Leave if you can't do what everyone appreciates. But, at the very least, do whatever makes you happy.

My poetry started looking up when I became dishevelled, hagard, untidy, unkempt, hungry etc

I read only your poems
because they dispel the
gloom of life.

Walked, with purpose, into fire's embrace,unfettered.
Unfazed by the cat calls tossed my way.
Fear, a vanquished foe, lost its trace,
Lingering presence of failure held no sway.
The outcome, a vicious tempest,  ceased to chase,
in the depths of experience it dissolved without a trace.

The mind that believes the past was positive is distressed now, as it was then.

Be like Mother Earth, embodying grace and serenely embracing adversity.

My mind melted
when she pelted
her divine love
at me.

Everything Spins ?

Why?

A *** is made from a spinning wheel !

Like wise, the wheel of creation also spins!

Does it matter whether the log is burned from the front or the back?

Life is a log with two burning ends.

I don't care what the mind thinks since I am aware that I am not the mind.

Don't try to change your smile

There is no Leonardo Da Vinci

to capture it in his painting!

Live as you are without fuss!

What is there in the world to win?
If you don't let yourself down, it will be enough.

You cannot walk off the stage
before the show ends.

Success is temporary

Failure is permanent.

Don't strive for success since

failure can be accomplished

without even striving for it!

Don't wear life.
For it clings to you from birth to death.
It's etched with tales of triumphs and woes. When it's on you, it entices you to dance with passion, embrace the strife,until we stumble down, to the silent ground.

Intelligence blinds,
Crises we inflict overwhelm,
Doom awaits us all.

Our nature, as well as the nature that surrounds us, has doomed us.

The beginning and the end of universe is a tiny dot!

You avoided success for fear of losing your freedom. But resented the arrival of another talented individual with hunger for success as a potential stumbling to your success.

You over drafted on my love account
and fell into  love debt.

I over drafted on your bank account
and you fell into money debt.

I am a captive

in my own mind.

I have to gain

Freedom in my

own mind.

Not right? Get rid of it, with swift conviction.
With newfound clarity, embrace the dawn of a new vision.

Good deeds performed while under the influence of others are short-lived. Without influence, good deeds decline.

My down to earth poems
may not inspire you
but will definitely make
you think.

The drama of life takes
place between the  poles of attraction and conflict.

From attraction arises conflict.
And, from conflict arises attraction.

This cycle goes on and on....
forever.

Any experience that cannot
be relived is a dream.

Life is a dream.

Sky is hollow because I want to soar high in my dream  in the night sky to catch a few stars.

Ocean is deep because I want to dive deep in my sleep to collect a few pearls.

If dreams were  reality then I would love to live in my dreams.

You might be multilingual

Yet, your dreams always appear

in your mother tongue!

Be greedy in your dreams
because dreams are not taxed.

A beautiful dream is still hours away.
Your return  to my life is still years away.

A beautiful dream is still hours away.
I yearn for your glimpses in my dream
still hours away.

A beautiful dream is still hours away.
I might not see you in my dream still hours away.

May we all experience an unique, unrestricted dream of destiny in one another's poetry.

Dreams are real as long as they last.
Life is real as long as it lasts.

You are real as long as I last!

I stood there with my wings outstretched, ready to soar into the sky of dreams with you, but I failed to notice that my feet were firmly stuck in the muck of attachment.

Life is dream within a dream

you in-terchange  your role as

an actor, as a spectator, as demanded by

the situation in the dream

One seems unreal and another seems real

but only the wise know both are unreal


You are the real and the eternal

You quit acting when you realise this

truth.

Stars twinkle at night because they are drunk at night.

Your face is dry
Your smile is dry
Your speech is dry
Your words are dry
Your skin is dry
Your sweat is dry
Your breath is dry
Your tears are dry

I.....i..hesitate to say this....
even your love is dry

I can't live with you.. don't
compel me.. I can't live with you..
....
...because nothing grows from something... that is... absolutely dry.

What constitutes success or failure for humans who rely on breathing to survive?
Only aspiration should be to release the last breath in a dignified manner.

Ear is the weired thing in human
body.

It gives humans the look of Aliens!

Life is just a three step journey.

But why did you stumble in the very first step?

When the night increases my fear of living, I wish for an early sun rise.

She gripped my feet firmly
so that my dream of
soaring into the sky become
a reality.

Typographic errors can be edited
but not uttered words!

On the large screen, everyone was watching news about the financial market. Old shares were performing admirably. The eerie sunami was gradually bringing in old stockpiles of trash into the area. The lives of people was about to take a drastic turn.

Ego , To myself, am I visible?

heavy breathing inside the mask
has become lighter !

Decisions taken by the elite
in the boardrooms
never reach the bedrooms
of the ordinary masses

Half a life is lived each day.
Not yet lived a full life.
