Dancing like a fairy
You reach out for me
In my dreams
Your veil is studded
With diamonds and pearls
It covers your face
I am mystified
Trying to see through
Those jewels block my eyes.
Your wealth dazzles me
I fail to see your eyes
They are the things that are
Precious than diamond, pearls
Yet you keep them hidden
Behind your diamonds and pearls
Throw away your veil
Show your true self.

Shell and pearl
A restless soul
Which left the earth
With insatiate desires
Stumbled upon the body
Of a meditating sage
Who has left for heaven
Immersed in meditation
The shell stayed on earth.
The soul captured the body
Happy as a king
Thought that he will get
All the honour of the sage
The disciples came to see
Their teacher, mentor
They gathered around him.
To hear him, adore him.
Were shocked to see
The vulgar transformation.
They scattered away soon
Mumbling among themselves
Is it really him
Or some ghost has stolen
His body in stealth
His soul is not within.
The spirit forgot in haste
Body is only shell
Its our actions that decide
Shall we be adored
Or be abhorred
He stole the shell
And thought he had
The hidden pearl.

A brook
Life is a brook, a river heading for ocean
it flows through different terrains
the deserts, the woods, the mountains the plains
all come and go, but the river flows unrestrained.
like her the life flows through success, failure
love, hurt, death, birth in all galore
just like a river cant stop for a rock, a stone,
life cant stop for a wound, a loss, a pain.
river have to go through all the hues to meet its ocean
life has to clear all its earthly due to meet god, its destination
it has to go through all the ups and downs curves and turn
it has to paint its blank canvas with a picture lovely and serene.
