Wanting to want
Things like before
Past makes perfect sense
Never going to be in the tense
Inability to guage
Present and future state
Colored vision prompting
Eyes looking backwards
In reverse in the present
Looking back not ahead
If time travel were a reality
Not the past but future we'd all  like to see

Art of living without living
No pre conceived notion
No baggage to carry
Be in the now
Grateful for that
Learn everyday from everyone
Whatever crux that has been learnt
Untie the boat Let the negatives flow away
Retain the learning
and Sway
Rocking the boat
Rocking it unnecessary
Get on board
The feet deaf to the sound of the footsteps
The silence inside manifests
As the discreet outside
Teaches you loud and clear
Only if you are willing to hear

What is yours
Will meet you midway
As long as you
Don't stand in its way
Or stand in your own way
Having no way as way
Way without way showing the way

Weakest link in a chain
Decides it's endurance of pain
Targeted again and again
None of it will remain

Personality and character
Decides if you are the weaker
Easy target picked by the stronger
Tear you to pieces available no longer

Insulted and Ignored
Snubbed and ridiculed
Pardoned as a favor
Called upon to continue later

Asked to leave with ease
Not considered an entity to please
Swatted away across the seven seas
Self respect lynched now on your knees

Opinions ideologies and tastes mocked
Value judgements on your skill passed
Not even offered a chair to be seated
Derided with no good intended

Not unique to any
Experienced by so many
Treated as a joke and found you funny
Turn your very presence into a mockery

Survival of the fittest
Daily put to test
You the practice target
Not very hard to get

Defenition of s weakling
This is the sampling
Will there be poetic justice
Will they get their comeupance

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

Don't get lost
In the tough path
Knowing who you are
Identity crisis may last
Are you the successful person
Who sets targets achieves his goals
Are you feeling inferior because your goals were wrong
And plans didn't work
Defined by the clothes you wear
Are you the popular one or the one no-one misses at all
Are you with friends and family
Or alone and lonely
Two sides of a coin
Choices to be answered
By questions raised daily
Cultivate natural behaviour
Trust your instincts
Be sure of not aping others
Deep down at the core
You will one day know
Who you are
Your real identity
Answer coming from inside
Never be wrong or right
It will be
So just be

Why were we born?
What purpose do we serve
By our birth ?
We all are soon gone
Nothing is permanent we were told
Now we ourselves know
How does contribute positively work?
Why do we brand the folk?
Each is unique and unaware of this trip
The next stop its going to take
Or is there a stop at all
What is success?
What is failure?
If both are temporary in nature
Accumulated knowledge on a subject
Makes feel worth the while
Someone disinterested in that subject
Doesn't matter what we project
Why do we try?
To get affirmation
From others about our usefulness
Useful to who ?
Useless to who?
Why is being part looked down upon?
Why do we want to stand apart?
Stand apart is to stand alone
Why be alone
Why be special
There is no limit to feeling special
An ambitious mind
In an illusionary world
And the joys and sorrows that follows
Answers find in any philosophy chosen to follow
Ask yourself these questions
Answers lie wherein
Use philosophy to explore
What you know and don't know
If the philosophy doest answer
It is not meant to be learnt
The baggage is not cleared at any boarding gate
Follows you wherever you go mate
No escape no solution to these questions
Till answers found keep asking them

Educated and foolish
Illetterate and Wise
Need not be the case
Staring at life face to face
One must have insight
Ability to discriminate
Find his true place
Or else blame fate
Wisdom the ability
Understanding the reasons
Of past frailty
Merged within consciously
To be appropriately used when the past repeats itself repeatedly
Albeit not identical
Ability to handle
Far more rational
No left over
Start a clean slate
Ability to educate
Using the past as a template
Never fooled again
Nothing to do with the other
But next time he deals you better
Wisdom had the power
To send the message
That the learning has started
Lessons being learnt
Mistakes never repeated
Badly never treated

Missing my mentor
Who gave me all
taken away by god
Too early my thought

Having conversations with him
Narrating the  jokes that he enjoyed
A  style that i employed
Every time he would have a whole hearted laugh

Continuing the same
In his absence
Me playing both  the roles
Inside my heart and acting out .

Talking with colleagues on a project
He ends up as the  main  subject
Regaling with laughter his encounters
Hours  spent on his many conquests'

Wish he was here
So that i don't have to play two roles.
Wish he was here
So that he did not exist in memory alone
Wish he was here
So that i could talk to him some more
Wish  he was here
So that i could apologize for my mistake
Wish he was here
So that i could thank him more
Wish he was here
So that i don't have to think of him .
Wish he was here
So that he was not a recall
Wish he was here
So that i never learnt the meaning of grief
Wish he was here
So that i can live in peace
Wish he was here
So that he was here

Favorite movie star
Very civil all at par
Invisible ego plays below par
From the pages of an Elmore Leonard novel an all out war

Reason for conflict
Where none benefit
Cannot be confined in logic
Relationships broken very tragic

Discernment of the thought
Refinement in taste
Both questioned in haste
Scabbards thrown in all consuming rage

The first 3 moves of a Shindy
Mimics that of a Shogi
Predicted and stolen a march
Bruised esteem hanging for dear life

Below the belt attacks
No more fair or unfair
Trading insults at random
Depths delved never could fathom

Keeping the powder dry
Packing heat twisting the knife
Ace in the hole to go nuclear
Going for the jugular

Fallacy in desecrating the individual
Pulling out all stops and irrevenrential
No more his position or stance
Knees knocking together heart rate faster than horses at a race

Wanting someone eat out of you hand
Spilling your water only to slip on it
Freudian slip overshooting the mark
Hitting the target but missing the point

Movie Music or Sports
Political ideology or its flag bearer
Keep it in your heart else
Lifelong  bonds go on parole

Shouting at the top
Against something
That you would spend
A lifetime defending
If cause not so deep to
Die with your boots on
Hear the other opinion and simply Walk On

Drunk in your thoughts
Your face in my heart
Withdrawal bring stone walled
Search for the next high
Not required at all
Till i take the missteps
That of a drunkard
The floor always ready
To take my fall
Lying on the floor
Not good for esteem
But i willingly seek it
Thinking about you is no sin
Loss of pride by the pavements side
But every thought filled with alcohol
Brewed by your existence
Ego takes comfort
That a poet on a later day
Might set to words
A composer set
It to tune
To be played
For time to come
Abstensnce needs the
Greatest antidote available
The will to forget
Which i do not have
But if the price of immortality
Is to bear the burden
Added to your existence
The title of a dipsomaniac
To be carved
On my Stone
Whoever said that Wounds
Do not hurt those who depart
Never had to feel the despair
Life spent in longing to possess and to have

Woman in Life
A matter of Pride
****** divide
Only in the head

Seeking a career
Striving like anyother
But only harder
Capabilities in order

Ability to think
Comprehend and perceive
If the women were to recieve
Marks for their ability to conceive
Final result one
Simply cant believe

Termed Weaker ***
Called fairer ***
Both used facetously
Gender inequality
Living on the fallacy

Muscle size compared
Womens place declared
Strength put to test
Made to feel less

Narrow vision
Mental condition
Complete regression
Humiliate by aggression

Female a gender
Mistaken for ***
Weaker or Stronger
Comes into play
Biased and Opinionated
Thought originated
Without any debate
Already concluded

Thinking hazy
Conclusion fuzzy
Woman as an entity
Place in Society
Lacking objectivity
In its entirety
Thinking lies futility

Womans right to compete
Not for others to concede
Right by birth
Talent no dearth

Gender equality
In name only
Woman of quality
Credit to sexuality

Women live longer
Logical they are healthier
Study harder
Progress farther

Middle headed humanity
In reality a calamity
Women viewed in totality
Parity and inferiority

Conditioned by Society
Personal prejudice aplenty
Corrupted vision to see
A Woman as a Woman

To be pursued
In order to be persuaded
Law of nature provided
Preyed and Prosecuted
Paraded and Prostituted

Intellectual and equal
Responsible and capable
Leadership of the world
Not beyond A womans fold
Courage during calamity
Problem processing faculty
Calm and collectively
At ease with their personality

Biological differences
Harmonial changes
Childbearing and nursing
Endurance and pressure
Proven handled better

A world without poverty
Cause with Nobility
Gender equality
Always a reality
Remove the ambiguity
Remains Clarity

Woman has freedom
Nothing to fight for
World were a better place
Woman are to die for

Oldest cliche used
Remember your mother
Is a woman
Perfect reminder
To put our act together
Respecting an honor
Integrated in behavior
Objectify a Woman
God save the demon

Division in religion
Difference in Origin
Hostility in Countries
Inequality amongst individuals
Environment nightmare

No more no less
Very essence Spiritual
A Woman is a woman
Required and requested
Nothing from beginning

Woman of substance
Bow in their presence
Treat them equally
A truth with Finality

Setting up a goal
Future now a post
Wanting to be that
Without knowing what
To work towards an unknown
It remains till it becomes a known
How do you know a unknown
Will fetch you the throne
Basis for deciding a destination
Never visited before
Calling it as ambition
Justifying the action
How does one decide
To do what he does
Calls it life's purpose
Wouldn't he have been there in the first
Peer pressure a reason
Following the footsteps
Necessarily need not lead to the same doorstep
Carefully watch your step
Don't know the end result
What is it that drives
To be one step ahead
To be the best
Rather than just to survive
Chosen Target to achieve
Felt passionately naturally
Target it ceases to become
It has to be your own
Can happen at any point
Trial and error method not wrong
Clarity a overrated virtue
Irony that there can be clarity
Never been there already
Always wondered how
People know why
Laying foundation for their future
Not sure if the building is coming up anywhere closer

Tool to talk
Convey and Stop
Tone tells the emotion
Words mirror Class

Speak your heart
Censor the part
That will drive you apart
Because of your talk

Words spoken
Forever remain
Kind and compassionate
You win over hearts

Out of fear
Talking order
What the other
Wants to hear
Fakeness of thought
Others easily tell apart

Socially decent
Self made commitment
Worthy aim to pursue
Words give the Preview

Tone of Speech
Modulated to reach
Message conveyed
Loud and Clear

Only when asked
Arising out of need
Fulfilling a deed
Required to speak

Talk Slow
Talk Low
Dont say much
A sense of style
Sets apart by a mile

Loud and clear
Not to adhere
Soft and friendly
Already won
People over
Single handedly

Ability to convey
Clarity what to say
Goes a long way
Words at play

Anger dominating thoughts
Control over words lost
Think twice before you speak
Or put the other I'll at ease

Harsh and blunt
Liked by none
Words from lexicon
Quality decided upon

Profanity espouses mediocrity
Sans signals simplicity
Used before women
Embarrassing situation
Severe Association

Indicates character
Others remember
Reveals nature
Judged forever

Soft spoken
Words chosen
Any situation
Gentleman with acumen
Hard earned reputation

Spewing venom
Rude and impolite
Quality of upbringing
Reflects on family
Relationships ending
Even before starting
Jargons hostile
Efforts futile

Visiting card
Given In advance
Anatomy of personality
Percieved immediately
Stamped permanently
Decided correctly
Place in Society
Choice of Vocabulary
Wise choose wisely

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

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

Not surprised has taken them totally by surprise
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

Worry a feeling or a thought
Or just happens inspite off
Link between past and future
Has no role in the present for sure

Ambition and Fear in a relay
Picking up the baton a delay
Time takes its time to deliver
Vacuum of waiting filled with ponder

Immeasurable out their awaited
Worry the Scale used to get graded
Destiny the back up to call it Ill fated
Unabated feeling to feel elated makes worry never dated

Getting rid of worry
Mans biggest worry
Gods and Philosopher s querry
The ferry to put  man out of his greatest quandrary

Respect for oneself
Sense of self
Worth no dearth
Harmony with the world

Lack of esteem
Complex supreme
Seldom content
If nurtured  malignant

Ego defines being
A conscious human
Carries negative connotation
Wrong interpretation

Honor and dignity
Persons sanctity
Built or Born with
Character's bandwidth

Bully and whimsical
Behavior Egotistical
Respect seldom
For self or non

Inflated opinion of oneself
Conceited and centered sense of self
Deep inner lacking
Pinnacle of self loathing

Conceited and whimsical
Bully and Egotistical
Respect for others seldom present
Mirroring the Souls Reflection

Ego defines reality
Egotistical unreality
Line very subtle
Sinking in pride's puddle

Act of Insult
Treat with disrespect
Throw in some slight
To get desired result

Notice of presence
Not taken to offend
Disregard intentionally
Decency not even formality

Ignore to insult
Powderkeg arsenal
Purposeful  communication
Intention not to pay attention


Worthy of insult
Deemed your worth
Ignore the insult
Reverse the result

No price can buy
Sense of pride
No threat can decide
What you are made of inside
Head held high
Till you die
Finite life
Live till you die

Missing when gone
Never to return
One way street
Memories to tweet
Relishing every moment
Wounds of seperation more open
Precious when happened
Took it for granted
Pangs of seperation no different
Played it either way
The outcome remains the same
Detachment a pill
Part only of a saints drill
Emotional human's travails
Seperation readily avails
Its the reality that prevails
Reasoning cannot unveil
Rely on recall
Relive on call
You onto yourself
Enjoy the company alone

Conflict with oneself
Duality end result
Mind Body alignment
Absent due to disagreement

Not at peace
Actions done Ill at ease
Fear about yourself
Manifests outside


Confidence in ability
Another quality
Feeling of disability
Weak personality


Conduct unbecoming and real
Conscience conducting the
Trial
Judgement default right
You cant runaway from yourself

Emotional blackmail
Threat and insistence
Your actions guidance
Life lived on others directions

Sequential bullying
Most worrying
Affects in that moment
Remains moment after moment

Read in books
Heard in lectures
Nothing outside
Everything inside

Fear a lifestyle
Decisions and Actions
Fear filled mind
Faculty denied

Incidents and persons
Cause for confusion
Blaming the outside
Futile lay it wayside

Genesis and basis
Go deep to explore
Cause of Anxiety
With you for posterity

Reason for neurosis
Every day a crisis
Living life by conducting
Rehearsal for dying

Not one but many
Events and humans
Daily resonance
Woven into your 6th sense

Living in a bubble
Pleasing the other
Who not so subtle
While returning the favor


Fake it and make it
Sound way to do it
Aping the brave
Foundation laid

Feeling the fear
Gets you near
Where lies the real answer
Is it going to take a lifetime
To figure ?

God Religon
People and Position

Bully and Law of Nature

There's beggary in the love
That can be reckoned
Replied Anthony when asked by Cleopatra If it be love indeed tell me how much

Your eyes reflect the soul
Both yours and the mine
Most beautiful pair
Glad they are with her
Light up when she smiles
Light up when she cries
Small in size piercing light
Engulfing the heart
Looking at it gives me pride
Lucky enough to look at it

Forehead that of a Goddess
Of a dimension only you posses
Hairline plucked back
Raven haired charmer
Sends out the message
Your heart leads
Capturing others
A place where
People will willingly incarcerate

Pins her beautiful nose
That pinned my soul to her
Long and sharp
Musicians Harp
The Philtrum by defenition
Has no apparent function
You are an exception
The mole placed
Right in the centre
Sets a billion hearts on fire
A rarity that
Your beauty was meant
For glory

Smile that looks
Like a hundred million bucks
See her smile
Seems like a mile
Skips a heartbeat
When the lips part
Not to speak
Memory of her smile
Lasts a lifetime
With happiness
Goes hand in hand
Lips a
Magicians wand
Key that fits my  heart
Makes my day
Day after day
Bright as the Sun
Lights the Night
Is it Patented?

Mysteious and Alluring
Passion Artristry
Behaviour Refined
Passion Contagious
Charisma Elegant
Artistry in the
Way you carry
Elegance by your
Very presence
Embodiment of refinement

Women like you
Define  a Woman
If I'd taken a step
Every time my heart skipped
I'll be holding the stars
Do I gift the stars to you
Or you to the stars
Together you fill the Galaxy
What a sight it would be ?

You exist is the
Very Essence
Of my existence
You not a goal
To be attained by persistence
Get you like a man
Or let go like man
In letting go
Lies the greatest love
Grief and Sorrow
I'll withstand
Hoping you ll be mine tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes
So I still get to have the faith
That one day will be the day
I hoped will be tomorrow

Woke up from a dream
A wonderful one
I didn't want to end
Realised that i had woken up
In my dreams
To realise that was a dream
Continuing to dream
In my sleep
Woke up again thinking it  too was a dream
But was reality staring at me
That i had woken from my first dream

A man carrying his past
Bequeathing he cannot
Chaos in his brain
Dead he rather be
Earnestly repenting for his acts
Facts remain facts
God s feet his abode
Heavens cant cleanse his soul
i the ego stands in his way
Jumbled up emotions block the gate
Knows no other way
Lessening his burden his only goal
Mirage of illusions blocking his path
Never ending battle on the cards
Optimism decreasing by the hour
Paving way for more despair
Quality of life deeply affected
Ramblings of the mind ever increasing
Souls purity questioned
Traveller without a destination
Unable to break the shackles
****** induced sleep
Way to get some peace
Xany days left far behind
Yearning to go back in time
Zenith to Nadir a free ride

A pupil and his master
Walking along the banks of a river
The master observed the fish in the water
Complimented on their happy nature
You're no fish to know the reality
You are not me
To know that I don't know
Replied the master

Only possession a horse
Galloped one day away and far
Bad luck said the townsfolk
Maybe answered this gentle soul

Horse came back
Three more in tow
Now you have four
Nothing more to fear for
Said the townsfolk
Maybe replied this gentle soul

Son tried his hand
Horse riding a life long fan
Broke his leg after a fall
Didn't have the the wherewithal
Sorry about your sons fate
Old enough not to play games
Townsfolk gathered
Time not right said it with might
Maybe replied this gently

War is announced
Army marches unannounced
As many to fight the enemy
Recruiting able boys
Townspeople had no choice
Broken leg declared unfit boy escapes draft
Lucky you said the folks
Maybe replied the farmer gently

Pupil and master
Cross a river
Woman drowning finding it hard to recover
Master Carries her on his shoulder
Leaves her on the banks of the river
Walking into the forests
The pupil protests
Touching a woman out of order
I left her at the other side of the river
Why are you still carrying her
Said the master

Students at a monastery
Unable to gain mastery
Teachers methods unsatisfactory
Questioned his ability
Life in 2 words asks the senior
Everything changes replied the Master

King visits a Master
Teach me the art of Zen
Issues an order
Hours later
King in rage
Not a word did the monk utter
Teacher left his chair
King said this is unfair
Been here a day
You had not a word to say
You came here to learn zen
Unfortunately you didn't pay attention

Learned man in quest
Met a Master with a request
Realization and Delusion
Games played by the mind
Giving and Recieving are figments of our thinking
Truth is Emptiness and Nothingness
Master listened with interest
Took out a Bamboo stick
Struck hard with intent
Man got up with rage
Calmly replied the stage
If nothing is the source
When met with force
From where did spring your anger and remorse

A great master
Teaching his disciples
Jealous of his fame
From afar a man came
Challenged him to a debate
Started off with haste
The Buddha's power
Could stand with a brush
On one side of the river
On the other bank the paper
He could still paint a picture
What is your power ?
Master quipped the only power I possess
I drink when I'm thirsty
I eat when I'm hungry

Keen on acquiring the skills
To be a great Martial Artist
A student asked the teacher
How long will it take to completely master
Ten years was the answer
Written on a paper
I want it earlier
I'm willing work harder
Now what's your answer
20 years he wrote on the paper

Flag fluttering in the blowing wind
2 observing men questioned
Wind is moving said one Its the Flag said the other
Walked by a Zen Master
Neither are moving and it doesn't matter
It's your mind that's moving causing the flutter

Samurai warrior
Met a Zen master
The gates of heaven and hell
The path I need to know please tell
A warrior but look a beggar
Said the teacher with laughter
Angry the Samurai removed
The sword from its sheath
Master replied Removal was the gates of hell
Realizing was the gates of Heaven

Banks of a river
A boy asked a Master
Standing on the opposite bank
The other side how do I land
Kindly lend me a hand
You are already on the other side
Be aware before you decide

Kings asks his teacher
Enlightened Master
What happens to a realized soul
Who's time has come to part this world
I don't know replied the monk
Realised you are hence I asked
Realised I dont know dead defenitely not the master said

Seeking the answers
By questions raised within
A true master doesn't find answers
He simply looses the questions

Search for answers
Not where words are spoken
In Silence lies the solution
Knowledge gained without a word spoken

Angry at another
Hurting none but your inner
Drinking poison hoping
The other person will cease living

Path with problems
Nothing to be concerned
Obstacles obstructing notion
Obstacles is the path in motion

Never stop learning
Accumulation of knowledge
Let go of the learning
Living in Wisdom

Knowing is not enough
Doing it is tough
Knowing and not doing
Is the same as not knowing

A candle can light
Many other candles
Its life not shortened
By sharing the light

See it as it is
Observe it the same
Let go without any blame
Light life's flame

There's nothing now
There's nothing to know
To know there is nothing
Takes the longest time within
