Winner or looser
Final result matters
Attained the goal set
All the right steps met
Inability to reach
Target out of reach
Winner or looser
Be the survivor
Both are hurdles
Complacency and Arrogance
Loaded in to the thought
Esteem and Confidence
Unloaded from the heart
All stumbling blocks
Double edged sword
Both sides hurt
Path to defined
Not to meander
Given more power
Winner or looser tag
Become the beholder
Climbing the mountain
Rolling down boulders
Avoiding both the dangers
Without causing a murmur
Become a survivor
Once on top
What is next
Another peak to climb
Or start all over again
Not yet reached
Failed the climb uphill
Does not mean Its downhill
Take it as it comes
The best that one can be
You are not me
I am not you
Everyone is unique
If want to be branded
Be the survivor
Whose route is unclear
Confused further by
Those who reached
Those still at the nadir
Glad to be in the middle
Trying to solve the riddle
Various paths available
Thought process to juggle
Up down or halfway
Does not matter
Lessons learnt from the travel
Forever grateful and thankful
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Events in a sequence
Not very pleasant
Taking the decision
A time of inconvenience
Coming to the conclusion
Not a good time
Know very little
Arranging and Analysing
Assuming it is trouble
Rationalising how to handle
Unknown on the fray
Beyond our ability
To understand the game
What is bad we thought
Need not be bad
Can turn out either way
Will only know as day progresses into another day
Finding logical reason
In what has happened
Leads to more frustration
There is a gap
A logical nightmare
Lying there somewhere
If not things will be
As it were
To put you in this loop
Nature was ready with its tools
Taking it as a given
From that moment
Is the easiest solution
To handle the so called problem
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Declared dead
Reference to life
Lived in this planet
No more to the rest
Burnt or Cremated
Six feet under or
Smokes of a fire
Burning the dead
For the first time
Since birth
Refered to as The Body
Name given Education learnt Position held Money saved
Etiquette used as prefix
In Relation to the family
All forgotten suddenly
Holds no value or sanctity
Body replaced by day
Recalled for remembrance
Reduced to that date
Out of sight
Out of mind
Human experience so far
Out of body
Burnt to ashes
Buried under concrete
Potrait decorates the walls
Lest we humans forget
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Taken away by fate
That was written to end this day
Nature had its way
Sequence of events to have its prey

Boy with great talent
Achievements to meet the high standards
Of impeccable manners
Level headed and calm demeanor

Winning his second nature
Made it a habit to persevere
Every category grew in stature
Won matches along with hearts every year

Loved by all
Players Parents and Coaches
His trophies carry his memories
Forced to rely on memory
Because of this tragedy

No way to convey
Our Hearts go out
His family and friends
A boy who transcended clubs

May be was sent
With a purpose to tend
No other answers i have
To a tragedy of this size

Cannot share the grief
To give his parents relief
Understand it very deep
The sorrow that has seeped

Does God love
Him more than us
He wanted him beside
Couldn't find a better child

Life without him
All have to endure
What is to cure
There's no answer

The game is
No more the same
Long live his fame
Carry along his name
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
Indication from God
An event transpires
Seen as a trailer
Before the movie releases
Linking the events
Foretelling the fortunes
Gets done akin to a doctrine
Screening the film yet to be filmed
God not a weatherman
Warnings not his way to be
It is what it is
Will be what it will be
Interpreting the incidents
Using reason to come to conclusions
Based on an irrational comparison
Of an earlier occurance
Take each as it comes
Not more not less to confirm
Future may turn out
To be a sequel as predicted
Can't still be edited
The way you want it projected
If not a follow up
Only time is wasted
Extrapolation acting like a Vestibule
Connecting the coaches
For a brief period the mind Oscillating like the swing that holds the child travelsFORETE

friends meet up
At a hotel for a cup
One said i had a dream
That i was going fishing
Beautiful the ocean
And the bright blue sky
The other said i too had one
That i am going for dinner
With Gina Lollabrigida
The first guy got agitated and asked
Why did you not ask me to join
For which the friend
Without skipping a, beat said
Ofcourse i did
But you had gone fishing
KV Srikanth Apr 2022
A smile that lights the darkness
Price i would pay to see your lips part ways
Even the gods will not say
More magic than any miracle
That may happen
Shows the doors to heaven
Eyes brighten and the corners go their ways
Radiance pervades as your teeth show their grace
Your voice with its simpering
Even to the angels alluring
Breaking into a smile
Galaxy wonders
If  the constellations were real
Making hearts beat at a rate
Proportional to the smile on your face
One boon bestowed on the human race
Your smiling face
On the empty canvas of the universe
Your gesture radiates the answers
Authentic versions to travels
Across many generations
So beautiful your gesture
Monet wouldn't dare to paint your picture
If Helen had had your Snicker
Homer would have written another 24
