Shimmering Joy

Shimmering Joy

The eastward breeze brings thoughts and hope 

My love, her divine beauty like none other

Golden scarf blessed by the sun

Blue eyes deep like the ocean

I love thee with all my soul and heart

our union be done forever thy art

your radiance is of legendary stature

A queen in her realm, the universe to 

rule. Chilly winds and water attempt in 

the way. Stalwart your warm love

The clouds may cover thy smile in vain

Only the gods understand thy rhythm.

Time and tide wait for none, but you 

 are my one.

The Crossing

The Crossing

Upon the bridge of initiation I tread forward

The iron grip of time pushes me deeper

Settled by  a false dawn of calm I surrender to

True questions continue to circle unanswered. 

The cold breath of nature descends upon me

crisp and silent, it pierces through the layers

It swirls around and destroys the stench 

of envy, desire and anger. Clouds of illusion

wither away revealing the lone sentiment within.

The pace hastens henceforth, overcoming fatigue

in its stride. The winter solstice offers its serenity 

amidst the storm. So it begins. Again.

Solstice Of My Heart

Solstice Of My Heart

The call of the heart wants to move nowhere

by your side, comfortable in harmony

A state of silence, this bond never tears

the tides of life, your love the lost honey

Sweet as what I remember

Pure as the rhythm of destiny

A pale shadow of the past 

life lived once, will simply pass

the curtain dawns on us all, 

coupled or alone 

but I know certainly, 

this love fated to burn intensely

till the end of eternity

In accordance to the results of nature

though I continue to fight, for love is mature. 

Worth the chance, time fights back

strength and heart, reigns the mind

Unite the rivers of time and love 

shall flow.

~Nikhil Srinidhi~

The Crystal Thread

Days move faster than yore

As thoughts converge to meaning, a simple question

The momentarily beat of thy colour

It shall require the harmony of many

hope and energy the base truth of 

of mountains ancient and renewed

Echad B'echad. soul of fire

bring me to the front of thy thread

Your voice flows, resonates

primordial logic of thy sustenance.

One is all as all is one. Bring me to the light.

The first shot

The pursuit of truth It seems

Is Met with alternatives.

Should the mind play 

A greater steadfast role

In ensuring realms of peace 

Be grounded within the values 

Or a playground of scenes draws

Indiscipline...be quick to move. For 

The personal shame endured, is torture in its light...belief and love can be toxic if uncontrolled

Static Faith

In the blink of an eye, lightning struck

Played by my own emotions, just my luck

The truth lies within my heart

The self deflated, fate's art...

I accept reasons from above

Never defined this concept of love. 

Silenced simply by the bolt

every look stirs up a jolt.

-Nikhil-

By the Glass

Past the end of day, ahead of dawn
my patience persists despite a yawn.

A dream, a thought lost in the cold
Tame ego, affection more bold.

 Wait for thy arrival, amidst the glass
A traditional dusk filled with class.

-Nikhil-
