Why ?

Stranded sailors amidst blue sea,
Men of the ships wrecked are we,
Left alone in an island far,
Underneath the sunshine,below the star.

Eat and drink and love we make,
Live life for life's sake,
Never think about thy grace,
Spending time at a mirthful place.

Yet many a times do we fall,
Listening to an inner call,
Loud as we can we call to thee,
Screaming loud to set us free.

Patient we are, we wait for long,
Yearning to hear your eternal song,
Alas,O lord no voice is heard,
No sights clear,no omens blurred.

Why are we ashore,know we not,
Wondering forever ,never taught,
In hapless despair do we sigh,
Aloof in an island not knowing why.

Toddler's Thought

Orphan in the night I walk,
Roaring silence amidst no talk.
Wailing within,sobbing out,
Prone to tremors ,torn with doubt.

Trapped by an unearthly night,
Eyes of mine know no light,
Toddling often,tripping more,
Crawling on with pains soar.

Trembling again I reach out to thee,
Gone thou art,nowhere to see.
Thinketh that I must trod alone,
Stumbling ahead in the path unknown,

Orphan in the night I trod......

The unhearked one

Lonely poet here I speak,

Of dreams bright and realities bleak,

Readily ignored , hearkened by none,

Lost in gimmick , treated as fun.

Golden bird thou flutter by,

Far above in the skies high,

Down below I stare above,

Captive by a golden dove.

Golden bird thou caged by none,

Always flying, always fun,

Of life and hope thou sing,

Cuckoo-ing with the pleasantest sting.

Golden bird thou know it not,

Passions and fervor that thou have wrought,

Shimmer of silver and shine of gold,

Thoroughly worth the praises untold.

Ooh bird of mine beseech thou now, if thou could,

Alight to the plains when times are good,

Would feed thou grains and cage thou not,

Free as ever still not caught.

Lonely poet here I sing………………….

Soliloquy

Irrepressible thou, o heart of mine,
Unfading, unquenchable the voice of thine,
Thou talk of passion, thou talk of fire,
Of heavens pleasant and situations dire.

Naiver than the naivest thou,
Chaster than the chastest vow,
Ignorant of the worldly bounds,
Swaying readily to hankering sounds.

Be thou gone,need no more,
Your absence sweet and presence sour,
Liveth simple, liveth free,
Life is simple , let it be!

Inextinguishable thou, o flame of mine....!!!!
