Subtle Fight
Unwind
From stone age
To present times
A subtle fight
With the might of time.
As was then
Hasn't changed
Million years hence
Still, a subtle fight
With the might of time.
Has held that state
Which our ancestors faced
A character
Which has
The entire humanity dazed.
Still, a subtle fight
With the might of time

Catharsis
Stoic my nature.
Plunders
Without a glitch
Ain't be shared
Amongst all.
Power though wields
Snatches the yield
From those
Most deserving
In need.
Warned,
Forewarned you
Didn't bid bye
To this race
Justice
Shall prevail
And those
Whom you have waylaid
Will

Nature's Bounty
Her,
Store
In abundance
Overflows.
The doors
Of which
His eyes
Ignore.
The latch, the lock
And the bolt
Fastened
Fastened where the looted abundance
Rots in the store.
For, it rots
As environs
Foreign
Cannot restore.
She,

Speed
Speed
Knows no course
Though the goals set
But norms
Laid to rest
Displaces
Aesthetics of life
Childhood youth old age ostracised
Scientific achievements
Landmarks, discoveries
And all physical movements
Unnoticed
Pass into oblivion
For that which helps realise an event
Bathed in speed
Beginning or end
Or course being traversed
All wedded together
Oh! Let the honeymoon end.

Nature' S Kindergarten
Deep, blue sky,
Overcast
With clouds white.
Gentle breeze
Kissing the branches, trees, leaves
And the nascent buds in between
Caressing
The concrete crust.
Stronger it blows
Trees take to the floor
Branches conduct the choir
White to grey
Synergy high
Bang the floor
Dance
To tunes of thunder
Lightening strikes
In the milieu
Pours the virile

When Evil Reigns
Very thought
Of being at top
With it brought
Images fraught
With death of sorts
On the barren tree
Ropes tied
To direct the fall
Perched
With axe in hand
Strikes
And strikes with force
Till it parts
Fool
Fool with axe
Embraced in my lap
Listens to dictates
Of those on land

Senses
Senses five
Together their might
Dangerous
To cause a fright
Can't be visualised
Always picks tones
And two eyes traverse
Only pleasure where they find
Nose pokes
Fragrance where abounds
Tongue for luscious loathes
Skin for fairy touch
But that which makes
Long for these
Hasn't got its dues overdue for long
And senses five
Longing only for bright
Have played havoc
And ruined his creations.

I
So possessive
With this I and my
Waste entire life
In this quagmire
The physical form
Or physiological self
Or the name holds you back
Or the glory of the clan
Deeds misdeeds
Chain the bird
Otherwise
Which higher could fly.
Harsh but abstract reality
With firmly entwined roots
If cut
With rejuvenated vigour
It does reproduce
Let it abound
With no bounds
Some day

Arrested Desires
Mortals
Though mortals
Not symbols of immortal
Why then
Those desires so deeply embedded
With firmly entwined roots
He cannot uproot
Follows there course
To conquer those heights
Which unconquered lie
And then
That evitable fall
Of which he never thought
A thud
Of a huge tree
Disturbing the surroundings that be
Arrested desires
Achieving to meet the needs.
Never falls

Benghazi Graves -2012
As the light dawns
On knights in graves
Who fought
For cause
Not known
Not known, to them
For whom they fought
And seventy years hence,
On a dark moonless night
Those vivid shadows
Overtook the darkness of moonless night
Razed, ravaged those graves
Whose habitants home had made
Prayed they
Oh Lord!
Direct them
With gumption.
Help them leave their bodies
In environs
