Erstwhile Moment

Shared heavens

On a cruise of life

And shared stark delight

That comes out of this life

And shared slopes and hills,

Dales and valleys,

Shared blues and dark

In hope of painting

The sapphire, the red, white and black

By way of which we sheltered

And garnered the theme of life—

Its gist, its essence, its wholeness and grandeur.

Sensing The Past

We sensed things

Out of the window of life

Shunned all that led us to sorrow

And broke the deceitful vows,

Captured the moments of truth

In which these lives rest:

We weaved dreams together,

Pushing backward all the hardships

Distanced from the reign of shadows,

A shroud of darkness

Imbibing the true path leading to

The karmic cycle of hopes,

And we reign these lives

With unimaginable jubilation.

Pleasure And Pain

There is pleasure in imagination

And pangs of conscience in the entity

And acrid mode of being in existence

And contingency in reality

To live beyond where the mortal’s dwell

And to imagine life heartedly being the immortal

Could never thy life foil you

To reawaken before all.
