BIRD WATCHING

It is my ideal pastime, in my leisure
During which I often derive pleasure

Often looking and sighting the birds
Finding peace unexplained in words
Some of them always flapping wings
Some keeping quiet while other sings
And its beauty is a valuable treasure

I see them walk and I see them dance
Often eyeing with a stealthy glance
As their sight always soothes the eye
To capture their glimpse I always try
As this eases my tension and pressure

They are sweet and are charming too
Often they give a breathtaking view
And with different colors and smiles
You’ll find them in beaches and isles
They are the most beautiful creature

Taking my heart by their appearance
Making me aware of their presence
They are like the fairies and angels
And often casting their magic spells
With their calculations and measure

RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE

The faith that I follow is the faith I always preach
And that is quite true which goes with my speech

Life should be simple, as simplified as it could be
So those within one’s own soul, one can easily see
Wiping out the sins and preserving all that is good
And with strong determination forcing evil to flee
Carving out the path so that divinity you can reach

The best place of worship is just within your heart
And you’ve to be sincere in order to learn this art
You will have to be human and know to sacrifice
The truth is invaluable; it does not carry any price
Stick by your words and see they shouldn’t breech

Life’s only a journey not to be taken as destination
Love and peace accounts for religion’s definition
And also within yourself nurture humane feelings
Also being honest and sincere in all your dealings
Finally in your eyes you got have equality for each

You’ll not ever get God by violence and by terror
If you think so, then you are in tremendous error
Don’t be rude and learn how to love and respect
Your duty is to be good, and in return don’t expect
And that’s what my ideals and my principles teach

AGE OLD TRUTH

So quickly so fast the time has flown
I couldn’t help let it go with a frown

This life now, I’ve experienced a lot
Some I can recollect, some I forgot
To resist this phenomenon I fought
I desire to go back but I just can not
I’m reaping, what my past has sown

My energies decrease, I’m now weak
Its all spirituality, what I now speak
It is about divinity that is what I seek
I’m now learned, wisdom on the peak
All about life, I think now I’ve known

I now often feel sick with some pain
I know I can not gain that health again
Even if I try, my efforts will be vain
There’s no turn from this one way lane
The final steps you got to make alone

A losing battle, the life with death rages
And I have crossed the winning stages
In the end you lose to the ripened ages
It’s the same in history’s all the pages
To get burnt or buried under the stone

I AM THE NATURE

i am the sun, which shines on your face as sunrise
i am the one, waking you with a pleasant surprise

i am the moon, you look at before you go to sleep
i am the one, watching you in your slumbers deep

i am the star, which twinkles and shines in night
i remove the darkness, by burnishing off my light

i am the rains, that comes down on you and pours
i am the clouds, that sometimes thunders and roars

i am the lightening, that streak of light sometimes
i am the winds due to which the climates sublimes

i am oceans and seas with the tides and the waves
i am the water, to quench the thirst, the life i saves

i am the hills and mountains that touches the cloud
i am always standing high, quite tall and too proud

i am the collection of trees in jungles and the forest
i bring peace to the souls and also gets them to rest

i’m the wild with strange and bizarre beauty around
sometimes i am the sky, sometimes i am the ground

i am the God’s gift to be preserved, felt and enjoyed
life can’t exist without me, i shouldn’t be destroyed

POETIC EFFICACY

dreaming to achieve poetic efficacy
it is neither hereditary nor a legacy

it’s your own thoughts that you owe
by letting all your imaginations flow
and making one’s realizations grow
compelling one to think and to know
weighing your all words to adequacy

to initiate the social cause and issues
and assessing all your debts and dues
sincerely expressing all of your views
your own style you’ll have to choose
by giving a chance to taste its delicacy

it is about the way you think and feel
checking up the flaws in order to heal
and various adversities you’ve to deal
finally its others soul you got to steal
and attaining your writing supremacy

it is a way to release one’s own desire
which heart aims and the soul aspire
just like pouring the ice into a wild fire
its like purity which the senses acquire
leads you towards a journey of ecstasy

THE THUNDERSTORM

the gush of the wind, the sway of trees
hearing and feeling the strong breeze

the high waves and the menacing tide
the fate of the ships its going to decide
with the sails on the mercy of the seas

the roof of the house seem to pull off
beneath it some one shiver and cough
with pain making him bend on knees

a streak of light almost tearing the sky
with the clouds above giving a war cry
as the dooms day they going to decide

showers from sky striking the ground
often along with the deafening sound
and those eerie noises seldom increase

the winds blowing their deadliest form
that’s what said to be the thunder storm
with the nature expecting it to appease

THE MIND UNDEFINED

it’s my own mind which I want to read
finding answers to queries that i need

it leads to the thoughts just like the tides
on them one’s emotion and feeling rides
it can either be slow or it can have speed

it makes a saint and it can make a crook
frontiers of one’s image it always shook
one can be selfless, one can have greed

its powers are limitless, and also infinite
it darkens the thought, it can also alight
to the newer horizons, it can always lead

you can’t free yourself from it’s control
it influences the body and also the soul
you can not escape, how much you plead

without your mind, you can’t be defined
and accordingly your behavior’s inclined
as it’s the one that controls all your deed

DRIVING SLOW

drive slow for you must know
as i've got something to show

that you just cannot imagine
causing injury hurting the skin
this is the where speed will go

your spirits may be high now
but soon you will not know how
it would descend getting low

life's precious you should care
don't try to give death a scare
as it would give a deadly blow

race should be only in circuits
on the road there may be hits
then the accidents may grow

try to be calm no need to hurry
no need for anxiety and worry
what is due you'll always owe

racing in streets just not done
its very dangerous it is no fun
so drive carefully, drive slow

KILLING THE INNOCENT

i have seen them killing the innocent
how much they hate the God's present

they’re murdered even before their birth
are all of these efforts really the worth
taking away the lives of the fairer one

they’re too born from one of the kind
which’s forgotten and none to remind
who saved them from the rain and sun

science they misuse to kill than to save
wish they were human, knew to behave
respected the womb where life’s begun

its a crime committed quite often now
and there are no enquiries to know how
they escape the law and are free to run

and we are indifferent towards the same
we aren’t bothered and others we blame
this matter is quite serious, it is no fun

they’ve to learn, they’ve to understand
its destiny and luck and not to demand
as often daughters’ better than the son

now let us make promise to do our best
till we remove this evil we will not rest
to save humanity we’ll get this job done

INVALUABLE SACRIFICE

often i took birth and often i died
whenever i did i left one satisfied

i did construct, i was used to burn
at times i was sold in order to earn
often for kids I was used as a slide

i was used for shelter and for food
i gave them fruits, i gave the wood
at times i got rid even of my hide

i was used to sit and i used to sleep
and their belongings i used to keep
as i was used whether wet or dried

i was used to play, used as a swing
they also used me to dance and sing
i was their friend, i was their guide

i was with them from birth till death
i helped them to take a fresh breath
when pollution's spread far and wide

i sacrificed my life for their welfare
and of this i never made them aware
so they never knew whenever i cried

when i am used i must also be cared
few places over here must be spared
so that i can grow, spread and divide

THE VOICE ECHOES

save me, save me the voice echoes
save me from the enemies and foes

i'm being charged i'm being chased
against me all the efforts are raised
it's a secret one shouldn’t disclose

i try for defense and i try to resist
thro’ various quarters dangers exist
from where it'll come no one knows

i'm being hunted i'm being attacked
and all my frontiers are ransacked
why and how this just no one knows

i need help so do come to my rescue
i trust you a lot, i have faith in you
you’ld be fast as time quickly flows

support me and build my confidence
and make me aware of your presence
being together the strength also grows

..........to be modified and continued

ABOUT ME

what should i tell you all about me
often my intellect slips to my knee
again it slowly ascends to the head
if you really believe what i've said

to know me is hard and difficult too
and it is just not easy to get through
you’ll be lost amused and confused
as in the path the senses are reduced

each time you’ll get some thing new
to get to the past the chances are few
so accept my present forget the past
don’t waste time, life is running fast

i am the truth and i’ll never pretend
my sins and wrongs i’ll never defend
i’ve my weaknesses, i’m not perfect
everything over here carries a defect

look beyond obvious to get to reality
and then get aware of all the specialty
the beautiful and nice things about me
which you can not know without me

EVENING OF THOUGHTS

this day too is now just going to end
the light and darkness about to blend

with the sound of the flapping wings
as the flying birds chirps and sings
as a distant sound of musical strings
hearing which the heart gently swings
and thinking of how the day got spend

looking high above viewing the stars
and gently feeling the passing hours
also thinking of the battles and wars
trying to heal their wounds and scars
asking peace and love to gently ascend

and now this evening is moving along
as i'm too confused to where i belong
when i was right and when i was wrong
and trying hard to be brave and strong
as my principles i will have to defend

saving the freedom, also the solitude
against all the charge papers issued
and testing the ability and aptitude
clearing the same without being rude
over the dreams, i now have to ascend

THE INNER CONSCIENCE

often reflections from the inner conscience
good and bad which explains and defines

checks and also follows all of your deeds
which accelerates and at times also recedes
towards the destination it guides and leads
also one's characters is assesses and reads
polishes it accordingly, which later shines

it may pay or may not, the effort one makes
some times the whole life is also on stakes
being busy diversifying realities and fakes
but ultimately resulting in no great shakes
building the way, it straightens and aligns

the same has been taught and also preached
but secret is not found and never breached
journey continues, destination’s not reached
as all of a sudden moving steps get beached
it hasn’t been disclosed the mystery confines

DOWN MEMORY LANE

while walking down memory lane
the mind forms a thoughtful chain
binding me in an aura of emotions
creeping slowly in little proportions
giving a gentle feel of times gone by
when i would lazily look up at the sky
straining the neck to count the stars
and calculating life's gifts and scars
remembering them and amusing them
as the recollections occur in mayhem
smiling at my bygone age of innocence
in my life, it's impact and it's essence
leisurely when i think about it a lot
from the experience, what all i've got
and how I’ve saved them memory
as this has been really a great story
with sorrows and happiness mixed
which will keep all the readers fixed
as life has been a roller coaster ride
without anything to cover up or hide
it will seem like a fiction all through
that is how i lived, which is quite true

OUR ENVIRONMENT

if we are discussing the environment
is it the nuke weapons and disarmament
is it just a subject to give a speech
is it enough to move around and preach
to save the nature and save the earth
have we really understood its worth
will things improve by putting blame
will they get even by doing the same
aren't we responsible for all disasters
by trying to become nature's masters
we too responsible for the earthquakes
and all the lives that it often takes
there're frequently floods and drought
these calamities we have only brought
we now also see the tsunami and storms
as we’ve broken environmental norms
and we have only cut down the trees
and spilled in sea petrol and grease
we've destroyed the natural resources
while going against the natural forces
and wasted and misused water and land
kept increasing our desire and demand
and sacrificed our own right to live
which we'll have to accept and believe
that we have brought the earth to end
and its funeral we're about to attend
so now if we wish our earth to remain
we'll be required to think once again
to save wild animals, plants and trees
and see that their numbers do increase
by controlling the pollution in the air
from the destruction of the ozone layer
lets take a pledge, make a commitment
that we'll take care of our environment

NEW BEGINNING

conquests i've made, battles i've won
and a new era in my life has begun

finally i will have to wake up now
important tasks got to take up now
and steadily things need to be done

there are decisions i will have to take
it is my destiny i will have to make
and then shine brighter than the sun

i'll now have to leave the past behind
pains to forget and lessons to remind
that some deeds just can't be undone

now i have again gathered all my effort
sincerely using both my soul and heart
so as to lay down my future foundation

with sincere hard work and devotion
having a new aim and a also new vision
i've to move ahead, leaving what's gone

one day i know i will be the very best
completely a cut apart from all the rest
nothing beside me, i being the only one

i will have to hurry now and i'll be fast
because the good tidings does not last
i know that faster i will have to run

but then i take my time to think again
why should i bear so much of the pain
life is short so let us have some fun

THE DAMN POET

damn may the poet and not the poetry
who just writes jittery and glittery
but doesn't address the social issues
and never cries nor ask for tissues
to wipe out tears which his eyes shed
when people starve for sake of bread
and hunger and malnutrition prevail
and human slaves are put up for sale
water is scarce to quench the thirst
epidemics and famines often outburst
when people make fun of poor and weak
further exploits the feeble and meek
and often destruct and also destroy
and while pursuing this always enjoy
little they care as to what they do
follow the false and reject the true
harming nature bringing the world's end
by their misdeeds so much they offend
kill and massacre in the name religion
why is this discrimination and division
racial, regional and also economical
it's high time to get rid of this evil
that's the corruption and also bribery
as it is also the root cause of misery

UNCLE PETER

i know about one uncle peter
who's always carrying a meter

he measures everyone's pulses
and tells about their impulses
this act keeps me quite amused
while the others get confused
and address him as a cheater

he's quite old and little bent
and he carries a weird accent
his words insulting and cheap
and his looks penetrate deep
he frustrates as a brain eater

he may be false or may be true
but he will always confuse you
just don't take him for granted
he can also get you enchanted
and later on he may also defer

as he will not accept his wrong
to him stubbornness also belong
never will he take his words back
he won't break and he wont crack
its difficult to make him deter

ENLIGHTENMENT

what do i know about this life of mine
is the way i am living absolutely fine

are all my deeds really being judged
and why this heart has always grudged
sulked within with a sense of annoyance
and later sighed again at my arrogance
its a confused feeling i can not define

i know not what i am really meant for
i wish i could know why i was sent for
so that i could fix my target and aim
without any more mistakes and blame
so there isn't any worries and whine

i am trying to think and trying to find
as to how the body and the soul is bind
what's that makes us feel the way we do
the difference between false and true
and where and why my thoughts incline

i hope i will know as to why i am here
and face the final truth without any fear
and find satisfaction and contentment
gaining knowledge and enlightenment
beyond the limits that presently confine

A JOURNEY UNPLANNED

where i have come where i have to go
wish i could plan wish i could know

which way to discard which to choose
what i've to gain and what to loose
whether to turn right or to the left
to search what my destiny has kept
may be some day good luck will show

which relations to make and to break
and further what steps i have to take
whom i have to love and whom to hate
what is there that will decide my fate
which direction my destiny will flow

i do not know if i am right or wrong
its a long journey i have come along
i am happy for all that i have done
i had enjoyed life and i also had fun
while shaping life and making it glow

let us now see what is that lies ahead
what more i've to do before i'm dead
where i will fail, where i will succeed
and i don't want to repent on my deed
so i will have to clear all that i owe

IDENTITY MISTAKEN

i've been mistaken for what i am not
as i may not be as per your thought

you may think me to be idle and lazy
as may be i'm mad or may be i'm crazy
but of course i am really not that way
if you could feel that before i say
about the qualities which i have got

i also have my rise and also my falls
at times it’s true and at times false
during the battles i have won or lost
though i tried to win them at any cost
but certain things can not be bought

about me you may also be deceived
you can wrong for what you believed
as for me there is something confusing
because of the proxies i've been using
lets see if i can escape or get caught

may be my identity has been mistaken
as from a deep slumber i have awaken
to get aware and of course to realise
whenever i will fall, i will definitely rise
as never to loose, i have been taught
