Reflection
It is one of those milestones
down the interminable road
A flippant flick of a new page
to a yet another episode
Gazing in a reflective reminiscence
how it all turned about
Most was as expected,
but a tad I could have done without
Some of claimed cerebrals,
from my expectations fell short
Strangers turned the saviors
when beyond my last resort

Someone Somewhere
Where each subliminal moment is
awaited in anticipated glee
For it to be captured eternally,
lest quickly if it tried to flee
The silence speaks unspoken
the unsaid is what's heard
Congruent are most nuances,
comprehended without a word
Points are never proven or
bartered for in give and take
It is all about subsistence and
how cheery the other you make
The element of surprise,
has eluded for a little overly long

Coagulated Emotions
Introspecting inner recesses
something seems amiss
Try as much disregarding
but one simply can't dismiss
Ravages of the past have
bequeathed, a perplexing stance
Unable I am to decipher
the uninvited current circumstance
As much I try suppurating vocally
but it gets stifled in the craw
Quip now is extricated from
my feeble attempts at a guffaw
Petty inconsequential traits of yore
have mutated to stringency thence

The Dignity
Starve you may of famine
or thirst for water in drought
Let freeze congeal your senses
or scorch burn you out
Live in penury for evermore,
or be with a roof or without
Uncertainties may accost you
and fill you with many a doubt
The malevolent with designs devious,
for your irritants may scout
In a vortex of uncertainty,
one could relentlessly be thrown about
You can retrieve what you lost today

The Craving
Blinkered kind were subsistence
not seeking what lay ahead
Most results were as expected
hence nonchalantly always tread
Now challenge seems defeated
and mislaid the past enthrall
Must unearth newer stimulants,
with fresh gusto those install
Testing are the prospects
for the final bow and having to part
Leaving a near way of life
to an unpredictable fresh start
Forever chased rainbows,
it is time now to discover and find

The Mediocrity
Beholden I am for mercies
those with time got bestowed
The apportioned reality and
awards that time has endowed
The ones served on the platter
were accepted as destined ordain
And for all what was improbable
I didn't once rue or complain
No space for any penitence
with leftover window seeming brief
It's to accept what one has at hand
and from it so seek relief
It's inane to pick old shards
in an attempt to try and dissect

A Probability
Most strived for in the bygone
now lurks around the bend
The quest for unknown answers
almost is coming to an end
What one deemed accidental,
proved providentially designed
New meanings got revealed and
new relevance was assigned
Change imminent keeps shifting
which must follow the cyclic trend
What's ensnared in apparent obscurity
would high above transcend
Have had more than average shareof
gloomy sagas of the yore

The Unlikely Penitence
Points had to be impressed upon,
proven and put to test
Oblivious you may have seemed
but the results were manifest
No one were permitted perspectives,
but your own standpoint
Dammed most associations
lest some proffered a counterpoint
What good is penitence
after inflicted damage has been made
Too late is to darn the fabric
which with time has since frayed
All your vain assumptions
had no substance whatsoever at all

Rains - Once More
Fervently expected joyous times
are here one can tell
Guttural croaks of bullfrogs
herald an impending spell
Rumble in the distance and
streaks lighting up the dreary night
Perk up sullen temperaments,
infusing dose of expectant delight
It's time to find old brolly and
macintosh with hooded cape
Just to sit on the patio
relishing hot cuppa with sweetened crape
Precursor to petty indulgences
in rekindling touch of romance

An Abstraction
It's very easy being judgmental and
for one to ostensibly censure
When unknown are the causes
and the rational obscure
Perceptions are personal
having an absolute and justified claim
No right one has in branding
and reprobate other proclaim
Gratuitous opinions proffered,
at times are not worth a dime
As each in their circumstantial environs
is a unique paradigm
Mend can't the incorrigible,
because in their blood it is to haunt
