Snow





 birds hold breath as
 a lone soul cracks mystic-frost. 
winter feigns, again

pain






Cosmic thorn ...breaches self

and cries - in her touch 

a lullaby is born

Storm

STORM....in three strokes 

Winds insane weave
dreams of destruction
unmasked is life


Rain drops fall
to maim .. to undo
life ....yet.. fertile


Clouds breathe life
in gentle steps- life
returns home

Mother...

ನೀನೇ 
ಮಗುವಾದೆ 
ತಾಯಾಗಿ 
ತಾಯ್ತನವು ಕಣ್ಣೀರ ಹನಿಯಾಗಿ 
ಮಗುವಿನ  ನಗುವಾಯ್ತು ....ಹಾಯಾಗಿ 
ಹಾಡಾಗಿ.

Desert ... and.... Heat

Sand moves  and becomes time
Time .....in hours minutes and seconds...
Time......in moments
Who says ....Time is frozen?
Who says ...Time waits?

Moments .....
Neither true .. nor ... False
Neither weak ... nor .. Strong..
Moments are moments....
grains of sand
that move....

a daze fills my self....
getting lost .....slowly 
steadily....grain by grain 
Letters meet and become words 
the heart feels the heat 
of the desert .....
I feel life ....not fertile ... not ...  barren 
I yearn for the morning sun 
the chirping cricket of the night pristine...
the first drop of rain....
just like the tribe....
of grains ... of sand...

Come my love .....
come out... of moments.....
of my yearnings and desires.....
of  the heat.. of being barren...
of the moistness of .. being fertile...
Speak my love.....
in my years of solitude....
in to my heart....
where every moment.. waits
only for you .
and time....
is infinite......and immobile....

The song of Anjaan Peer - Dance

What am I doing 
men and women , 
boys in mere loin cloth ask me
Ask the cloud I say 
it is white and full of wisdom
For it moves not on the will of its own 
For it pours rain not on the will of its own
I am the cloud ....so I dance
being not  of my own 

Why do I dance 
men and women
boys in mere loin cloth ask me
Their eyes are full of wonder
Ask the wave .. I say
It goes up and goes down 
For the ocean  is filled with wave and the wave is filled by  the ocean 
For who fills the ocean  also makes the waves
I am the wave ....so I hold peace
in my bosom and in my womb
is my being .. not of my own 

Why do I hold peace
men and women 
boys in mere  loin cloth ask me
Their mouths are open and their look up towards the sky
Ask the tree I say 
For the tree holds the food for its young
and water for its newborn 
For it holds dreams for the earth ....and life for the cattle
not a claim is claimed.. not a voice is heard
in my dwelling ...in my home...peace
is the being .... out of my own 

what else can I do  I ask myself ?
as I settle down by the tea pot
to behold peace ... to be a tree.. to dance .. to be a wave ...
to hold dreams for the earth ... and life for the living..
to be a boy with only a loin cloth ..and to fill the eyes with wonder as they live..

To long for you my  Maula....
is no less human ...
For you to reach out to...
is no less divine...

Song of Anjaan Peer : Ecstasy









Is it a journey.....

into a land of no land

no time...

no space..



I am no longer aware....

not that I  choose to be so ..

what is being unaware..

when you are every where.

Out of me... and inside.

with in and with out..




Is it foolish then....

to yearn for you 

in the form .....

of the spoken word

or the sound of the breath

or even silence..

as I walk...

this journey.....in solitude




I find.... my self 

searching for that one ....east

where I  shall find the sun rising...

or that .. one ...whisper from the bosom of mountains

make me awake....

I am devoid of directions....

and in this being.... I become




a Darvesh....




St 1. questions.

..
St 2. expanding awareness. 


St 3 yearning for physical manifestation.....aum/prana/mauna.

St.4....the search..


St a 5...the simplicity of becoming.....


the last word..... the being

around a cool corner




Here .... I touch ...you  ...
the....moist.. earth......no its not ...
actually its feels... like a stone .....
life less.....motion less and time less.....all of which
is not me.......
You tell me......its all over....and give it back ......the kiss
for the life in ur hand......and you dont talk.... you dont cry...you dont allow me to...
either.....


I begin to close my eyes.... and hold the cold palms on my face to wipe
the sweat......of fear.... of loosing you....for ever....
Thats the moment......I know...again... that  love is true
I know that to loose you.......is no fiction....
its real......
the rock speaks.... the truth and only the truth... and in nights of may some ...


.stones arent supposed to be cool


Strangers... we were... and 
in tru love strangers we became......

The song of Anjaan Peer - I miss you









May be .. it is ... the wine  
Truth is intoxicating too
And so is your love
as I move from the mundane
come along ...o .my beloved....in real...as
I walk......your life  ....and breathe ......your wisdom


O my maula
why  come into a life
as a dream...... be real.... be a vision...
in flesh and bones, in  sweat and in breath
Should I  wait for you to come .. into  my life.. when 
I know I am the one ....in your bosom...
sacred and mystic........you keep me alive....and  so I live


why  pick a fight
that you have no desire to endure
why  loose a fight
that you have already won
What do I say to you ... I wonder
In my stillness you stay...... as the silence
In my wonder you remain as.......the present


Why you had to go?
and where did you go?
I grow old by the hour....yet
the times of my life appear frozen
and framed ...the leaf that fell
and the butterfly that flapped.... its wings
were real........indeed  the timeless waves reach out...
Restless... I am ....in my sleep ... you are the relentlessness.. of my dream

O my maula
to which world you dissappeared
and from which world you came...will I ever know ?
I dont know ...and I dont even care for it sometimes
The world... this one ... or that .... or any other 
are all replete....just with a few moments of togetherness
just as ....a full moon caught ....... in a mirror
anointed..... untouched




Anjaan Peer = Unknown mystic....















Hour



by the hour
the girl calls- tears in
her own  earth

her own earth
dampness scorched -clay feet
she knows not

she knows not
the night and the day
darkness stays

darkness stays
dreams  run down bruised cheeks
yet she smiles

yet she smiles
yet  she plays  the swing 
time of life

Prompt :Hour
