The Falling Maples- Living Unconditionally- Poetry by S.S

(c) Shilpa Sandesh If at all, There exists that mystic spell, That would make me rise, Transparent, From my forbidden shell, Would you cast it on me? If at all, Prevails the true love's hymn, That would make me surrender, My whole self, In your world, Would you hum it for me? If at all, Dwells a bewitching universe, Farthest from the orb, Of our mortal beings, Would you live it with me?

(c) Shilpa Sandesh And my lips shall pen, The definition of my soul, On thy mortal frame, Bathing your soul, In the allure, Of our impassioned flame.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Missing it's sky, Consciousness so wry, That cloud cried, A thousand tears.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh She is like a droplet, Of the night dew, That stays on the vibrant green leaves, Waiting for that long sought, Parched traveler, Who shall quench his thirst, As he would moisten his lips, By kissing, The divine drop........

c) Shilpa Sandesh Gossamer and gauzy, Sheathed under a permeable cloak, The soul is a loner, In every worldly frame, And so is mine, With a yearning so divine, That the mind goes numb, And the material silhouette, Defies the rules of being alive, As it stops breathing, Rising above all that is visible, All that these substantial eyes can perceive, And the soul exits, Into the newfound orbs, Where it shall wait, With all the patience of the immortal soul, For thy seraphic neuma........ 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Lying amidst, The desert storm, On the Sands burning like fire, And dewy eyes, All that my inner self contemplates, Is you....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Summer noon, The silence blooms, But I still hear your voice, Like the faintest whisper, Of the humming wind, The sky goes dark, As if swallowed the day, And night's here, And my soul, Between the material and divine, Sways, And I once again hear your voice, "My darling dame, I waited here, for a smile of yours, But in the substantial mist, You arrived late, But you are here, So let me come forth, And embrace thy frame, Where resides my heart, And your soul reigns.... " And I am once again left, Speechless....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh A bewitched heart, Ruled by, Thy voodoo spells, The mind becomes numb, And my suspended soul bathes, In your impassioned waves, Like the sea, Enslaving a thousand shells, You have won my soul, You have redefined my existence, I am curious my love, What next comes, from that beautiful mind! 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Colour me in the rainbow hues, As I fall in your widespread arms, Make me your poesy's muse, And pen our love, With your imagination's yarn, I repose here, Clear and undiscovered, So say my beloved, Which colours, would you paint me in? 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh An ocean of countless blessings, A sky adorned with divine thoughts, A garden of blooming smiles, Sown by a wondering mind, Your heart is purer, Than the purest gem, And your soul is the envy, Of the cherubic seraphims, Such is the glory of your being, Be not saddened, By all that is substantial, For you have me, And our love shall overcome, All that life has to bring........ 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Words, Blazing like the desert Sun, Verses, Soothing like the Spring winds, Expressions, Pure like the snow flakes, Imagination, Alive than the living, Such is that poesy, And I wonder, If that pen, wishes to write again....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My most treasured, In an awestruck state, I wonder, Do you by any chance have wings? Or, Do you have a halo over your head? Or, May be that smile that sends shimmer, Lending the world a seraphic glimmer! Singing around my soul, All the glorious Love's hymns, With your spells and incantations, Guarding my pneuma's domain, I know now, You are no Michael, Or Gabriel, Or Lucifer, You are that fallen angel, Who's meant to rise, Holding my hands, in a divine fervor........

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My soul, I feel a thousand needles, Pricking across my frame, Oh, just so you may be confused, I am not lying in a cactus field, While you laugh out to that, Let me savour that sight, Of your lips, widening for that laughter, Your eyes, gleaming, Accompanying that beatific beam, And you snap your fingers at me, "All fine, my beloved? " And in the deepest depths, Of the known and unknown, River of emotions, I speak my soul, with the tiniest smile, " Be mine, For thy voice, Thy smile, Thy eyes, And all those undiscovered miles, Are the roots of my trembling being, Without these roots, I would shatter to pieces, Pieces of a puzzle, That no one, but you, You alone can put together "....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My wondrous heart, Please slow down, I fathom your restlessness for him, And so you are beating, Like a five year old, jumping on a trampoline, I can barely sleep, For a sight of him, Makes you bounce, And so I loose my rarely existing peace, I understand, All you need is your beloved heart, That inside him beats, So let's be the best buddies, Until, Until that sought moment, When you would rule his immortal soul, And mine would be ruled by his heart........ .

(c) Shilpa Sandesh In the Spring fields, Where the hay turns green, Dry twigs, into golden flowers, I wait for you, Reposing like a night, Quiet and deserted, Which awaits the sun, To illuminate her, With its incessant bright light....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Your presence is mesmeric, Do you fathom why? It beckons my soul, Where disenchanting turns bewitching, And I am lifted through my senses, Into the unfound spheres, Where the sky becomes my garden, And stars, the blooming flora, Where the long kept secrets, Of the heavenly spheres, Are unmasked, And a smile escapes my lips, Lost in your charm, With eyes, the two rivers of tears......

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Over the snow encased mountains, And the waves adorned seas, Among the heavenly orbs, Where no one has ever been, On the ship made of fireflies, And the spacecraft made of stars, My soul traverses all the unknown paths, Every single night, Just to see you smile while asleep, As you dream of us....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Meeting of the souls, In the Astral planes, Winning his sight, Across the starry sky, Waiting for the night, In every morrow, Because, In the Twilight ruled sleep, And the One spirit's ruled Subconsciousness, I would see him again, Where the darkness seems a bliss, The morning deepens contemplation, And mind wonders, Beneath karma's burden, Where shall this wait end? When would the soul be satiated? And so, The night arrives again.... 

Like a cold frame, Cloaked in a warm fleece, I seek your elements, Your enchanting spells, To envelope my soul, In a substratal shell, And lend me the moments, Of seraphic peace....               ~S.S ~

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My voice, Your songs, My heart, Your breaths, My body, Your soul, And together, We are complete, We are whole.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Behind these crumbling doors, Are the forgotten ages, Abaft these dilapidated walls, Are some neglected souls, The souls amidst whom perhaps, We have  met eons ago, The age, When we must have spent together, Adolescence till senescence, This ancient glory, The antediluvian, Is the proof of our devotion, Alive since centuries bygone, For as I stepped inside, I heard our whispers, Our confessions and devotions, As humming songs, The echo of our flame....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh I am your planet, You are the Sun, And I shall revolve, Around you, Until you consume me, With your fire, And we be one.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My sweetest, Awaiting? I know,  I know how you nest my words, In your divine heart, Just like a treasure hunter, Gathers the discovered jewels! And so, Everyday, as I pen my soul for you, I feel blissful, Blissful to be yours!

(c) Shilpa Sandesh The verses I write, Are the dialogues of my soul, My confessions, My realization, Of the crystalline love, So magically pure, But amazed I stand, Today, this hour, As I saw, How my voice, My words, And my glimpse, You have treasured those all, My Wizard, I love you, for being there, For without you, Everything comes to nothing.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Brilliant hues, Soothen my dream, There shall be, No more nightmarish screams, For tonight, As I raise from my being, To the Astral lands, I would hold, His divine hands.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Why isn't it the rain, But the clouds, Which decide the fortune of the drops? Why isn't it the sea, But the waves, Which decide when to be outrageous? Why isn't it the Moon, But the night, That decides when it must shine? Why isn't it the heart, But the beloved, Who decides when it has to shatter, Into an unsolvable puzzle.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh I saw, I wondered, There was a sudden thunder, Darkest night and lightning striked, The Twilight is sheathed, In the morrow Sun, But my heart still suffers, The thunderstorms, Tumultuous waves of emotions, Every moment get outrageous, The lightening from the clouds, Clouds of endurance, Still burn my frame, I wonder, I wonder how to silent, This fiery thunderstorm.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Never did she write poetry, Like she does now, For she has been frenzied, Insane in love, And she remains to be so, The roads converged, When she threw the pebbles in water, The water answered back with ripples, When she stood with arms open in the wind, The winds bathed her in return, When she kissed the flower bud, It turned into a flower, like kissing her, And this moment, The aura changed, The road seems to be diverging, Wind seems to come to a halt, The bud dried up, The water stood still, And when she said, I love you, He said, Nothing, And she finally resumes, Turning into a stone.................

(c) Shilpa Sandesh The winds blew today, Like a bird realising, That it can fly, The sea splashed outrageous waves, Like a fiery dragon, Realising that it rules the fire, And my eyes glittered, After aeons of lives and deaths, As I realised, That I am dreamt of by you......... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Be it the darkest of the dark twilight, Or the blazing days than the desert summers, Be it a thorn sheathed path, Or a swim across the vastest ocean, My beloved, Always and in all ways, I would walk with you, every mile, With vows, to always make you smile....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh The secret of this existence, I could fathom, As I dived deep in the sea of spirituality, And the meaning of this being, I could realize, As you treaded towards me, For me, And thus was revealed the secret meaning, The six words definition, Your soul, My soul, Us united........ 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh My seer, Adorn me, As an earthen lamp adorns a flame, Sheathe me, As the stars sheathe the sky, And together we would blaze, Like that morrow Sun, The Sun, Composed of two souls, Yours and mine, To be One forever, Setting on fire, The embers of the elysian sky....
