Like an unknown turn
With a poker face
And traps and temptation
In its masquerade
When there is no telling
When the sun shall show
Ever heard the calling
Of the purple sky above?

Trapped
Like a clinched fist
On a barbed wire
My heart seethes
Wrapped in a fire
I clean the stains
Of the spilled shame
I sweep the pieces
Off the life’s frame
I scavenge for choices
I hunt for the meaning
I seek for the vices
To keep me dreaming
With my hands tied
My silent screams soar
Trapped in a future
I wasn’t meant for
Prakriti
All that which lies deep within
The mud blocks, the metal bars
The curves of tinted glass
The specks of dust
Beyond the bonds of the Earth
That scattered onto us
The paint of this light
All of it was cast very far
In the furnace of some star
Why not we wonder then
Where does lie the die for
The fears and the folly
The joys and the ecstasy
The sorrows and the melancholy
The courage and the bravery
The anger and the agony
The rare silence, the constant din
All that which lies deep within
Samkhya is the philosophical basis for Yoga. It reveals a dualism between Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (nature). Samkhya philosophy implies the human experience as a state in which Purusha is bonded with Prakriti. When untouched, Prakriti remains inactive; upon contact with Purusha, it starts the cosmic evolution, leading to life and intellect, and ultimately liberation (end of bondage of Purusha to Prakriti). There is no good word to describe the essence of Prakriti in English. Whereas Purusha signifies the observer, Prakṛti includes all the cognitive, moral, psychological, emotional, sensorial and physical aspects of reality.
Being human
With muddled memories
And biased thoughts
From tilted perspectives
And choices flawed
We spend a lifetime
Blinded with distortions
But blame the machine
Trained on our ways
Of erring in decisions
Calling it hallucinations!
Dare
When you cast a bullet
Can you also emboss on it
With certainty the faith
You wish to desecrate?
At the soil drenched in blood
Can you stare long enough
To quote the side from where
Came the dreams that bled?
When you hear cries of a mate
Can you dare find the words
To solace the broken soul
Devoid of revenge and hate?
Starve
I do not know
How to
Get used to
Being without you
I do not know
Where do
I move to
Search for you
I do not know
When shall
The morning befall
When I find you
I do not know
Why do
I let my heart
Starve for you
Wake Up
Wake up
‘Coz while you have been living
you have not been feeling,
you have been existing
With so little sensing
Wake up
Not to the sounds that you hear
but to the sobs that you don’t
to who you really are
to what you bear
Wake up
‘Coz what gains are any good for
Showing yourself to the world
When those close struggle
to see you unfurled.
Wake up. Breathe. Feel. Love.
Figureless
It isn’t made in stone
but it ain’t fragile
It resides in every bone
but it ain’t sterile
It dissolves my duality
Of desires and sacrifice
I carve myself a reality
Worthy of my own choice
It needs no nectar nor necklace
‘Coz power needs no drape
My faith is figureless
‘Coz belief needs no shape
Free
I have rode as far as I could
I have ran more than I stood
I have worn more than I should
I crave for no feeling nor food, but
A sleep where tread no dream would
On the fertile Earth I lay bare,
With just a few breaths to spare,
To the heavens I let my eyes stare,
The clouds show an intent to share,
With showers I plead them to pare.
Like the ease with which I see
the water slip all over me
I cede my flesh with glee
From all the debt and debris
Tonight I set myself free.
Who you are
Are you the forceful gust
that shoves away the clouds
to lighten up the dark?
Or are you the cheerful breeze
that fills the shade
on a day schorching and stark?
Are you the powerful wave
fighting the storm
refusing to take a knee?
Or are you the water
that whispers by the beach
to relieve the weary?
May be, you are the lost traveler
who yearns for the right road
Or may be, you are the admirer
of what lies amongst new stores
To seek the answers I resist
to venture far,
Since your biggest strength is
you always are, who you are.
