MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘At leisure’

so you say you don’t care
the answer I hear a lot
what about your sanity
when I lose the plot

you say you don’t care
then ask me what’s the matter
when I throw a tantrum
plates and glass then shatter

when I ask you questions
you said it many times
our persistent beliefs
are like stingy crimes

then open your mind
into the world of caring
let’s live happily ever after
minds and hearts sharing

now wait no longer for the day
that brings us that much pleasure
give a damn or give a f-ck
just pick one at your leisure

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Mirrors of Sand’

swirling tornado
nimble and savage
robust and bold

raw energy
fierce motion
tireless

out and in its core
mirrors of sand
liquid imagery

vanity on the move
fantasy of security
just a mirage

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Early’

roosters crowing
orange marigolds
coconut fiber baskets
gods daily offerings

smell of smoke
burning waste
sleepless joggers
broken footpath

the sea reaches out
cocoons the swimmers
sun warms the body
another glorious day

on this island
paradise
on earth

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Be Who You Are’

mediocre life
from job to bed
selling your soul
raise the bar

load a camel
cross a desert
refuge in an oasis
who needs a car

fragrant spices
lamps and oils
awaiting at an
exotic bazaar

coins and trinkets
for a rainy day
collected and stored
in a glass jar

find your guru
under the bodhi tree
who do you think
you are

search on google
still not sure
sit in meditation
go beyond far

a chair or a bed
get inside your head
undergo an operation
without any scar

kundalini rising
if you have no clue
do your research
it’s rather bizarre

convincing as real
conscious energy
is what we are
god and a superstar
