The Eclipse of the Mind.



Deep ,deep in the deepest recesses of the night, there stalks a shadow. It transcends far beyond the physical celestial eclipse observable in the cosmos. When phantoms and shadows dance in the night, there is silent stalker called the eclipse of the mind. A cosmological event that boils and bubbles in the mind at night when silent slumber dawns on us.

The mind is an expansive universe all on its own. A cosmic event in its own right in the depths of the mind. This mental eclipse causes the convergence of notions in opposition to each other. It is the challenges issued to dreams and nightmares, the radiance of reason at war with the darkness of uncertainty. The furious unrelenting war between confidence and apprehension, happiness at war with sadness. Ideas that glow radiant, now confront the cloak of being obscured. It is like the cold moon casting its shadow over the fiery sun.

This eclipse is not the eclipse of the sun, so watched wit eagerness. It is the violent interplay of thoughts screaming through the braincells like racing cars. The mind is in itself a cosmic dance, the interplay of light ad darkness, of good and bad. of confidence and apprehension, of illumination and shadow. 

In the quagmire of this mental eclipse, the mind is the scrutinizer of thoughts, at a time deep in the night of silent slumber, the passage of thoughts, race like demons, to be filtered and refined at the waking hourrs.

My little angels ~ Goodbye.



In your innocence, not knowing right or wrong

Laughing, you fly into the arms of God

I compose this poem teary eyed

Heaven's door is waiting for you

Fly, fly my little angels


Bombs and bullets don't care

Sent to you by a cruel race

Who claim they are a special people

What kind of God decrees that

Fly, fly my little angels


Suddenly, with the drop of a bomb

Dropped by a murderer flying high in the sky

You had to die

Not knowing that they don't care

Fly, fly my little angels


A self-proclaimed bunch of liars

They have willing minions 

Who will die for this odious race

Cruel eyes laid upon you

Fly, fly my little angels


You are now free of the troubles of the earth

Flying on wings, you can laugh

Innocent laughter is precious

More precious that all the wealth in the world

Fly, fly my little angels

The Night.




The night falls on us like a shroud
The moon rises accompanied by the stars
The sun has gone to rest in its bed
Quiet falls on the world of the dark
The deep of the night greets its stalkers
Bats, lizards and crickets
Their sounds resonate in the dark
The moon and the stars bear silent witness
To the creatures of the night
Alone by myself I sit
In the silence of the night, I am alone
In the depths of my mind, I travel
Into the winding library of my thoughts
My solace in what I can achieve
My sorrow in what I will lose
My friends of the night, the moon and the stars

Oh Lord Rama, you have returned to Ayodhaya.

  Lord, My Lord, you confidently stride I too want to stride like a lord Confident of your victory over the overthrowers Manly, confident st...
