Kishore R R Poem
They spread beauty and fragrance
For the sake of it
Expect nothing in return
Friendly with the thorns
They live in grace and peace
And fade with joy
Apropos no motive
They live life for living
Nothing comes, nothing goes
Continuity pervades
Plucked and tweaked
Merge with all and never whine
Rain, sun and chill
Spring, autumn and snow
Embrace all and come again
Beyond reason and doubt
Share the nature and fate
with flavor and fullness
Full of joy, never in haste
With eternity, filling the hearts
Exuberance, innocence and poise
Blending frailty with strength
With vibrance and color
Through sunshine and clouds
Enjoying the rocks and falls
With leaves and boughs
Free from weary of time
Emitting serenity and hope
With benign and blissful heart
Turning earth into Eden
Rising from the buds
O flower! I wish you adieu
Waiting for another year

Kishore R R Poem
Tired, worn out and sapped
The lonely man waiting for the day to end
The night is better, kind and comforting
Sleep swallows all
The life is good and bad
Changing colors like a chameleon
At times, one fails to reconcile
Becoming the odd man out
No other option except to live
Happy or sad, in the harmony
All are in the same boat
Only the responses vary
Move, move and move
You cannot sleep forever
The waves are not silent
They will wash you away
The dilemma lies in being
You are a part of the crowd
Sharing traits of collective souls
You have to behave like others
The body and mind is yours
Surroundings are not created by you.
You get fixed into them
Becoming a part of the same

Kishore R R Poem
Turmoil, turmoil and turmoil
Not a day at peace
Errors, slips, omissions
And their hangover
Self cursing and repentance
Has become the order of the day
But, not one or two
Many live in peace
Living in bigger storms and turbulence
The wise ones do not react
They reconcile, respond
And remain calm
Life is not your subsidiary
It is a stream of unchartered waters
One has to sail according to its currents
Washed out are those
Who ignore its spirit
Essence lies in acceptance
Enjoin the gain, forget the lost
Loss is a realty, not unlike gains
All is not yours
You will get only your share
Contentment is the password
To happiness and joy

Kishore R R Poem
Petals, leaves and thorns
Dwelling on the same bough
Dance together with breeze
Singing the song of life
Blending joy and distress
Oozing multiple colors
Unifying pleasure and pain
Dried leave at the feet of trees
Once flourishing and vibrant green
Ending their journey of bloom
Continue exuding truth and beauty
Gleefully merge with the soil
And nurture their progenitor
In order to appear as reborn
Be yourself
You are the ultimate
Beyond loss and gain
Nothing survives perpetually
Even the god's died in the jungles,
Uncared and lonely
So, enjoy the fountain of life

Kishore R R Poem
Slight may outdo the sizeable
Nature is fascinatingly unique
Its sways and swings are astounding
Moon may hide the sun
A damsel may win where duchess fail
Not big and small, not high and low but
Chance, moment and providence prevail
Giant ship may sink, a tiny boat may sail
All is worthy and valued in the nature
Circumstances and contexts do matter
Not the status, extent and magnitude
Bird’s choir may foil a singer on platter
Starry night may outshine the bright sun
A timid solitary wisdom may overtake
The coveted and assorted minds by
exposing the mysteries, remained undone
A shy tiny bud lying in a forlorn pot
May catch the beholder’s eye
Strolling in the garden full of bloom
Soliciting the petals endearing his choice
The poise and serenity of cool breeze
Cradle of green trees and golden leaves
May be million times more soothing
Than the affluence of palatial room
On a wide lonely road in the summer noon
Walking fast to escape the burning heat
One can’t forget shadows of thoughtful trees
And their compassion with which they treat

Kishore R R Poem
Puzzling, miraculous and random
Are the ways of life
Thinking, probing and planning
Warding chance and incident
Avoiding event and inadvertence
Moving with care and caution
One tries to steer through the trail
But he reaches the crossroads
Pauses to know the right path
To reach the destination of his choice
But all remain mute
The crossroads do not speak
He is all alone, and lost
Fortuity takes over and he moves
Sandwiched between right and wrong
The road leads to a blind end
Devoid of options he Stays there
Days, months and years pass
Collecting his cool and strength
He starts the journey again
With gusto and delight
Flushing out his solitude and seclusion
Finds a multitude of souls
All haphazard, ignorant and confused
Unable to guide his bruised past
Simmering inside
He continues with his quest
Encounters a wise childhood friend
Opens his heart to the sharp dude
But what comes out of him is:
‘Life is like that, dance with destiny’
And the void continues

Kishore R R Poem
You may not be there
I may not be there
But the earth will revolve
And the sun will shine
Flowers fade and bloom
Autumn and spring return
Rivers parch and swell
Dawn and dusk continue
Nothing stops
All goes on
Only we disappear
Never to reappear
Strange but true
Tragic but certain
Helplessness rules
The poor creatures
Who made this all
And why?
Where is he or she?
It's a cruel joke
But be ready
For a bigger joke
We wail and weep
But, worship him or her!

Kishore R R Poem
Legacy, paradox and affirmation
Bound the human society
Distinct from nature's other entities
We create circles and boundaries
Move within them
Restricting our expressions
Virtues, traits and attributes
The human endowments
Suffocate inside like a pigeon
In captivity
Life is governed by laws of
Cosmic consciousness
The man-made confines
Are rooted in subjectivity,
Contrary to the order of nature
The jungles, rivers and oceans
Abounding assortments of diversity
Personifying mutuality and reciprocity
Are ruled by freedom and simultaneity
They do not fight
From the time of Adam
Never a day has passed
When we sat at peace
Blood flows cheaper than water
Cries and tears do not matter
The thirst continues unquenched
We are not ashamed and
Take pride in being human
With ego, arrogance and greed
We are brutes beyond doubt

Kishore R R Poem
All is not lost
Memories buried in my bosom
Are not yet dead
The plays, fads and foibles
Bubble in my heart
Giving me my precious self and
The chaste child of golden days
School, boys and teachers
Were the part of myself
As much as were the mango tress
And the secretly plucked fruits
The sly slips of the classes
And the clever excuses
Remind me of crafty endurance
Days full of quest and curiosity
Every moment learning new things
Preserving them in ceaseless memory
Bracing unwanted family intrusions
An undiminished soul
Always busy and demanding
A baby with eternal exuberance
Big dreams in the tiny heart
Days full of kites and
Paper-boats in rain-filled yard
Father’s scare and mother’s love
Stress of exams and results
Marching to school with heavy bags
Always eager for the last bell
The days blossomed into youth
Maturity and senility took over
Worries, conflicts and tensions
Replaced the bloom and joy
Desire to retrieve the gone days
Flimsy but soothing burns inside
And the life goes on

Kishore R R Poem
Beauty humming in the pearly shell
Melody oozing from the silver bell
Charm and delight’s unending spell
A silent breeze flowing without yell
Adorned in long, black and silky hair
The song of passion, finesse and flair
Spreading splendour and glory in the air
Dream, delight and bliss turned bare
Majestic with a mellowed divergence
A Beauty with poise free from indulgence
An epitome displaying unique convergence
Of ability, acumen, insight and intelligence
Carved out of sunshine, dawn and dew
The cool aroma of tolerance and patience
Exuding trust, conviction and hope
Steering the life’s ship like a skilled crew
Out of her the affection and warmth flows
Love, compassion and beneficence glows
But being mindful of not coming too close
Her preserves and peripheries she knows
A pristine blend of purity and wisdom
An enduring asset of life’s rare dictum
Modernity wrapped in lasting custom
Living in her abode of divine Kingdom
