member Eye of Shiva

Mind doesn’t know where third eye is Location signalled by bliss fizz We alone feel, the soma flow Scriptures but pose, a mind game quiz Truths esoteric, if we’d know Feel the central vein, all aglow From root to crown, soundless thunder Agamas known in stillness slow 14-January-2022

Nataraja--The Dance of Shiva

Shiva dances
Within the circle of fire
Expressing harmony
In his perfect figure
The snake on his arm
Is seen uncoiling
The flame in his hand
An endless cycle of birth and death
His cosmic dance
The harbinger of bliss
Destroys the old myths
Creates the new
Releasing men from illusion
He performs his dance
Of creation

Premium Member Silhouette of Shiva

Falcate glistening moon tonight, upon the starry sky shines bright, the satin smooth milky moonlight, flowing through Himalayan heights, silhouette of Shiva in sight, a time to pray in god’s own light, heart is calm within and quiet, crescent moon’s divine bright midnight.

Premium Member Dance of Shiva

Magnetism throbbing within form,
manifests waves, both cool and warm,
setting nodes in body aflame,
silent thunder, a benign storm. 

This dance sublime, a divine game,
with soul’s ascent being the aim,
that as polarities unite,
desires dissolve, ego we tame.

As bliss pulsates by day and night,
taking us on a wingless flight,
in time our eye becomes single,
whence we see we are living light!

Lord Shiva

What is attraction?
 Where does it radiate from
 Inside that gourd of mingled mind?
 Each step I take hither that direction
 A feeling bursts into flame
 A lighted candle
 With shadows boogie-boogying 
 Like morphed amoebae
 In a cob-webby womb
 I feel this heated magnetism
 Pulsating and clawing
 Until I reach for it
 Hands tightly clasped
 And bow with bended knees
 Offer a prayer
 Silent whisperer
 Lord Shiva
 Wish for Blessings.

Mahakaal

So many times I chanted the prayer
from childhood to now that I forget
what I pray for or want repeating
mantras while walking at dusk or seeing
images on the lingam that stir
the flame Shiva harnesses deep within

my numbed feet stop before growling dogs
trained to ignore strangers whose lips don’t utter
their names or who aren’t free in leash like them
I fail to filter the chasing darkness
from roadside temple to Sarna Enclave


--R K Singh

Premium Member Dance of Shiva

the head ovoid 
a floating balloon
tethered to heart
where we dwell

we notice thoughts
as also sensations
at play therein
feeding the ego

agape love humming
in toroidal heart 
simply looking on
does not interfere

in timeless time
thought forms conjured
by wayward ego
crumble to dust

bereft of thought
a thousand suns
illuminate the void
within the head

consciousness yet still
observes the dance
wondrous yet ephemeral 
in organic form

Shiver Shiva

Shiver for Shiva is about.
The made must be undone
the created made to dance
on new flames.

Halloween is due,
all the old souls
will be flying in the night
on new broom sticks.
The days are crushed together,
black-ice has made them
fragile and slippery.

Shiver, for Shiva stamps his foot
on the innocent and the black-hearted
all will be blessed,
for a long winter has come
he will save their eyes
and not allow them to be blinded
by life or death.
