KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Reluctant to undergo
Anymore of the world
The people and their ways
Predicable in some cases
Unpredictable but not surprising
In many of the cases
Keeping up the positive
Outlook to life
Is becoming more of a struggle nowdays
A sense of weariness
Boredom and experience
Feelings that occur
As a reaction
To people's behaviour
Been in here long enough
Experience adds up
Beating my age hollow
Been there done that
Been there seen that
Been there undergone that
Been there felt and thought that
Life has become University
Doling out Degrees
Same subjects more deeper
Till one gets  a Doctrate
Tried to block
Entered into my head
Cynisicm the first emotion
That comes out as a reaction
Recent transactions i had
Led me to believe
All i had learnt was correct
First time around
The savage ways of the world
I was unaware
Internalised it the hard way
Butchered all along the way
This time around
Nothing has changed
Except my head not in line
Under the slaughter machine
My World Weariness
Offering complete protection
People trying the same tricks
Remains at trying
World weariness does not
Stop them
At giving a shot again
To short change or shoo away
They forgot that the tutorial class i attended was marked by them
Didn't realise my marks didn't reflect my learning
Future associations taught me swell
These sharks come across like kids
Who I'm able to handle with my wits
Which were lacking when they did this
Not surprised has taken them totally by surprise
One great thing
That happened to me
After this transformation
Innocence a distant past
Cynical current and present
I understand the films
Chinatown and Night Moves better
Jake Gittes and Harry Moseby played by Jack Nicholson and Gene Hackman
Were probably inspired by the lives
Of people like us
And we look up to them
With a sense of satisfaction
We are living them in life
They lived us in character
Which they also borrowed from their lives

Of all the gin joints all across the world she had to walk into mine
Those who know will understand the quote
Meaning they have sailed in the same boat
We've got him who's seen it all
We've seen it all
We always will have Paris
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Time already spent
On the universe
Antecedent only purpose
Can be traced for value
Clubbed together called
Experience
Comes in handy if used with sense
Let it remain
As a cluster
Fills the void called ignorance
Filter and balance it
It merges the subconscious with
The field from which we pick our daily  drill
Becomes a poison
If permanently retained
Biggest casuality the Present
Will go unnoticed can't be regained
Mixes with thoughts and feelings
Colored vision at everything
Anger and frustration integrated
Like the remains of a fortress
That used to be a fortress
Even nostalgia which brings with it
Only the pleasant of the past
Wanting us to relive it
Unable to forget it
Is a path that the mind travels fast
A small trigger enough
Like the bullet out of a barrel
Towards its target
Nostalgia too is an obstacle
For being in the present
Let it remain in the sub conscious
Recline  on that as an intermission
Past is Poison
If the filter is broken
Lessons to learnt
Is why that happened
Lessons missed because the teacher was not equipped
Does not make the subject invalid
Throw the book Learn the lesson Store the crux
Forget the teacher Move on to the next
Repeat the process
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Facing s situation
Not under our control
Next step of action
To be well thought out before taken

We call it problem
Unwelcome and harmful
To be dealt with
Has to be overcome

The problem with the problem
Is it takes over the mind
Gets thought process to focus all the attention on it
Woefully takes the form of Worry

The formless form
Uses its description to its advantage
Can't point at it
Takes more forms and diverts

Causes more damage
Than already is
Worry bring focused on
The problem is as it is

Not accepting a situation
Takes the form of a problem
Inability to come to terms
Causes the stress that comes

Acceptance pushes out worry
Mind now focussed fully
Dealing with the issue at hand
No distraction standing behind

Time and energy
Taken to worry
Diverted to address and
Solve the issue

You face the problem
You worry about it
Your thinking overcomes it
You get freed of it

The problem is not outside
The problem is you
If it is solved inside
There's none outside
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Sailing away to seas away
Thoughts swaying on whether to stay
Home with security and care
Loved ones with woes to share

In search of a future
Bright as the morning sun
Also mixed in pleasure and fun
Far off horizons waiting to enlighten

Travel and education
Two knots of the cradle
Lullabies of wisdom
Imparted  with momentum

Landing on the shores
Waves hitting the deck
Still missing the folks
Optimism the guard making sure you don't fall

In search of something
You already had from  the beginning
Why take the journey
Search needed in order to realise that the search is not needed

Looking back waves recede
As if to tell you to proceed
Fail and again and take the rap
Never learnt if still with mom and dad

Enter the process
Has no exit to offer
Process the answer
Learning even when falter

Experiences stored in memory
Will tell your life's story
Decides the human being you are
Life is always played on par

Your night is their day
That's the way nature made
Writing your life's first draft
Never say goodbye cause you ain't apart

Appeal and Magical
Womans Lure
Curriculum at School
Values at home
Seldom include

Happens to all
Age no bar
Objectified at first
Finds its place
On a to do list

Neighbor Is a start
Teacher is not far
Set high the bar
Silver Screen
Provides it all

Neighbor Teacher Actor
All from afar
Emotions mixed
Guilt adds a twist

Category in a Sport
Age defined emotion
Heart demands action
With its brain a friction

Mystery and Mystique
Adds to the Allure
To know if true
One has to mature

Lucky if beautiful
Unlucky if not
Qualified by looks
Quantified by wealth
Strategy in play as well

Eyes of the beholder
Never more truer
Beauty skin deep
Philosophy to seek

Art to master
Good with women
Feelings not at play
Skill  paves way

Question the source
All in natural course
Clarity absent
Emotion present

Fantasy  or Reality
****** or nobility
Purity a necessity
Turmoil insanity

Quotes and Idioms
Dime a Dozen
Marriages made in heaven
Peace in fusion
Entire human race
Gods grace

Emotion Divine
Feelings Sublime
Process Spiritual
Lucky the individual

Logic and reasoning
Passion and desire
Abscence of Harmony
Melancholy in Sanctity

Foundation laid
At tender age
Seeking Intimacy
Fulfilled or frustrated
Cheerful or Crestfallen
The Heart wants
What it Wants
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Let me tell you a secret
Most contradictory statement ever
Made by the immature
Only the mature can keep its honor

Information idea or incident
From opening the soul finds its origin
Does not have a destination
Guarding it requires determination

Foundation  is trust
Respecting it a must
Basic requirement being loyal
Passed on an act of betrayal

Not a stock to be traded
Valuing it an act of sin
Championship not to be won
Like a trophy paraded should be berated
Not an autograph to be exchanged
One person to another
Shows complete lack of character

Information is power
Adds value to holder
Not a struggle for one upmanship
Total lack of sportsmanship
Not a gift in times of rift
Gifting  even not an option

Not a movie to be previewed
Word of mouth not  reviewed
Not news to be sold
Should be treated on par with treason

Fear of being judged disclosed
Skeletons in the closet exposed
Reason for a decision stated
Action of the future confessed

Taking in a hushed tone
Calling one to come alone
Waiting for one to leave
Stopping  midway as one arrives
A secret Is at play
Your business or not
Stay away

Eager to know somehow
for gossiping
Digging deep  treasure seeking
Eavesdropping for information
Emotional blackmail
If all other fail

What you dont know
Cannot hurt
Revealing and Recieving
Not in its worth
Another mans misery
Not in your trajectory
Any such transaction
Only path  rejection

Heart is light
Each to his plight
Bow to the person
Who will rather die
Than share this information

Like Duty
No parity
Surety is integrity
Safety guarantee

Stays within
Dies with
No myth
Basic truth
