Drifting

Drifting like an aimless cloud, resembling a soft ball of cotton in the clear, blue sky Moving in no specific direction I feel peaceful Floating like an unmanned raft concurring with the currents of an endless, wild sea Thinking no specific thoughts I feel joyful Hopping like a beautiful butterfly from flower to flower in the garden of love Smiling with no specific reason I feel cheerful Walking like a goalless vagabond who has nothing to achieve in this lovely, …

Belonging to you

Loving you is difficult Yet it is also most fulfilling In ways that I cannot explain It’s chilling as well as thrilling Understanding you is challenging But it is also quite stimulating Your mysterious ways of expressing Can’t say if you’re leaving…or waiting Knowing you is absorbing And it is also utterly sweeping I’m blissful when I’m with you Whether we’re laughing…or weeping Missing you is painful and terribly, incredibly agonising Whenever I am away from you It’s as if …

Emptiness

As I wander alone in life Wanting to be needed, needing to be loved Willing to belong, longing to be wanted I see the yawning black sky, and its never-ending vastness Mirroring my heart’s emptiness, concealing its beat’s fastness, but revealing my soul’s freeness The universe seems so pointless Millions of stars shining for billions of years together, making a pretty sight for us to adore at night But is that their purpose? To simply adorn the sky The yawning, …

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? Can someone explain to me …

Candour

My friendship is not a favour Nor is it a fleeting flavour It is a lifelong promise An oath of eternal bliss My fidelity is not coerced Nor is it an act rehearsed It is an urge intrinsic Like truly inspired music My love is not an obligation Nor is it a fascination It is a choice I’ve made An instinct I obeyed My dream is not an illusion Nor is it a conjured delusion It is a glimpse of …

Harvest

The mind’s garden is fertile As we sow, so shall we reap A good seed produces a smile A bad one makes us weep Resentment leads to anger Prejudice promotes hatred Fear is a synonym for danger Guilt kills before we’re dead Doubts raise uncertainty Envy is the root of pain Blame generates toxicity Is there anything we gain? To avoid a harvest of weeds We must plant noble seeds Like those of genuine love Blessed with grace from above …

Quest

I find myself… Thoughtful …wondering about life Crying …striving for truth Loving …missing God Alone …struggling to be understood Lost …different than others Surprised …clueless about time Expressive …naïve and innocent Faithful …living like a child Committed …ready to die Determined …in quest of myself Will I find myself? ~© Manoj Khatri~

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 …
