We Belong

 The Sunday Muse #196

 What can we share together?

We are visitors on a vast sphere 

Breathing in fumes of distrust and disaster 

Shortly timed lives we live

You and me

In this claustrophobic 

Whorl of self-destruction 

Who is wise and who is foolish?

Period

 The Sunday Muse #195

All beliefs confessed, die evenly

For grandeur harvested in

Joys keep losing momentum

Not once pride questions reasons

Seriously, to understand visions

When xeroxed youth zeroes down

Spiraling in a bottomless abyss

More or less, the smoked life

Sleeps peacefully in the shadows

Branching in the fragrant earth.

Glazed

The Sunday Muse #194



 

An aged vision

Frosted

Chiseled

In tiny specks

Silvered layers

Tempered in rhymes

Peeps

Tempts

A forged existence

What one wants to

See

feel

Lies in a lot more

Silent echoes

Rings

Sings

Through a timeless frame.

Let the Heart Sing!

The Sunday Muse # 193





                                          “James Dean playing the bongos, NYC, 1955. Photographed by Dennis Stock ”



A smokescreen

The cacophonic world 

Let the heart sing

In the arms of freedom.


There are layers

In the colorful world

Let us forget who we are

And sing to the winds!


The isolation

Chains the spirit in a crowd

In the wilderness 

A true self breathes!

Following the Heart

 The Sunday Muse #192




I took the bait

And moved ahead

Without looking back

And here I am

Infront of the reality

Touching my soul.

I followed my heart

Not easy in these

Tiring times,

But, the odds

Couldn't stop me

And here I am

In the heart of my dreams

Embracing without fear

All that I missed.

(Last month I packed my bags and baggage and moved back  to a place which I have left three decades back ago. The place is not the same. The topography and demography has undergone many changes. It is going to be a real challenge adjusting to the  new environment. I am not giving up! )
