Who is mad?
I often wonder what the mad
think about the world around them,
of people who declare themselves sane.
The mad never call each other insane!
Vulgarly materialistic
in a lavish marble tiled room, centrally located.
My eyes should open to a spectacular view
of all the goodness that in nature grew.
The Universe
There was an entity more trivial than dust and
there was a phenomenon called the big bang -
a force causing enormous destruction,
deplumed the entity into decimation.
The Indian soup recipe
Take a huge earthen pot
and place it on some fire of sort.
Then add a serving of diverse culture,
not forgetting to continuously stir the mixture.
Next:
Impart a thousand languages into it
and start boiling ‘em bit by bit.
Turn of a billion people now,
they fit in there somehow.
The breathtaking northern mountains
with snowcaps like frozen eternal fountains;
melts into the pot like the melody of a concert,
the grandeur of the majestic and endless Thar Desert,
On his helplessness
My heart breaks when I
look at him helplessly, cry.
The moist eye hardly disposes
mighty eternity the apathy proposes.
My restful notions
My blissful mind
thinks of god
as his creations -
Scroll in thoughts
the human kind
and creatures timid
to mankind;
from pebbles to rocks
and stars to meteors,
the Universe
so vast, so wide
where truth
is the only guide.
Rhythmic moon,
the solar motion,
and dance of the galaxy -
Everything flows
through the river of time
wed locked in matrimony.
Love or lust?
An embrace that makes the body curl -
as of a blanket in a cold winter night.
Emotions boil in the vacant mind
when her visage deludes my sight.
Crisis
Ocean swells with anxiety
as the firmament
displays its proprietary
and the heaven
splits the sky.
The humble ship
moves along
with its sail
about to die.
To and fro does
the vessel sway.
The hull’s about to
give away.
The empty deck
longs for hands
an anxious eye
to look
for land.
Star-Supernova-Dust the journey
Boom
it exhumed.
In nothingness
there was a glow -
Hydrogen ions bashed
and made heat flow.
With such deafening noise,
such valor, such poise
- light years afar
the birth of a star.
Planets came,
moons followed them
saw a very happy family -
perfect accord lest mayhem.
Of faultless harmony
darkness held testimony.
With neither a sorrow nor a fear
the saga sustained for a million year.
Beautiful Death
(This was my first poem ever... Critically it was literally ripped apart
)
Death must be a beautiful experience;
So calm, so composed – the promise of permanence and certainty.
