unheard

The sound of bells ringing
Tickled her soul
The sight of birds in many hues
Made her heart smile
The flowers in full bloom
Kept her company
Beautiful melodies flowed in the air
And the knock at the door she longed for
Went unheard in her ears

The heat

The heat piercing through
Penetrating every inch of the body
Excruciating each cell

Cassia Fistula- Golden shower plant

The unbearable pain
Manifesting itself
As dazzling golden flowers
In the height of summer
When the world is so cruel!

Thank you for the magnificent blooms
For showing
How the best of creations comes
From deepest of pain! 

When

It's when your soul burns like a wick
When everything inside you melts
When you forget your religion and yourself
That god enters you without pausing
To check your name, your face nor your wealth!

Relished

Those  unspoken words transformed into a beautiful song
Those tender feelings from the heart soaked her in love
Titillating music flowing around her led her to ecstasy
The flowers bloomed, the clouds changed their hue
The world filled with colours, smiles on all faces
She relished the moment she chose to share with herself!

breaking away

Breaking away from all the ties with the world
She danced, in front of the crowd but far from them
Her soul connecting with divine, the stage the universe
In the darkness of the absolute existence
She was happy, untouched by the world

Should she

Should she laugh at the gimmicks of the world or allow to be wounded
Bewildered by the ways of the world she stared at life
Where would she find solace
She turned to the children of the world!

Wouldnt

The words which her heart wanted to tell didnt have a voice

The desires that took shape within never left her heart

Her feelings always played games with her, that she knew

And wouldnt let them find a way into another heart!

Till yesterday

Till yesterday you were an enemy
And today a friend
The flowers were in full bloom
And looked happy
Today when I looked out
They were gone
But they were in my neighbor's garden
Facing away from me
Till yesterday they were his enemy
An today they chose to be his friend

Is there?

A silent witness to many a life's stories 

A constant companion in the silent nights

As the lovers look at you from different zones

Telling you about those unspeakable pathos

I look at you with a barren heart

Is there anyone on the other side of the world waiting to hear my story? 

You

The vastness of the universe
The stillness of silence
The darkness of space
The dance of life
You, the Absolute
To you I surrender!

Revisits

She revisited those alleys where she lived once

Looking at those vignettes which her life laid

Amused, she walked, trying to feel those moments

Which were now so distant to her!

she smiled

Amid the chaos, the familiar and the unfamiliar
The screams and the smiles and love and hurt
She walked, with a smile that bore signs of ecstasy
As  million notes create music that breaks the wall
Which envelopes the world from eternity
She smiled and walked ahead into the universe

there shall

There shall be flowers in my garden too
And i know it is true
There shall be music being played for me
And my heart sway with it
There shall be a bed of roses made for me
And i shall melt in its fragrance
The skies will smile at me one day
And shower me with all the warmth that i need
The winds shall whisper in my ears
All the beautiful words i like to hear
The rains shall fall on me lovingly
Unmaking me to be one with Him
