26) upset sea(tumult sea):

Morning train coming time

Silence of night getting afraid

Near window air not coming in

After some time hiting to glass

Coming late memory of one cloud

 

Centralising around  near sky at one place

Later  every where train people luggage on head

Crying childfull of her arms

One man’s shirt tearing

fell to dirt mass(thippe) or came from thippe(dirt mass)

It’s story will come to an end

Or started when like this

Dense smoke covers

will only one laugh float and come

where lip where eye

heating through out day yesterday rain drop

forgeting land water sky air

tiredness through out day night covering street

only dogs to it’s shoulder

that day is also not far

without calling

 

rain air chills memory are with me

beyond wall some controlled  shaking tone

one upset sea

is tumulting o arabbi make me to appear

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

27) inside one outside one:closed window closed door

Nothing is open

Nothing is seen

One is inside one is outsidein such dark who is inside

Who is outside

Which is inside

Which is inside’s outside

Seing stretching hand wall on oneside

Searching stretching hand wall on another side

Guess of  ground below roof above

 

When nothing exists all exists

Telling thathvapada(principle song) writer have you seen

What I have seen

One house one garden

One fire chakravyuha(wheel whirl)  burning bhaga bhaga

 

By cuting which flower which door opens

O musterd musturd

Beyond measure of  eye also  musturd lands

One swing

A female on that

 

That side valley this side channel

One clear cloud  also standing firm

In midst  of all these

 

Playing childern are playing

Singing girls are singing also

 In swinging swing, in shadow of honge tree(thamaala)

By thae side canteen

In that he drinking tea

Without knowing whose  steps whose talks

In mind only  drops  paper boats in water

Those who came to carry

Time of shouting calling what does they know

He has already gone now

Long distance

Strugling with his dark and light

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

28) on the day of going to sandy(santhe,market)):

On the day on which  all have gone to sandy

Really he may not go

A woman to be seensun may not see

 

At the time of sunset

Siting in balcany

May not see anything in a flash

he may not  hear fearing  screaming bird tone

is there excuse to such person also

 

sent calls memories coming standing

he may not observe rolling falling hill

is is seen by another one only

 

peculear person  learn to laugh a little

has learnt now  now inside his underwear

one ant has entered

face withou coming to his notice

is getting many shapes

few times  saint few times illused

has returned to town forest

 

tomorrow he will also come to sandy l

ike all others

what shall I do without coming

individuality(privacy) would have gone

to play fun(gambling) and  to smell

dried up fallen flower garlands

he will surely come

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

29)window:

How without window to sleeping room

Without window what even if palace

that is jail only tells lovely queen pity(papa)

am I not by your side in bed

tells

you also by my side in  king’s throne

in suitable auditorium,in various recreations

dance drama song fancy  dress competition

swoord fight knife fight now and then

bringing magicians

making to play funs

bird from hat fire from mouth

from eye and nose smoke flood

hunting animals travel to luxury  places visit to dams

daily exerciseaccording to weather in steam or cold water  pond bath

in midst of garden flowers walk as flower

cool drinks tasty food

ancient royal house here only window is bared

 

butdream without window

without window  moon

without window good residence

without window never heard before song

without   window  body hairs(erection?)

which

carver(sculpturist) make to break walls

 

fresh frame of lebanon tree

on both sides and to that black beete bamboo(bidiri?)

on both sides creeper house(lathakunja…….?)

below in central region  pond

in that opond two swans

hanging  to neck of one another

to mind that fate itself has done

as though keeping window to peep

below streetscarts males females childern

foreign travellers thei talks  dresses

 

did his mind heard talk of carver

his mind

 

then only had happened to births and births

o my lovely queen to you I am debter

this is mine window

let fly and go prana bird through this only

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

31)balcony:

Behind hill cloud has stood stagnant

Hill firm cloud non mooving

Blue sky is behind allmy mind only is  unfirm(fickle)

It has already mooved  miles together

Leaving my body here only

 

Mind carry this body also

To hill  make wings to come

Let clouds also moov

To baked land pouring rain

Let there be mooving rain bow

Let  appear at the time when I come to balcony

 

To start from beginning again is it time

Or to sit and observe from where to begin

All are like mixed photographs

Without considering time moovment has mixed  today

Whatevever lifted and seen one onlywhere ever kept

From wherever  played one only

One brings another

Like orphan words

God I am  non eshwara today standing in front of  balcony

Will see hill will see tree because

You are not present behind them I know

 

Leaves shake due to your breath

Hill is sleeping in your dependency in your dependency

This is last belief

See birds sounds

 

In this arabbi land

You have sent them  as though for my consolation

The rice grains which I spilled day before yesterday 

disappeared on that day only

today I wll bring and spill  still more they may come

without my presence when I  am  present,they see me with  doubt

( romour) this much romour(doubt)

aha shadows   of mooving clouds  how they are passing on hill

 

like owner smearing body

his pet animal with affection

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

32) valcano:

Ancient valcano spit burning soil

Hill field valley slope ahlimestone

No beautiful tree  can grow in  this land

No beautiful  flowers are seen place

Mountain has slept like elephant twinklin electric lamp

it’s eye

cover of snow  moon light chills

morning and evening for ever

it lays down always  it steals and sees

I steal and see it

 

After singing cover sleep clever child

Air hits on window glass

 

Rata rata

I cover and sleep like lovely child myself mother

Coming out from  mother’s  bringing knee womb will bend to chest

In  my  body heat only body gets heated

About self only for that onlt you graced me lonelinesswhen mind matures

At this age also you made me  aragini(parrot) and kept

Not able to bear weight of memories distant parrot I am

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

33)birds and cats:

Birds in balcony

Pecking wheat pieces

Each peck without missing goal

and their thin beautiful legs

wabling to weight of lovely body

on that side wollen masses as though to hrat sun lightlater submiting this responsibility to wingsare siting by side of  wall  sanaada(……………….?) cats

in their eyesacting of neutrality still vision

can go like ballistic missiles to inter continents

they also wait for morning hunte

even after seing sudenly flying birds

siting as though not seing

awaits original hunger of creation

when chance  is got sudenly jumping

to get satisfied

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

34) words(sounds):

sent however much  will there not be resending of words  sounds scentences once

kept steps only will again reappear,path once gone will

reappear once

passing through  the middle of green bushes  one

blackwhite mixed catpersian and local

is coming with me onlyon university road

friend oof my walk where nobody exists still

myself that also silentwollen boot like

it’s paws will not sound even of dry leaves also

 

evening sun has to hills has made to wear golden bud(muguli………..?)

like temples they appear as  heaven desiring

so far like paper figures flat  shapes to evening brightness

having ups and downs rise and fall are lively mountains.

Where are lamas  eyes search. In these arabbi hills

nobodi is there,probably the sheeps and  sheep watchers   who are not seen to this much  distance slowly dark is descending

from those sides

 

within this time only my friend cat is invisible to this evening

painting smear of still more secrecy

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

35)poets:

how many poets how many tones

in this world

to one who goes to search difference between them

will he understand very delicates

few like imitation of fews few as comparisonof few

between imitation and resemblence only imaginatory line

few like crying calling childern  becoming silent type

few like loosing tone of speakers  after screaming

n interval much more

these tones ans echos in this  globe doom(gola gummata)

increase my silence still more,to noise pollution getting head ache(bored)

closing ears gone person I am. What shall I do

with  my sounds  in my own silence,how many times I have not

 done self killing,still noise within chests have not hiden

 

neethse sat for ten years getting tired

holderlin for forty years

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

36)temporariness(for time beiggness):

In one moment many moments

In time beingness  preferenceand infinity-experience of

temporariness to man

if it were to suppley all these that itself is life of one dimension

but it doesnot happen so

have to  wonder by seing face in broken mirror

will one mirror sees another mirror

life living in temporariness  taking birth and death

in one birth only  takes(lifts) how many incarnations

 

attention of violinist and  attention of violin bow

is it possible to unite for both of them-his vision is not on anything still

can’t be told it is introvert or extrovert

in early morning moments  even drops are stagnant

is it possible for it’s tone to be like that,it is contineous

moovercan’t say starting from where reaches to where

 

even watchman  of apartments also  shouts to call his

aquainted

 that shout is heard to himturns and sees

but it passes beyond him also

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

37) consciousness:

When to sit when tostand and moov

We feel as though knowing all

consciousless consciousness through  sense organs world

running it’s  work of business(?)

wables erects

as it is from very distant centre

will be waiting for centreless  central news

shopenhaver hydegar nietshe

to hirannayya also   namaskarams to all jivies(lives)

telling like this hits now and then-

sleeps getting tired

 

all enquiries flows are behind it

like sentences in front of coma(kaama,)-to

obstructionless hurry moderate obstruction  I mean slow(saavadhaana(………….?)

listen distant sound wave of beginning ocean

wave  of air beyond hill-

 

became more dependency syill fear of sword

always runing back literally

becomes lust becomes time full stop imposible-

feeling like this

mooves forward.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

38)beket and joys:

The moment when fire tongue becomes neutral

Like cool wanter pond

When matters(enquiries?) arise silence embraces

Like atmosphere  they will from all sides

When they have not become flood thought of building dam

Why  or  to sky  why hurry of joining ladder

Right like electricity if scholarship  flows by itself

 

Desiring for  permanence to lose momemts

in real loss moments through   out  time

 sits solidified,when did clouds changeflowers when did they blosomed

 when mind became afternoon jasmine-how  nature of expansion

(extension) sudenly touched to it fragrance on all sides

Now it is time to pour water to plants

 

One matter two pairs of eyes

Only one tone two airs of ears

Matter is not one it is one milk path

Tone is not one-it is already symphony

Let there be patience of  listening to delicates-

let  urgencynot disturb and kill them

 

one drowning in world sorrow

another  becoming same(that much)  introvert at depth

 

like players siting on that and this side that desire(animisharu……………?)

have forgoten shit of lifting leaf-

to whom there is solidified   spatica vision

though seems to wait for somebody is not waiting for anybody

though feeling liketo go nobody to rise

though left not leaving memory-forgetfullness

Words have come and tied in birth wheels

Is knocking door-people coming without telling

Who from where why

Probablyeskimo group which brought ice in bucket

Who will get afraid

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

39) path:

Bird flies in sky path

Line will not appear steps are not seen in reality

Which path, not to have  path is  path’s

Bitter (hard)reality or sunlight won’t show

Dark won’t fadesky means like that shapeless

Shape eekaara(……………..?)

In water will they leave  fish steps   marks

There  water  path  is only path-river and ocean

Even when flowd  getting tumult by standing

Some times what  I felt  sound of sea

To get liberated from this path is prayer

that  echoing in sky is peculear

earth only is separate wheather soil or sand

no opposite to path

path is one humanimagination

like this  response of newness  are here only

is  opposite(against)

 

among thousand steps dancer wants to  keep

one step in different way-that

 

response is of legof leg chain’s

either for water lasses ,or for sky godesses

this is impossiblethey in impossible

binded, only humans dance independently

not only thatmake dolls to dance

keeping one word with another see

detach built houses

 

response of leg misses path-it does not miss also

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

40)memory(smruthi):

Sunseting dark covering every where,birds also

Joining their coresponding nests sounds also stoping

Flowers to be blosomed  at night also blosoming

For heat(sweat)  water  smell sprinkled on jallery also stoping

If little time is passed wind on sea  also  firm(non moovig).s

 

Friend who came to  drinks party also went off

Sending them away

Securing doorpilatha  that  means  governer pilot

Is walking from that side to this side  in kings mansion(……………….?.)

Trying to remember something

What is that what is that  among those  onewhat he asked

What I told

 

With passing time memory fading(gliding)  wonder

Like loosened underwear it’s presence till now is wonder

Previously heard in others now   he is experiencing directly himself

Memory may cometoday or tomorrow-sudenly like this

In drinks party holding path   of talk and talk

While wandering   time wait  beyond time and place

Till that time wait man wait

Waiting only  ls punishment to punisher

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

41)experience of reality:

As though getting down into water in bear foot water

should soround us,as though standing in naked body

that field(bayalu,shunya) should  cover  us-

we feel.we have no fresh experience of reality

we wantsearch sohoorchapal bajar

in dirty land of monda

sweat  as though smearung oil to body

first it should be washed cleanly

aha what hurry for that there should we not carry burdens

 labourer   keeping got  wages in pocket

drinking available tea there only,remember thousands of  people drunk

glass  keeping lipswill be drunken by further thousands of

.   people will drink,in this great chain you are a hooklet it do you humble

In standing place only speaking like a saint

surendering to silencewhat  native country or foreign

you who are one  desiring to build thousand pillars  temple

to your desired god this godess itsrlf is maya(magic)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

42) possibilities of poetry:

Possibilities of poetry will always be  presentit is poer

Protecting  feelings  as it is

While opening door keeping step outside,wheather I have

forgoten purse putting hand to pocketor when really forgoten

in one hand dirt’s tied and kept bundle in other hand

office bagor while returning from shop

when childern are crying or laughing

how reality dances in front of our eye

like sheeps telling be be which is this feel

it’s leg is not seen ,it’sbody is not seen noot even face also

it’s dance is therefew times getting tired in small  rhythm(laya)

trees branches to blow of air here and there giving up sky

hill only remaining firm

what is beyond it ,nothing is there nothing needed from that side also

from same paper bodies one another is appearing

 at same time crossed body figure,man who is not satisfied

embraces air

 

even while embracing  beloved

in one birth how many  births every time  liberation to man

 

again  reappears  as child as young as old

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

43)depth of fate:

There on scientist here one astrologer

Both of them tried to see depth of fate

To one microscope  and telescope

To another thread tied to ear thick glass sect

And dice(kavade)

Both of them won’t talk mutually

Their languages are different ones is marga anothr’s is loval(desi)

All god decided(writen)

Inexorable andineluctable

 

Still to house god separate worship

In town temple Saturday  service

 

Which is incidental which is fate

Stood  grass store and

Lost needle among these two

Hens pecking grains before rain only

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

44)highness(supremacy):

High words won’t go in search of support(evedence)

No evidence is needed to them

they won’t stand on anything

like light they shine sudenly

skahespeare was knowing this

his igh roles also speak high words

to those words   no attachment of wickedness

they have come from  some depths directly

like response of self witness(self evdence)

in low tone edger knows ithis such words while

time of joining with himin that there was his liberation also

omly

we will not be knowing

under wheel of fire only old lear

rotating ,every man rotates

in paste of fire man should become pure gold

 

don’t in despair mind

in  departure also there is  union (sankramana)

Tolstoy was knowing

Man resurects only when there fall

And not to wait for claps is great farewell

When sound is heard you would have gone far away

,wheather it is teasing not willing to know is your highness

And seperation(identity)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

45)universal  power:

Prana should live in midst of universal powers

What is it sunrise  what is sunset

What a  lightningr   rain  thunder what chills

  hunger sleep and requirements of own bodys

nothing is in it’s hold

holding stearing who treads accelerater

no count of it,along full high way is

graveyard of cats

just now having body scratched biten runing back

has come fallen on steps  such one

opening eye to sound of  coming  and going  people

sees ,preference to  self protection still

what about fate of ancesters

 

man-he is also all right in midst of great powers

which are not under his control has to find out own path

but he knows  now  without these powers he is not there

these powers are coverings(aavarana) they themselves

are like ocean fire

n oven in lampin hoy soil thinks about sun ,writes letter to moon

ahaho half burnt on fire woob line ofants,being upset

have seen some of them being killed(sacrificed),have returned

later are mooving forward no otner way

he is there without interfearing with anything

merely seingsmoking cigaret as though he is another planet

later he also  on one day pulls horse of rifle

to his head only

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

46)house:

In super market breaking sound of porcelin

Prayer of repentence from all sides

 

A cloud has fallen on road side

Kid grasses are  looking with wonder

 

Asiatic people siting in river banks

Are  engaged in silent anouncement

 

To little birds pea nuts(barani  gram?)

They themslves have made to grow forests and hills

 

Land’s berchappa (fearer)whom he  makes to fear

We know it’s secret

 

Simply ssimply

Where ever we go house tell birds

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

47)last chance:

Through holes of blanket view of stars

Let body become  sky

Without footwear cross burning desert

In one cave how many years trance(samadhi)

 

Dark  inside nothing outside

if eyes are  closedshunya(zero,bayalu)if opened  nothing other(ananya)

 

when I  call three times come out

last chance

 

otherwise you will runacross botom of sea  tortoise incarnater

you can’t reach place  which you should reach  forever

if you walk on one side  you will moov another side

you have come to earlier place only-even recognition of that

 place also not possible you will hit allallayi(labo labo)

 

above manvantharas are  are changing

seng their shadows you are afraid

 

green coloured water plants water whirls inner

oyilugalu(……………?) hills and falls

have caught you

freedom of sky

fish lasses  sing and praisefollowing back of fish odoured

(mathsyagandhi)for ten thousand years

you  passing away

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

48)times:

there is one time in which we feel we should be in midst of people

On left and right always somebody is needed,should be on stage

Or should be sting in function(assembly)

Should speak something should rise one question

Or  should answer

Few intoxicating postures  drinks in one hand

 cigaret on other handsentence coming from opening lip

though stops at middle it is one peculear special expectation

to each stand(openion) untellable meaning

always  sounding  telephoneor calling bell

many letters not answer some remaining to be answered

to give send off coming near door or welcomings

 

feeling to not to see anybody another

even flowers becoming paper pieces fear

even naturak walk  fear of becoming false posture,even to dry cough

fear of appearing of meaning fear of talk becoming  metapher

and mirror’s original(adima,begining) fear

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

49)through matter:

Reality means all are correct at end also feeling time

In door hand fingures being caught  shakes vila vila

Hard picture of reality why in blood only?is it

Sunrise or sunset?undescribable

Is real leave it like that

Stain of white ground is also stain only,though it does not search relations,relations come  near it   by themselves.

that is meaning producing meaning expansion and origin(nishpatthi)

rise and fall of whole civilisations

 

will anybody hold to light and see?

Light means it is one unseen spirit-it apppears

Through matter.-to that matter  hoe if called reality?

 

Nijaguna yogi what is your reality?

Soon aftre speech becoming false is true

As soon held flowing  butterfly side

Image in water which is disturbed  as soon as touched

All are true still not true

 

Top(buguri) stands only when it rotates fast

Insect on stream is standing  though touching as though

not touching

necessity of  knowing  not existing  as believing as existing

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

50)story of story:

Matter and style are not two but one only like this artists 

Want to believe

but few times style not suitable to matter

matter not suitable style-both are true

morning to sky

sky to morning

yoga not illucing  as two by anybody

when it is possible for art?

Or one filling wabling honey nest(huttu,hottu?)

Attractive outside  very sweet inside

What is it’s secret?

 clear feels giving matching forms giving language

mind not missing given word

in such precious time(moment.muhurtha) dual disappears

then only dancer and dance become one

then only to man  feels maturity is one only

winter(maagi) held grishma  involving year

season wheel rotating  moovment is  eternal

 

 

still dancer you also got tired few times

saw among leg chains  one  falling

 

many people saw your seing

to tollerate all these is concentration

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
