As They Lie Beneath the Starry Sky

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

 Words I have written,
The reverences proclaimed,
All appear barren,
Worthless and in vain;

 Magic searched my words,
Or my expressions yearned enchantment,
The dilemma is no more,
The divination discovers the core;

 I wonder whether I digressed,
Or the magic drifted from its course,
Poetry personifies me,
Under the wizard's spell I shall stay;

 The joy knows no bounds,
The magnetism or an illusion,
A power or fascination,
This allure is so profound;

 A connection of the souls,
In quest for each other,
Words and the spell,
Are finally together;

 The pursual ends,
Incertitude resolves,
Let the two laugh, forgetting the sighs,
As they lie beneath the starry sky.

The Path Of Struggles

 © Shilpa Sandesh, Tramping through the woods that be, The path I stride on, Diverges ahead of me; A loud voice I hear, The first lane proclaimed, 'Come, saunter forth, I am the trail, Of happiness you dream' Louder promulgates the other byway, 'Come, tread onto me, I am the course of struggles, that He has set, in your destiny' I stood aghast, In a dilemma that be, Whether to relinquish And quit, Or to traipse on, And take my chances! My heart yelled, For a facile gaiety, Mind howled, 'Exultation lacking struggle, without any scrambles or stumbles, is ephemeral, it's cursory and fugitive' And so there was, no more predicament, No more muddling, And I chose to walk, On the path of struggles!

When the Stars Drizzle

The stars drizzled last night, Moments before the approaching twilight, And I saw a magnific aura, sheathe me with a divine euphoria, That traverse in the amaranthine galaxies, felt like a dip in sparkling sapphires and rubies, And then came a distant soothing whisper, like the sound of a far impending river, My hand lifted and was held by someone's, But my eyes could see none, Only when my soul was caressed by the chants, I discerned that it was my rumination's grant, It was you, my beloved seer, In the night's mist, I felt you near, Farther from all that is temporal and worldly, Deep into the spiritual and otherworldly.....................

© Shilpa Sandesh In the stillness Of the summer noon, A shrill startles these ears. The pain pierces through, Like a sword; The eyes are blurred with tears, Can the cry of a heart, Be so loud, she wonders! Then from nowhere,comes suddenly A faint ray of hope, Crystal clear droplets of happiness, And she opens her arms, To embrace the joy of love. She feels alive and smiles. And then comes a blow, The blow of reality, That scatters everything; She gathers the broken pieces, And puts them together, Only to find, Memories full of cracks, What's lost can never be regained, And pain becomes her new joys.
