Young spirit

Scaling worldly heights

Passion burning bright

Limbs tired somewhat

But not the least, mind

Uncanny propositions sizzle

Curiosity dissects life puzzles

Formals, diplomacy and business talk

Suffocate and make a heavy heart

It  is good to come back to the start

No going back as weak hearted thought

Childishness and pranks again thrill a lot

Daring stunts are real fun to watch

Life is more than daily grind

Money and medals don't entice

Trying one's hand on things new

Brings glimmer to ageing eyes

Spirit is yet bubbling and young

The life strings are loosely hung

Exploring newness keeps the mind alert

Not to scale but to experiment for fun!

Righteousness

How can one be righteous

If he is often not right

One is a virtue to  emulate

the other is state of mind

One who sees with inner eye

Has right and noble mind

Right he does as a matter of habit

Righteousness in him glows bright

Some speak in two minds

Whatever suits is fine

They are far from right

In every common  eye

Accuse as many as you like

Sing your praise sky high

Many may be on your side

But that does not itself make you right

Follow not the person

But the goodness that shines

One who wavers for gain

He pays a heavy price

Those who claim righteousness on their side

How can they ever be right

Blind in eyes and lost in mind one is

Who thinks he can rein in righteousness to take his side!

Funny death

Stillness and movement

go side by side

One is like death

the other is life

Some die while they live

It comes every night

When one wakes up, he lives

In endless slumber, one dies

Life is full of fun

In fun blooms life

When sadness engulfs

Life just passes by

Death is in passing

To vanish without trace

It is fun to those

With whom magic it plays

It comes unannounced

One can't make it wait

Drowned in fun and frolic

In merriment some wait

Death is indeed funny

It strikes in no particular way

However well one prepares to take it

It shall have its way

Those who make it fun to die

And fear not to wear it on the sly

Death wonders, what to do with such life

In fun they live and happily they die

Life and death

go side by side

One ,one lives

the other is good bye!

Joke

Why strain your mind

on things trivial

When mind is taxed

and life difficult         

Make it light

be it a joke or smile

Everything has a purpose

while it nags you awhile 

Joke is no joke

if it does not soak

What you don't like

comes back hundred fold

Joke and joker are inseparable parts

One is human,  the other his heart

With you in mind, and at his cost

He makes you laugh, to lighten your heart

Joker what all he does, appears a joke

He is not taken seriously, joke or no joke

Something said light heartedly changes course

Infusing vigour when heavy is the yoke

Life is full  of pits and turns

The path is uneven, full of bumps

Tread carefully, lest you fall

And life remains a joke, that's all

Seriously speaking, life itself is a wonderful joke

Wisdom comes wrapped in its outer cloak

To grasp and understand it keeps one afloat

Undercurrents touch not, while one swims ashore!

Beauty and truth

What makes atoms

are same particles

Variation in their number

makes the difference

Sameness and variation

blend to  bring

Texture and design different

 Both make a difference

Truth is one without a double

Beauty exists in several layers

Truth revealed silences doubles

Beauty covers even ugly layers                                      

Seek the truth in whatever you do

You shall find it inside you

Truth is within and without

Beauty of truth knows no bounds

Sameness keeps order and harmony

Turmoil and wars make history

Beauty one searches in silence

Truth stirs him in deep turbulence!

Ballot for change

One is made a fool every now and then 

To play their tricks as suit them

Who promise but keep not a word

And every time betray his trust

Think well  before you vote

A difference it shall make

Destiny at the press of a button

After years of  patient wait

No longer a puppet at their call

Determined to make history of sorts

Let the powers dance and get exposed

Waters are choppy and the boats rock

This ballot is going to be different

Voter is fed up and impatient

A considered choice he shall make

For change substantial and different

Nothing shall remain the same

The power equations or common take

What would matter is the work and walk

And how they make their vision come to pass!

  

Fear of love

Life and fear go side by side

One explores, the other muddles behind

Life renews and spreads its wings  far and wide

One who lives in fear, just passes time

                             

Fear of death torments day and night

On tip toe one walks all his life

Covering  only  inches not miles

What life it is ,sans wings and flight

Love is the breath that stirs life

Mechanical is the world of  calculated mind

Those who are bold in love, live full life

Lifeless one becomes ,who bids love good bye

Love is blind and sees not with eyes

Its sting paralyses logic and mind

One staggers and wanders intoxicated

Without his lips touching a drop of wine

Possessive love keeps one tied

Universal love expands to meet its bride

Chains and locks can't hold it a bit

Fear loses its hold, death stands nullified!
