SUNGLASSES



(c) soulsurvivor
"The future's so bright
I gotta wear shades..."
From a song about a kid
Going into the field of
Nuclear physics... to work at
A power plant.
Very tounge in cheek...
So what I am not wealthy,
I am hale and healthy
So what I am not clever,
I am not a dunce
So what I am not handsome,
I am smart
So what I am not daring,
I am not timid
So what I do not own a house,
I feel at home with nature
So what you do not love me,
I love you as human being
So what I am not popular,
I am not unpopular
So what I am not prominent
I render selfless service
So what I am not in limelight,
I hold my delight
I am content with what I possess
I am the average man of aggregate life
When you are with me. 
you are the world
When you are not with me, 
the world is with me.
Your tongue is sweeter 
than my voice
My voice is softer 
than your tongue
Your strength
is my weakness
My strength 
is your weakness
Are you sure
we lead a balanced life?
A pair of eyes to see
Of ears to hear
Of hands to work
Of legs to stand
Makes life smart

A face to cheer up
A heart to pair up
A mind to pep up
And the love to step up
Make living an art
Love is the bridge
Between the two hearts
Two-way love is
The only way to lovely life
Your love is stale
My love is post dated
We can not bank upon

Deep in  the Ocean of Time
Right into the layers of space
Dwelling through infinite dimensions
There existed an atom

It searched for a friend
Found one to its taste
Lost an electron
Gained an electron
A bond was then formed

It has no name
But there was no worry
For name is but an identification

But see there's some more atoms
And they too did the same
A little bit of sacrifice
For love needs it
Lost an electron
Gained an electron
A bond was then formed
They started dancing

Growing in complexity.
Living things, masses of atoms for they were
Dancing a pattern ever more intricate
DNA and protein
Cells and tissues
Life came
At long last man came

He was the observer
Who measures the universe
Out of the cradle
Onto the dry land
Here it is standing
Atoms with consciousness
Matter with curiosity
Stands in the ocean of time
Wondering
Aye
I, a universe of atoms?
Or an atom in the universe?
To Richard Feynman (again)

Posted long back.

I think this is my best poem (proper) till date. Most of the times I manipulate ideas to twist them into poems (almost all of them very short). But rare few times they flow into a verse of quality. This, I think, is one such, excluding haikus.

Want to see how friends here receive it. Of course few of them might have read it.
All smiles are not same
Pick up the right one
Times have changed in favor
Set your clocks in return

Given to dharmas, my ignorance. (?)
Given to paths crossing, to others leaving one
far cast from the shore, my trust. (?)

No current floats alone in the ocean.

Drop by drop be led,
thanking all the way
each unseen life and silver fish guardian,
towards the veracious
colored ring
forever in the distance,
deep and
deep.

Given to the kalpas, my passion. (!)
Truculent waves of time behemoth
rising from the depths
ripple the surface
and show those that thought you long forgotten
the beauty, in the shallows,
of the sunset broken,
dancing. (!)
Often people prefer safe alibis to lie
Than dangerous reasons to be true
Words and thoughts 
are squabbling within.
More than the poem,
my peace is at stake.
