FRAGRANCE OF A RARE FLOWER.

FRAGRANCE OF A RARE FLOWER

From nowhere was he ushered into this earth 
In no time was he overtaken by death
Like a flower that blossomed one morning 
And withered so soon to leave me mourning 

My memory of him shall never perish
His love for me I shall forever cherish 
Though fate has set us far apart 
Yet from within me he will never depart.

The tears in my eyes my vision they shroud 
Like the drops of rain from the heavy cloud. 
My heart bleeds with pain and sorrow 
Pierced as though by an unseen arrow 

Beneath my feet in the dust he lies 
Gone forever deaf to my cries 
His body and soul split asunder 
One to the grave the other to where I wonder!

N.S.RAMESH.
Poem written 
in memory of my son.

NOW IS ETERNITY

    NOW IS ETERNITY  I live in the now and now lives in me It is now that masquerades as the me It is eternal and neither space nor time Exist outside of it for it contains all It is this moment where life happens And is the only moment that forever exists It has neither birth nor does it ever die It is not an existence which is perishable Nor is at an emptiness which is a mere void It has no color or form and enjoys no pleasure or suffers no pain It is the limitless container for it has no boundaries And the world arises and subsides in it. I am that and the world arises when I am in movement And disappears when I am at rest. N.S.Ramesh (poem)

THE SEEKER

  What is it that  I want? Seen it all to the mind's content  Yet I roam like the wind Not knowing where to go I have seen only petty pleaures That touch the heart but never fill it So transient and yet they repeat themselves  And bring only remorse and no fulfillment  Man's soul is pure and remains untouched The mind is fraught with desires unfulfilled  And he rummages like the musk deer Not knowing what he seeks is seeking him Mesmerised by all that appears, just a fleeting picture He knows not what the source of all appearance is And yet seeks and seeks till his last breath  Then wisdom dawns, that the seeker is the sought. N.S.RAMESH (poem)

A BROKEN TREE

      A BROKEN TREE A broken tree, which once had stood with pride Now ravaged by the onslaught of nature Has a lone flower sprouting from it With bright red petals and full of grace Standing amidst the broken ruins Tilting its face to blossom in sunshine Cheering the morning with its blushes Saying that nothing is broken forever Every life that has once been broken Can mend itself with love and hope A lesson learnt from the broken tree. N.S.Ramesh  (Poem)
