A Book’s Urge

Resting on a dusty shelf
Leading a life of a recluse
I am waiting for you
To uncover me and embrace

I’ve seen you come and go
Encapsulated in your struggles
Drenched and lost in your life’s web
Time has come to embrace me

In this state of Delirium
Pick me up and set me free
I will guide you towards light
I am your spiritual Ecstasy

Yes, don’t ignore me now
I am your delight, waiting
To be uncovered
On a dusty and humid shelf

Connecting virtually

We may not
Hold each other’s hands
We may not
Meet or greet
But there’s a way
We can feel
Through a divine connection
Across the oceans and seas
Let’s mourn together
For all the deaths
Against an invisible enemy
Let’s pray together
In this moment of solidarity
Yes we are connecting
Through our hearts
Electronically!

Stay safe everyone!

Do you see What I see?

Do you see?
Rays of the Sun
Blushing to see no one
In a solitary city

Do you see?
Struggle of life
To grab hold of
The only remains of hope

Do you see?
What I see
My last few breaths
Fighting on the edge


Losing drop by drop
Struggling to seek happiness
Should I set myself free
from this earthly bond?

Now I see,
The other side
Vaporised to see the brightness
Of my life beyond

Hope Is Alive

Hope is freezing
Tethered delicately
With the strings of silk
To all of us

Hope is sobbing
Slipping and snowing
From the hands
Of all mankind

But Hope is relentless
Flowing through the cracks
Struggling but persevering
And finding ways to stay Alive

The Arrow of Entropy

Arrow of time
Pushing us forward to chaos
Our order is melting
With increasing disorder

Aging is difficult
With fears capturing our mind
A man becomes pessimist
With the ticking of clock

This is the law of nature
Law of science
Every system is bound
To collapse or Die

But we have the power
To delay this demon
With firing our love
And Cleansing with compassion

Life Finds a way

Life needs a moment
A moment to expand
Piercing every obstacle
Surviving every storm

Life finds a way
In the lifeless primordial soup
A single cell to flourish
An opportunity to break barriers

Life won’t give up
Against the blow of asteroid
Persevering in the darkness
Fighting every enemy

Are you Listening

Are you listening
The voice so bleak
A murmur from the corner
A voice so faint
A sound piercing
Through your breath

Are you listening
A shrill of your consciousness
A voice of hope
Igniting from your soul
The sound of courage
Emanating from the mist

Listen that voice
The epiphany of life
The melody that pushes
The melancholic tide
Permeating from life!

Sent here for a Reason

Mankind!
You are sent here
For a reason
In this ever increasing
Chaos of this universe
You are a moment
Of order
In the vast Disorder
Don’t be a catalyst
Of this increasing disaster
Live this moment in peace
And let love create
A greater ease
Mankind!
You are a precious jewel
An oasis in the
Desert of Cosmos
Let the chaos
Freeze in time
And this moment
Last a bit longer!
