Fill me up

Oh Beloved, pour Your love in my heart up till the brim,
Intoxicate me with Your gaze and free me from within.
Breathe Your life in me until I lose my 'self',
Awake me from Slumber and let me realize my 'Self'.
♥ AMBKJ ♥

Akashganga (The Milky Way galaxy)

She moves with cataclysmic charm,

She quips but means no harm.

She shimmers for she is decked up like a newlywed,

She is Akaashganga- the lover and the beloved.

Long for her and find her slip away,

Shun away and see her as a part of you.

She is the whim that keeps you at bay,

She exists in non-existence for she is mere reflection of you.

She is the name to the names,

She is the hell and she is the heavens.

She is the desire to be desire less,

She is the eternal charm, spry and ageless.

She is for the day as she is for the night,

Seek, you find her for she is the pivot of your sight.

She has been there and will always be,

For she is the Maya that sustains reality!

-Rahul Atrishi

Nothing...

No more wish to ask for,
No more thoughts to ponder.
No more dreams to chase,
No nothing, for my Nirvana is ablaze!

Suspended at the center of the void,
I neither know this world nor the other.
I exist in non-existence brother,
For I am the non-absolute in the absolute state!

I try to reason out what state I am in,
And it is not that I can't but isn't it all a sham?
I look for something that does not really exist,
For it is Nothing but a reflection of Everything.

In this endless pursuit of the comprehensible,
In the endless yearning for all that is reversible,
In this endless strive for Nothing in Reality,
I lose myself to find Everything that is Reality!

Confused but not lost,
If I were 'Lost', I would have been 'Found'!

-Rahul Atrishi

Glimpses in the skies

I see glimpses of You whirling in the skies,

Your dance is ethereal, You are absolutely free.

You move in circles tossing and turning life in me,

You are the Eternal Beloved, maker of destinies.

I stand mesmerized and I gaze at You for long,

 I stand there still, let the time slip by.

I care for nothing, and I am unafraid to die.

All I wish to be with You, for that’s where I belong.

I try to reach out for You but in vain,

All I get is nothing, the distances remain.

And I do not falter to try again and many a times more,

For, that is what I wish to do, I now know for sure.

It’s been quite a while and You haven’t let me in,

I have been waiting for You since the time, time has been.

And I know now only the chosen one will be let in,

Yet, I stand beyond the gates, begging You to let me in.

They laugh at me and scoff at me,

They say, my wish will never come true.

For, there are many and your chances are few,

I care not for what my future holds, for all I wish is You.

Bullets and flying crows

Bullets and flying crows,

The city sighs and the darkness grows.

Dazed faces and distraught races,

Caught in this morbid extravaganza, the God oversees!

Where did it all start and when will it end,

Nothing seems to be real and no path left to mend.

I hear the voices and feel the pain,

But I have to move on in this dark lane!

A sudden rush of blood and all gone,

A self load rifle and blood stains on the ground..

Now all I lark is for forgiveness,

Its not me but my ILLNESS!

Bullets and flying crows,

The city sighs and the darkness grows.

Dazed faces and distraught races,

Caught in this morbid extravaganza, the God oversees!

At this moment, I see what I have left behind,

Wish I had listened to my heart and not my mind.

A smile on faces and hope in eyes,

Would have had left the kids with and not a puzzle and two dice!

*This poem is dedicated to us. If we can change ourselves, we can bring the change we've always wished for...

LOVE

Like a mountain brook that joyously flows,

Like the wind that dances with the trees,

Like the sweet hums of the busy honey bees,

Like the flight of a bird to distant overseas.

Like the thumping heart and missing of a beat,

Like the touch of a loved one, the smile from a stranger

Like the gentleness of helping hand in times of need,

Love is all around us- in depths of far and realms of near.

So, care not for creed, and care not for color,

Care not for the green, care not for honor.

For when we leave the bodily abode, we become just as one as we have always been

For we are the children of One-the eternal supreme!

So let us join hands together and wipe our tears,

Let us realize our follies and erase all our fears.

Let us bring down walls of doubt and resentment.

Let us not hold on anymore, let us give LOVE a vent.

-Rahul Atrishi

*My poem is dedicated to everyone.

How can I?

How can I not think of You,
How can I not long for You.
It is you who makes my day, each day,
It is you who comforts me in endless ways.


I know you have been hiding from me for quite a while,
And you have been giving me just glimpses for all this while.
I know you are playing ‘hard to get’ more and more….
I don’t care, for I still long for you like before…


I dance to your tunes all day long,
The hours seem nothing, no season to belong.
I can’t help but think of you all night and day
Wish you would be mine, someday.


How can I not think of You,
How can I not long for You.
It is you who makes my day, each day,
It is you who comforts me in endless ways.


I know nothing if this dream would ever come true,
If someday, you would be mine, like the way I do.
But all I care for is my love for you,
That keeps me alive thinking of you!
-Rahul Atrishi
