‘Blissful acceptance / Staring at the moon / with an empty stomach.’
MOKSHA
Fall leaves fume within me
As if, white winter embraces flaming autumn
Beating heart pumps multiple
emotional hues
I am letting go
Of
Seasonal silence
Strange nostalgia of flowering cycle
Eagerness to return
Away from mundane wants
As a purple spring bud
Near a blue mountain
And leave again with the dancing snowflakes
On a pink moon night
Leaving behind nothing
but the fragrance
of loving kindness.

REFLECTION
Poetry a turmoil
born out of nothingness
creepily moves, like an alert serpent
trying to catch a prey.
Dark poems
from volcano of deep silence...
poisonous pen erupting emotions
submerged in inner conflict and pain.
Midnight mania insomnia
tears of depression separation
Lust, desire, nature.
Liberating aura
Under full grown cherry blossom
Blissful acceptance
Staring at the moon
with an empty stomach.
