A poem MYSTERY WOMAN

This one was also written in those days when i might be around 20. This poem never got a chance to get composed into a song with music.



SHE IS SITTING IN THE DARK, IN THE CANDLE LIGHT,
HER HAIR ARE LONG, HER EYES GOT THE GLEAM,
HER HANDS GOT THE POWER, SHE'S GOT A CRYSTAL BALL,
HER VOICE GOT THE DEPTH, SHE WON'T TELL YOU WHAT SHE MEANS,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN


SHE IS WEARING RED GOWN, IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT,
SHE'S YOUNGER THAN YOU THINK, LIKE SHE'S FROM OTHER WORLD,
SHE'LL CREATE FIRE IN YOUR HEART, THAT WILL BURN UP YOUR PAST,
SO YOU BETTER BE AWARE, 'CAUSE SHE CAN KILL YOU IN THE NIGHT,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE MYSTIFIED, YOU LET HER WORK HER WAY,
SHE WILL FILL YOU WITH HER MAGIC, THAT COULD EXPLODE YOUR HEAD,
YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON HER, AND WATCH HER EVERY MOVE,
SHE COULD HIT YOU WITH THE LIGHTENING, RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR EYES,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

RUNNING FOR NOTHING

This was the first ever poem i wrote, it was written for a purpose of transforming into a song since i was learning guitar and wanted to do something creative, something original, as such things were loved. And it was also the first composed song of my own.


AS THEY DO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR HEAVEN,
EACH TIME I ENDED TO THE HELL'S GATE,
IT WAS ENOUGH OF IT WHEN I HEARD A MAD MANS WORDS,
HE SAYS, RUN FOR NOTHING,
RUN FOR NOTHING,

I DID GAVE HIM A CHANCE,
SINCE I'VE BEEN RUNNING, RUNNING AND RUNNING,
I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,

ITS SO TEMPTING, SO ORGASMIC, SO FILLED,
THIS NOTHING,
SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING

Meditation Ramana Maharshi

Few quote from Ramana Maharshi on meditation and self inquiry


‘The same line you take in meditation will be expressed in your activities.’

‘If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.’

‘Inquiring, "Who am I that is in bondage?" and knowing one's real nature alone is liberation.’

‘If one resorts uninterruptedly to remembrance of one's real nature until one attains the Self, that alone will be sufficient.’

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Uninterrupted remembrance of the self requires much aliveness and vigilance from our part. To be aware of everything that is happenings to the self, the past and the future affecting the mind, the environment affecting the mind, and in the midst of that remembering the self can be quiet arduous. The grace of the God or Guru or perfect Master helps much. Also Sai Baba of Shirdi use to say many times "You need not go far or anywhere in search of Me. Barring your name and form, there exists in you, as well as in all beings, a sense of Being or Consciousness of Existence. That is Myself. Knowing this, you see Me inside yourself, as well as in all beings. If you practise this, you will realize all-pervasiveness, and thus attain oneness with Me."

CALL FOR HORIZON

This version of poem was composed in a song with a rock rhythm and was sung in a couple of rock shows


I WANNA FLY LIKE EAGLE,
FLYING HIGHEST,
I WANNA KNOW THE DANGERS,
OF THE HEIGHTS,
I WANNA KNOW ALONENESS,
OF THE HEIGHTS,

HAI HAI YAUGH,
HAI HAI YAUGH,

ITS A CALL FOR HORIZON,


I WANNA FLOW LIKE RIVER,
ALWAYS FLOWING,
YEAH FLOWING,
AND FLOWING,
THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS,
THROUGH THE PLAINS,

HAI HAI YAUGH,
HAI HAI YAUGH,

ITS A CALL FOR HORIZON,

I WANNA MELT AND MERGE IN,
INTO OCEAN,
I WANNA FLY OVER THE,
OVER THE HILLS,
I WANNA MOVE ON,
UNTRODDEN PATHS,

HAI HAI YAUGH,
HAI HAI YAUGH,

ITS A CALL FOR HORIZON


I WANNA FLY LIKE EAGLE,
FLYING HIGHEST,
I WANNA KNOW THE DANGERS,
OF THE HEIGHTS,
I WANNA KNOW ALONENESS,
OF THE HEIGHTS,

SITTING BY RIVER SIDE

About 18 years ago when i was about 20 years of age used to write poems, and compose them into songs. Few songs were sung i local rock shows and others just while with friends. All these the poems will be posted under the label blogger's poems will be posted.

This one was called Sitting by Riverside


SITTING BY RIVER SIDE, I SEE THE STARS SHINES BRIGHT,
WATCHING BENEATH MY SHOES, IS THE GRASS SO GREEN,
WATER RUNNIN' GOT, GOT THE SOUND SO RIGHT,
WIND BLOWING MAKES, MAKES ME FEEL ALL RIGHT,

SITTING BY RIVER SIDE

WALKING TROUGH THE DESERT, I SEE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT,
BELOW MY FEET IS, IS THE SAND SO HOT,
DISTANT HORIZON, MAKES ME FEEL SO HIGH,
HALLUCINATION, TRYING TO TAKE ME AWAY,

WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT

PASSING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, THE AIR IS SO THIN,
BELOW MY EYES ARE, THE VALLEYS SO DEEP,
MOUNTAIN PEAKS AT DISTANCE, WANNA MAKE ME REACH SO HIGH,
I DON'T KNOW DESTINATION, 'CAUSE ITS LIKE THE CALL FROM THE UNKNOWN,

Love and Attachment

* 'Love is a dangerous thing, it brings the only revolution that gives complete happiness. So few of us are capable of love, so few want love. We love on our own terms, making of love a marketable thing. We have the market mentality and love is not marketable, a give-and-take affair. It is a state of being in which all man’s problems are resolved. We go to the well with a thimble and so life becomes a tawdry affair, puny and small.'

* 'When you get rid of attachment, there will be LOVE.' 'LOVE can not exist where there is attachment.'

* 'Attachment gives a sense of belonging, identification with something, a sense of reality, of being. When that is threatened, there is fear, anger, envy, jealousy, pain. Is all this love?'

* 'In the denial of what love is not, love is'.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

* 'But true Bliss can come only to one who would take courage in his hands and become free of all attachment to forms, which are nothing but the illusions of duality. Only then can he get united with his true Beloved, who is God as the eternal and abiding Truth behind all forms, including what he regards as his own body.'

* 'Often wars are carried on by a form of love, but a love that has not been properly understood. In order that love may come into its own it must be free, untrammeled and unlimited. Love exists in all phases of human life, but usually it is latent; or it is limited and poisoned by personal ambition, racial pride, narrow loyalties and rivalries, and attachment to sex, nationality, sect, caste or religion. For the resurrection of humanity the heart of man must be unlocked so that adulterated love may be manifested in it — a love uncorrupted and free from "me" and "mine".'

Meher Baba

Avoid attachment to both what is pleasant
And what is unpleasant.
Losing the pleasant causes grief.
Dwelling on the unpleasant also causes grief.
Do not cling to the pleasant.
Let it pass,
So that the separation will not diminish you.
Clinging to what is dear brings sorrow.
Clinging to what is dear brings fear.
To one who is entirely free from endearment
There is no sorrow or fear.

Gautam Buddha

* 'A third motive is Kama, which is pleasure, love, or attachment. For this one neglects things and makes sacrifices. It is the main object in life. Yet pleasure is such that the desire for it is never satisfied. The more one experiences the pleasures of this earth, the more one wants to experience them. This pleasure is not lasting and it usually costs more than it is worth.'

* 'The attachment and love and affection of man are not very different from the attachment of the birds and animals. There is a time when the sparrow looks after its young and brings grains in its beak and puts them into the beak of its young ones, and they anxiously await the coming of their mother. And this goes on until their wings are grown, and once the young ones have known the branches of the tree and they have flown in the forests under the protection of their mother, they never again remember that mother who was so kind to them. There are moments of emotion, there are impulses of love, of attachment, of affection, but there comes a time when these pass; they pale and fade away. And there comes a time when a person thinks that there is something else he desires and something else he would like to love.'

Hazrat Inayat Khan



* 'You will feel restless for God when your heart becomes pure and your mind free from attachment to the things of the world. Then alone will your prayer reach God. A telegraph wire cannot carry messages if it has a break or some other defect.'


Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsha

* 'Let go of your attachment to the unreal and the real will swiftly and smoothly step into its own. Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn upon you. With this will come great love which is not choice or predilection, nor attachment, but a power which makes all things love-worthy and lovable.'

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
