My last offering

The Lotus

The day you came to me a begging

I was drowned by joy and grief

I’d fill your bowl to the brim I vowed

But no pauper; you turned out to be a royal thief

Every thing that was mine you robbed

And yet I glowed like a bride in ecstasy

Holding the Salver on your own

When you called me out from your throne

I was still at choosing flowers

The best for you to adorn

The gales came rushing in

And oh my beloved king

They left barren, all my trees .

Please take me, whispered my heart

I am waiting for Him from the start

Bemused I looked in

And there oh my king

Bloomed a single lotus

My last offering!

Amigo Amigo

Amigo- Amigo

My friend, my dear mate!

You help me take a step or two,

With you I share a few words,

Right out of my soul

At times when the world appears to be a mist,

When there is no one around

I think of you, and oh my friend,

You come to me right away!

Putting your serene touch on my heavy heart.

A divine melody, you are out of this world.

I cannot get at you in a crowd

Nor even when I am all alone.

But , you always know the day

I am down with deep sorrow.

Deeper despair still;

And you touch me with your song

Soft and tenderly;

They take away the dark shadows clouding my heart,

And flood me with light and happiness.

My amigo!On the dark wintry nights,

You bring with you my sunny days,

And then you go.

Awakening the love and desire;

For the unknown, unheard of,

For you my ever elusive friend

The Scholar

The Scholar

I am a wise man, a philosopher I am !
I don’t care a damn for you,
I give a fig for them.
The world is full of fools ,
I’ll prove beyond doubt
Negation is the buzzword, positive is out.
Why run after illusions !
While nothing is going to stay.
Nothing you should care for.
To no one you should pray.
I am here to guide you all,
To your ultimate goal .
There is only nothingness,
Or nothing at all!
I have read a lot of books,
Treaded the scholarly path
Contemplation years later
Traveling on the rut –
I know for certain and
So you should too -
Nothings remains sans your wisdom
Nothing but Conscious you!
I can answer all you ask for,
Dispel all your doubts.
Consciousness is the only count,
On which I am bowled out !!
