Space and Time
Conceived by man
How to fill it
He hadn't planned
Artists created art
Immortal in its form
Composers created music
With nothing even to imagine
Artists and Musicians
Perform the role of God
By creating a form
From a non existent form
The artists strokes the space
The art form is performed
The conductor waves his hand
Tunes fill the room
Imagining a theme
Giving it a structure
On the stage to exhibit
A talent none can inherit
Nothing to refer
Has to be new to offer
Limited strings on instruments
Unlimited to instruct new variations
Coming together to create wizardry
Necromancy also a possibility
Such is the mastery
Over the craft of the art
By the artist
Who can originate
And the Maestro
Who can dictate
Themes and Notes
To fill up our space and clocks
The overflow of joy
Matter of pride for all
An action of pure divinity
Got to be blessed to be
The one who designs
Transcends the time we created
Will last long after
Even time ceases to exist

Scars of the past
Healed or hidden
Have they become a habit
No more seeming odd
Fear of the future
Past turning out unexpected
Expect the unexpected
Cliche most quoted
Lived long enough to know
Life not linear
Doesn't want it predicted
A rule book to live by
Pages empty or erased
Confused the writer
Replies questions with more questions
Thus is born the seeker
Not in search of the answer
Tracing the question paper
Begins to understand life better

Question and Answer
Similar in nature
Mirage on the inside
Searching for its reflection outside
Illusion equally deceptive
Answers the Mirage
Fooling you into thinking
That you have the right perspective


Quest to find water
Standing in the middle of the Ocean
Not a matter of perception
Ocean and the standing
Both are unreal
Quest to find the quest
The ocean and the I
Will cease to exist

All the stars in the galaxy
Showing us the creators legacy
Fade when her eyes
Gaze at them
The innocence of her smile
Travel a billion miles
The stars wonder
How they got to shine brighter
The glow from her skin
Resplendent from within
The sky a mirror
Sharing her radiance
With the constellation
They take the glory
Of nature's beauty
Her effulgence created it
Presence makes them jealous
But need it for their performance in the night
End up pretending
What else can one do when
They can't do without
On reflected glory they
Being the very  reference
For the formation
Hyades taken a leaf
Borrowing from the  beauty
The Pulsars are wondering
Celestials share their address
How did she end up
In a earthly terrace
End their night s few minutes before
To warn the Sun
What its up against
If the moon can live on borrowed light
Why can't I
It hid behind the clouds
Hoping to see her
Disappointed it could never
Spot her
Welcomed the stars again
Asking them about her
Fooled yourself that
You hid behind the clouds
Her presence made your rays
Impotent at her gaze
Her irradiation illuminated and
enlightened the Sun
Casting shadows on others
Looking back to see
Even if  has a shadow
Given to it by an ethereal angelic frau
Who bests it in Glow

Intensity of affection
As deep as the Ocean
In the line of fire
Look back and there is
A brother or a sister
Standing in line prior

All descendants of
A common ancestor
Sons and daughters
Of brothers and sisters

Childhood spent together
Memorable moments a treasure
Crisis and agony endured
Trouble for one face it as one

Difference of opinion
Occurance most common
Cracks in relationships
Common and relatable

Natural to differ
That's nature's order
Something is out of order
If everything is in order

Strain of the dispute
Taking its toll
Communication the first victim
Distance the result

Does not give pleasure
Only makes one wonder
If it is worth the pressure
Time to take measures

Tragedy or calamity
Brings all under
One roof to ponder
How to tackle the intruder

Family values though by the elders of the house
Foundation laid strong
Value systems where they should belong

Greatest learning in the house
Lessons learnt from each other
Mother father no different to each other
Sense of oneness no one can teach better


Coming together inspite
At odds with each other
Pushed to the corner
Face us together

Times have changed
Families have grown
Independent on their own
Comfortable in their zone

All had mentors
Uncle's and brothers
Who shared their knowledge
Made life easier to tackle

A lifeline and an anchor
Provided when needed
All get together
Gods answer to the prayers

Our family is special
Oneness its Core
Whatever might have transpired
Value systems remain unchanged

In times of difficulty
There is no other place I'll be
In times of making merry
No other place I'd record in my memory
Just to be together
No other place I'll let the clock remind me
Many regrets i have but not the place I grew to be what i was to be
All the money all the fame all the power
I'd still want to learn life
From those who taught me
What it is to be
A Good Human Being

Victims of War
Wherever they are
Displaced from homes
Do we even know
What it means
Handful of needs
Sons and daughters in tow
Elderly parents to accompany
Cozy surrounding of their home
To the streets of the country
Familiar with
A few thousand steps
A country not familiar with
All the while
Life ready to flee
Leaving the bodies behind
An gunfire or an explosion
The reason to abandon
A statistic for the Anchor
Hope he has enough covered
To run his program in order
The more the merrier
As the viewer interested in hearing about danger
If its the weather
His finger finds another number
On the remote control
Only thing over which he
Has any control
Resident to Refugee
Pathetic for the world to see
Politics Economics  and weapons
Supposedly for the people's betterment
Now nomads holding their lifeline
No oil pipeline makes no difference to their lifestyle
Oppression the tool
Oppressed the fool
Searching for food
Women and children starving
The winner continues counting
More you ****
More you injure
More you destroy
More you mutilate
The more families you seperate
The more you make them afraid
And finally totally anhilate
Proclaimed the winner
More medals and badges
Added to those who participate
How can ones misery
Be another ones Glory
The more you help fight difficulty
The more you are in god's country
The first thing the world needs
Is not a world without borders
But a world without defence forces
They don't seem to defend anything
But under that pretext go for mass killing
Testing nee missiles
Calling them as successful
Is there a greatest sadist
Whose sucess rate is marked
By the amount of blood splattered
Army Navy Airforce
Can hitherto come to a close
Let the people live in peace
Which even otherwise is hard to achieve
Every extra breath a bonus
Considered to be lucky
What have we come to
A real pity
Let everyone benefit
From natural resources
Or inventions and discoveries
Border denotes a different sect
Race Creed Caste Colour
Born in that order
For no fault of theirs
On the run from the squads
Knocking on other countries doors
To get a pass
Wait with bated breath
Already in shortage
For them to take a call
This is the depths
Humanity has slipped
Animosity has replaced affinity
Benevolence with Callouness
Empathy with Cruelty
Conscience with Economics
Humanity dropped humaneness
Nothing is left to hope
Fear has drowned faith
Hope and faith thrown away
Where will I get food the next day
Have a parade
Declare a national holiday
For the future generations to say
That the had been brave
To seek out is bravery
To **** is cowardice
In a world that's got it backwards
Is where humans sans humanity live

Seen it all

Took his casting call
Live long live healthy
Deserve this and more
For painting stories of reality and fantasy
With ease

Edge of the seat
Life led with
*** drugs and rock n roll
See it all
Decided to follow
College Work Marriage
Replaced with pedal on the metal
Brake only when you see God
Survive to tell the tale
Or the brake didn't give the break
Took you away
Your story tells the tale
Better than you would narate
Both ways you pay
But a good trade
As others learn that the way
Is a one way
