Relations

Sitting on the green grass,
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

Free as the wind
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

Living a simple life,
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

I put on my colored glasses
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 all night
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

In the true world, was just an ordinary guy.

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

Going home one day...
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.
