THE TALE OF THE WANDERING

With a heart so tender and body so restless,
With a yearning in the amorous grooves;
In a ceaseless journey ever unfinished
Continuously my wandering spirit moves.


Nothing to gather and nothing to hold,
With no intentions of a mean intellect;
Distribution of all my gains and gifts
Is never for me the perfidy’s suspect.


The spot where my pen or my foot steps
Is the centre of my spirit’s retreat;
Many in the world want many things
But a contemplative pondering is my treat.


I have been made a wandering trustee
Of gifts of God own wealth divine;
Entrusted, I have to keep nothing,
Then only my life will be fulfilled fine.


World wisely cautions me now and then –
Do not take every one in your loving den.
But my wandering spirit knows no stops.
Dying loveless is lying in dust, living when?

A MOMENT OF ETERNITY

A Moment of Eternity
A moment of eternity
In the mortal hours
Has more credence than
All the glamour showers.

To make life a channel of
Pure thoughts and noble deeds
Even for the tiniest time
Is worthier than recorded creeds.

Life

Life

Life cannot be a draughtsman’s design
Or a portion of calculated speech;
Load it not with licentious details
Or with the patterned shapes.

Make mind no master of it,
Either heart no slave ever;
Let life choose them as companions
On the path of its fulfillment.

Allow them to sing in the joy of company,
Restrain their hush and push to compete;
Life was not meant to built castle,
But to flow on its free wings.

Love

Love
Many are the definitions of Love given by different people.
And still many continue to hold love as mere romantic ripple.
Love is no element to be described in sounds and words.
Love continues eternally when body leaves its surds.
Love is an inner urge, love is a passion’s surge too.
Love is a purifying flow cleansening and healing sure to do.
Love s the light of soul, a brightness divine and beautiful.
It burns unwavering confronting blows deadly and frightful.
Love is an attraction in a man an a woman pair.
A current of tempest, smooth at times in dedication flair.
Love is featured in diverse ways and in diverse manner.
It causes vibrations of spirit but not alone under sex banner.
Love is a celestial power, God’s blessing unrestrained.
It is the special song of soul withmelody within unexplained.
