On the Shores of Time

_______________________________________________________
A life has ebbed away;

One by one

each precious year

got washed away

on the shores of Time ;

Like foot prints in the sands,

while I was searching

your foot prints to kiss.

I am afraid of the logic

It is so harsh and painful

so uncompromising

so unaccommodating;

I have no courage to look at

reality in the eyes.

Run

run away like a doomed man,

And knowing that death stalks you

and there is no running away,

think of the other life

beyond death ;

And think of your beloved

who has promised you her life -

the next ,

And all the rest to follow ,

but not this one

here and now !

Because flesh and blood are unreal 
and soul is immortal ,
it does not commit foul ;

It is not bound by " Karma ",
neither acquires , " Pap " , nor " Punya " ,

So , if you love with soul ,
it is no sin  !

But darling ,
I was born without a soul !

All I had was me ,
my body --
and what soul I have acquired 
thru these short years ,
I will leave behind ;

When the flames envelope,
it is the body which will be gone
with all its pains and pleasures --

And the soul will find 
another body
to perpetuate ,

and another
and another ;

The sneaky soul
finding one body after another,
riding many conscience together -
like Entropy
forever growing ;

Consuming all flesh and blood;

Like a black-hole
devouring space , matter , antimatter
sound and light
and darkness
and form ;

No one has recognized this soul
this eternity
this immortality
Param-Chaitnya ;

My Love ,

all that I recognize is my body
which can
see and listen and smell
and touch your body ,

and feel hungry about you
here and now 
in this life ,
which is ebbing away  !
