Walking Down Fox Court
Sometimes I loiter down Fox Cout, my neighborhood, In a stream of consciousness ruminating, What have I ever done, what will I do In the remaining short time on earth. My reverie is broken at times As I think of the magic of Fox Ct., Its cute boxy row houses, Standing silently in impeccable […]
I Will Still Love You to the World’s End
It is set now that you will leave Suffern and with it me – A crest of your destructive activities in the name of sorrow and nirvana, But I still feel our love runs deeply abundant even up to an upheaval – So I do not know who is more insane between us. I […]
The Reverberations of Kashmir
In the high sculptured mountain peaks, In the scintillating calm lakes, The music of Kashmir reverberates Like a line in a poem. Everything in Kashmir is a vast tapestry, Echoing eternity. Food and drink were important to Kashmiris But the search for the spirit was more so, Life to them was just an excuse […]
The Rhapsody of Kashmir
Kashmir – a dream of the soul, A rhapsody of eternity. Scintillating mosaic of mountains and lakes, Rivers and trees, flowers and meadows – A heaven on earth. Nature’s majesty beckoned man’s imagination To create a symphony, A song everlasting. Kashmir was not meant to be of the world, But a place […]
Aspirations of Soul
Why is there so much struggle and confusion in life When aspirations of soul are apparent, What has been given to us is quite substantial, To deny it would be crass foolishness. When will the lust of materials vanish, When will the fires of ego be quenched, When will the frenzy of desires be […]

Remembrance of Lake George
Lake George, a remnant of the last ice age, Stands towering in our consciousness, Little remembering its birth pangs. When you first see it You are blown off your feet, By its majesty, size, and scope. Its tranquility is uplifting, Its grace shames our human level, It is selfless but yet pervasive. […]
Stillness of Being
Mind plots revolutions, But inner being wants harmony. Life came with music, But world moves by agenda. Childhood was a pristine dream, But wisdom turned that into a project. Ambitions vault our existence, Energy seethes from our pores. But we came with a faith, Our elements beckon tranquility. There is […]
The World I Left Behind
When I reached David’s Point There was an epic change of scene, Trees rustled with a tune, water danced drunk, Light scintillated unblinkingly, time stilled echoingly. Moments melted into hours And then I woke from the reverie, The world looked eerily different, I felt possessed, The door of eternity seemed to have opened a […]
