Ceramic act, earthen ware
millions splashed randomly
not a penny to spare
craft adorning vast palaces,
bare minimum living, hard to bear,
fare isn’t fair, utter waste of a prayer

Suffocation
Lost in the city
where camels glitter
diamonds on taps,
gold in litter
flutters in gutters,
Rich and poor
contrasting fates
soul suffocates
before long
Rugs and riches – Abu Dhabi Sheik Zayed Masjid interiors
lamps, chandeliers
carpets of thousand colours
granite, marble tiles,
mother Earth riles
such expense
at whose cost
piercing million holes
extracting more and more
humanity living folklore
happily ever after
I have shown you through my humble lens the outside of the majestic Sheikh Zayed Masjid, let’s now see the colour of interiors and fascinating patterns. Absolutely amazing human creation. There is a bit more thought provoking poem at the top on how humanity is using earth treasures, it’s minerals, energy assuming this will last forever. Have we thought about sustainable solution for our future generations.
Reflections
Faces change
beyond recognition
Shine and worth
doesn’t last
Lies unravel fast,
Clergy loses its sect
leaders forget their act
Reflections on a mirror
of truth and fact
Rosary
Wine and prayer mixes
Destiny declares,
fate fixes
heart colour changes,
undermine jinxes
thoughts repeated
in fours and sixes
Till redemption
Here is a more rebellious thought:
Tasbeeh
Allah Hu, Allah hu
Haq
Allah Hu, Allah hu
Qalander declares
Breaking his beads
Dancing on his feet
Control not seen
for miles
Rosaries, prayers
Nothing sedate
My lord my mate
Fill my heart
With love
Remove hate
These fools with beards
Long robes, black or white
crosses, rosaries in their hands
They repeat and pretend
You belong to them
Rest of us be ashamed
for our sins and our deeds
In young minds and hearts
hatred they seed
Hypocrisy they lead
Nothing they concede
Such closed hearts
Where to end
Where to start
Qalandar, the mad
Uncontrollable
dancing
Darwish I follow
Rest is just a game
Shallow and hollow
Allah hu, Allah hu
Haq
Allah hu, Allah hu
Perfume
Smell my soul
O beloved
Sweet waft of roses
You will find you
more than me
Such is the plea
of this insolvent
beggar
Trinkets
Metropolis
of diamonds, silver,
Sparkling gold
Shiny dwellings,
flashy carriages
Nothing old
Life, love, lust,
All on sale
All being sold
Lies are fashion
Truth was never
ever told
Hold and hold
breath
till you depart
Sleepy :-)
I am so sleepy
lend me a shoulder
Sleep on the couch
on a barren boulder
Getting tired quickly
balder and older
Eternal kiss
Your kiss stays
red rose in
eternal full bloom
without gloom
So does your love
even your lust stays
in million passionate ways
when you are around
life becomes a moment
that moment infinity long
when you sing that song
of infectious affection
I get lost forever
Don’t believe me
Come into my eyes
See. Feel. There are no lies
Between us
Kiss me, thus
Let me
Live forever
Please 
In search of light
thousand
colours beacon
of hope and love
is the key
where I be
if not in your heart
