With peace and love
I kneel a lamb
possessed by the wolf
within my own darkness howls
A son of the Father
Bowing the head to his mercy
Grace in shame a sinner weeps
who bit from the forbidden fruit
Knowing it's agony
in the garden of life's sufferings
Seeking his forgiveness
Oh Most Holy Lord
Always you dwell God most high
Almighty inside the heart
Light of Our Creator
there is no good inside
Dark nights of a soul's pain
tears of remembrance
As you sit with me alone
I grow stronger in faith

Creep the vines crawling the guarded walls
Peek the rays drawing into my restless mind
Breaking dawn burning off the morning mist
Submitting no longer to a life of trepidation
Living out daily dreams and forgotten fantasies,
letting go of pains and endless sufferings,
releasing thoughts and feelings
trying to make things seem
right in a world of all wrong
Generous soul pour out your torments
through my veins bring to light
in the freshness of a new day
a garden of bountiful harvests
in an untapped sea of love
where the butterflies come to play

If all we did in our lifetime
Came from a place of love and kind intent
The world would be a better place
Not perfect…though many sufferings it would prevent
It is such a shame it is not that simple
Though l so wish it to be true
We could live in gentler harmony
All humans, all countries me and you!

Blessed be your name
of the most high God
The creator of all things
Elohim
You are the Great I AM
As God you became
a man
You came to set the
captives free
Without you, my life
would cease to be
Blessed be your name
The name above all
names
There is none like you
in all the universe
You took on all our
pain sufferings.
your grace and mercy
overflows
Your love is eternal
There's no limit
on your love
You knew me and
loved me before I
was in my mother's
womb
Blessed be your
name

As red as love
Since additives have been used in feelings
Globalization has changed a lot of things
Hate is green, love is red and tolerance has bled
A day for love, another for water, and a third for bread
Days are couloured but the world is black.
Stars are bright but, skies are dark.
Torture and sufferings are endless.
Diseases, wars, hunger and stress.
Our kids dream of joy and happiness
Too much talk but, little action is meaningless.

dedication,
Good Bye Dear
You looked so frail and tired,
you were drawing nearer to God,
And drifting away from me,
I knew you were beyond worldly help
Awaiting help from above .
He helped you by taking you in his arms,
And relieved your pains and sufferings,
With tearful eyes I watched you go,
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.
Even though a loved one is gone,
Cherished memories stay with you,
where ever you go they go with you,
And those you love remain with you,
As long as you live.

Besides love and happiness
The world is full of sufferings
Political crisis, economic crisis, epidemics and poverty
Slanders, violations, crimes and trafficking
Politicking, hegemony, disputes and wars
A never ending story of sufferings
Hardly any solutions
But becomes great inspiration for
Story tellers
Art pieces
Poems writers
And
An old grandmother's story for the next generation
Of course an unerasable scandal

children, growing up, innocence, , Lullaby,
Innocence walks among the tall grasses
Field of sight clear wearing purity glasses
Guile has not entered in
nor pain of loss
the spirit within
The eyes see “go” opening in waving green
Never a red “stop” light has innocence seen
Cautions yellow,
gives way to senses mellow
Feeling love for all human dwellers
Strife has not, yet, entered in
nor the sufferings of life
that living spins
Rocked to sleep with a lullaby sweet
Parents praying for wisdom
when real choices you greet
Innocence walks in open eyed wonder
Not a trial, yet, for the mind to ponder

Above the clouds,
Angles are singing,
They looked so proud,
The lights are blinding,
Chrystal white they are wearing,
Wings are beautiful and it glistening,
Singing Hallelujah to the great Lord,
HE is at the center, so adored,
Heaven is on earth,
No need for us to search,
They are here to renew our faith,
All love in our hearts, no more hate.
O Lord, we glorify your name,
Till the end our love for you will remain,
Heal our souls, heal our sufferings,
O God, give us a new beginning.

Song in the wind
Gentle reminder:
Rain through bamboo trees
Chirpy delight
Instant enlightenment;
Heavy heart uplifted
Postcard from somewhere
Far far away:
Greetings from long journeys
Old photograph
Faded with old times;
Ancient memories linger
My mother's gaze
My father looks;
Picture of the dead
Pain taunts
Sufferings preside;
Soon liberation sublime
Hospital visit
A sick relative warded;
Healing family support
Two yellow birds
Canaries on wood ledge;
Sing of fond love

philosophy,
In searching for her he’s found a philosophy
to balance his soul in the presence of Sophy.
The scales of existence measures his sufferings,
from his shoulders, she’s taken off the weight of desires.
His spirit is soaring above the ordinariness.
The lightness rules over the human hopelessness.
Penetrating into the Universe is the man.
The truth is a languor for him till the end.

Always, I will find no end
Remember with you, there's no room for loneliness
May I hold you tight
As it is the last?
Give me your love,
Give me your trust
Existence of sufferings,
Days of sorrows
Days of turmoil
Or in whatever wave or storm
Now and forever, you'll never be alone!

When the eclipse of Sun darkens entire universe,
The drought-infested soil waits for tender shower.
Love comes, delivers it from that dreadful curse,
Pouring its enlightening shower from holy bower.
All pains, struggles, sufferings seem non-existent
When there is love, when there is love’s presence.
After eclipse, sun appears brighter, clear, content.
After stings of Dark, Love brings a luminescence.
The lamp of love enlightens interiors of the heart
Where vermin try to eat up the veins of morality.
Love renews the heart by clearing the fallen dirt,
Awakens drowsy world with trumpet of equality.

love
When a man can see the little girl in a woman,
and the woman can see the little boy in a man,
with their hidden sufferings and joy, if they each know to
comfort the others suffering and bring out their joy,
then a love of great beauty is at hand.

lovelife, life,
It is from Love
I was born to live and have a lovely life.
It is with Love
I struggle against all sufferings in the world
and keep trying to make everyone my nice gifts;
Smile and friendship.
It is in Love
I live a life of ease
although I will have to roam around the earth alone.
And it is for Love
If my time to die comes up someday
I will lose my life happily.
For the life of me: Live and let me love
Being in love, never say die
because I am the true son of the loving life.

In uncertain times, I start to pray
Gathering my cries, I start to pray
When my friends show their love.
Looking towards the skies, I start to pray
Is it ever a surprise that before
I start crafting lies, I start to pray
A cry proclaims, that his promises are true
If ever he tries, I start to pray
A lender knocks my door every dawn
Covering my eyes, I start to pray
The renumeration of your love is beyond me
When you quote the price, I start to pray.
I count my sufferings whenever you come
But when the lamp dies, I start to pray
Our affairs are predestined, 'Mumtaz'
Without thinking twice, I start to pray

When the hands cease creating ...
pottery, paintings, portraits, machines
Or gathering seeds, nursing forests ...

When the head ceases pondering philosophy ...
How to ameliorate, annihilate sufferings
Or simply how to be kind, reduce crime ...
III
When the heart stops caring enough to endure ...
things that must be endured (Gandhi did, and Ramabai)
Or a Dr. King, simply to love, give, forgive ...

You shine an’ shine in the sky,
An’ shine apart from the stars,
You look very beautiful,
Oh! You beautiful moon
You are a gray disc,
And fairy tales show a rabbit on you,
Your surface is filled with Maria,
Oh! You beautiful moon
Sometimes you become small crescent,
An’ sometimes large gibbous,
Sometimes you become new moon,
Oh! You Beautiful moon
Sometimes the black clouds hide you,
Sometimes the thunder makes you afraid,
But still you face all the sufferings,
Oh! You beautiful moon
You reflect the sun’s light,
An’ the sun doesn’t come in night,
An’ you’re ready to helps us in night,
Oh! You beautiful moon

love
When I looked into your eyes
And watched that tears
Came falling down like a storm,
I felt helpless like a worm.
I wanted to show you that my love
Would never hurt you like this.
I wanted to tell you that life
Was not all about pain and sufferings.
There was something in your eyes.
I couldn't tell what it was
But you have suffered enough.
I could see why you were tough.
Your eyes were eyes by many
Who have been hurt for sometime.
I wish you were carried away
By my expression of love.
I'd do anything to protect you.
I would always be there for you
Every single day
To love you endlessly.

A talk therapist, a friend, an amateur poet and an introvert
In love with a smile, eyes and languages
With the ideas for images, photography and calligraphy
To palliate the feelings of low, listless and lonely
Aggravated by the fears of walls, sufferings and inhumanity
That makes me like to travel, speak and love
Aided by being a resident of India, the land of six seasons

Listen, so you hear
the whisper of the peer
Listen, so you hear
me telling of my fears
Listen, do you hear
the cry of a bawling child
Listen, do you hear
the caresses of the stripling
Can you hear?
Are we truly deaf?
perhaps
the populace
become stone deaf
to others' sufferings
the marionettes
sway in the breeze
can you see?
The flowers bloom alluringly with a heavy incense
that hangs in the air
can you smell?
Savor all the rest
Cast out the rest
yet, miss out on the rest.
Life
Death
Hate
Love
Do we feel?

friendship, jealousy, success, trust,
Your sufferings, all alone
To your rescue, a loan
Instantly, a seed you've sown
Finally, you smell nice in your cologne
and now, they say him we own
Their hats, each takes off for you
Like a gullible ewe,
Thou attend to the needs of not just a few
In the mad rush to help all in queue,
Their jealous minds have you no cue
A pit, they dug and covered with a mat
In the night, they dash out like a bat
and in the morning discuss where you sat
In the midst of cats, an innocent rat
Playing not outside its flat
Certainly, the one you love you know
The one who loves you? No!
Sometimes the one you love, a foe
In your creator, you glow
and reap what you sow

sad, autumn,
Love unreciprocated and sufferings untold,
From eons undated and ages old.
Now, fresh menacing storms lash against me,
The all-bearing leaf of the autumn tree.
And now, hope is drained and faith is low.
And at the pinnacle of pain, I finally let go.
And smiling one last time at my cruel world,
Into the winds, myself, I throw.
My body is blue and my soul is lost.
I merge,
I merge and become one with the frost.
