this one is about the moment of the big bang or creation if you please...about how a single consciousness realizes its split into many....slight religious undertones to it

THE SPLENDOR OF A THOUSAND SUNS
Vast immeasurable oceans of space
Dark and empty to the farthest gaze

There is neither Light nor Dark
Night nor Day
the clock does not tick
the bell does not toll

Time has no meaning here
Nor does Space
All that exists here is Consciousness
An awareness ,with neither form nor face

Emotions are yet to be born
Creation yet to occur

A small minute speck of light
A golden Orb of the whitest white
Neither within nor outside
Pulsating , glowing;

Throbbing with power unfathomable
The splendour of a thousand suns!!!oh Hiranyagarbha!!!

The Sphere begins to grow
Swallowing and engulfing Nothingness

Then Division is Willed
Galaxies and stars are born
Numbers too vast to count

I becomes WE
ONE torn to many
The same yet unique

Still the Orb remains
Its aura undiminished
Its nature unchanged


What is Whole is Whole
What is Whole will forever be Whole
Any pert from the Whole is the Whole
And does in no way diminish the Whole

tThe Ethereal enters the Gross
Self regulating self sustained by a set of laws
Thus is the mighty stage set
To feature the Play of plays

Where truth is hidden beneath the veil
And each one's a stringed puppet

Twisted one way then the other
By whims of faceless Fate
Striving and yearning
Yearning to gleam
The reality behind the facade

BACK AFTER A LONG TIME!!!here is a poem ;straight from the depths of my heart:
OH SWAMI!!
SAFFRON ROBES'
A SWEET SMILE
A HALO OF HAIR
FACE FAIR

EYES ALIGHT
TEJAS BRIGHT
OH SWAMI!!
WHAT A SIGHT !!
WHAT A SIGHT!!

THY KINGDOM COME
THY WILL BE DONE


YOUR MAJESTY GROWS
AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW
THAT THE SAVIOUR HAS COME
TO LEAD US HOME

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
THE KINGDOM OF PUREST WHITE

REDEMPTION HAS COME
YOU HEAR THE KNOCK!!
ALL WE ARE TO DO
IS OPEN THE LOCK!

THIS SAYS IT ALL

DANCE OF DESTRUCTION
Tears in her eyes
a needle in her hand
she prepares to take flight
to realms unseen

the world glows bright
then fades to darkness
suddenly,images of light
hallucinations shining forth

locked in her own world
realms out of our sight
washed away in a river of ecstasy
pleasure overflowing restraint

thus she remains
moaning with passion
fantasies running amok
with no room for reason

slowly the stupor subsides
and guilt gains ground
with sadness she realises
yet again she gave in

when she sees him there
tears flow from eyes
bitterness sears through her
a reflection of his plight

not a word is spoken
looks convey what words dont
of succumbing and addiction
of promise betrayed

the father is numb beyond despair
he had seen her lively witty and full of life
full of sun and rainbows,brightness and hope
before she destroyed herself in his sight

now circles of darkness adorn her eyes
which just stare ahead ;blank,bloodshot.
nerves protrude from tender hands
telling the tale of a soul's decay and rot

she is less than human now
no more than animal
fighting tooth and nail
to get her "fix " everyday

she sold her soul
to rid her pain
there is no life left now
only poison coursing through her veins

the Time has passed now
it is too late
yet another hope betrayed
by cruel twist of fate

sometimes i sit and wonder
how a moment of desperation changes lives
how trying to escape reality
destroys countless lives

im back people....
EDGE OF REASON=ENLIGHTENMENT
When you drove me to desperation
I was forced to see reason

when pushed me to the brink of hell
i felt the light of heaven

when you almost made me lose myself
i realised who i truly was

when i lost everything i ever loved
i could understand what love truly was

when i had not a penny in my pocket
i knew then who my real friends were

when my greatest dream was shattered
i found the courage to pick myself up and move on

when pessimism and shyness drove me to a halt
i could see how my vision had to expand

thank you god for all the suffering
the tears and turmoil
yes they burnt like fire
but they also helped me forge myself

now i believe, that "whatever life hurls at you
only breaks your limitations
when you lose you always gain
that is the price tag for finding yourself.

WALKING IN THE RAIN

under a cold starry sky
hand in hand they walked by
she thought of him to be her one true friend
and he thought of her as his one true love

they had been together for many years
through ups and downs ,smiles and tears
with both unsure of the other's feelings
and unsure for whom their heart was beating

neither had the courage to own up
neither had the courage to ask
and now and errie silence stood between them
a wall through which neither could pass

thus they walked turmoil raging in their hearts
and anguish dancing in his soul
when they both felt they couldn't take anymore
Nature took control

A gentle breeze
a caressing drizzle
the cloudy sky
yet the full moon shining high

this brought Smile to their faces
thoughts of exotic days and far away places

the Smiles blossomed into Laughter
and Laughter brought Her friend Joy
and there they stood the wall now broken
and they spoke thoughts unspoken

and finally,he told her of the love in his heart
and of his desire to be together and never part

he let his emotions ride
and made his feeling known
he spoke eloquently of the love in his heart
and ask her to join him in wedlock

she hesitated still unsure
her heart raced with emotions unseen
then a sudden moment of clarity
and only He could be seen

the frown ceased and the brows widened
the pursed lips flowered into a smile
blood rushed to her cheeks and made her flush
and her eyes exuded a starry glow

"yes "she said face alight
"marry me"she said voice full of life
in the church they stood faces bright
thereby pronounced man and wife

this is version 2 of ma previous poem.this deals with what we think of love and commitment
WE SAY "YES I DO"
we want to be what we really are
we are sick of shyness,tired of restraint;
we dont wish to be just another face in the crowd
we ant to break dogma,and speak our mind.

we shall not lock our love in the dungeons of the heart
we will let it flow free engulfing our very soul.
we dont fear commitments, nor care for reproach.

we have the courage to speak up
and let our feelings be known
to walk up the aisle hand in hand
and boldly say"unto death do we part"

meaning it in the deepest sense of the words
where souls unite and identities merge
