A Brief Line
Oceans of Emotions
Some people who are at first strangers
Enter the chambers of the soul and spirit
To create a spark
In the scattered ashes
One reaches out only to find a void
With nothingness visible
To hold onto, yet
They make known their presence
This is the
Hidden Connection
Of The Unseen Oceans of Emotions
Unseen Chambers of life
felt only
unknown features of strife
welt only
slit by experts of knife
Ah life, thou came and grew
lived only
sacred duty of wife
birth only
all divine all mystery
One Known Truth
One Power Only
How to say that
a calm vision flashes again and again
How to convey, solemn serenity
descends to ease the pain
How to express that the heart
beats in memories enchained
How to convince that a
peaceful presence remains
How to relate the touch
felt so deep in the domains
How to connect the eternal loss
that good health claims ?
Let me just believe then
the rose has a sharp thorn
life’s safe lodging is but torn
where once life itself was born
the sweet scent is a refrain
there is always a personal loss
where there was once a sacred gain
Dearest Mother, I saw You…
Exhausted in surgery, half dead
unthinking sleeping mind
surrendering to other hands eyes
and knives, busy on my clayey
lodgings, removing what lay
inside, a life, to give lives unseen
unknown, obeying the divine
Creator, creating motherhood
My eyes only saw eyes,
reflecting sympathy concern care
Chosen by The Supreme to help me
live, a little more, someone needs
my share of love, a little more, a duty
for me is still to be done, and I have
to be with one who stands beside
a smile a gloved hand a voice soft
a heart learning for years, how to cure
now ready for sure more friends than
real friends ashore,
Why I keep forgetting the face?
I see the vision the presence the grace
Mother, its you I see, I feel in her, she
touched cleaned cut and stitched
came again and again and again
when I was stiff n senseless in pain
I felt a hand,and heard a voice
twenty minutes more
a voice…calm, a look angel like…
fear left me, then there was peace,
I felt a hand on my forehead
Yes, yes, Mother was there…
All the time, with love and prayer.
I wish I could be that special book
in which I could place my treasure
like the scented rose close forever
never to wither or be dry but
All I am able to do is cry
You were The Angel-You are…
who checked me with care when
I was in pain you checked me again
and again, with a calm serene smile
in you I found peace never felt for quite
a while-I wish I could be the book
and place the angel rose and each day
say for you a prayer return your smile
and look at My Angel on the page and
Up in the sky
I pray…
When People are like Angels
Lying cross like on the operation table
I could not move, I was only able, to
see the eyes, calm quiet concerned
the face behind the mask
I try to remember, but I forget-
My body half lifeless numb and stiff
I could not speak I was only able to
Breathe, frightening I heard my
heart beat and someone's faint
talking, some
words audible some mumbled,
I try to understand but fail
Eyes meet the eyes as I feel a quick cut
a part of me slit, incised painless
speechless I remained, while some
talking I heard; my arms now stiff
I prayed for strength dropping into
sleepy numbness, I surrendered
two unknown human beings, are
they angels from above, hidden behind
gowns and masks, I know not what they
do or how, but they are briskly active
I shake, I hear a voice'15 more minutes'
I meet the eyes calm and serene, confident
I feel secure, 'its done'I hear talking
twenty minutes' ' suction' stitch, suction stitch'
Then I do not see the eyes anymore, nor
the angel figure, legs heavy start tingling
shivering takes over, I tremble with cold
more talking I hear,'
blankets'please, another one
''I am feeling cold' an electric heater
throws welcome heat on my face
I cross my arms as if in embrace
'The shivering stops -I feel empty
more eyes I see, more talking I hear-
why this room is so warm? hustle bustle around
my bed is pushed rolled turned
I feel nausea- I see personnel in green
am I smiling? yes, for others, for I am brave
inside, my heart cries, I wish to keep looking
in those eyes so calm, so serene so loving
giving hope of life and saying 'all will be ok'
I felt the strength My Father always gave me
It’s even more than roses express
the colour of the heart's flow
felt in veins which do not show
heard in sounds of the beat slow-
I myself do not know
when the stem came in to grow
perhaps the seed already there
needed the green to begin the care-
and now my restless soul seeks
the roots of the rose that keeps
me awake pierced in tears
thorns touch creating fears –
I reach for the sweet aroma
breathe deep to inhale incense
I reach out to feel the petals
I'm held by forbidden clutches
why do we connect with souls
who merge with the spirit
bring peace and calm, then
go after applying the balm
I gather the roses again
in vain though to ease the pain,
I seek the saving soul all over
Now, I hope to meet, in pure rain.
I look for words
I gather them
I write them down
…..there is emptiness
no sound no readers
…..nor listeners
I seek the eyes
that may fall on my words
but…
I seek the hands that may hold
the Book….but
The people are silent
slow, engrossed
mind and hands blank and cold….
where do I stand
weak’ with my words
trying to be bold
‘but…Be Quiet, I am told’
eyes do not meet and
I am shown the door”
Promises on paper
traced forever once written cannot be erased But silently staring nowhere quietly unmoving yet sharing words that remain in the air and everywhere, for I hear them in happiness and in pain and see them again and again telling me the time and love with which you wrote each line while I waited to hold the precious paper-but then…
your letter reminds me that
things were different in life
full of struggle and strife
for you the aims were high no less
than Royalty or like a Princess,
Your letter reminds me
Of age and infirmity
Of limits bonds and fraternity
But you were full of rigidity
and fear which always is baseless,
you thought life would become a mess,
your letter reminds me that
friends should be of the same age
otherwise life becomes a cage
and problems increase, at times
leading to disease and pain,
your letter reminds me that I
made a mistake and did not take
time to judge and break
Of walls doors locks and security,
and last of all
your letter reminds me that you
do care in the world
for those who wish you well
But if I am one of them
Your letter does not tell,
now since long we have not written
time and duty has kept this hidden
how paper and pen can keep together
the love and spirit between friends
and keep the link at both the ends.
The Last Glance was time itself
as all have to go -they go
and the body is taken, lifted and lowered
then scriptures spoken and flowers showered
before that not a morsel can be eaten
as food is no longer needed by the taken,
all eyes are on the body so laid
fear in the eyes, tears on the face
this is a war bloody and barbarian
young old brave and bold,
all are shaken-I too stepped in
the cold room as close as I could and
shivered and sweated as I stood-
Silence so Holy above You I felt Eternal sleep
to the world around-
Freedom from the clayey cage
To a Higher Call and Higher Ground
The Chosen the Special the Best-
Heaven Light enclosed as you slept
Dressed in white complete shroud
You were under Heaven’s cloud In peace -may your soul always rest, amen-
