The Magical Light

Listen, O magical light,
Now your thought,
Is shining bright!
In it I'm caught.
The sun I see
Is now seen brighter,
Than before it was to me.
My spirit turns lighter,
Encompassed I break my chain.
My numb shield of sense,
Which takes away my pain,
Uplifting me from trance;
The light as boon plays,
On my ever gloomy face.
I set sail thru moon's rays,
Showered by the love's grace.

Teach Me The Word Love

Teach me, teach me the
word love.
I know what isn't,
I think, enough.
I know only
there is fragrance
an air of affection,
and no repentance.
Once the music of love
rings in heart,
nothing can be nicer,
than this art.
Love is a magic,
beyond flesh and blood.
It makes far too near,
with emotive flood!
Teach me, the way
to love if you know.
You won't succeed,
to surpass me though.

Doesn't Nature?

Doesn't nature draw your eyes ever towards her?
Don't you feel beyond your body is mind there?
A mind with innocence, which may be God's abode!
There are a few men, who get the blessing of god!
Lust is on the way to pure love a inviolable bar
Nature looks after us as dear mother and father.
Borrow the patience, the stillness, purity from her,
and worship the soul, not this physique ever.

Stupid I

My stupid I,
do not know,
the sight of the
falling snow.
My stupid I,
didn't see,
the depth of,
unexplored sea.
My stupid I,
never watch,
how the honey-bees,
do flowers touch!
My stupid I,
do always kill,
the busy ants,
doing their drill.
My stupid I,
can never stand,
to enjoy the sky,
and beautiful land.

Play, Play, O Lord

The music of my dancing heart
Rebels to confine in one part
Play, play, O Lord it in your art.
In grass, in shrubs in trees' every leaf,
In insect birds, every soul in brief,
In meanest creatures, feel you stay.
In hills, rivers, in the sun's ray.
Your magnitude expressed my Lord,
Play, play, play, play my heart's love chord!
I set free my prisoned music,
May your objects be tuned, to stick.

She Danced Like Wolf

She danced like wolf,
Her eyes rocked his mind.
Waist gave an Invitation.
I lost my Love!
His voice turned coarse,
He didn't remorse,
I remained in a corner,
As a wingless Dove!
Her wildness became wilder.
Lips cocked like ever...
It drove him mad,
But I never did leave.
Many sleepless nights went by,
My bed was missing him.
Flowers of garden were no more,
There was only a withered Leaf!

In Tempreate Forest

In Temperate Forest,
Neither cold nor warm.
You can take serene rest,
Expanding your arm.

Humming with lively life,
Birds call from the trees.
In their delight and strife;
Insects rustle like breeze.

The thick leaves of forest,
Cut sunlight in drops.
Seeing the peaceful nest,
Heart happily throbs.

Honey-suckle, blue-bell,
Bloom and laugh in gay.
Hazel, dog-wood, sorrel,
Enjoying the day!

Autumn Is A Name

When the clouds of rain,
take leave from the sky,
Stratus clouds come to
take the charge with clouds dry.
The blue blank vastness sings,
the song of seasonal fest.
Whichever was sown gets ripened,
the trees feel their best.
Autumn is a name,
which warms my veins,
Autumn is a word,
which takes my pains.
In the dilemma of life,
I oscillate though,
Autumn can't give birth to,
any glum I know.

In Fullmoon...

In full moon night,
the moon walked
with me with his light.
There was cool breeze,
his light touched
the heads of trees--
and the green darkness,
spread its sheet
over the leas' face.
The moon sat under
a leafy tree....
looking at me with wonder
He told how he does fade,
and the dust, smoke, fog,
cover him with shade!
He wept, and I heard,
until, he slept and woke
listening to the call of bird!

Kitty Is Her Name

I have a lovely cat,
Kitty is her name.
Seeing a moving ball,
She likes to play a game.
She loves to eat tuna fish,
Ice-cream in summer day.
Mew, mew she calls me,
And follows me, all the way.
When I watch television,
She watches channel Nick.
Thus, she learns from there,
How to make a trick.
She sleeps on a pillow,
Uses quilt in winter days.
I love my cute kitty cat,
Will be loving her always.
