A Dream

My heart swells
And wells
With joy
When I picture
You and I
Floating among
The silvery cloud
Of Heaven's shroud.

Soul and soul
Conversing
Ceaselessly
Of the Book of Eternity
Melting
In the music
That springs
From the divine strings.

Swaying
We glide

I saw a very old man

I saw a very old man very old indeed

older than any man

older than the hills and the seas

older than the planet earth to be sure

and who knows
it was he per haps

who witnessd the big bang

The sun and moon are his eyes

one is aburning in a huff

another is mellowed with mercy and kindness

and the, mans matted hair is hardly visible

Masculinity

Neither do I hate a man nor do I detest awoman
But I hate masculinity
Every man and woman is masculine
Because everyone suffers from hopes and fears
Every phallus and uterus expands and contracts
If there were no hope therewould be nothing to fear
There are as many heavens as there are men
The inscription at the gate of my heaven is_
GIVE UP ALL HOPE OR YOU CANNOT ENTER
Dante's hell is what my heaven is
I long for a world wherethey will not fear castration
We donot want strength Oh God we donot long for hope

The lotus eye

A lotus is born in muddy water

You cannot grow lotus anywhere else

A sage is born in a decadent world

Jesus never comes during any golden age

He came in an age harrowed by humbugs

A lotus has eyes

They are enamoured of the Sun

Jesus had lotus eyes

They could see the Sun and nothing else

He saw light and nothing else

O This Pain Is Unbearable!

one who is ever close to heart
and opens out baring all in total faith
has suddenly closed it tight
and gone lipless with far-away looks-
o how killing it is for both souls!
heart seems to outburst in concern
every nerve straining to send
unbearable ' rush-back-to-me ' messages
all moments souls interchanged
o what a wreckage we have become!
o heavenly angel, descend on us at once
take us in each of your hand
hold us both in the bosom of your heart-
o the pain is unbearable!

How will Death be?

How will Death be?

I stand
o'er the sand
by the sea, so blue,

Lost in the grand
beauty of dancing waters
with the cool breeze
murmuring past.

Mother Nature's hand
has displayed
with her magic wand
a colourful band
of bright glow
in a slow flow
on the evening horizon! .

With darkness around

WILTED FLOWER

Like a flower
That sweetly blooms
In the bower;

Shedding its beauty
All around,
As its bounden duty;

Know Thyself

Civilisation is now up with arms

The multinationals will reach every remote corner

Soaps and toothpastes and cold drinks

Must be sold among the eskimos and pigmies

and the Jarowas

Everyone must share the fruits of development

And technology

Those who refuse to share our wealth are damned

And must be eliminated from the world

The hermit's cloister has been shattered

Dame Luck

DAME LUCK

If you sit in the corner
And wait for Dame Luck
To step in tinkling
With her bells jingling
And to dance to your honour—
You're sure to pluck!

Do not make a horse of your wish
And ride it gaily,
For, bare wishes, devoid of action,
Will for ever, fix you in the same station—
While others from below will dish
You out and surface merrily!

Get up, ye man!
Work, work till ye perspire,
Gather all your energy nascent
And act in the present.

Equanimity

Life in this world
at times
bestows absolute happiness.

Life in this world
at times
gives us entire sadness.

Both are two sides of a coin.

When happiness abounds
one shouldn't get excited
being stirred by it
and get overwhelmed.

When sadness descends
one shouldn't be crest-fallen
being dejected by it
and get depressed.
