Badass

she needed no warrant for her being
she believed in herself
a meanderer
a journeyer
with an unchained soul
she belonged to
no man, or
land

fearless
enigmatic
unapologetic
she embraced her madness, and
felt free in her wildness
she was a universe
of potpourri

badass was she

Unowned

not long ago, on a dark night
when the winds breathed wild
I had a momentary escapade
from my onerous life

my misty mind wandered
in a soft floating train
on a timeless journey
of the vast domain
O! what a vision it held for me
it was blissful enchanting reverie
the brilliance of the suns
the luminous moons
the ethereal oceans
all had me swooned

the secrets of the universe
I was determined to find
till a deafening roar
awoke my conscious mind

in an inexorable sweep
the trajectory was blown
a mirage, it was
it could never be owned

When I go...

when it's time, and
I fly off
into the
prismatic yonder
do not cry for me here
for here is not
where I will be
I may blend-in
with the gaia, aurora
or briny sea
whatever be
my transcension
know that
I did not die
I just winged away
with palpable
unbridled mirth
and, joy 

Time Traveling...

time traveling
from birth to death
is an enchanting
self-discovery
through
learning
unlearning
relearning
wiring
winding
unwinding
contracting
surrendering
and, expanding
through
the ever-changing
paradigms

a sojourn
so profound
that the traveler
knows no bounds

Nostalgia

here I am
and, there
wondering...

over the moments of yonder
intersected in mind
that bring back memories
some making sense
some irrelevant
learnings, unlearnt
that were relearnt
as the journey
stumbled through
it's twists and turns
as new souls connected
and, loved ones died
emotions crocheted
into a beguiled mesh
creating a mystical story
of a heart and mind
that has bled with tears
blossomed in love, and
basked in the glory of the light

here I am
and, there...

Belonging to Eternity

all our lives
we are made to believe
that we must live
to earn the goodwill
during our lifetime on earth
for the heavenly
afterlife experience
but it is not how it is
for there exists no time
there is only eternity, and
we are one soul changing forms
in the transient extraction
of timelessness
a combined amalgamation
of mass and energy
with an ad interim memory
moving with the universe
along with it's ever changing paradigms

we exist in the now, and
we exist in the then too!

Ignis Aurum Probat

here and there, in reality and dreams
lay her life, pristine and threadbare
altering with the seasons of time
as she moved on time after time after time

the eloquence of her simplicity
stood out amidst the guiled masks
masquerading everywhere
undeterred she remained
as she paved through
the complexities, trials and
tribulations that inquisitioned
her fortitude in her quest
she kept combing through the labyrinth
through signs known and unknown
to seek the eternal truth
her endurance absolute

Ignis aurum probat
refined after being tested in fire
her sacred sanctity unscathed
she radiated her inner purified light
