A Life Exists
There is perhaps a momentary satisfaction in revenge,
there is satisfaction in forgiveness too endless.
What if I do neither?
What if I completely forget what had happened?
Then there is heavenly bliss. A life exists.
The Move of Life
I didn’t get it even after wanting, you lost it even after getting it!
By philosophy, your regret should be greater than mine.
But in reality, I am stuck in not having received,
and you have found love again!
Understanding life’s move is truly difficult!
Annoying to Myself
Dress me up,
wrap me in the white sari of a shroud.
Seat me on a palanquin!
I will lie in rest within the grave.
On this earth, I have grown terribly annoyed.
Today, I am annoying even to myself!
A Lock on the Mouth
A great apocalypse flows within the heart.
All words to express the burning hide in fear.
There are no words left anymore to express my pain.
So I have bolted even the doorway of my mouth!
The Life of a Flower
When my eyes meet yours, how light the heart feels.
Even imagining your touch, warmth brushes the heart.
I only think,
if someone who can deliver warmth even in imagination,
were found in reality,
wouldn’t life become tender like a newly bloomed flower?
The Ability to Understand and to Make Understand
Humans do not have the ability to make others understand!
The ability to understand resides within oneself.
One who will understand, understands from their own awareness.
And one who does not wish to understand,
no matter how much logic is shown by the explainer,
will never understand.
I Want You
On the shore of creation, nothing has been created yet
that can drown your emptiness.
I still haven’t found your replacement, this is wrong!
Rather, I haven’t even seen the existence of any creation close to you!
Even at the final doorway of attainment, I will say,
even at the cost of everything, I want only you.
Dreams Remain Dreams
Our mornings begin thinking of someone,
the person we trust, consider our own.
With whom we sketch plans of spending life in love.
That person does not stay with us for long.
As if pointing a finger at our eyes to show us,
dreams remain dreams for a lifetime!
Reality is vastly different from them.
Upside-Down
The epic borrowed from you,
even after reading again and again, I couldn’t grasp it!
That day you told me, a loveless lover.
I smiled! I returned laughing the entire way.
Because before you, I myself am an epic!
You feel nothing even in my cries!
I too thought, a feelingless beloved.
Yet you yourself are the visible form of emotion.
I had seen tangible proof,
when the found kitten had gone missing.
Turning into Stone
When dreams shatter, people turn to stone.
And after becoming stone, people lose feeling.
They no longer possess such a mental process,
that would allow them to dream again.
Rather, stone is the symbol of broken dreams!
