How my spirit weeps, when I consider the past…
All...

Your heavy chainsI walk where the land meets the sea
Heavy chains dragged,
trails cross the sands.
The last time I saw you,
You were breathing the scent deeply in.
Just like me, you were born of flesh
And just...

The Biggest jerk in the Solar SystemDuring yoga lessons, learnt the 'Surya Namaskara' pose
'Surya' as in Sun and 'Namaskara' as in salutation
So I just said hello to the sun?
But the sun did not say anything back!
Well that's rude
Someone tell him that...

Soul of skeptic writhes with agonizing torture like a burning man in Dante's InfernoSoul of skeptic writhes with agonizing torture (like a burning man) in Dante's Inferno

Sings to no living thing
But the rain. It
Shakes its wet wings
So one day it might fly
Away to a new perch
So lovely and dry

Summer Flowers
By the time it's officially Summer,
Without a doubt, they will be arresting me.
Presently, they are budding under the crape myrtle.
Most assuredly, they will cast their spell on me.

All Hail
"All Hail"
Within the sky of blue,
embedded liked jewels
the many hidden colours,
the truest hues
arrive in storms,
where all the hail
like eyes falling
from the vaults
of heaven

and the better,
lost in cloudy vision,
are drawn back in
and up again...

Sky LanternsHope, wish, and pray
we all live and let live
like the lanterns in the sky
each one spreading light
not disturbing
or
trying to destroy the other one
no unhealthy competition
no ego problems
no wish to dominate
discriminate
manipulate
others
just
keeping our individuality intact...
