mind meanderings: Dying while Living

Dying while Living

When I was born
I was complete.

I could cry and
Yet be selflessly selfish!

Today..

the Quest
overtakes me

nor do worldly riches
grace me

My cravings
has a mind

To think, To feel and To cry
I wouldn't shy

No wonder..

Everyday I die
..bit by bit

Yet,today,I am feeling
very fulfilled!!

Wonder why?

Maya My Love

how does it feel
when you are
about to walk
into a dream - your dream?

does tomorrow ever
meet today -

the day’s ashes
Labour to deliver
Xotini’s child
every day - ?

An illicit life I live
forbidden pleasures I seek
with Maya

as Chayaa pursues Maya
a virtual touch
is all that it takes
to step out...

But do we?!

Xotini : Co-wife / Step Mother in Assamese
Maya : An Illusion and by extension the elusive morrow
Chayya : Shadow..the shadow of the day!!

Paphiopedilum Dreams

Paphiopedilum Dreams
I espy
on the mosaic forest floors...

Forbidden desires
I spirit
to the secret grotto

softly i skid
on the silken turf
...tearful
but i still fancy
paphiopedilum dreams?
