thousand
colours beacon
of hope and love
is the key
where I be
if not in your heart

Clarity!
Rest without peace
Deserts, dunes,
oases opportune
dawn bearable,
too hot at noon
walk run, walk run,
repeat and repeat
keep dodging death,
every hidden defeat
boundaries pushed far,
endurance to extreme
walking on the water,
nothing is what it seems
rest is no option,
sleep standing a while
too far still to go,
body and mind’s toil
destination is known,
let courage keep calm
soul will find peace in
redemption sand storm
No substitute
Worth
Tools
Sweat runs, forehead to toenail
Time has stopped in sweltering heat
Chores get accomplished at the speed of snail
All muscles go, all systems fail
How much more do I sacrifice for this pittance!
An arm and a limb, a hit or a cut
Take your given tools, have a go in the rut
Excruciating pain, then you stop abrupt
Thanking your marbles you weren’t born without luck
Sufis and drums
Link above will take you to my youtube channel. Here is another humble effort in mixing music, creating footage and hope that it all works. Certainly a new genre for me and I hope you enjoy listening and watching it as much I do. I am new to this so apologies for the rough edges 🙂
Humanity – the book
The current civilisation of Human species has come a long way in the last five thousand years. The technology is mesmerising, architecture astounding and knowledge is touching nebulae and far flung galaxies. Our values however are perhaps not showing same level of progress. There is continuous war and hunger. Inequality is increasing every moment, pursuit of wealth has made most of us blind from the misery of our brethren living just few moments away from us. Environment is a concern for the tree hugging minority only. Destruction of forests, extinctions of wildlife species and increasing temperatures globally is a commonality not even worthy of daily news anymore. This age of individuality and trying to live life through social media has made our planet more ignorant, less tolerant and a troll infested realm. I hope, wish and pray that some of these terrible trends will reverse in the not so distant future and humanity snaps out of this current craze of abominable behaviour. This short book of poems and images try to highlight my humble observations in an abstract setting.
I will try to spread this message of compassion and equality until the time is upon me. Here is the latest instalment in the form of a book at IBOOks store (free)
Do I belong here
Traps of glittering sand
Hope trapped in
minuscule crystals
translucent image
of what remains
still and will be seen
for teaching a lesson
for generations to come
I was the mason
created quicksand
someone didn’t land
so soft so beautiful
can’t waste such mastery
a sacrifice made
a price was paid
my sweet darling hope
was trapped instead
forever, infinity
no even divinity
could rescue, such
is the genius of its creation
now I roam the earth
mocking with mirth
cursing the birth
of universe and time
unable to cope
such is the effect
everlasting defect
of losing hope
