20/F I want to be a poet someday.
The years and time siphoned Out the life of that tall standing tree. As the wind cankers its dry branches; a ruthful vagabond, The tree, of its teeming duties remains free. Somewhere, you can see its lushy green, The twittering garden, breezy dance and impalpable glory, The soul savory colors and seasonal reigns, reflecting In the ether of earth rooted memory.

Vibrant Dead Colors

No answer Hey, I feel terrible, can you come visit me? Delivered

Narcissus
Tcha Tcha! Tcha Tcha Tcha! A squirrel hears my calling. Tcha ... Tcha! I sit idly. With every calling, It leaps forward, Carefully tracing its steps. Tcha Tcha! I extend my fingers, while in my mind, I fear it might bite me. Tcha! It finally comes near me, sniffs my extended finger. As I try to touch it, It leaps away from me. Tcha Tcha! The desperate calling now makes it stop few steps away. It turns to stare at me. Then leaps away further. I keep calling, in hopes, it'll come back. Tcha Tcha!

The 'Tcha Tcha' Calling
I When the firecat bristled over Oklahoma, The green lushy bushes trembled and thrilled. II Did he try to find a tree in that night?- When the valley candle converged upon its image. III I look at the dead tree But I know A green bud is finding its way out From beneath the ground. IV The glossy leaves Are bangles of an armed tree. It fires out the life when the wind blows. V The green algae in the sea bed Shimmers blue in the moonlight. It's the ritual to summon the Sun. VI The barren winter is soon ending. The green is shedding its weary skin. VII I look at the green leaf, The green tree, The green hill, The green in my mind And the green in yours. Are they the same green? Let me change my lens! VIII The forest green welcomes me, May that forest forever stay in our blind spot. May its green stay green And not dusty of some underdeveloped road track. IX Outside the window: The Golden Oriole and a Great Coucal Sit on the faraway tree. They came to see the Drongo's air dive. Ahead of the blue-green endless sky, a swallow prepares for its 'better' dive. The trees gossip on swallow's act, And in the greener shade A stream hums with airy beats. X When I see a dry tree I lend it some of my green. 'I have seen you in glory; it shall return.' XI Watching the green frames, Change throughout the seasons Is alike a flower blooming. The winter night wilts it And the spring morn teems it. XII It is the color of life. A state of calm tranquil. The trees in the hills Moving in unison Marks how alive the wind is. XIII While the valley candle kept burning And flashing on the firecats fury; I borrowed his lens of green. It was broken.

The tree cradling the twitter of birds and the squirrel's call Outside my bedroom window, now-doesn't stand tall. It was the source of my delight. A tree, on my way to work, just yesterday- It was tall with vibrant blooming buds. But today, it doesn't veil the sky's grey. My favorite tree on the sidewalk, They shunned its leafy arms from rising higher- It was interrupting the electric wire. While their dead stories are littered around the street like a treasure And their lonely roots away from the day's light, Their glory days remain etched in my vision forever.

Lonely Roots
Don't ignore the Uncountable wailing prayers Echoing beneath the oppression chambers. The dead voices, or the living ones; Coming from a palace of humanne grief. Don't ignore them. Don't find pride in the corrupt patriarchy of religions. Don't seek for shelter in your god, The one who forgives you by repenting for your bad act. The one who abandons the victims labelling them as the 'part of great cause' or 'sacrifice for greater good'. Don't **** yourself because your god didn't save you. Don't **** the helpless for the sake of your god. **** your god, The one who allows it. The one who allows ********** And aborts your sacred vows. The hypocrite that wounds the god in you. The ruler that stays still when he has the power to change. The psychopath that smirks at your spiritual suffering, And wheels it in endless cycles. **** your god, If you cannot do so, Set him free from those heavy chains of the past, From the dark locked room in the depths of your innervision. Let him see the light of each day, Let him see the world, Teach him the morales, Those which you casually shove into people's faces. Teach him once, twice, thrice,...- Till he learns the distinct good and the distinct bad. Liberate him or let him perish Either way, "God Is Dead".

Liberation
Every time when the wind carries itself From here to there, In the midst of the grey, The trees welcome its grace With gossips and claps. And the sky that roofs this Earthly sight Steams up in delight and pours out the pearls. The land rejoices upon the gifts showered from the heaven And tunes out soft happy melodies. Thunder, that courses through the distant horizons Declares its presence now and then And swiftly in a flash, traces- in its divine light; The play of the dark That has long reigned the night.

A Play In The Dark
I wish to be the flying speck of the dandelion whole That curves the fabric of the divine wind. I wish to be the ripples That shatters the smooth orifice of the calm lake. I wish to be the reflection of the diving fishing bird That penetrates and vanishes into the deep blue ocean. I wish to be the dancing shadows of the trees; The dark side of the Sun. When the orange sphere hides behind the hills, I wish to be the lingering silence that follows the night. And when it appears again- high and bright, I wish to be its warm radiance that nourishes the day. I don't mind being the dusty swirl of wind Or the dying steam of water. Neither do I mind being the wilting flower Nor the ceasing trace of fire in the coal. For, it is my ample wish to be all, or be none, To be eternal or be gone.

Ample Wish II
In the stillness of the moody weather, The delirium whispers, "come hither"; I walk with tiny cautious steps in the dark. Extending my arms and swaying to your view that is stark. When I close my eyes in the day, You cease alike a flickering fire; Only to appear a little farther away, And say to me, "Look at that glowing spire". I look at the spire- Amidst the many others, it's the only one that's glowing. When I turned to you, you were already a dying fire. And I unfold my eyes to a cold wind blowing.

A Stark Silhouette
It all makes sense, that it is not in the mortals to create beauty and leave them hidden in the most absurd places; always visible and yet overlooked. It will all make sense, when late in the night, you sit outside and the smell of blooming Jasmine fills the air, the crickets chatter loud and proud while a silent melody takes over. It will all make sense, when in the early morning, you sit by yourself and look at the palm of your hand, flip it back and forth and trace the lines. It all makes sense, that the divinity resides all around us and within us.
