He loved her

He used to stare;
He loved her smile
and the twinkle in her eyes
when she did so!

He hugged her;
appreciated her slender white body
and its grace;
called her his only angel!

He was impressed,
with her bold moves
and was proud of the
causes she stood for!

He saw his own jubilation
with her victory
and applauded!

He loved her;
yes!
and that was seven years before!

A Garland

A lotus bud
meditates in fervent devotion
to the sole love of its life.
Numerous roots spread all over lake
strengthening its love!
It stands holding its smell within;
bright colors to unfurl ;
Waiting for all its prayers to be answered!

A bunch of milk white jasmines;
group together on an evening;
A twinkle on the corner of eyes,
a smile on the curl of their lips;
they giggle and gossip
and blush at the very sight of each passerby.
Intoxicating every wind with their rich perfume!

I walk on this side of lake,
collecting flowers for your garland;
A single lotus? or a bunch of jasmine?
I collect both..
And the choice is yours :)

At the end......

Collecting the jacket
that lie on his dinner table,
I step out and wait to listen
to a thud of door closing behind me.
Strange, I hear none!
As I walk,
my sandals resound
on the empty street.
His words reverberate
through my heart,
"This is over,
This is the end!"
I have not his hand but
a distant lonely star
to guide me.
Strange again,
I'm not least frightened
of the dark now!
I rush forward,
with new found dreams,
and a new found determination.
"Peace pervades.. "

My Guardian Angel

Eyes, wide opened,
cannot be shut.
Time seizes to exist in my world,
where there's no dark or light.
Each breath is a struggle,
known not to one.
A tear at the corner of eyes,
hisses as it reaches the ground.

Smoke, mist and
now........ Light!

He picks up something
from his backpack;
Ties it to my frail hands
with a filament of hope,
Gifts me a smile of trust.
And then..... Vanishes!

With a wonder struck gape,
I step forward.
With its each flutter,
it spills innumerable colors.
a new world emerges out of no where
And that's .....My Destiny.

Flutter stops, cord breaks,
I stare at the wink of the butterfly
circling around me.
Thread of hope waves in my hand.....

My guardian angel has gifts to deliver!

ಬದುಕಿನ ಸಂಜೆಯ ಧ್ಯಾನ

ಎಂದೂ ತೆರೆಯದ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಕಿಟಕಿಗೊಂದು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬಿಳಿ ಪರದೆ
ಬದುಕಿನ ಭಾವಗೀತೆಯ ಚಿತ್ರ ವೈಭವದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಶೋತೃ
ಸಂಜೆಗಣ್ಣಿನ ಮಸುಕಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡದೆಲ್ಲ ಛಾಯಾಮಯ
ನಾಲ್ಕು ದಿವ್ಯ ಗೋಡೆಗಳ ನಡುವೆ 'ನಾನೆಂಬ' ಧ್ಯಾನ

But Still I Love You

Etched on to the decaying walls
of my soot black heart;
Are memories of your sunshine smile,
and sweet music of love!

Whirlpools of dark feelings,
crawling over my soul;
Tightening grip,
marked cruelty!

Tears falling down,
piercing spears;
A thunder and a bright spark,
And then dead silence!

Magic all gone,
but i still love you!
