Flower

Flower

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness in the desert air
Callous is the blazing sun, yet
Bravely sees off its murderous glare.

Blooms unscathed, untouched by fate
Nurtured by the sweet breeze's touch
Yet this climate, its petals come to hate
Only the flower does not mind it much.

Standing like a glorious warrior endeth a war
Triumphed victoriously fragrance prevails
Yet the granules, cannot its beauty ,mar
To this, impetuously the earth hails.

Scared not, unscathed by the coolness undone
Braves alone the harshness of its world
When dew drops shine, it shares its fun
Brings out its full beauty, petals unfurled.

Many summers pass by, Winters covered it aplenty
Spring nurtured it awhile, blessed by the Rain
Its time to pass has yet come near, dainty,
Gathers the remaining days ahead to gain.
This creation saw the luminiscent shades of youth
Enjoyed a quiet yet lush midsummers dream
When the Time draws near, it is uncouth
Paleness prevails, turns white like cream.
Great courage has it fought with before
Still fights but knows Nature's victory
I salute You ! O desert flower of lore
In your courage alone lies your glory.
You teach a lesson of great courage to all
Fight against all odds and at all times
Must you not flinch awhile or sway asunder , shall
Then courage be with you , so it chimes.
Now when its your time to be re-united ,lay amongst, with the earth
Covered fully in a white blanket of snow,
Great Nature ! Courage is but thy name- its Girth
May thousands like You, in your place, grow.

You.....

You....................................

You.. came into my Life one day
Bought colors in my life , that which is gray
You changed my world- turned it upside down
You.. with Your golden curls & eyes- light brown.

You tought me meaning of the word- joy,
You bought happiness in my life - o boy!
I had waited long, for this moment divine
To be lucky to be entrusted to her,the feminine.

You bought me luck and shared my sorrow
You were there always for me, no worry of t'morrow
You were my umbrella sheilding me from the rain
Whilst wid You, i was so happy, You were an antidote to pain.

You were there for me as no 1 else was,dear,
You let me know no grief or pain or fear
You were in me as much as I was in you
Frankly speaking, i was deeply in love with you.

Now I felt you even when you weren't around
In you, a strange joy , my heart found.
U were in my thoughts, swirling in and out
We were deeply connected- there was no doubt.

I was totally lost in you, from so deep within
I knew no difference between virtue or sin.
My heart bubbled full of love so pure.
I would gladly give myself up for you, I'm sure.

But then things dont remain the way we want them to be,
We were ripped forcibly apart, you and me.
Never to be together , not destined to live as one,
Life's sweetest memory now lay undone.

My dream of us two being together now lay shatterred,
And important things lay aside, it didn't matter
The broken shards of my dream now pierced my eyes
Life ,lost meaning,theres no truth -only lies.


Now my Life was handicapped, as i lay forsaken
My heart no longer mine as it was taken
For you, now my mind knew no longer how to think
Sleep evaded me, could no nothing just blink.

Life took its time to come close back to whats normal
Everything was hazy, things very much formal.
I recovered slowly , as if from a malicious disease
Finally I was getting together, piece by piece.

Now as I remenisce backwards about all that happened
Long ago, on you , my heart did sorely depend
Now i say, with a bandage on my injured heart
I managed to piece together all that had fallen apart.

The greatest pain of all ,that numbs with wicked panache,
Is that which is the uncommonly common heartache.
Give your heart, if you must, to someone you feel your own
And treasure their heart as how you would, like your own.

Missing You

Amazing and Touching stuff.....

Journey

Journey...

Set out from my home,
For a purposeful trip,
To places far away, to roam;
Where nature has its firm grip.

To go away, to go afar,
Places under the burning red star,
Going by foot, else by car
Upon the endless coal-black tar.

Journeying onto places anew,
Places full of glittering dew;
Places of joy, and of fun,
Everywhere, in short, under the sun.

Places of grief & Of sorrow,
Places where there's no tomorrow.
Here, the lamps of joy should be lit
Darkness will flee, bit by bit.

Take the land, or the air
Travelling with an elegant flair
By rail, or the endless road,
Taking with us a heavy load.

Past this vast expanse of endless land,
By the sea, or the sand
Free, free like the birds in the sky
Thoughtless, winged, while they fly.

The wingless clouds ushering above,
Peace flourishes, one white dove.
In my heart, a pool of bliss
Impatience, yet, continues to hiss.

Travel, to man, exposes the world
Tests his freedom, now unfurled,
Going away, going, now gone
NIghts ablaze, so is the dawn.

Freedom, so true, is tested now,
Wisdom awakes, is unclear how ?
Truth now bestows her wondrous gaze,
Challenges can now be stared at unfazed.

Travel does surely strengthen a man,
Shows him what to do, he surely can
Foot by foot, the world is measured,
Forever and ever will the journey be treasured.

Night

Night

The great black dome; suspended above
Great Heavens looking down
Earth firmly nested in Nature's cove,
Wearing its ethereal black gown.

This enormous black cover faces us
The stars like its many eyes,
Clouds drifting by, vapour pus
This enormous blanket, colour of mice.

Pressing over the earth, a lightless veil
Unfathomable, even to the sharpest eye
Small lights flicker on, feeble, frail;
All dissolved in this great black dye.

This phenomenon, succeeding day,
The time whence all creations rest,
Night, as everybody doth say,
Birds firmly cooped up in their nest's.

Silence is its everlasting companion,
Sound itself becomes silent, paying homage.
Dark & Swooping comes the night,
Swallowing, engulfing all Light.

That which is unyielding and absolute,
Far beautiful, compared to day.
Not one, but many stars doth it yield
None can escape from it, there exists no shield.

The only witness being the heavenly stars above
Incomprehensible patterns etched above,
The power of Night nullifies them all,
Both at its rise and also at ts fall.

The antonym, equal, opposite to Day,
So powerful, keeps all Light at bay,
This beautiful temptress, eternal enchantress;
Adorns the earth, wrapped- a nightdress.

All the people in the world I ask thee
Look up into the skies and see
The stars and the lone Moon & ask them
'Whence the Night cometh and goes,
Beautiful and more powerful then you,
So graceful and seducing,
This dark lady - hail her- Night'.

Hello Every1

Hey u people.... a very Warm Welcome 2 my Blog. I am Aravind and I hope to share my creations with you."Intelligence is Not a privilege. Its a virtue that is god-gifted and has to be used for the welfare of Mankind." Remember those words from SpiderMan-2.. whence Otto Octavius tells Peter Parker. They are very important words to be remembered always.. they need to be treasured.
as you so observe around you, The world is full of Good and evil - more evil than good as i might add.. but the need of the world is Efficiency.. efficient people who give us results- irrespective of the complicated situations they have to go through.

Whatever we might be, we must all try to contribute in some way r the other towards the well being of this world. After all, due to the selfless actions of very few Samaritans, this world keeps on running. It is not necessary to start Big... but to start Good. We can help at least 1 person a day... and these random acts of goodness will not only be beneficial for you, but also for the human society, this world as a whole. Thus we must try to be good and spread this message to as many people as we can.

As some one said, Evil can never be completely eradicated, but we must try our level best to keep it at bay. with this pleasant note, I conclude for now and will begin posting my poems for you to enjoy. May God bless All...

A.K.
