Poems of Nihal and some statements

Nihal lives in Sri Lanka
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defiled



You smelt the flower

And changed it

You sighed at its beauty

And defiled it

You picked it

And it ceased to be.

16/10/2008

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Everything is Everything Else



Nothing exists alone

Remember, you are

Because of me

And I am

Because of you.

We are one

And yet not so.

Like the strands that make the rope.

Like the threads that make the web.

Like the stars that make the cosmos.

Everything is everything else.

Goodness --A Statement



Goodness

Is nothing

Till you

Practice it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever will be



Gone, gone, gone… forever gone

From what is

To what never was,

But yet is-

And forever, will be.

A Statement – Life

2005

You must be like a fly,

Sip from the sweetest flower

And suck from the rottenest flesh.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




A Statement - Life (i)



Find enrichment

In blindness

In sorrow

In pain

In misery

In fear

And in death itself

Then you have lived.

25/06/2007






A Statement - Life (iii)



If you know happiness

And not sorrow

If you know pleasure

And not pain

If you know beauty

And not ugliness

Having lived thus

You have not lived at all.

A Statement – Defeat evil



If it is necessary

To defeat evil

You can do so

Only,

By not

Succumbing

To it

Thank you for the Music

(The Voice of the Drongo at Dawn)

The love cry

That pierced

The earth

And forever Brought forth,

Sweet melody

From the green

Roof of the

Green heaven

Is still heard

In Munnar

Will it be there

When I come

Next?

Hotel Tall Trees, Munnar, Kerala.

The Glow Defiled



The night is black,

The flame ablaze,

And dancing.



Emerges a moth

From the gloom

Circling the flame.



With every flutter

The flame moves

Dancing with the moth,



In frenzied trance,

With unbearable joy

It plunges in.



Consuming,

It is consumed.

The flame brighter

The glow defiled.



2006


The Parched Land – The Offering



The grass that I cut

Now heavy on my head

Was moaning in the wind.

Pleading for rain.



The child that I bore

Now dead at my breast

Was aching in my womb

Pleading for life.



The grass,

I will burn

To the spirit

Of my child.
