Through Eastern hills, a red ball

Money song
Money O my honey
Makes You a minister
Money O my Honey
Makes pauper sinister!
Money brings sweet nothings
Maiden Damsel loves and sings
World to feet one blink it brings
When gone Ay You ****** Jinx!
Money..O my Honey
Makes and Mars so many things!
Pastures passed are to the hind
Memories lovely to the wind
Jiggles Pebbles  Mind is Lake
Joy and Sorrow sweep ashore and creak break
MOney..O my Honey..
Will do undo anything
Money O my honey
Makes beggar or a King!
Also major contribution by Sri Vanam Venkata Varaprasadarao, a brother figure for a film planned by me.

Hello Poetry ClaSICK
Love life
Pain and sad
Depressive heart
Your death thoughts hurt

Ah! It's a brilliant poem
Epic daily
And it's a great poem sir,
It's a classic

Yes! A ClaSICK
This is what I feel sometimes when I see the main page of HP. That's why I sometimes don't even check it

Btw, Where is Raj Arumugam? He must come out of his sabbatical to light things up :D

Alphaboetry - Poem E
An object is not evil you know?
The root of all evils is money
He
She
Many
Say
Aha! Who can live without it?
You?
He?
She?
No.
No one can. Evil, it's in your mind
Not in that lifeless object Money
Trying my hand at it, creating Alphabet with my words. Here it is E. Let me see if I can do with  rest of the letters :-)

Sylviaaaaaaa......
Eyeful of tears
Mindful of fears
Are the only arrears
She left

That depressed soul
Created a big hole
By leaving her role
In poetry

That decomposed smile
Melted me for a while
I traveled many a mile
For her
Sylvia Plath

Colours of Life
...

The grey began to fade,
As the colours filled the sky,
The chill began to warm,
As the sun began to rise.

Elizabeth Squires
She writes beautiful poetry
Experiments with form and content

Many styles, many ideas
Some vivid, few abstract
but none mediocre

She's the Queen of Haikus
Scored a century recently

And I thank, I had learnt Haikus from her
One of the first persons that I followed here, and learnt about many forms of poetry reading her beautiful poems. Wish to thank the good friend, teacher :-)

Closed interval
Life = [birth, death]

Life is a
Closed  interval of
Birth and death

Yes, it is
bounded by those
limits
But there are
always infinite possibilities
For Ayn Rand
Her brilliance was bordering on genius
In reality it's beyond genius
Some called it madness
Some called it sheer divinity
Very few people knew it's exactness.

But whatever others may think
One thing is certain
She was
The Girl Born In The Garden of Roses
A random thought

Light of Love
Love is composed of light
It lights up the souls
It removes darkness
When darkness disappears
You can see the right path

Good sense
I think
Good sense is shown
More in the ability
To avoid pain
Than
In the mere
Desire to do so

HOPE
I suffered from severe Migraine attacks. I experience bouts that I cannot differentiate what's what. I have no one to back me up when needed, people think that I'm crazy for many things and not many believe in my ability. Few friends left me for what is not my conscious mistake, and few more just keep me aside. My failures always outnumbered my successes. And frankly I have no single person to rely upon in my toughest times (of course few helped me out and I'm always thankful). 

But I always keep going. 
I work a way around when needed. 
I conquered Migraine, minimised dyslexic effects. 
I never appear pathetic. 
Most of the day I laugh/smile. 

I never (majority of days) feel tired at the end of the day, and carry the same energy levels all through the day. How? 

My biggest ally is my integrity, and my best friend is HOPE. HOPE, my friends, it's my best friend.
It's not a poem

The Classic (Horror)
You dumb
Don't know how to do this?

You fool
Don't know what it is?

You *******
You don't know anything
Waste of a life

I wondered if
I'm good for at least eating.

He's your master
And THAT is his masterpiece
What have you got to show?
Go to him again.
Wait till he ratify you
My father brainwashed

Determined, I went back to the sir
I want to have my masterpiece

And soon I did have
My masterpiece
Not one.
Not two.
But many.

MASTERPIECES!!!

Since then
My master wasn't seen
By none

Any doubts?
Halloween special.  But a little bit late. Dedicated to our Raj Arumugam sir :-)
Eyeful of tears
Mindful of fears
Are the only arrears
She left

That depressed soul
Created a big hole
By leaving her role
In poetry

That decomposed smile
Melted me for a while
I traveled many a mile
For her
Republishing my old poem again after reading WL Winter's poem on Plath.

One of my favourite poets
Kodfather was a young adult
At the time this story begins

He went to a tea shop
with one of his followers

Started debate
with few of the fellow
Tea-toddlers
and was virtually
unbeatable

Impressed with his oratory skills
One man asked
How old are you Kod?

Dunno sir
But one thing
My mother said once
When my sister was born
"You are three years older than her Pizzie"
For she loves pizza

Thirteen years passed since
So I must be
Sixteen years older than her
*Now
To know more about the Kodfather and his sister, Rose, check here

My Family (50th poem)
Sky is my friend
I can expand beyond horizons

Ocean is my grandfather
I can play in (over) his lap

Sun is my father
I can be brighter than his shine

Rain is my beloved
I'll romance with her

The nature is my mother
I can create wonders
Goddess Lakshmi is treated as mother in our culture. She is said to be originated from the ocean of milk, the Ksheera Sagara. Hence Ocean is my grandfather ;-)

Wheeled around people

Tears of Pure Emotion
Tears of pure emotion rolled over his cheeks
Taking out the lava of pain down onto the earth
His revival now solely depends upon the way
He manages to carry on in the aftermath
Of the eruption of the volcano, called emotion

You're not here with me doesn't
Necessarily mean
You're not with me
I know you're always with me
Whether it is here
Or somewhere else.

Death separated
Our bodies
Not the spirits, the hearts
Your existence
In the space-time
Once or thence
Enough

I'll lead my life
Till the end
In the name of the best within Us

Man, Woman and Love
Man know what love is,
But don't know how to express it.
(But) woman don't know what love is,
But can express it superlatively
- Stefania Schmidt

She's my PhD guide, and she says it's the basic difference between a man and a woman. This poem is made out of her statement

As it is taken as a generalized/universal thing, usual grammar is not used

Do we need a dovecote, eh?
The thing
The thinger
The thingest

The greatest poet I don't know
Endha parandha endha SaaTa?

Poetry is what keeps souls happy. Why making alters and fight over petty things? If someone sees your poem, they may love it. If not, it's not their wavelength. What's the problem if someone doesn't love your poem?

I am not confined to
Any one language.
I use the language
Which is apt at that time
To give fuller meaning to

Kodfather
Man seeks
Power over matter

He doesn't seek
Power over his self

That's where people
Like me
Rise

We rule those
Mob masses

The spring in your steps
And the spring in nature
Playing a match
That let me have a catch
Of a bit of happiness
In all my loneliness

In all my loneliness
This weather makes me
Light as a feather
Dreaming us together
I am told it's spring in most of the US
