Is this a nightmare?
The life I am living seems so unreal, feels like an endless scary toil, as I fight my deep-rooted fears, unable to hold back my tears I pray that my mind adheres and my heart also hears my pleas I fear that my soul is being hoodwinked by my mind …my mean mind that is so unkind It simply delights in the agony Though I don’t think it’s so funny making me dance to its tunes as if I was …
Is our suffering holy?
I This silence between us tears me apart slowly “Staying away” from you is killing me wholly I know our love is sacred and our feelings are holy Then why do you suffer? And why do I feel so lowly? II I miss you every moment and each is never-ending Though all seems normal we know we’re pretending I can hear a gloomy sound Is it your heart that’s rending as it craves my sacred love, while you refuse comprehending? …

My incorrigible heart
It’s dusk, that miraculous time of the day The sun has set on the other side of the bay Children are shouting, laughing as they play Birds are hurrying off to where they stay Pious individuals are bowing down to pray Labourers seem happy to receive their pay The Sky looks like a pink rose bouquet As if His creation, He has chosen to display If all is so beautiful, why does it seem grey?

No, I am not In fact I am eager for it to take me away To the unknown From where I came I am eager to cross over To the other side Which is my own Where physical boundaries Don’t limit me Where I can love And be loved Endlessly Where no one says Till death do us part Because we never part Where love is not contrived No meanings are derived No, I am …
The First Shower
A million water droplets start falling all around At once accompanied by a thundering sound An exotic, musky fragrance rises from the soil Bringing back memories of sadness and turmoil Like a fleeting revelation a bolt of lightning strikes Releasing my emotions, and hurting like spikes Then walking in the rain I find it easy to deceive Rain camouflages tears, and it’s so easy to believe Then, just as clouds had gathered without warning They disappear, to let the sun …
Nirvana
Travelling in time, Can I step into a parallel universe? Drifting in space, Can I escape this life of a curse? Delving deeper, Can I decode what is THE plan? Probing further, Can I measure the distance to span? Leaving this plane, Can I fly into the endless sky? Shunting this soil, Can I gain the view of a bird’s eye? Releasing all, Can I end this existential course? Liberating me, Can I unite with the ultimate source? ~© Manoj …
Silent conversation
Silence surrounds me Emptiness around me Where am I going? What am I doing? Now I am pensive Now reflective What am I thinking? Why am I blinking? Neither happy nor sad Neither good nor bad What am I feeling? What am I concealing? Sleep is now my foe And breathing also Why am I restless? Why so lifeless? Loving unconditionally But living aimlessly Why am I loving? Why am I living? ~© Manoj Khatri~

Love is courage Or is it the source of fears? Love is happiness Or is it the cause of tears? Love is hope Or is it a spell of despair? Love is forever Or is it a momentary affair? Love is pleasure Or is it the reason for pain? Love is sunshine Or is it a season of rain? Love is glory Or is it something austere? Love is dreams Or is it a lingering nightmare? Love is heaven Or …
