This body

I know this body is just a body
this I shall leave sooner or later
beyond the earthen room
I shall wander together with the wind, again.
I wonder what this attachment called ego
too much to bear but its all over and everywhere
where this body goes with the soul
there it speaks of this ego of superiority and dominance.

Is this a mere physique given for joy?
Is this a mere physique given to live?
In delusion we trust the mirror
that reflects this body ugly or beautiful
every effort is made to maintain this body
to remain as it is in youth, forever to remain so.

Why this painful challenge on humankind?
Aging is the hardest when it comes to acceptance
what to say when the energy saps away gradually
every cell is made to cry for eternal youth.
Whither goes humankind with the wish to remain forever young?
while the mind and the senses made to succumb with all extremes
we bask in hard refusal of the eternal truth that speaks of evolution
that process the eternity will never forsake to our selfish craving.

I know this body is just a body
this I shall leave sooner or later
beyond the earthen room
I shall wander together with the wind, again.
the bond of the senses
shall never touch me again
one with universe I will eternally become.

A good rest

The night - wonderful.

huddling together with the sea
the ebbed tides slowly return with soft hushes
submerged my inner chatterings, awhile.
the night smiles seeing the moon bright
both the night and light finds the transient oneness
beyond limitations they mingle
only darkness dimness brightness
this night today is indeed a wonderful night
spreading shadows and reflecting lights
all too good, a damn perfect sight
and the heaven shower sprinkles joy
as the time ticks by, hastiness slows down.

another facet of nature unveiled
I am euphoric within my heart.

The Lonely Night

The night whispers cold breeze

As I stood watching the dark sea,

Glitters of neon reflected in the water.

While the waves danced merrily

On the surface of the glittering sea

The night said to me in a very sad tone

"I am lonely, be with me throughout my stay"

Deeply within I wish the night knows

That I have always been there for her.

The glare

staring at the mirror
while my toothbrush diligently finds my teeth
I spot the glare above my head
and I take a second look,
I realized my hairs are losing their grips

I know my head will be freed soon.

as I stare at the comb near sink.
I chuckled silently and said

'you too going to lose your job'

No wonder I feel lighter nowadays.

The book

the pages between the book
silently yearns for my eyes to peruse
to be free again from the settling dust
which slowly cover the words.

between the pages
my soul, the book seeks again.
