Let me hold on to you
With a feather touch, You tickle all of us as your babies. Your deep blue eyes dance, winks in ecstasy, Your eyelashes spread wide in anxiety, Seeing, a peacock feather flutters With a soft lullaby, you make us sleep, Blooming, a subtle soft smile on our lips, In the petals of your heart, we sleep, Dissolving ourselves on a bed of dreams. Letting Calmness slowly sift in By hugging and kissing, you bestow, A piece of your love in every soul Hours pass in seconds before my turn I can feel your hugs as fresh as ever A petal smearing…

My wish
Just watching you, enthralls me for ever. Just by one look, you, charge my spirit full. Entire world reflects, behind retina of time. I try deciphering images, but none lasts long in vision. All I have seen was unreal, except your pure smile. I delve deep into your dream, rolling a role; you designed. Awe struck I observe you, close to my heart. There I see you so pure, filling my soul full. I do not have words, enough, to describe your pure sweetness. I pray to possess you as obsession, Just to be filled by your grace! When my…

Epic of Life
From the depth of silence, exotic innocence blooms. Incense of love burns incessant. Mild sweet fragrance sweeps through- Infinite primeval divine sound, echoes on every atom. Each bubble of thoughts disappear Aloof and alone in the madding crowd Mind settles down. Moulds into meditation, Senses beat a retreat. From the abode of Ant-heap, A POEM takes birth. verses of enlightenment! Vision of truth! Saga of life! Ram is born! Epic of life incarnate. – Satheesan Rangorath

Her Blessing
Her Blessing I have hung her image in my heart And from my mouth, her name sung She held me when I was torn apart And guided me since my start In a meadow of light she first became Her heart connected to those days When man walked with gods the same So she embraced the emanating rays And decided to embark in her place To build the golden gate of grace Blessed is the day she was born Unknown to her father an angel was known While she was miraculously entering our would Angels sung her praises with words…

to remain silent freed from thoughts
Ma, opening the vast pages Well written by the past masters, I sought the knowledge ‘Tis only a reflection of the knowledgeable. The true knowledge lay hidden That could ever be penned down, For the word, yet remained A hindrance to know the unknown. Ma, thoughts of the intellectuals Who well claimed to be the masters, I sought the knowledge ‘Tis only a reflection of the ignorant. For the thoughts are formidable hindrances An’ the intellect, the enemy at its best, That could possibly know the truth It remained a mockery, an empty basket of jokes. Ma, now blessed seek…

The blind enlightened
Born with the cries an’ eyes closed Feedin’ on mother’s breast helpless An infant was born to the Brahma’s laws ill-defined Shattered by the forces of nature, merciless The blind-one knew not, there was no one to call his own Led by the laws of Karma to be thrashed, unfaltering Between the banks of pleasures an’ pains unknown Looking high unto heavens, a seeker was born, faltering The Guru, visible, who is filled with smiles an’ blessedness Held the one who is blind, caressing with love an’ gentleness Said, my child, there is the Light an’ Love already within uncovered…

The Good in Goodbye
Staring far into the horizon I stood Watching the sun retire for the day, Adieu! The word hath always been heartrending, Truly! A farewell isn’t painful unless You are never going to say hello again! What is so Good about GoodBye I wonder? Every death like farewell and birth like reunion I ponder But the day has to go for the night to come How else will you applaud the creator For the marvel of the moon, the stars and the planets so clear? Mother says Death and Birth are the same, For they are just experiences like any other,…

Learn the lessons Oh Man
Nature, man’s best teacher and guide, Works incessantly on each of us, To teach us the eternal laws of truth The laws of Dharma we must abide Realise this and be vigilant, Through alertness you will be transformed For nature continues to teach you Until you have learnt the lesson meant for you It is beneficial O imprudent one! To break the shackles of ego and pride, And to succumb to His will, His resolution, For that shall be done, how long will u hide? Understand , there is no chaos in this universe, Every motion, predetermined, every orbit in…

Mother earth and lil I
Li’l you and li’l I Floating in the sky Of the vast universe With its empty space. Bless us O! tiny mother earth We, thy helpless toys seeking light Who revolve along with you Round the Sun tied to his might Li’l you and li’l I Floating in the sky Of the vast universe With its empty space. Bless us O! tiny mother earth To reach the holy feet of the supreme mother effulgent Who bestows unconditional love, showing the way to the path of light To live in love and harmony with all thy earthly creation. – sridhar
