THE SECRECY OF STRENGTH

Strong winds do violently shake trees,

The wind still goes away.

Though some are left uprooted,

And others broken-unselective parts,

Some grow again, others never fight on.

Again and Again,

Standing trees are still shaken

By the haunting ghostly winds

But they choose to stand on

And this makes nature beautiful.

But the uprooted ones are thrown into fire

And soon are all forgotten as their smoke fades into the skies

Their strengths lies in the depth of their roots

And not the greenly flourishing shoots

And they know what to cling on

To beautify nature

And leave a Legacy

And not be forgotten on an overnight

BORROWED VOICES

SONNET: A personal moment during a nature walk. What do I see? What do I feel? To whom am I talking?

BORROWED VOICES
A moist calm cloudy evening
I stare at your ripples
Seated by your shores
Your calmness holding my emotions
And my heart turned into your untouched linings
My eyes are married to your unruffled surface
Joining the lonely floating clouds
And i wonder,
Do we have a common thought?

And so i chose to stay
Losing my scent of ever adventuring knees
But live in your enchantment
And listen to the inner borrowed voices
Hidden under your water, shaping my thoughts!

The Adors of Success

Times come when things fall apart,
And a wall seems to be setting you apart.
Do not be torn apart,
Even though the victory from you seems far apart!

When your eyes glow dim,
With everyone looking at you grim,
And so high is the wall’s brim,
Keep on chasing the dream!

Go an extra mile,
Keep on with a smile,
Because it is an added file,
Over your competitor’s pile!

Climb up the top,
No matter how many times you tumble from the top,
Till you grip right tight at the top,
Watching out not to drop!

When you become an icon,
Reach out for the horizon,
Watching for the devil’s beckon,
Not to be trapped in its weapon!

And there pick up the success,
Long fought for in excess,
Henceforth live to serve high ideals,
Upholding your ethos!

THE DUEL OF FATE

In the long search, an insatiable search for a mate

Sprawling in the wilderness of sentiments

My eyes tumbled upon, what whom I thought

A wingless angel, heavenly sent

That almost compelled me to go and tap

The curvedly-waist conformed ample back

And have a clear scene of the angelic face

On the turn of her neck, well set high.

My heart was baked in love at first sight

A belief I never knew was real

And this surely gave me a reason

To believe this

And develop a courage

To face the destiny, a fortune in disguise

And see it come to an appellation

Of The Duel of Fate

A fate hidden in the stars of the night

I KEEP COMING

I keep coming, however much I fail

It's not a routine thing, but a heart's will

Despite the many bruises in the battle

I find a reason to fight still

Till we both grow a common wing

And fly with the same thrill!

Many a time, I've tumbled off your wall

And even my little faith has almost faded

Giving up the fight, but I remember,

It's never the size of the dog in the fight

But the size of the fight in the dog

And my last debilitated breaths 

down my chest pushes me for you

Crippling my life, a slave of yours

Even on my death bed, fighting for you!

I still believe in love and wonder

And the many failures, spark my desire

For winning you even more

That's why I keep coming

Forgetting at times, that it's a nightmare

But the other crime ain't fairer either

Because giving up on you

Is a cessation of my existence, suicide!

Queen, I keep coming because I need you

And I'll keep coming till I own you

Make you comfortable in my lovely bowers

Bowers of innocent harmonizations

Prodding an incantation of an endless bond

That we both shall live to taste

The sweetness, the smiles, hugs and tears

From our spring, defined by you and I 

My love: Success!

Intrinsic Motivation

Feeling low 

One sunny evening

I sat on a greeny ground

I thought of what builds a man

Commitment

Resilience

Humility

And sacrifice

Are the words, yes,

That drives a man with a visions

That build courage in a man when it seems to fail

That restore hope when it becomes distant 

That create buoyancy when a man is crushed with defeat

When I stood up 

I was a rejuvenated man again

Inspired

And surely when you can't find an inspiration in the world

Then dig it up from your own self

JULY LOVE SONG

If you find someone

That does not have to change you

If you find someone

That does support you

If you find someone

That really appreciates you

Then you have found the one who really loves you

If it doesn’t matter

How many times you say sorry to each other

If it doesn’t matter

How many fights you pick up with each other

If it doesn’t matter

How many times you become a bother to each other

Then you are destined to live for each other

Just say you love each other

And you can no longer hide it

Just say you love each other

And you don’t have to spend to bond it

Just say you love each other

And you can never get over it

Then you have to live with it

Let your lover know

That you have always wanted to say this

Let your lover know

It’s something you can’t deny just like this

Let your lover know

That you have always loved her more than this

More than your own life.

One Day, Some Day

One day,  some day

I shall stop this trek

And look back with a sigh

At the meanders I've trodden

Weary and weak

I know i will be

Grey and bent

Shaky and wiser

The good deeds 

The worst moments

The inevitable wrong encounters

I know,  all shall be beautiful,  

Beautiful memories over the decades

A fading smile on my lips

And sharp white aging eyes

Shall see beyond the azure

Seeing the rest of the journey

That shall need no more energy

My heart,  worry of my deeds now

For that's what shall remain

My soul,  worry of my feelings today

For that's what I'll carry along

My body,  worry of my heart and soul everyday, 

For they shall define me,  thereafter.

SAVE US, LORD

SAVE US, LORD

Save us, Lord

For this world is craze

And the minds of men are raveling

Possibilities that we can’t even dare think of

Right now they come true, Lord

Tomorrow, I hear

There will be a great wedding

Harriet marries Juliet

And yesterday, I witnessed

World media broadcast and praise

Wallace wed Wales

It’s only the sane that fast for forgiveness

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Nights in the graveyards

Tuning jigs, awakening the dead spirits

Leaders who have to intercede for us to you Lord,

Now busy casting magical spells on us

Seeking to turn us into their own slaves

And more evil charms prodded for protection

Save us Lord.

Lord, today the first duty of the society, justice,

Is betrayed by the society

And even the courts are afraid

To impose charges on deadly dragons

That exhale fire on the whole nation leaving it in smoke and ashes

But sentence butterflies to imprisonment and torture

Who shall stand in for the poor?

The world is insane, the world is insane

Who shall stand with the sane?

Who shall stand with the believers?

Who shall stand with the just?

Save us, Lord.

When Tomorrow Comes

When Tomorrow Comes

I shall go and never look back

My shaky steps shall strengthen

And I shall take my ego back

My neck shall no longer bend down

And my mouth will never sulk

The beautiful memories shall wither

And fresh monuments shall grow

My eyes will shine brighter

And the new memories shall glow

And I shall be to you no hither. 

That it was never meant for us, 

Sorry, it was never meant to be

And I could never force a pass

Where my bane was to be

But rather had to find my own brace

Surging forward with a bliss

My trek shall sink into a beauty of a new life, 

And the past gives me no reasons

Than the future's reason for strife-

A perfect life full of unaltering love in all seasons!

The Whistling Thorn

The Whistling Thorn

As the western horizon touched her bosom to the red sun,

I believed they had a much more sensation,

A sensation than they habitually showed

And of much greater capacities than they ever developed.

My shrill,  breathy sounds

Gentle in the whispers of winds

This time,  prodded unusual enchatments

In my umbrella-bower of harmonizations

. .. Gazing at either's living eyes

With felicity crowning their faces

They sunk into a sweet forgetness

And clasped either's soft lips

In an affection and a love they told always

And rekindled a burning incense of their hearts

HOPE

HOPE

I follow my own fiery traces through the night

Guided by the dictates of my conscience

- Prodded in sessions of sweet silent thought -

I take bold steps with enough patience

Sure of two things like a knight;

Victory or cessation of my existence

What is to come is still unsure

But all these I still endure

In my mind's keening

Until I feel the world’s a heaven

When the journey ends

With one more abounding hope

Even In the shadow of a tomb

BY THE DAM

SONNET 

BY THE DAM

The beautiful ripples

On the greenly banked dam

Rippled in my heart

Echoing its fast beats

In the dance of the beautiful bloom

Of the flowery peeping weedy flat

Causing it immortal nostalgic warts:

Once upon a time with no ripples

Two hearts sat beside the dam; warm

One with an icy silhouette

And the other with live love beats

Alas! The ice melted at temperatures climb

And love was betrayed to rot

By the dam; where all was sparked; now; ripples lasts

THE TRUE MINDS

THE TRUE MINDS

I made the slow weary dragging’s

In the wild sea of thickets

And never stood aloof at the impediments

Striving tooth and nail

In strange infatuation of hopeless toil

With the sparks of life dying within my dark soul

Hunting for love; in the betrayal jungle

And I thought; love is no love

Nudging, wriggling and wedging

Holding onto my inflexible path

I discovered; love is love

At the meeting of the true minds

Sunken bottomless into either’s hearts

Despite their a million differences

They choose to be one; an impulse in either’s veins

With straightforwardness in bewildered worlds

Day after day; writhing through the shades

To define love; a love of the true minds
