Dreaming the bubbles in blues

Dreaming the bubbles in blues

There are sailors sailing beyond the shores of love;
The bearded poet sees the blushing lulls of his imagination to bully my logic.
He is a creative person who hoists the flag of legitimacy.
Dreams fill the void and blink at us.
The beams of love dry him up.
She is a passionate musician singing a lullaby for the forlorn dog and cat at home.
Michael Angelo fires his shots on a canvas.
Paintings live today to enact the moment.
I am a seeker.
My mind is silent.
Bubbles of light and shadows of the past 
swing around the Aristotles of the East.
I dare to dream for all.

Tracing the bliss of love

Tracing the bliss of love

I smile at what I have lost for ever.
Nothing much remains the same without her.
I know myself with her wings of poesy.
I live in a world of chaotic freeze enshrined in my imaginative sculpt of poems.
My truth is textual all the time.
I couldn't decode what happens in love.
She is my soul while drinking the elixir of love.
Her blushing eyes mimic my poise for insane intimacy.
What is the Zebra line between the chasm and chaste longing?
My shadows spill on the way ahead with the blinking bulls of seclusion.
How do I know the taunting rein of the lust?
I am a vegabond caught up with the whirlwind of mundane life.
My poems breathe in ecstasy to embrace her bewitching eyes.
Monalisa smiles at me from the replica hanging on the wall.

Shredding the Coconut Shell

Shredding the Coconut Shell 

Every day, we make it a routine to eat our delicacies with coconut.
Taste buds demand its hegemony over everything on my plate.
I relish the coconut chutney with Idli and Dosa.
Mindless paths of my wisdom speak louder than the marathon campaigns of political jokers.
I speak my mind all the time.

Every time, a new coconut falls on the Earth.
I spill my wishes to her now and then.
Coconuts are so common here.
She remains silent in the coconut groove.
My sweet dreams get diluted with the coconut oil.
I smell it with the inevitable longing.

I break the coconut shell occasionally,
scripting my magic of love.
I pray to the Almighty to nourish the coconut.
Nothing much has changed with our longing for the coconut milk.
I speak with the trees quite often.
Who cares for the trees yielding all that they want?
My love is lost in the shell.

Pilgrimage to the Holy Hills

Pilgrimage to the Holy Hills 

I invoke the bliss of communion.
None can stay relevant in the world of time.
Changes smirk at you.
Crystal clear thoughts spring up.
Brainy bins blink at you.

Birds chirp in the early dawn.
I listen to their lovely conclave occasionally.
Silence sweeps through the world.
Is it a rhythm of the Cosmos?
I keep chanting and walking with my team.

Heavens open!
"Stay still in the eyes of the world!
Better knock on your egoistic splurge!", says the Hermit.
You can rely on the petals of love.
Stringent blinks sync with the Heartless mind!

Pampa flows out of the benedictions of the Lord Ayyappa.
Lush green vicinity spills the elixir.
Everyone wakes up to worship Shri Dharmasastha.
I wash away my sins once in a while.
Swamy Saranam! Om Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa!
