Nothing in the world is mine
Not even my own shadow
For I try to hold my shadow
It either moves away...
Or disappears .....!!

Why then...
Talk about the one I love
Pretty well...knowing...
He will never be mine..!!
It's again ...
Nothing in the world is mine ..!!
With a shattering smile
You left me in exile
And for you it's been an art
Knowing well it breaks my heart
As into tens of thousand pieces  
Until my breath ceases !!
  
Broken pieces of my heart
That lay scattered as a piece of art
Healed by itself  in your thoughts
In a venge to rise against odds in lots
From the floors of time to face
Everything of anything with grace!!

Your choice to leave me forever
Is no more for me a  nightmare
As my lone broken heart
Is gutsy enough to face our ways apart
With boldness of  ten thousand hearts
Accepting .. love can never be bought !!
Surrounded by the ocean and sea
Lies the beautiful piece of land 
So Serene and beautiful
Deemed to be God's own country !!

Deemed God's own
Seemed occupied
with people devil's own..
With lack of love and harmony..

God set to  test the future
Of man helpless before nature..
Downpour started without an end
With a message God send...
Disaster!!

God's own country was in floods 
With suffering so boundless
People without food and home
Making camps  their home.. 

Self help , mutual help 
Community help ,became the slogan...
No loss allowed to happen..
Care , love and sharing shone....

So too the face of God..
Love  harmony and humanity  prevailed
Downpour subsided... 
Country again became God's own country. 

People called themselves GOD'S OWN PEOPLE!!
My eyes yearn to see you
And I yearn to see my eyes
With you within it...
Through her two twinkling eyes
I see tens and thousands of rays
With brightness of  million suns
Reflecting the zillion dreams
Flowering in her lone
broad dazzling mind…
Through  paths i walked
fragrant flowers of love
That coloured my dreams
Had always surprised me!

But  now i walk
on the lonely way
With dried up leaves
And flowers  of love
Withered.....
bringing in me
The pain deep hiden...
Of memories of past walk !

Colours and Scents of love
And the scenes on my path
Has faded......
Where am I heading to
All alone.....with silence
Alive everywhere!
Coloured smiles
Mind blowing at look
With all undeniably realistic
Attracting hearts to fall in it
Innocent hearts so sensitive
Yearning for compassion
Just skid in !!
The truth of colours realized
Once you are juiced
And straws thrown!!
Thousand words
Can be written
On Mother's day ...
For the thousand words
You hear everyday...
Of Mother's love..

No words for Father's day..
For, Father is not a word
But an emotion of boundless
care and love.....
That's neither spoken nor heard
But .....only sensed and felt
So much , Inexpressible by words!!

And dads are always mad
In loving their kids
With madness hidden
Deep in their hearts !!
Only Asset
Charming smile
Value undisclosed
Shielded under N-95
Fearing raid of Covid-19
Freightening sound of night
Dark tight without light
Sends shivers bones straight
And my mind moans outright
But then,
There you come as knight
Landing me in delight
To enjoy the beauty of night
Holding you firm with no fear in sight.....
Rhyming words are my weakness
Nostrils clash gifting breathlessness...
Twists and turns lends sleeplessness....
Though on cosy comforts for a
peaceful slumber ....!!
And then ..
Interference of inhalers and steams
Aid in clearing war within nasal base
And  a feeling of relief  surrounds..
Though it's a bit away from feeling afresh !!
My fights with you
Is my fight for you
For your love for me
For the love I have for you
For it's only you
For me to love and fight
And both of these , with you
Just makes me go crazy !!
My tiny lonely fingers
Finds their perfect partners
In the hold of your hands..
Like my heart finds its beat
In your's....!!
Mind and heart
float in harmony
along with thoughts
comforting  a feel  
of your presence ...
but, never quite often felt
is  the hold on hand..
that gives a vibe
of being cared…..
Drops of worries falling on me
sink me sick quite often
As the burden weigh unbearable !!
Pooling courage to wage a war
Make up to stand over agitation
firm confidence held high in self
threw away the fears....
letting to vanish from sight..!!
take a chance and try....
Until with colours you fly!!
Accompanying  each other
complimenting one another
walking  uphill and down hither
Taking twists and turns thither
at every nook and corners  together
a journey  without a  bother
for years down altogether..
Still on ways smoother
Than any feel of smother
With no bubbles  of  frother
But as real like a  soother..
With all imperfections like any other
For our friendship is like no other
Cheers to you , my friend forever...!!
Like fish out of water
I gasp  for a bit of breath
Wriggling left  and right
I end up waking straight
As some voice from invisible self
Seem to pierce my inner soul
In the deep dense night
Of intense silence..
Surrounding darkness sends a shiver
Along the rhythm of talk I hear...
But from where??
An echo from heart..??
Or a babble of soul??
Let silence speak for a moment
While i gaze into your eyes
to explore what they may seek
And to know if our paths
Shall ever converge....and
If we were meant to be one
to become symbol of  perfection
for the world around..
Or just live our  lives apart..
Like the sun and moon
Never to be together...
Just playing the hide and seek !!
Yearned for some one to confide to
But found none to confine to
Cried days and nights  of my loneliness
Longing plentitude of completeness,..

Believe seeing my weepy soul
And helpless to give a candid console
The master designer of my life gifted me a loving soul
As my protector and saviour as whole
Destined to be my strength at large
Till end of my life always to recharge !!

Oppressed mind, repressed soul , suppressed heart vanished from my memories and  self...
And disappeared to the vanity with a never return back promise to their self..

Mind, heart and soul regenerated alive
Encouraged dreaming colossal to survive
Supported and Illuminated by  the gift of God
Gazing to a destination good and odd.
.
Alterations marked the gift of God's ingress
Rediscovered my writing passion in progress
Guiding me to the world of words
And aiding me to find my word from words..

Sparkle in smile, compassion in eyes,
zeal to care, meticulousness in advice
I feel the touch of the master creator
In this..his gift to me!!
Doubtlessly I know... The master creator himself....is THE GIFT TO ME!!
Life seems beautiful when
I see you smile
Though apart thousands of mile
Life seems ugly when
there is gloom on your face
Even when we are together at a place..
Petals of  dried flower  
Lay fallen dry and dull ...
Happy fragrance sent around
On glorious colourful days
Fades from memory..
As  songs loses its words
And words loses its music...
And trying to hear the unsung song
I feel fallen....
With no glorious past
Or colourful future!!

Aug 12
Knock down by furious fate
Let teary eyes turn around
For hands to hold tight
From falling apart...!!

Smoke from sorrows
Cast it's spell on night sleep
Eyes robbed of soothing heal
Yearned  to hear cradle songs
To sleep in peace!!

As stood in darkness
Burning soul shedding invisible tears
Craved for a candle light
And a gentle rain !!

Held upright by caring hands
Singing lullabies for tranquil sleep
Bearing happy lights all through
I see you stand.. ......as God!!
Or Are you God send  ??!!

@ kavitha prabhakaran
Small seedling planted in cultured soil of  The Chinmaya
With all morals and ethics well observed and absorbed roots
Has grown firm and strong with branches spread across the globe..
Like an evergreen umbrella tree providing shade and support
To the ones who stand under it, otherwise too.

The flowery shower of naturally pure wishes and blesses
From all branches of the giant awesome tree
Has added fragrance to my special day……
To remain as such for each day and every other day !!

By all means, I feel words at scarce  
To express my gratitude so sincere..
However,  My heart from depth expresses
Heart filled thankfulnesss…..
To all branches
Of this Mighty Evergreen Friendship tree….
My thanks note to all my school friends..
Bright red hibiscus buds
Eager to bloom , smile in shyness
In night's darkness , yet glowing
Under the golden moon !!

Glossy red frills of blossomed flowers
Sway in buzzing breeze in adorable style
On cheery fulfillment of  life
Under the million rays of mid noon sun !!

In the earth's spin withered flowers lay fallen
With neither smile nor glow ..
But still, there are golden lights
And diamond rays, as always .....
And life continues....
Drizzling rain
Aims for umpteen smooches
On her fairy face..
And she too plays
hide and seek
With the naughty rain...,,!!
Hold
my hands
Forever
to walk
Along the roads
Of time .....
Smiling
At the ages we cross
Till
our destination
of eternal peace!!
Standing on  top of the world
Shouting from bottom of the heart
Holding you tight to the core
Beyond which impossible for more
To  show world that’s deaf and blind
Of how much I adore  you…..
Be aware,  on your hold
Swings my life, either
to shine like a lively star atop
Or fall like a burnt charcoal dead
deep down !!
Fierce attitude
To be an achiever
So as to hold  the
trophy in hand
High upto sky...
And so  toasted
the efforts...
But then realised
hopes had holes
As I stood still
At where it started !!!
Shielded me  from the scorching heat
Giving warmth in the smoky winter
Held me  steady in the turbulent storms
By the ways you held me tight ..
At the home I have found ...
In the middle of your heart . ....!!
Withered hopes and dried up ambitions
Of tired soul so yearning for peace
Walk destined to six yards  unknown land piece
For eternal rest in peace ...
With prayers not to see...
Anyone anymore...
Not to hear any repents
For the inflicted hurts
And never to receive the love
Denied when sought...
Just to rest .....
With no hopes and no expectations  .. .
And nothing more beyond
than never ever felt peace !!
Steams from hot cup of tea
Flew upwards blurring vision
As they sat to sip a cup of tea
From either sides setting eyes on
One another……

With not a drop of tea drunk
Both  engulfed  the taste of souls
Of each other…..
Finding taste more than hot
Cup of tea held in their hands…
Cold breeze from somewhere
blew all over.........
Treat yourself well
As you deserve it so well
For you are an original one
With shadow of none !!
No one
Some one
Some one special
Preference
Only priority
World
Life
World
Priority
Preference
Someone special
Some one
No one
Come...let me give you a hug
To take your pain as mine
For I can't see you burn in pain...
Keep your mind straight and firm
For success of your goal
With fitness not neglected
Move in confidence , sure to win !!

Glory and fame might envy your rivals
Sternly you don't compete with them
Compete and compare with you
Each day...and every other day
For a better you !!

Throw away the scar of troubles you faced
As each day is a new day if eyes are opened
Walk away from negativity that holds you back
By pooling your energy like sun !!

Stand on your legs firm
That you don't fall down so easily
Come what may like roaring waves !!
Like light in the dark nights
As  guiding whispers in my worries
Building strength in me
To walk alone on my lonely paths
Visible only  to my aching mind
And at times to blurred thoughts
Crystal like on all days and nights
You are my everything ....
Like Sun , Moon , stars and their master!!
You are my pillar..
To lean on
To hold on...
To support
To stand firm !!

You are my life
My love
My breath
My heart
And it's beat !!

You are my sun
Whom I rotate around
You are my days
You are my nights..!!

You are ...
My treasure
To be Proud of
For myself !!

You are mine for me...
But you are not mine!!
That's the irony
For me!!
I stand there
Where you left me....

Untouched ....
From then...
Till now ...

Spending my days and nights
Dreaming to  merge with you....
Like a river that keeps flowing
To merge with the ocean...
I want freedom
Freedom to fly
Freely like a bird
On the wings of my dreams
To the destinations I most like
With no questions asked
No answers to be told
To how when where and why..

I want freedom...
Freedom to be my self...
I like to write my mind
out
For through that I live my life,
stout
In the world of infinite  words and dreams
Created to live the way , a life of my likes ....!!
Moon in the morns
stars with their stares
Keep themselves mum
With the rise of  day's sun !!
Under the dark but jewled sky
With the smiling stars
And shining moon
I sit alone waiting for your arrival
Come ' on dear
Let's have talk
Let's have fun
And let's fall...
To the laughs from that!!
My
Heart sings
Your praise...
And
My
hand writes
those phrase !!
I tried to read
Lines on me
In the book of your mind..
Turned the pages
Back and forth
Innocently curious
To see it in bold letters..
But alas...
Where are those words on me??
That my eyes searched for..
My mind yearned to read..
And my heart eager to rejoice !!
Am I not in your world?
Or did I miss read you?
Who am I to you?
Just a someone  .. ???
Beneath the swaying trees
Where rivers flow silently,
a tale unfolds, as old as the sun.
In God's own country,
where hearts are kind- a partial truth
A mystery lingers in the collective mind.
Of the plethora of wealth that flows in
from lands afar middle east and west.
Yet, some say, the bowl is still empty
With a need for pleading on the loose!!
who are responsible?
With nothing Right and Left to ruins
sightless of lotus bloom
Is it the rulers, with vision unclear
Or silent voices, we struggle to hear?
Where are the famed heaps of wealth?
Of the land, now with begging bowl
it pains on labels, harsh and unkind.
On this land of beauty and endless charm !!
Let the ample fields where spices grow
Make the state, grow and glow
Weaving a story of hope, new and bold
where the future can unfold…
to rise above and find its calm.
for resilience to shine on every face !!
L
L
Left corner of  my left eye
Lets down little drops of lovely tears
Leaving  dried salt on my dull face
Landing on the earth..
Loudly conveying to mind
Love it holds .....
Like, the pain of mind
Like the tears from eyes!!
Liked me and loved me
loved me and left me
Left me and let me..
To die..
I'm dying...
Fluttering sound of raindrops
Flickering lamp light at backdrop
Opened the shutters of my mind
To incessant flow of utterly
ambivalent feelings…..

Glittering memories rolling over past
Wilting  happenings of present
And flattering bright hopes of future!!

And at the far end ...
Lies dried up leaves withered down
Greeny grown up leaves on trees drenching in rain
With tiny leaves sprouting out...

Hopefully....life flows on !!
