The Sign

After a long time, I’ve written a new poem…coz the major part of my day goes by in recovering from the knee surgery…it takes most of my energy & then I’m not able to do a lot…I know, it’s getting a bit boring to hear about it every single time…but the thing is, I’m sharing something deeper & something very simple…these moments are teaching me to appreciate small & simple things…the importance of self-love…to look into your own eyes with love…to love your different sides…to have compassion…to give space…and to take things as they come…the very Creation has helped me quite a lot in not only understanding this but also to sense it with my open heart…to live in the moment is simple & difficult at the same time…it’s very much possible though…lastly, I’m still not able to check your posts regularly at my full capacity…I’m doing it whenever I get the chance…my gratitude to you for the lovely messages / wishes & for your understanding of me being partially active over here 🌟✨❤️💫🙏

I hope you’d enjoy this new poem 💫


Silently I talk to the quiet violet in me
While the violent in me is vibrating the violin strings
The sound of this high-pitched music that I stream
Is the melody of pain & restlessness that I bleed
No visor over my ears to silence the sound intensity
As the wise in me is observing myself calmly with peace
The eyes of this tree are sighing with fall of the leaves
The sign of this piece is shining even when I drop like tears
But I won’t ever hide my raw skin or the formless spirit
No shield I’m wearing, I’m simply standing right here

Spoken Word – Darkness and Light (YouTube channel)

Dear all,

I’m still recovering from my knee surgery…The cocktail of painkillers is quite heavy & those 40 clips on my knee give the form of a centipede…Quite cool, isn’t it?…Therefore, you don’t see me here quite often these days…But I’ll be back…However, I’ve made a plate of spoken word…I’ve garnished it with fresh herbs…I hope you’d enjoy it…Thank you…Much love 🌟✨💟💫

To me both darkness & light are not only very powerful but they also are the purest forms. Darkness is not negative as it has normally been perceived. Light as well as darkness are heart-openers & unique zen-masters.

Repair

Visitation in different forms with drops of transparent emotions
Vibrations in every cell of this imperfectly perfect formation
Speculations in my mind of this physical & mental condition
Synchronization at many levels of the meaty & meet-me creation
Implantation of the prosthesis in the knee coz of OA detection
Preparations to keep playing these chords as a poetic musician
Reflections of the moments that are shining with manifestation
Relaxation while I inhale & exhale the magical realizations

This poem came to me instantly…I’m recovering / relaxing on my hospital bed after the knee surgery this morning, that lasted around 75 min…coz of osteoarthritis (OA) of my left knee…it was quite interesting to hear the round saw, nail hammering, cutting, pulling sounds with conversation of the medical team…with 90s music playlist in the background…So metal in me…Now I’m officially one of these…Darth Wader, Terminator, a Cyborg or simply just Me 😎

I’ll see, read, like, comment on your art and reply to your wonderful comments on this & my previous lines in some time…the cocktail of 2-3 pain killers with morphine is dope…just wanted to post this poem at this very moment, dear souls ✨💟💫

The Artist & The Art

I’m here to appreciate the artist & the art
To honour the talent & to honour the spark
The joy, the pain & those precious wisdom drops
The words, the voice, the choice, the colours & other forms
The expressions, the imagery, the music & the dance
A blessing to connect with the beings in the skyline path

I’m here to share my poetry I chisel & carve
Experience, realization or just a simple thought
The deep ocean & the wildfire in the chambers of my eyes
The unknown, the known, the light & the dark
The memories, the moments, the wounds & the scars
Poem is me, I’ll express it till the day I’m gone

Living one moment, even or evenly odd
The graphical representation of my BMS chart
Body, Mind & Soul balance subpar or at par
Algorithm that I follow with the senses so raw
All good rhythm if we listen mindfully from the heart
Wishes & love from me to you all ✨❤️💫

Formless Trees

I’m gliding high with colourful birds on either side
Freestyling on the fly with my broadened wing size
Airing natural rhymes in an infinitely open sky
Holding ball of fire with calmness in my fluid eyes
Beaming rays of light through the shiny translucent blinds

Bleeding diamonds once felt like the breaking point
Shockwave was running into me when I was paralyzed
Countless spots in my shell suffocated me numerous times
Realized one day that steep falls were designed to slowly rise
I’m able to see that patterns & forms aren’t the real I

The gorgeous beauty of the moon in the magical night
Walking on partly visible path in the now is pure enlightenment
The spiritual energy is creating the magnetic ocean tides
Unknown depths I’m reaching when I tune in to inner shine
The new sides I’m sensing when I keep redying to be alive

Transforming cutthroat screams to the meaningful voice
Sanding inner wall that was clayed with layered noise
Dissolving deeper scars with the mindful sacred silence
Blowing on greyish site to ignite sparks of life
Manifesting formless trees on the naked & barren soil

Lightning Rhymes Review by Pragalbha Doshi

I’m humbled, deeply touched & honoured by sharing this amazing, beautiful & heartfelt review with you, of Lightning Rhymes by Pragalbha Doshi, of Infinite Living of my debut book – Lightning Rhymes…I’m filled with the feeling of WOW…what a way Pragalbha has written this review…a profound gift to me…my gratitude to you, Pragalbha ✨🙏✨

A screenshot of the review
Here’s the full review:

“Navin Manik’s poetry and poetic prose give us glimpses of the kind afforded only to the one who is touched to the core of their soul and then allowed to return to surface. I am overwhelmed with appreciation for how present his words are to the moment-to-moment flow of life from inside out, through, and through.

Lightening Rhymes is a treasure to hold in my hand, as I read page after page. This is the poetry of the kind that comes unannounced and breaks one open, one by one, or perhaps seals one back, one by one, depends how we look at it. I recognize all those themes and spaces from where, as if a triumphant mourning happens through poetry as each one trickles out of our being – Navin does all of it absolutely exquisitely. His poems are an experience of a Fullness of Nothingness that moves within into a stillness – very impactful in written and spoken form. They are brilliant expressions of the stark experiences of our inner world.

It feels a great contentment for the gift of Navin’s poetry, with such unique rhythm and incredible beauty, to be out in the world.”

I’m grateful to each & every one of you…for your wonderful support…for your unconditional love towards my poetry…I can’t describe the feelings when I see & read that my book is bought, read & then reviewed…I would only humbly ask you to buy my book if you connect with my rhymes…Lightning Rhymes…It is available in both paperback & eBook editions.
