Fallen star

Another idol falls
Proving the truth
He is only human
Not an angel or saint.

They gather all around him
To mock, taunt and jeer
Hyenas and vultures
Waiting for his end to come.

Forgetting in their arrogance
Human beings stumble
And to stumble one has to walk
Those who do nothing, never fail.

The idol will rise up again
Walk tall and in firm steps
All he will have to do is
Brush off the dust from his dress.

golden lily

A despot father plucked a golden lily
and planted it in a chamber of iron
hoping it will hide its beauty and glow
and keep it away from desiring palms.

That was not meant to be the flower
bloomed its own glory its fragrance
spread far and wide and seekers
seeked out the beauty, iron walls crashed.

Come down again

come down again my lord as buddha as christ
show these hearts torn with hatred your light
the beauty of your love, your compassion
needs to be showered down on this hell burning.

Human arms are tearing away failing to embrace
the power of hatred is slowly conquering love.
Only a love as strong as yours will be able to bind
these shattered souls full of hatred and rage.

the fire of hell has been left burning too long here
evil hands have fed this fire again and again.
Fragile human love no longer works on this inferno
it will need a long, loving spell of endless rain.

Drench their hearts, quench their thirst, put out the fire
which is endlessly burning in their lovethirsty soul.
Come down oh Lord before its too late, before this
fire engulfs us all, the entire human race turns to ash.

Child of light

A child of light captured in dark
eyes that loved colours and flowers
roaming among aching, dead souls
paying for her fragile innocence.

She roamed around those dark
alleys thronged with undead souls,
languishing in that endless dark
just like her, snatched away from light.

Her captor thought he had her
because she was losing her light
then one day a thread of light
came down from above to touch.

No one was around then, all her guards
were far away, the light turned into
a ladder, the child climbed the ladder
back to the land of light and colours again.

Love, compassion and friendship

All the angels were playing in heaven’s garden
When they noticed their darling friend
Compassion has been missing these games
Since long, how long they don’t even know.

Love and friendship started to search
Saw her sitting on a cloud
Far away from bustling crowd
They tiptoed to her to startle her.

Before they did their hearts prevented
For she was gazing so aptly down
When they followed her gaze they saw
A speck of gentle light shining there.

Compassion saw them and beckoned
Together they flew down to earth
The light was a gentle soul in plight
Surrounded by dark shadows and pits.

Everytime a shadow reached out for her
with its icy, cold fingers, or she moved
too close to one of the pits, compassion
prevented her using her unseen power.

Friendship and love hugged compassion
the light which created thereby
destroyed all the shadows, filled up the pit
together the three flew back to heaven.

Chasing butterflies

When that person called you up
at odd times with desire to speak,
you were busy then having fun
with persons you admired,
with those who filled your days
with fun and laughter,
make your hours shrink
into enchanting seconds…..


That one call used to bring a break,
little lull in those ecstatic moments.
You some times pick up the phone
and gave some polite excuse to him.
Some times you just used to let it ring
and later give him some half hearted alibi..

Then one day your butterflies
flew away to other pastures,
Leaving behind only shadows of
sweet memories and empty hours,
you turned around to search
for that person who has pestered…

All you could see was a shadow
disappearing in distant horizon,
Love came, knocked your door,
waited for you and departed rejected,
When you were busy chasing butterflies
the flower of your life withered

To be loved...

As you stand on the threshhold my child
the border of leaving my home and
joining the home of your loved one
let me share some thoughts
from mother to daughter

First thing you will receive there
is love and adoration my child
every one will greet you with a smile
and every heart will warm up at you.

It will be your duty, your luck, your goal
to keep that light shining in those eyes,
keep that warmth glowing in those hearts.
Just keep in mind child its not easy to keep
light shining in so many eyes and
warmth pouring down from so many hearts.

You will have to take your extra steps
and leave your door of heart open forever.
If your eyes are shining bright with love
and your heart is pouring out unselfish warmth
rare souls will be able to resist you and your charm.

rain

drops of pearl showering down
on the thirsty earth from heaven
smell of wet soil filling up the senses
tiny drops wetting the garden roses.

Drops of pearls on red roses
pearls scattered on grass
reflecting the blue heavens
quenching the thirst of earth.

restless souls

Born with a soul without rest
or they are driven to that end
by hatred without reason,
or poisoning of mind.

By cunning, scheming minds
who stay in hiding and
send these restless beings
to hit and destroy peace.

Everywhere they leave
mark of destruction,
hatred and lost lives
first one lost being their own.

Pray to god that she
brings these souls under
her wing of eternal peace,
love and make them surrender.

Teach them hatred will
bring back pain not glory.
Destruction can never write a golden story
