KV Srikanth Sep 2022
A feeling so deep
Has no logic to it
Expressing the affection
Sometimes without reason
Thought process has intelligence
Intellect weighs the pros and cons
Love has none
Only a  clean heart
That does no math
Sharing it with
Someone or something
Greatest pleasure of giving
Is actual real living
Must have it in us
To begin with
Can't share what we don't have
Like patience love is
A proactive act
Gets accumulated in us
As we filter out the negatives
We ourselves destroy the false image
Architects being our experiences
Honest expression of ourselves
Is what remains after
That is the garden of Eden
Where love overflows
Filling us of our share
Share the rest to show that we care
Gratitude and empathy
Sympathy in Symphony
Pressing the right chords
Hoping for the best
Happy that we are blessed
Naturally being a mirror
That the same is felt by the rest
Valuation of our lives
We do almost daily
But forget in that process
What we possess daily
The most precious treasure
Is not in being its sole proprietor
But  in being generous
Making it our equity
Even if it makes our hearts heavy
The lack of lacking
Makes love flow freely
The river of no return
But every droplet cleansing out soul
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
The life of Bruce Lee
That daily inspires me
Gives me a purpose
His philosophy Jeet Kune do
Teaches me to reach but
Does not preach

Serves as a Doctor
When I'm hurt and wounded
Deep in my Soul
Whatever the reason
Born a human
I don't need one

Coach and enabler
Let's me find my answer
Enabling my search
By adding wisdom
Which he imparts so well

Dons other roles
The tales he told
By his acting roles
Gives me pleasure
Watching him enact
Movement in stillness
Speed faster than
My eyelids closing
Making me wonder
Was he human

A friend he is
When he says
Its alright to loose
Offering the greatest gift
A friend can part with
The Will to face
Humanity's self created race
Where i too chase
Dreams that are dear
Far or near

Simple quotes for living
To keep the days going
Has said so many
Makes the living easy

His life was his message
Lived by  the words
Answers he got
In his search
Shares them with all
Everyone gets the feeling
He wrote it all
With me in his thoughts
He addressed me directly
Like he does millions independently

Life an inspiration
His fight to cross
Every block that was tossed
To put him at a loss
Walked the talk
Never doubted his skill
Used his own philosophy
When he went for the ****

Making the impossible
Into a reality
Workaholic in days
Replaced the hours
Days on end
On the film set
Till he fainted
Literally in his fight
To paint his life's canvas
Small budget films
Made in Cantonese
  Restricted in budgets
Second take a leisure
Never enjoyed the pleasure
Had to still deliver
With all its restrictions
The 5 movies he acted
As an adult
Did not just
Become box office hits
But part of cultural history
In everybody's conscious memory
Simple and direct
Easy to follow
Work ethic laid before
Sweat the secret
Of success galore

Greatest role for humanity
The god of anti bully
As a savagely bullied kid
Continuing till i was an adult
Stopped the second
I started studying him every second
Standing tall by my side
The bullies know what
They will get

No sacrifice big enough
Immortality bestowed upon
A  light shining
Twice as bright
Lives half the life

Thank you Bruce
Teacher Guide and friend

Lives amongst us in 2022
Only to guide you
By being with you

Search for answers
From questions arising within
Questioning the given
Seeking its meaning
Feeling or recognising
A Cosmic divine
To impart wisdom
Personal contact with God
A path chosen by seeking
Not following a set pattern
Not denying any belief
Or accepting them for relief
The search is neccasary
To realise that the search is not necessary
Where do the answers lie
In the experience or in the devotion
In our pursuit of in the turmoil
Is it within or without
Inside or outside
does the answer lie in the question
Or is there no question at all
Vanishing the moment you ask it
Knowing the Answer
Triggers the questions
Where did we begin
That we are looking for the end
Did we begin at the end after all
How does the journey start
At the end
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
Our relationship with the other
Smooth flowing as a river
Riding like tides
Getting away like the waves
Breaking nature's barriers like a Tsunami
Still like a millipond
Calm flowing and crashing
Where do you stand
Does the bond
Make you feel
Like a duck takes to water
Or a fish out of water
Or in hot water
In the presence of water
Makes you calmer
Because of its natural cool temperature
Can become hotter and turn to moisture
Where does the correlation
Stand in your favor
Water an analogy
To be the centre of the study
Of the link and connection
With any other human
Study water and it's layers
Clear understanding forms
On dealing with humanity
Strong or fragile
Answers can be got
Know your starting point
Set your target
Be like water
Be water
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
The present being
Ever present in the present
Being in the present
Which is only present
Present never ceases
As every moment is present
Awareness of the present
Makes one feel the present in its prescence
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
Politics drives the sport
Skill and Sweat take the back seat
The players fill the seats
The committee's benefit from these deals
Tasted power through others talent
Threatened constantly as they have none
Seek to hold on
By destroying the careers
Of those who put them there
About whom they don't seem to care
Dealings and negotiations overtake
Ballot and draws
Power to misuse
Makes the player
Who had spectators
Standing in queues
Hang up  their shoes
Without getting their dues
KV Srikanth Sep 2022
Looking life ahead
Twists and turns
Taking you back
Where it all started
Lost in the maze
Hope and faith
Illuminating the path
Or so you thought
All you did was wander
Only the shadow
Never left you apart
Quagmire of darkness
Cast its sheath far and wide
Dimming the glow
That the light wants to throw
Unravel from within
For the maze an illusion
Inner quest illuminates
The labyrinth illustrates
The void that resides
Every layer peeled inside
The roads become straight and clear
Transcend the transcript
Blank pages filling it
Mirroring the empty Ness
To be written
Or already written
Page by Page
In great detail
Fill a blank page
With emptiness essays
Nothing from nothing
Is the fullness of life
Explained in detail
By the empty sheets
For you to discover beneath
