The Fall

To be without thee,
Is to fall into the endless depths,
Of a cimmerian darkness....

A Night of Sorcery

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Should I call it a night of sorcery, Or a twilight of voodoo dreams, I know not, I saw my beloved wizard, Right in front of me, "To lock my eyes with yours, Was the moment, I have longed to live, When you mesmerized me, With some incantations and spells, And I submitted to you, My whole self " Only to find, to my dismay, That all was but just an illusion, A dream, In which I floated and swayed....

The Seeker Of The Seer......

(c) Shilpa Sandesh I know not since how many lives and deaths, I wandered hither, thither, Searching endlessly,  Without even the faintest signs of you; I know not how many lives and deaths, I have lamented and shed the tears of blood, While I found nothing, no trace of you; I have passed the births after births, I was a reptile, a mammoth, a bird, But soon the drop of mercy, The Almighty fed me with, To be born a human, and He said in blessings, "Thee shall now stride, On the final seeking ride, Thou shall find what thou sought, No more trials of fate, No more blows of failures, But a beauteous pearl, Blessed be, the daughter of Love"; The holy sacrifice, I shall make no more, Enough of painful seeking, My soul has suffered it all, Love, is no cow, no goat, Nor is it a human, Whom one shall sacrifice; Love, My Almighty told, Is but a precious pearl, A pearl so white and pure, Which knows not what is life, Or anger or greed or hatred, Lov...

A Geisha's Diary

It's a giver's soul, that my form inherits, I dance and I swirl, Irrespective of breathing in sorrow's whirl, 'Cause they need a smile, To see my form sway, They traverse miles, But can you look beyond these eyes? Beneath the fire you see, is a casket of ice, A kimono sheathes my mortal frame, And I know what goes in your mind, Do you know, I too have a name! I shall speak of all the wondrous things, My blessing lies in the smiles I bring, Soon the clocks would tick, And all of you would leave, I would recall the faces, Some joyous and some who grieve, That's how my all days are, The world is near, yet so far, But I accept all as His providence, And resume my blessed silence....
