The Shape of True Peace

-


Is this the peace we name ? a fragile hush,

Between the past that burns and threats to come?

A silence stitched with fear, not healing truth,

Where wounds lie still, yet whisper what’s undone.

***

In shadowed quiet where soft voices fade,

There lies a truth too weighty to be held-

A fragile hope delayed by our own hands,

Awaiting those whose courage is not quelled.

***

Peace is not born from darkness holding breath,

Nor from the calm complacency defends;

It lives within the fury of the storm,

A fire through which the will to stand transcends.

***

Across the earth, divided voices rise,

Not seeking justice, only victory;

As if the act of winning broken wars

Could mend the roots of fractured dignity.

***

And those who wear the symbols forged for peace

Stand silent, bound by words that lost their claim;

They watch as history repeats its wounds,

Yet fail to act, and still invoke its name.

***

If we do not act when the moment calls,

What right have we to say that we are one?

If titles mask the truth we choose to hide,

Then peace becomes a lie too often spun.

***

It lives within the cracks of broken walls,

In trembling hands that dare to build once more;

Not in the ease of undisturbed stillness,

But facing all the pain we have ignored.

***

Peace is the fire that refuses to fade,

A spark that breathes within the coldest night;

A voice that rises when silence grows loud,

A quiet, unrelenting act of light.

***

It dwells in eyes that do not turn away,

From chaos, hatred, all we choose to fear;

In steady will that stands when ease retreats,

And breaks the chains we’ve carried year to year.

***

Let us not hide beneath the guise of calm,

Nor call the lack of conflict lasting peace;

For peace demands the courage to confront,

A truth through which divisions find release.

***

In every act of kindness we extend,

In every stand we choose though we may fall,

Peace is the choice we make, again, anew-

To see the human soul within us all.

***

So when the world stands trembling at the edge,

And hope seems lost within the weight of night,

Remember-peace is courage, lived and proved,

The dawn we choose to bring again to light.

***

Until we rise to meet what we must face,

What we call peace remains a fragile guise-

A pause that bears the weight of our delay,

And all the truth we chose to compromise.

***

So let us be the fire we seek in dark,

The hands that heal, the voices that unite;

For peace is born when we refuse to wait,

And choose to stand, and turn the dark to light.

The Bliss

Image
  True bliss is not found in desire, but in dignity, compassion, and a love that heals The Bliss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like autumn leaves unmoored from memory, My years were borne on time’s unpitying sea. Not to replace the love I once had known, But seeking still a peace to call my own. *** A bud was bound before it learned to bloom, A bride adorned in youth’s unripe perfume. Yet motherhood, that distant, sacred flame, Withdrew its light and would not speak my name. *** I wandered through white halls of muted breath, Where hope lay pale, acquainted close with death. In shrines where incense veiled the weeping air, I knelt among the ashes of despair. *** The stars, in cold indifference, were aligned To write denial deep within my mind. Their silent scripts, like frost on tender ground, Left barren fields where dreams were never found. *** Through searing suns that scorched the patient land, Through monsoon grief no heart could understand, I walked as one whom fate had marked apart, A q...

The Womb Beyond

-
Image
 Before I saw, I learned to name the dark, As “is” and “is not,” drawn in fragile lines; Like hands that trace the edges of a spark, Yet never grasp the fire that truly shines. *** Beyond my thought, something vast remains, Unseen, like oceans pressing into shell; Its distant pulse moves softly through my veins, A truth I feel, yet cannot fully tell. *** I live enclosed, like seeds beneath the soil, Believing earth and darkness are the whole; Unknowing of the sky beyond this coil, Or winds that wait to carry forth the soul. *** Like one once held within a hidden womb, Who never saw the vastness of the sky, Yet felt faint echoes through the gentle gloom, A distant life that slowly drifted by. *** And even now, in stillness, I can feel A subtle pull, like tides I cannot see; A silent force that does not speak, yet real, A hidden door that waits to open me. *** What I call end may be a breaking free, Like shells that crack to let new life begin; Not fall to void, but vast immensity, A...

Letters of Poetry

-
Image
In silent ink, eternity is spun, A voice that whispers when all is gone. Through fleeting shadows, words remain- A light that guides us through joy and pain.   ***************** Letters endure where fleeting voices fade, In poetry, their living breath is found. From silent thoughts, in careful lines they're made, And shape the truth that echoes all around. *** The pen, a sword of ink and quiet fire, Through poetry, it carves what must be known. It lifts the weak, it kindles lost desire, And gives a voice to hearts once left alone. *** In letters born, the dreams of freedom rise, Through poetry, they reach the open air. It walks with those in poverty and cries, Yet stands with wealth that glitters unaware. *** It sings of women,strength in every line, A grace that time and struggle can't erase. Through every verse, their silent powers shine, In poetry, they claim their rightful place. *** Each letter holds both tenderness and pain, In poetry, all human truths are cast. Kindness...

The Bamboo Cutter

-
Image
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I walked where hunger carved its mark in dust, The bamboo rose like wants I could not still. I cut one down, yet many took its place, Desire climbed and pressed against the sky. !!!!!!!!!! In shadowed past, the forest breathed in hush, A restless longing stirred beneath my skin. I claimed the green as something made for me, And cut as though it had no voice to lose. !!!!!!!!!! Each hollow stem became a dream I held, A roof, a bed, a cradle yet to swing. I shaped my future from the living wood, And never paused to hear what roots might say. !!!!!!!!!! My blade came down; the earth replied in pain, The broken ground released its hidden fangs. From silent depths, the waiting dangers rose, Like buried truths returning into light. !!!!!!!!!! I struck them down, yet still they seemed to grow, For what we hide will find its way again. The forest whispered softly through the leaves, But want had made me deaf to all but need. !!!!!!!!!! A fragile ne...

Ash Beneath the God

-
Image
In temple fire, I rose beyond my name, My colors burned,red rage, white hush, black past. Bare feet on stone, I climbed through chants and smoke, Each drumbeat shaped a god from fragile bone. My skin became a map of hidden truths, A painted lie the faithful learned to trust. I wore their faith like armor made of flame, While doubt lay waiting, breathing under ash. Each step I climbed was built from silent need, From hunger sharpened by a world denied. I rose, Kaliyattakkaran  in their eyes- No longer man, but something they could fear. Crowned high in fire and woven threads of awe, I stood where questions perished into praise. They bowed as if my silence carried truth, While pride and faith grew tangled in my chest. At last I stepped into the living flame, Not as a man, but longing turned to light. I felt myself dissolve in something vast- The fire and I were no longer apart. In that bright union, doubt began to stir, A whisper threading through the sacred heat. For even gods, when...

A Brew Called Peace

-
Image
  “Peace is often not genuine calm or harmony. It is a kind of numbness or illusion created after violence, pain, and sacrifice.” ********************* What we call “peace” is not pure - it is something fermented from suffering. Sacred words are placed in vessels, mixed with human blood, burned, buried, dissolved, turned into something else  and when we consume it, the numbness we feel is what we name as peace. >>> The world can cut and bleed, and peace from bitter seeds grows, In quiet after dreams, from shadows and from screams it flows. *** A sorrow steeped so slow in wounds we hide and vows we keep, Words once so pure and bright now stained in endless nights run deep. *** Sacred words rest in vessels, truths we cannot deny still, Mixed with what life has torn, with weary hearts it bends our will. *** Burned and broken away, then buried deep in hidden ground, Lost within time itself, where silent pain will not be found. *** At last it turns anew, from all the trial...

Divine Ghost

-
Image
From distant gaze, you shine with radiant grace, Like dawn that gilds the edges of the sky. Your tender smile enchants the longing heart, And draws us close, as tides obey the moon. But standing near, your laughter splits the air, A thunder crack that shatters sacred calm. Revealed beneath,your teeth are stained with night, As though the dark itself has learned to bleed. Within your charm, a silent serpent coils, Its venom masked in honeyed, gentle words. Your voice, like fire in sacred scripture cast, Still lures the lost like moths unto their end. Desire burns in you, a restless flame, And war resounds within your beating pulse. A beauty fierce, yet cloaked in false divine, A storm disguised within a house of prayer. Yet I have seen beyond your shining veil, A truth no shadow dares to hide for long. I bear a strength, a quiet binding force, To break your hold and strip your borrowed light. For every soul you crushed beneath your will, For every cry that vanished into dust, I draw a c...

The Grave Flowers Bloom

-
Image
  Grave flowers rise where quiet stones remember, Bright blooms that carry neither scent nor pride. I walk among the rows of silent sleepers, And feel the breath of stories in the soil. *** Why do these blossoms grow without their fragrance? Perhaps the earth has drunk their tears too long. Beneath this ground lie hearts that once were burning, With love for others, hopes the world forgot. *** Some lived their lives in service of another, And gave their light like candles in the wind. Their gentle deeds were scattered through the seasons, Yet time has sealed their names beneath the dust. *** I stand and think how fragile life can wander, How pride and anger fade before the grave. No gold remains, no crown survives the silence- Only the weight of kindness that we gave. *** These flowers teach a quiet human lesson: That life is brief, but goodness travels far. The hands that heal, the words that guard another, Outlive the noise of power and of fame. *** Sometimes I feel these blossom...

After the Rain – A Rose’s Heart

-
Image
  I was a rose beneath the sun, Waiting for a hummingbird’s gentle flight. My petals opened just for you, Holding my nectar, soft and bright. Each dawn I hoped your wings would pause, That you would rest your heart in mine. But winds kept calling you away To other blooms along the vine. I loved you more than words could say, Yet love should never beg to stay. A rose must guard her silent pride, Not lose herself along the way. So I will not bend to the ground, Nor plead for wings that choose to roam. My petals carry quiet strength- A lonely rose still stands her own. The love I gave was never wrong, It proved the depth my heart could grow. And somewhere in this endless garden A kinder bird may someday know. For after storms and falling rain, The sky returns both calm and blue. New blossoms wake in gentle light, And love will find the heart that’s true. Do not bend to touch the ground, For someone who won’t turn around. Love was never meant to be A chain that steals your dignity.
