Love Is Not A Greeting Card

The love story of Lord Rama and Sita is timeless and Divine. A love for all seasons.

What would I say to Sita if I were Lord Rama?

Oh Sita, behold the resplendent full moon that hides when you walk by
For it cannot match your effulgent light that is a beacon in space

Oh Sita, the flowers of the forest long to be fragrant like you
For you are the sweet scent of purity and joy

Oh Sita, the birds of the world listen intently when you speak
For your words are the melodious sound of the Universe

Oh Sita, without you this Rama is like a boat lost at sea
For you are balm that soothes the turbulent waters of my mind

Oh Sita, without you this Rama is bereft of life itself
For you are the essence of my soul and the breath of my cosmos


What would I say to Lord Rama if I were Sita?

Oh Rama, the glorious sun is dark like the night
For it cannot match the brilliance of your iridescence

Oh Rama, even the mighty thunderous waterfall cannot match your strength
For it is your gentleness that conquers the most formidable foe

Oh Rama, the animals of the forest are mesmerised by your gracefulness
And the lion bows at your feet not from fear but reverence

Oh Rama, without you this Sita has no existence
For you are the life force within me

Oh Rama, this Sita thanks the Lord of all Universes
For each moment in time, for the honour of your love, for the bliss that is you.

The Choices We Make

My 50th poem!

I wrote a poem for a guest post I did for Carol Graham's blog Battered Hope early this month. Thought I would share it here as well.

I wrote this poem on the bus on the way to work. Observing people on the bus and outside on the streets was the inspiration for this poem.

We reach our destinations

In our own time and way

Many stops at many stations

Sometimes we go, sometimes we stay

Many points of destiny

Some choices we can make

Don't give it too much scrutiny

There's always give and take

All things in life must balance

No constant joy or sorrow

Most things are not a game of chance

In His plan we trust and follow.

In wanderings in cosmic fields

I came upon an Earth

A serendipitous moment 

A promise of great mirth

In planetary lokas

A place that seemed like heaven

A place where Gods dreamed to walk

In that group of seven

How blessed am I to be here

Such beauty wild and rare

Upon the Earth I'll come again

To show some love and care

~x~

Lokas - Planetary systems in Vedic cosmology, The belief is that there are 14 lokas 7 upper and 7 lower. Earth resides within the Bhu-loka mandala which is the 7th of the 7 upper planetary systems where the first is highest and 7th is lowest.


My word for 2015 is Serendipity.

And the year has already begun Serendipitously as a featured poet on Poet's United - Thank you Sherry. And as a guest blogger on Carol Graham's blog Battered Hope that also has a poem inspired by my journey on the bus. Thank you Carol.

The word came to me as I walked around my garden on New Year's day and found these pretty pink flowers that are supposed to bloom in Spring and not Summer.

The Bliss of You

The word I chose for 2014 was Joy so it's only fitting to end the year with a poem that depicts Joy or the Bliss of God.

Sing that song you sang to me

That intoxicated my heart many millennia ago

Sing that song you sang to me

That made my heart overflow

Play the melody you played to me

That enticed my spirit and bound me close to you

Play the melody you played to me

That sparked a love so true

Dance that dance you danced with me

That exhilarated my soul through time and space

Dance that dance you danced with me

With cosmic swirls and perfect grace

For when you sing and play and dance

The Universe hums in harmony

And souls then sing and play and dance

And peace prevails consciously

For joy is the essence of your creation

And joy is the way to eternal life

For joy is your blessing for all creation

And joy is the way to your side.

The Pebble

image by markuso at http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

The pebble had a strange glow

She watched it for a while

Why only she saw it she didn't know

But it did make her smile

It was her special pebble

Seemed it was for her alone

While her friends played with beads and bauble

She played with her little stone

She washed it very carefully

And offered it fresh flowers

She sweetly sang some melodies

She lovingly gazed at it for hours

It's a matter of how you view

And what you perceive

A stone is just a stone for few

Or God if you so believe
