THE UNKNOWN LOVER
Never he met her, never he knows her well
But a current of passion encircles his heart
With the inquisitiveness for who is she and
What is she, the umbrella of love gives him
Shade of comfort and contentment of loving
Her with his soul, imaginative image of her
Is far more superior to and it is much more
Powerful than seeing her directly, the words
Of her hanging in soul, he holds them tightly,
And swinging, the breeze of gentleness blows
Across his heart and it beats singing the
Melody of love, may be the act of a lunatic,
But he contemplated love, the love of the
Century, for the unknown dew that falls on
His soul continuously, a rare excitement of
Love dripping down rhythmically and musically.

INDIVIDUALITY
The quality being, he is and he will be,
In the long run of life, the quality of
Him or her showered fragrance, their
Identity being maintained, nobody can
Steal it; stands as tower of magnificence
With reference to ability, quality, power,
So much so, the person can glitter with
The great feeling of something new has
Been done among all the others with the
Contentment blooming; never masked
By the deeds of others, never mixed with,
Projection of own personality, marks the
Significance of exposing the quality of one’s
Own integrity and personality, in reality.

AFTER LIFE
Yes, why doubt, it’s there, a great reality
When the faith and the hope combines,
It forms the miraculous insight of seeing
And hearing with the open deep senses
Of what is today, what is tomorrow and
What is thereafter; the soul is dissected
Out from body spiritually, it lives in this
World, a great truth, the soul lives also
After the physical separation of the body
From the soul occurring on earth, it is
Set free and it floats and lives in eternity
Only to be sworn by those who have the
Experience of passing through the system
Of purification of mind, with faith in God.
