His artwork

Amid the bushes

He paved a path;

A path of wooden planks

On the ground of

Light colored stones

He let his creations flow

Even in tiniest of things

As he painted

This section of his sanctuary

Showing the juxtaposition

Of stones and woods

Midst of nature’s painting

As he so often does with art

Creating collocation of words

I wonder if he knows,

How pure his soul will be

As he pours all he has,

All he is-

In his creations.

A Grain of Thought and A Grain of Love

Is this all?

Just a grain of thought

That makes your mind go round

Giving rationale to your whole dream world

Sweeping you in its enchanting abyss

Swoosh you go in its clutch

Liberating yourself

In its nest

Is this all?

Just a grain of love

That you so wishfully desire

To sway you in its mesmerizing dance

As it excites your inner cores

Freeing your soul’s scuff

And surrender

To love
