Cherry Tree
A knight in a suit of armour
built out of strong self belief
imposing on other,
blinded self by the gaze of the (suit's) shining sheet.
The confluence of self and the idea,
happens just like
the confluence of all tributaries,
just before the river ends in the sea.
The heart beats out
for what matters today
An apple on a tree
that will soon rot away
Is the world
what it seems?
or do I need to grow
is it even there?
do I really want to know?
Am I that part of the sea
somewhere in the middle
away from everywhere
calm and placid on a moonless night
not affected by the rhythmic
seashore waves counting time?
Or am I a volcano erupting
capable to change,
to make my own ground,
derange?
Does one need to pass through
fire and be cast into shape?
Is that the purpose of life
or does it matter if we were still just apes?
As a child, I search for candy,
and with it walk away to moon,
a bounce in every step
by that piece of candy induced.
I see my perspective, the world has its,
never coinciding,
The urge for individuality
laid bare.
Why has this happened to me,
where was I wrong,
how will this decide my future?
I stand Janus faced, staring my destiny's wall.
We shall sing, we shall dance,
we shall eat and be merry,
life's river taking its own course
watering each ones' tree of cherry.

Random
Its not what you are deep down... Its your actions that define you....(some where in the batman movie)
Random collection of self interest..
Friendship is a gift, not a privilege..
Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain (Guns and roses)

Square One
Flying high…
Floating in the warm sun,
A mile high…
Feeling a king…
Carried by a stork…
I have begun…Inspecting,
So this is my world.
Welcoming the smells…
Cakes, blueberry pies, Gouda, mozzarella, cheddar cheese.
Making friends indispensable,
Swings; hide and seek.
Becoming a man worth my salt.
Behold, the future is mine.
So I start my sojourn..
In the world of sui generis; cognoscente
Ameliorating,
Toiling to till my soul land.
Objective clear,
Stained by the world gaze.
Straight walked,
Into the diabolical puzzling maze.
Turning in circles,
Finishing first at square one!
Debilitated at a loose end…
I still had dreams to burn..
Peaks to conquer,
Lovely flowers to smell..
Castles to see,
Hero stories to tell..
Finding the answers,
To the mysteries of life…
Solving my Rubik cube,
Raking my neural hive.
Wish could borrow the wisdom
Of Solomon,
To find my way out,
Of life’s Square One!!

Relations
Watching the bay...
Tide rising and ebbing,
Fuelled by the moon as if only for play...
Sun shifting in the sky,
Working its 24 hour rounds
Encouraging the tender green shoots
Fending the porcupines working the grounds...
Shoots that one day, will grow up to be mighty oaks
Defying the storms, anchored at the roots
Nurturing hard acorns,
Mocking the richer fruits.
Mighty yet warm,
Softening in ways,
Allowing a million birds to roost
Each in the morning, singing its own soliloquy.
Mutually exclusive,
Yet connected, dependent,
Nature’s way,
Of successful solitary existence
Contrasting, different, disparate, dissimilar,
Yet dependent, wanted, necessary, attached,
Like connected souls,
Unequally matched.
Complicated, sometimes unwanted,
Yet loved and cared without a doubt
Unethical, sometimes disregarded
Yet unlivable without
Heart warming in solace,
In darkness, a feeble lamp lit
Judging, prodding, exploring,
Testing till ends of wit.
Beautiful and ugly, weak and strong.
Hence unique, its own kind,
Forgiveness, the only salvation
To those who've not learnt the language of their own mind.
In My Element
Playing my chimes
Rising with the sun
Flowing ahead of my times
Singing in the hollows
Sweeping the plains
Engaging the mighty seas
Consecrating the rains
Shaping the deserts
Freezing the hills
Paying ode on Aeolus
Rummaging the Yggdrasils
Thinner than the hair
Tinnier than the tule tree seed
Ambiguous as a word
yet purer than any breed
Warmer than the sun
Higher than the peaks
Solitary as the potter bee
Yet faster than the
Peregrines
Stronger than the beast
Mightier than a samurai's sword
Testing the weak
Paying my respects to the strong
Indestructible, undisputable
yet ready to bare my soul
bringing some sorrow, more laughter
tired of my unpredictable role
Tired of carrying the drops
drops as fresh as dew
to cry them away
on the lucky few
Trust
walking the ingeminated rope.
Fostered by family,
friends fueling the winning hope.
Formed a shell,
kith and kin forming the entire world.
I moved on, departed...
reassured of every said word.
People change, destinies evolve,
Mankind becomes a superior race.....
I walk alone, obstinate, aggrieved....
belligerently setting my own pace...
Heard a myriad of reasons,
a score of lies.
each unique, creative,
a never ending tide.
Maturing in the flame of life,
wishing there were other ways to learn.
Losing my impurities, gaining a few??
Time, the only true witness, testifying the burns.
Evolution
Stood strong facing the storm
Unflinching, unwavering, unmoved…..
A child in pristine form.
Remained stubborn all my life,
Failing to heed life’s subtle advice…..
And so I trotted….
A blind man’s guise.
Only to be hit,
By a glass wall….
Imperceptible, unobvious rather make-believe
Perfect in every sense and yet there to deceive
An enemy, a hindrance, an obstacle blocking my straight path,
Indeed for the wise, only a lesson to grasp….
The spirit of Gaia blocking my way,
Coaxing her son to foray….
Destiny humored me to try a way through
Ramming on the glass, my desperation grew
I had no choice but to venture outside,
Leave my trusted zone, test my unknown might
I chose my roads,
I chose my ways…
Saddened still only by the fact,
Though for good reason, it were my own who forced me to act…..
Refined and bettered,
I humor my own….
I humor my own….
Promises for Keeps
Driving on life’s highway,
As lost as a circus bear in woods…
Circumspect of the turning roads,
Deciding on the right, on the good…
Looking at the sun, seeking the way….
Stars prodding to move in a million ways…
Searching for solace…..
Confused and lost…….
Ready to give up the losing race…..
Searching for the star of winning hope…..
To ride to the end. To jump the winning rope…
Sinking ship in the sands of time…
You chose to be my captain in trying times…
You promised to lead me to the end of the world….
To sail forever, till we reached the goal...
Revitalized by the pivoting hope…
Gathered my spirit, let it grow…
You shone the light house light…
Guiding away from the rocks in the way…
You stood at the helm….
Made me realize my shallowness…
Shallowness that misunderstands the might….
And I believed………as innocently as I could….
And I believe….......certain as a rock……that you will return….
To be my captain once again…..
Joining the Dots of Life
The crescent chose to shine,
Shine on the formless black sea…
Distracting yet, empowering
Urging it to rise above the restricting horizon,
Urging it to believe…
Weighed with emotion,
The blue mammoth roared at midnight,
Sending fore a raging wave…
Slowed with time, the wave
Swayed at seaside,
Vacillating on the bare plain…
Pondering…
Realizing, the ignorance of the naïve mind,
Maturing with each passing thought…
Searching for the beauty,
The beauty of the crescent,
On this bare plain???
Realizing it had risen,
With the power of the crescent,
But not enough, not enough….
Dichotomous
went out to see the world
saw people saw emotions
saw stories unfold
I saw my own versions
interpretations I could perceive
hated some, loved most,
some I couldn't believe
felt the ecstasy of joy
beauty of sadness...
feelings that stayed on
refusing to leave
Making room for more
tried forget the past
holding on to each moment,
hoping this time...it would last
Playing God, controlling my destiny
realizing not, it was only play...
dreams I pursued,
strong as clay
I woke up to life,
woke up to reality
A dime a life...
uptil serenity
Alone
Fire within
Anger it fuelled
Alone I walked
Lonely it grew
Fight I wanted
but couldn't succeed
Friends forsaken
desperate in need
Lived a life
Became what i wanted to be
Retrospective now
mulling my deeds
Overwhelming emotions
forming a horst
Learnt from life
Lessons wished not to learn
Emerged a winner
Beaten and burnt........
Dancing in the Rain
I danced in the rain
I danced till twas light
I danced in pain
Twas important to you
But was it worth me??
Could have cried it out...
But I chose to dance
For you can kill me, but
To my spirit....you dont stand a chance
I remember
I rememberd the days with thee
I remembered the nights
I remembered the ripples of laughter
I remembered the fights
I remembered the moments I lived with thee
I remembered like stars in night, shining light...
I remembered for so long that
I forgot to live
Life's too short to remember the moments left behind.
Its too long to wait for those to come
Make a moment for everything now.
Squeeze out of life...
Squeeze every moment of fun..
Ordinary
She came into my life, gave me wings to fly
This had never happened to me,
For her I was ready to die.
Thought she liked me and so I lived a lie.
Truly fascinating, a lie though,
I didnt want to realise.
Soon she was gone...
The devil, but my angel in disguise
Met a Genie
met a genie on the way.
Fulfill a wish I requested,
No way he objected.
Then fulfill 5 I demanded.
Whats ur single wish he sounded.
Make me handsome, I asked.
Wish wasted he laughed,
Never underestimate ur true self, the genie said.
And Ull live to ur fullest till ur dead.
