You Are Love- 1

You are love

That’s why

You brought me

To the existence

Just to enjoy

Loving me

And I so loved

The existence

Because it’s there

Where I can find you

Where we get together

Dissolving into

One another

As one and only being.

You Are Love– 2

You are love

And so often

In my distress,

You surprise me

With a tender breeze

That softly soothes

My complaining skin.

Oh, such a bliss!

And I wish to ask you:

Was it your whisper

Or your kiss?

When I Leave This World Shall I Look Back? - 6

When I leave this world

Shall I look back

To see my body?

It wasn’t perfect

Nor beautiful …

Neither huge nor strong

Nor sacred …

Nor even pure.

Yet, oh!!

How desperately You wished

Your deep warm heartfelt

Dwelling ... in there ...

Would endure!

When I Leave This World Shall I Look Back? - 17

A Potter and His Masterpiece

When I leave this world

Shall I look back,

Trying to remember

A story I’ve lived by?

It’s about a potter heavenly

Who came down

To reconstruct his

Self-broken masterpiece

To live eternally.

It did cost him

A river of blood

That flew so faraway

To pour his immortality

Into the dusky bottomless

Ocean of all mortals’ death.

What a divine romance

Many would reject!!

Yet, we won’t

After we dive deep

Into Your LOVE

That creates a lived-by

Superior reality

Out of a rejected myth.

India’s Wheel Of Existence & Temple Of Athena

(TO MY CREATURES – 3)

I was going to write a poem. But my words got bored. They revolted. They moved. They jumped up and down. They ran away from all circles of meanings, getting unbound … unfolded. Their letters got loose, expanding … stretching on the white horizons of my painting sheet to become long lines, entangled … interwoven by the heat of emotions until they form together shapes, figures and bodies … These are my creatures ...

O my sweet creatures!

You’ve come into being

By my lusting brush

As it’s been caressing

The very skin of

A passionately stretching

Painting board

I can see you

Trying to touch

Those legendary heroes

Carved on

The Temple of Athena’s

Frieze metopes

There, there

In my beloved

Immortal Greece

I can see you

Trying to move

My sacred Eternal India’s

Wheel of Existence

Round and round

Bringing to being

Yourselves and others

That are yet to exist.
