I am what I am

I am what I am

I am what I am

known to others

stranger to myself!

I am the river, gyrating

upstream and downstream

with my own current

In the search of sea, to converge!

I am the sun

creating n nurturing

enlightening n immolating!

I am the earth,

living and absorbing

giving and ending

where it starts!

- Devendra

Life full of hope!

Life full of hope!!

such rain will come
metamorphosing clouds into droplets
dispersing colours of nature!

Such rain will come
returning birds to nests
caring and sheltering
carrying the world on feathers!

such rain will come
shedding the skin, subjugating the past
flying high into new skies
entourage of thunder and lightening

We, singing the song of rain
We, rocking in the rain's arm
Stregthening the bond between us!

Such wind will blow
carring message from angels
spreading wings of nature
propogating word of love
winds of silence, winds of affection!

Such wind will blow,
Sculpting new dunes
making new trees
creating riffles in the ocean

We, surfing on the strong gales
We, profusely flowing, waves of happiness in succession

Such night will come
awakening the dormant dreams
enveloping everything with darkness
forming the bridge, between the now and then

mind at ease, Heart at peace
tranquility will sets us free
In the voluptuous joy of each sob
we will find each other!

Such night will come and fragrance of life,
will linger beyond the night!

When you are in Love

When you are in Love ......

Tell me, By loving someone,
Do you get get love in return?

It saysLife is full of happiness and sorrows!
where should I search happiness?
Within sorrows?

Am I living on the sapping hope?
Old scars are yet to heal,
then why search for new pains?

I am not where i am,
I search to myself, where I am?
So what, if I am losing the direction?
Isn't the universe is one?

I am not ready to exist,
like a flower, observing serenely,
dying petals, falling to the ground
one by one, selflessly

God, where is my strength?
Tell me, how do I exist?
with revolting revulsions
where purpose ceasing to be a purpose
a bitter realization of selfless love,

Tell me, How do I exist?
with conflicting inner feelings,
with raging conflagration,
worshipping fire, immolating self!

Death

Death ......

I know I am dying, in all sense
what will be left, an empty body
lighter and quieter than I am

I close my eyes, await for the death
each time I accept the death, part of me dies
with every passing breath, I exist
every passing moments, brings me closer to death

Serene waves now hitting the shores, making the noise
waving in succession, spectacularly,
rolling and rosing over the shoreline

I am the river, gyrating
upstream and downstream
with my own current
In the search of sea, to converge

I am weightless, diminutive, amorphous,
Liberated, detached and rejoicing

Begining of unloosening,
seeking salvation
shodows and chasms
releasing with sweet spasms
Lightsome, alighting
unwavering hope of resurrection
in the next life

Can you?

Can you see?
- the beatiful n lovely future is waiting
- the expanding horizons

Can you feel?
- the rain, the aroma of earth and life thereafter
- the awakening, moments holding joyous memories

future holds
no lament no tears
no worries no fear

Can you hear?

Voices from the falling stars
speak of beautiful future to unfold

Crooning from our guardian angel
speak of glorious life forward

Humming of flowers and trees
speak of romance and lively breeze

Silent whispers echoing again and again
Love you! Love you!

Are you with me?

It's raining hard,
drumming a rhythm, dripping to the ground.
creating puddles, changing the color of water
chirping crickets, witnessing my loneliness

dewdrops waiting eagerly, to converge with the earth
Creepers growing serenely, wending their way around trees.

Thundering and lightening skies
dark and tinged with crimson
Strong gales, battles in the mind
consternation and commotion

rainwater pelting on the rooftops
resounding and penetrating
truculent and besieging
stormy mind, with resonating thought waves

It rained heavily, yet left the earth parched
I got drenched, yet remained thirsty within

I'm praying for this phase to pass
I'm praying this love lasts forever.

the sun is rising, are you with me?

- Devendra

I will wait for you!

I will wait for you,
from dawn to dusk, my lifetime!

I will wait for you,
with pure heart and soul!

I will wait for you,
with our memories, deep within my heart!

I will wait for you,
with our dreams holding on my palms!

I will wait for you,
with a light of hope of lovely future!
