WHISPERS: Swan Song

Dark clouds have rained and gone

You smile, in burst of rainbow, across sky

In deluge of pain, I smile too

__

Love stands
Like the lotus in the pond

Unattached, Alone, Deflowered

___

SWAN SONG

(–noun the last act or manifestation 

of someone or something; 

farewell appearance)

__________________

Lotus pond

Waits

Silently

Lotus flowers too

Pink petals -hesitatingly

Unfurl, heron silently stare

Life unfolding,

In the morning mist

Boddhi tree floated, a message

Of life,

In the falling leaf

On the temple floor

Breeze stood still

Music of Flute stopped playing

In the bamboo grove

Swan has started singing its song

Life, lives in little steps of love

But love bleeds life

In little steps, too

Falling, leaving and dying

Swan is singing

Its swan song

Time does not know,

It has come

Deep in the temple

Buddha Smiles

Nothing is forever

Forever is nothing

WHISPERS: Another life time...

My mind seeks
Certainty
Chaos is certain

__

Your love unfolds me

Into being

What I will be

__

Desire to hold you

A screaming need

Of my every sigh

This post was posted empty in year 2010, with a promise to myself, that I will come back to this post and write what I feel now....

When the belonging breaks, it breaks without a sound but the reverberations of that silence, echoes across many life times...  

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt
It was a pleasure spend hours together at Beveldere Museum if Vienna
watching this painting unfold hidden meanings within me

ANOTHER LIFE TIME

__________________

 

When I think of you

Beyond living

I feel

Happy in being

When I think of you

Beyond dying

I feel

That’s all I need

To hold you forever

In my heart

To touch you beyond my grave

I just need to live beyond living

In the eternal depths of now

I got the purpose of life

To live

Beyond living

Memories, pleasures, dreams

And thoughts are just product of

Words, image or past

Nothing that is real

But love is,

Was and will be

As real as

Another life time

WHISPERS: River and the Tree...

Lips interlocked
Hearts entangled, bodies entwined

We stay in our own desert spaces, all alone

__

Sea shore and waves
Pulsating rhythm – far and close
An endless coming together

RIVER AND THE TREE

Sitting by the river

Drawing out few of my dreams

I spread them across

And she offered

Some drops of water

And I went about brushing off my dreams

Stroke by stroke

From the plains of my heart

Spread all over the sky

With many dark clouds

- Floating like doubts

Memories stretch my imagination

To the last thin strand

Before it breaks with a twang

That reverberates inside my soul

And a ripple escapes my fingers

Playing within the river

And she looks up, still holding my hand

“Did you say something?”

I said

“No! Nothing,

Just broke another dream

Scraped another desire from my heart,

What did you hear?”

She said “Nothing”

And then she flowed silently away

Looking back till her last bend

Around the corner

Where the tree

Leaned over to hug her

Kiss her

How I wish

I could have been that tree again

Rooted to the spot

In her embrace

While she said her goodbyes

And my memories replay

Another break from Past

How I wish

I should have not been that tree

Rooted to the spot

How I wish

To cut myself off my roots

Fall within her flow, to float silently

Within her innerself

As she rushes into sea and transform

How I wish to float eternally, searching

In that universal consciousness of her

What I lost within

How I wish to find myself, eternally

In depths of her love within me

WHISPERS: Loss, longing; life as it is....

DID I LOOSE YOU?

_____

I am shedding memories 

Like leaves in autumn

Did I loose you, in between my thoughts?

LONGING OF LIFE TIME

________

Small brush with feelings
Takes a long time to fade and dry
On the wet lips or in the memories of life

__

THE LIFE AS IT IS

______________

An angel told me yesterday

To live

One has to die first

And I did

It’s all so wrong

Is this life?

Where thoughts corrode

Innerself

And mind takes over all Senses

And still finds no solace

Is this chaos – Life?

Of balancing two opposites

Of continuing to live in the past

Looking up to future

And never in present

Is this life?

Where all one does, is to pay for

Past – Karma as they call

While one does not even know

What is the balance?

How can I live, even in this life?

When

Whenever I ask the angels – to live

They let me die

Another death
