The Gold's Secret

The Gold's Secret 
                    - Jairam Kshirasagar
I sent my Destiny to roam the distant shores,
To bring me back the crown that I was longing for.
I pulled my Bad Luck close and whispered in its ear,
"Go trade yourself for fortune, and bring a better year."

I looked upon my wrist and told the ticking hand,
"Find me a golden hour in this gray and shifting sand."
I asked the stars and sages for a map to reach the light,
To bypass all the shadows and the tremors of the night.

But they returned together, with a silence deep and old,
And spoke to me the secret of the purest, finest gold:
"The ornament of beauty isn't birthed from easy breath,
It is forged in roaring furnaces, defying cold and death.

You ask for light," they told me, "but the light is born of flame,
You ask for luck, but victory is just a different name—
For the one who stood the beating, who stayed within the heat,
Who turned their bitter failures into rhythm for their feet.

So do not fear the anvil, and do not curse the blow,
The hammer is just sculpting the grace you’re meant to show.
The magic isn't coming from a sky of distant blue,
The magic is the fire... and the fire is making you."

-Jairam Kshirasagar

My Moonlit Serenade

My Moonlit Serenade, You gifted pain, a haunting cost, A treasure found, a love embossed.  My heart rejoiced, yet something remained,  An ache untamed, a sorrow unnamed. I lived, though joy felt frail, A lingering lack, a mournful wail. Devotion ran deep like a sacred tide,  In fleeting joy, yet emptiness inside.  Life was lived, but something stayed,  A whisper, a shadow, an unmet gaze. You're veiled, my unseen delight, In empty cups, a starless night. Where moments pause, a dream unspun, Awaiting you, my only one. In longing's core, your essence gleams, In tearful eyes, your presence teems. In hope, in thirst, your breath I crave In all I see, your face appears, Dispelling shadows, calming fears You were the thirst, the silent sigh,  The tear that gleamed in my weary eye.  You danced in laughter, in dreams untamed,  You burned in passion, in love unchained. And where my steps found their last refrain,  The cup stood empty, untouched again....

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
