Flying high above the Clouds,
Rejoicing on stale airline Food,
Squirming between the Crowds,
Yet calm and elevated in Mood.

A tiny backpack, a Fearless Look,
Do I need anything More ?
To capture the world in merely a Scrapbook,
Leaving pains and worries to Ignore.

The first foot across the Border,
Another step closer to the mountain Peak,
The slipping sand between my Fingers,
Stopping time, is there a Technique ?

Cities, cultures and people Exceptional,
Surpassing labels the ignorant Creates,
Fear of the unknown almost Fictional,
Liberation is all I can Emanate.

I may not be wise as Buddha,
But I sure am on the path of Ibn Battuta.

A  Tunnel  shielding  my  Battle,
Is  there  Light  or  a mere  Illusion?
Concealing  every  emotion  and  Struggle,
A  Mind  in  pursuit  of  a  Revolution.

I crawled into this world with an Innocent Mind,
Corrupted by notions and prejudices leaving me Blind.

Civilization introduced the division among Masses,
Before learning how to divide in Math Classes.

Capitalism enforced the significance of multiplying green Currency,
Forsaking the arms of mother nature and its Transparency.

To lend a helping hand for another’s Gain,
Education suppressed the essence of Being Humane.

Acceptance is challenging for the Naked Eye,
Bigotry and Hypocrisy forces me to Deny.

Questioning faith leads to Ostracism,
The mind must not project diversity like a Prism.

Love and Respect must be gauged by Designation,
Obfuscating the purpose of Universal Creation.

I crawled into this world with an Innocent Mind,
Corrupted by notions and prejudices leaving me Blind.

Before time defeats the purpose of Humanity,
Ignite a passion to act with Solidarity.

When the world pinpoints every Flaw,
Destroying every ounce of Ambition,
She thwarts every judgement with Guffaw,
Rekindling a fire within like a Magician.

An abundance of delightful Cuisines,
Lights, music, what an Atmosphere,
Unmatched to the simplicity of her Beans,
No ambiance, yet so Dear.

A global footprint to Parade,
Mountains, beaches, what’s the next Place?
Sleepless until safety was Conveyed,
Her world residing in merely a Face.

Conquering every assignment, a solo Star,
Virtues unparalleled, is she Human ?
An infinite Heart, almost Bizarre,
A MOTHER or a living Superwoman.

I Bloom in the presence of Rocks,
No matter what the world Talks,
My Color separates nature from Darkness,
Try harder, For I have Awakened from Inertness.

Who Am I ?

Defined by Occupation,
Or branded by Designation,
Is my identity beyond my Workstation ?

Relationships Galore,
Friend, son, lover, even a Mentor,
Transiting perceptions, is there More ?

Worshiping a higher Power,
A Temple, a Mosque or a Church Tower,
Labeled for my faith of the Hour ?

A mirror unraveling my Quest,
Permeating through the mind Possessed,
Finding my true self Unsuppressed.

Who Am I ?
A Flowing Potential

When the world failed to Console,
A Reflection revealed my Soul.
I was Oblivious of where I'd been,
Until I finally looked WITHIN.
