LOVE

Waves love the banks;
Clouds love the sky;
Fishes love the water;
Wind loves the earth!
Love is not only between two;
There is no need to gender at all;
As well as even if other kind;
Love is an inner blossom!
The person who makes love,
Will not expect anything else,
Other than love; he is the one
Who is showering not receiving!
P.S.MANIVANNAN

FACTUAL MEMORY

Consciousness is a continuous river;
It is the state of being conscious;
Knowing is one’s own mind;
Mind makes remembrance of memory!

Memory is divided into two;
One is psychological and another is factual;
Psychological memories go on disturbing;
To burden and to destroy our aliveness!

Aliveness means being the present;
Shall we drop our psychological memory;
When there is no psychological memory,
The factual memory is very accurate!

Accurate means just the fact;
Bare fact, naked fact; that
Is in accordance with reality;
Reflects it like a mirror!

BEAUTY OF LIFE

Life is so immensely beautiful;
When it is only lived totally!
But not to be afraid to live, naturally
Becomes profound and gains depth!

Life in its variety and richness, has
Its joys and sadness; its blessing’s
Its curses; its days and dark nights;
Its childhood; its youth and old age!

The child has a kind of beauty;
Youth also has its own beauty;
Both of these are shallow; they
Are more physical and less spiritual!

But old age has a kind of luminosity;
Something like a flame inside;
Very deep; filtering through; fulfillment!
The rays come outside too!

Death is also a kind of beauty
When it is only lived totally!
Death is simply the last statement;
When it comes we can relax!

Only if we live life with reverence,
With totality; there will be a relaxation;
As the child relaxes in his mother’s lap;
There will be a prayer with gratitude!

PARADOX

Wound gives pain;
Pain is a fire; It
Burns the rubbish;
Pain means cleansing!

Consciousness is purified
Through pain;Pain is
The price for healing!Accept
The pain for the pleasure!

Agony is not a curse;
It is a blessing;Ecstasy;
It is only out of agony;Accept
The agony for the Ecstasy!

Darkness brings the dawn;
Out of the dark night
The morning is born;Accept
The darkness for dawn!

Everything has a price;
We have to pay for it;
Acceptance is the bridge
Of paradox and life!
P.S.MANIVANNAN.

PARENTS !

Parents have some ambitious;
They would like to fulfill
Through their children;They
Want to use the children!

Using the children as a
Means, violence has come in;
As against their individuality;
And children are destroyed!

Destroying children means,
Parents are molding them;
According to their desires;
This looks so unjust!

Unjust is parents are
Forgetting that they have
Own soul;As they may not
Know about soul and GOD!

P.S.MANIVANNAN.

GUEST BECOMES HOST

Poetry is like love;
No need to learn it;
Poetry is love of life;
No one can teach it!

It is a celebration of life;
Give rein to imagination;
A poet is certainly closer
To god than the priest!

Priest can only preach;
But poet can practice;
Whenever he feels joyous
Then it flows as its own!

Poetry cannot be done;
It is not man made;
Poetry sometimes happens;
It flows in many ways!

Poet is neither the doer, nor
The knower of the moment;
It is just like a Guest;
But becomes a Host!

We shall wait for it;
Not to desire for it;
Allow it ,when it comes,
Totally immerse into it!

P.S.Manivannan.

OASIS

Don't allow anybody
To drive on you; as well
As don't do the same;
Stand on your own!

Own means if somebody
Condemn , you are so cheap;
Don't feel yourself cheap;
Think twice before you act wise!

Act means if somebody
Tell, you are so great
You feel yourself great
Be great, let others to be!

Like to be an oasis;
Oasis means garden in desert;
Guilty dates and water,
shade to relax as benison!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

Beauty is reality

Beauty is truth; truth is
Beauty; Beauty is reality;
Beauty is eternal; it is
Beyond life and death!

Life and death are
Only man made ideas;
In real beauty there is
Neither life nor ideas;

Beauty is only when
We can push aside
All man made ideas;
Then there will be reality!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

I

The I wants to control;
It has been controlling
All our past steps;and
Our present and future!

with so much of I,
A right step can not
Be taken at all;
The is the poison!

Poison means it will
Destroy,whatsoever
we do it creates ;
Ugliness all around it!

I, me, mine all
Are out of mind;
Out of mind our all
Steps are inappropriate!

Appropriate means not,
To act out of mind;
when you are not
It will be appropriate

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

DEPENDENCE

Backing the farmer is
The duty of the society;
Because they are the feeders;
And back bone of the society!

There is no teacher without
Disciples, as well as leaders;
But they are leading our life;
And also the prime mentors!

People are thanking the vendors;
But they are entertaining customers;
Because goods are transferred;and
Needs are satisfied by them!

Art and artist are fundamentally,
Supported by the fans;but they
Are depending on each other;
By making honor and jubilant!

Everybody is depending upon
Somebody;nobody is independent
Independence means self
discipline and deciding as their wish
