Mahathi Mydavolu
Mahathi Mydavolu Poems
If my silence has voice, I'm sure you're there
listening to my woe. If stony face
my has some etched pain-lines you sure aware
of them. Yes Lord...I'm wating for your grace.
...
I close my eyes and keep I chanting the names
Of Ram! So many oh so sweet, so sweet
While trying to visualize His mystic games,
His form, His frame, His smile and Him complete!
...
The swan is set to fly away alone.
From earth-pilgrimage it's time to unwind.
No memories are saved of mortal zone...
of stone or bone...nor traces left behind.
...
With tears bubbling from eyes I prayed again
The Lord in holy sanctum sanctorum.
This's some tenth temple where I prayed with pain.
There's silence except house flies' endless hum.
...
Don't stop but pamper Him, that prowler sly
Toddling with grace towards your kitchen door.
Be sly like Him and His exploits espy!
That thief, the worlds don't hate but sure adore,
...
OM SRI HARI
How far is Vaikunta from Earth O Lord
How fast Lord Garuda can fly in sky
...
That orphan loves an open opera.
A one-man play, He Himself acts and He
the audience. Umpteen times played and saw
but never tired of bland redundancy.
...
Is it that place, where he said he fell once,
but soon on his feet to make his strides?
Is that the garden he described ere,
now you're staring at
...
Oh why I'm suffering from woe and fear.
It seems some ghoul is holding me by rein.
You only can help me O Mother dear.
...
When he walked,
the path like a magic carpet
rolled down under his feet
following him.
...
I'm on my way to the mountain cap.
I make my journey sweet and high.
It's up to you O boy, to wrap
your nap and tread the path my nigh.
...
I cleansed my body, watched my breath, explored
the mind, expounded deep wisdom and dwelled
in rhapsody. But still a vacuum welled
inside drifting with it some flotsam stored.
...
The rain that's lashing out at mountains, spires
Tall trees and huts abates when dazzling Sun
Reveals himself from cloud-curtains with fires
And yells at downfall, hey stop thee... it's done.
...
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते |
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ||
----------------------------------------------------------
Forget your family, your kith and kin.
...
A knot after a knot, one more and more!
Before he felt the ease of loosening
umbilical cord, he saw through opened door
a waiting world of tangled mortal strings.
...
When still a nestling, I learned to flutter wings
to soon return to roost... my mother's lap.
When young it was freedom-I flew with winds
across and too against. I stopped to flap
...
Behind the rousing silvery milky way,
they say there lies a carnivore black hole!
I never saw, but take that as the truth.
When slip into the lewd desires we deep
...
I know, I am tilling a barren land.
But this was once a desert, where serpents
wiggled for rats below the dancing sand
and cactuses survived by life's penchant.
...
O God of Universe, O Lord of love,
Accept my prayers, and listen to my woe.
Can thee spot me O Lord, a man in cove
Amongst a billion humans on a show? !
...
When legs are tied and hands are busy, don't
you worry! When your lips are sealed, your eyes
are closed and ears are plugged, oh never moan!
They're vain by mortal vein...but pleas no lies!
...

The Best Poem Of Mahathi Mydavolu
Grace
If my silence has voice, I'm sure you're there
listening to my woe. If stony face
my has some etched pain-lines you sure aware
of them. Yes Lord...I'm wating for your grace.
What if I don't say prayers, and paeans sing;
What if I don't burn incense, light a bright
oil wick and offer you some sweet pudding;
as you're the Savior, you're the word the light!
But yet oh roil a billion muddles
inside my mind and heart my seeks answers
to doubts and lo a lot of twined riddles
surround my being like dancing cruel lancers.
Well then whom else I seek the alms of bliss.
I try and try until I gain noesis.
