Before the term was ever coined
I was a past master at ‘zero-sum games’
Which explains my success
with all those unliberated dames*

The physical world runs on the mandate of physics,
controls the levers of rolling life’s complex dynamics,
every action has an equal and an opposite reaction.
Follow the axiom, or perish in the existential friction.
I try to spread true love for I don’t want to be hated,
see the divine beauty draping everything God created.
Empathy then flows endlessly from my humble heart,
my karma bestows me the inner bliss from the start.
In the holy pages of Geeta, thus preached Lord Krishna:
Act unattached on the dictate of the ordained karma,
lead the devoted life unruffled, both in joy and sorrow,
for we are dedicated actors in the creator’s mortal show.
The unliberated captive soul comes back again and again,
to endure in repeated lives the infliction of agony and pain.
My karmic being I try to illumine in the shine of spiritual light,
for it’ll take me to heaven for eternal nirvana, not out of sight.

Boulders,
split wide open,
with rounded river-shaped edges,
greet the rain,
their rushing Creator,
everyday re-creating
Fossils
witnessing time's solidarity
between flowing rivers
and boldly shaped
deforming compassion
for lowest sedated intent,
immortal purposes of flow
yet majestically Progenitive
Transparently vulnerable icons,
open seasons of geologically irrational
time invested
in transporting communion
Like a flowing poem,
a rain-drenched story
voicing well-told resonance
Yet compassion longs to understand
why this structure
and our causal flow
have not only found each other
but have remained together
to this recreating end.
Like river rocks and rain,
perhaps we have no knowable choice
other than acclimating time's solidarity
of righteous flow and unliberated shape,
spirit representing nature,
relationship suggesting dynamic autonomy becoming
interdependence unveiling healthy equity
wisdom seeking formed understanding
rain shaped river rocks.
WAITING FOR THE NIRVANA
Physical world runs on the mandate of physics
Controls the levers of life’s complex dynamics,
Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Don’t follow the axiom, you become your relics.
Spread love if you don’t want to be hated,
See beauty in everything God has created,
Empathy will flow unlimited from your heart,
Your karma will give you inner bliss unabated.
On the pages of Geeta preached thus Lord Krishna:
Act unattached on the dictate of ordained karma
You’ll face life unruffled equally in joy and sorrow,
For you’re only an actor in the creator’s drama.
Captive soul unliberated, you come again and again,
Tolerate in repeated lives the agony and the pain.
Glow your karmic existence in the spiritual light,
You won’t wait long for the eternal nirvana to attain.

A Hurting Heart
ceaseless pain
hurting
unreleased
chained
tied
jailed
hurting
unliberated
hurting heart
again and again.
Drencho POET Loads
The birth of life marks a magnificent miracle
Womb opens to bestow a new life into being
Unison of love and a symbol of divine blessing
Seeking salvation, soul traverses cosmic cycle
Unliberated, within this wheel it keeps revolving
Spiral of birth n' death abiding Supreme command
Who? When? He decides n' it's the rule of pinnacle
Tracks all our past deeds n' re- birth He keeps
assigning!
