Let Us Leave Shadows and LiveFrom shallows of a crowd, deep down to bone,
Leaving shadows of life let’s live our own.
Ocean of emptiness roars deep in eyes,
Drowning our personal pain let’s give as grown.
Buds in blossom bloom, fragrance fresh in air,
Far from the reign of thorns in buds’...

I know and feel the pains of others
Keep me doing well to others
And let not ego or pride enter my mind.

Never speak ill of others
Disdain greed and avarice
Respect women as I respect my mother.

A Million Ways To Say I Love YouThey say
?There are a million ways?
To say I love you
In this day and age?
I could only find
?In my computer’s brain?
The words
to say I love you?
In 53 languages
of the 10,000 languages
?Spoken on this planet
Someday I may be able
?To say the simple words
?I love you?

Jingle Venom Tapasya Resume Sun PatriotismVenom resumes X 3
Suryas out of his basket indeed,
Even good boys are naughty, Sajni,
elevation creatonism,
mantra stance style,
the sun moons life,
he locks his eyes for an eternal rain dance,
chaos enveloped in tears from the sun,
cosmic comic stances that are silent,
the venom stillness of life,
under thunder blast...

He that Roams Rhymes and Grows
Let’s go roam head and heart,
To meet many a millionaire
Of mind; meet, soon to depart.
The air outside, beckoning fair,
Wafting here what to deliver?
Sagas of wayfarers that dare.
Let’s soar, let’s struggle, endeavour,
New friendship to savour, and food
For thought...

Oh Black AmericansOh! Black Americans,
Africa is your motherland
And most Africans love you
Not because you are called African Americans
And lost your African mother tongues
And cultures.
Being called Americans while speaking
African dialects , suit the most.
Did you hear about some people called "European...

Love nothing more asks forA love-filled inning love asks for,
Not just wedding ring love asks for.
Let eyes dive deep further to probe,
No more than feeling love asks for.
We all desire joys of our own,
Who suffering in love asks for?
Just a moment-long communion,
What...

Here Is Happiness For MeWith her pet toy in hand and playing,
In mother’s lap, a strange smile lurking,
To her lullaby whilst listening,
Eyes on Ma, at last succumbs to sleep,
Here’s happiness for me sound asleep.
Their heavy school bags left way aside,
Uniforms too thrown on whatso side,
Back from bunking class,...

Narrow Goes the LovestreetWhen I was He was not,
With He there I am not,
Narrow goes the love street,
For two space there is not.
O keep light loads on I —
Loads scarce can ye carry,
Lighten thy ego’s load —
And lighter shall ye fly.
Knock, knock, who’s at the door?
Me, it’s me,...

Life Asks ForIf there’s anything life asks for,
Trusting self, nothing life asks for.
Make unfeeling hearts love as ere,
And back to bonding, life asks for.
What like a lifetime’s hoard we hide,
To free heart’s felling life asks for.
To portray just as picture is,
Free truth from hiding, life...

One Monsoon EveCome if you can one monsoon eve,
All wet in rain one monsoon eve.
Make boats— letters we failed to write,
Let them float, feign this monsoon eve.
Borrow fragrance from monsoon clay,
Why waste in vain this monsoon eve.
And if you sight a rainbow there,
Bring too if can one...

Is Not It StrangeOld breath no life has tolerated,
Strange, most change finds itself deserted.
Odd, this friendship I’ve cultivated,
By fighting with self fosters ahead.
It sounds so weird, my steadfast head
By ceaseless changes has been so made.
The coolness by scorching me I’ve forged,
Funny, it’s now hotly coveted.
The success that...

A Dip In Ganges Is DunkTo one, pure-heart of love,
Worldly wisdom is vain;
Him, whom pride fails to move,
All honour seems so feign.
When easy 'tis to swim,
And harder to get sunk,
In such a pure life-stream,
A dip in Ganges' dunk.
