Seed
desires to
Germinate
To grow into
Big Tree
Offer shade
Cater fruits
Release Oxygen
Provide wood
Allow Nests
Seed
has to die
for it's desire
Tree grows
after death of
Seed
How many are
ready to die for
Desire ?
All want to enjoy
Actualisation of
Desire
Desires multiply
Greed takes over
Journey of sin starts
There is no desire to provide
shade, fruits to others
Selfish desires
are omnipotent
Selfishless desires
Like Seeds are extinct
Nurture
Selfless purpose
In Desire
Akin to Nature's
way seen in Seeds
Make Desire
meaningful
Only humans are
Bestowed with Mind
Shun selfishness
Live like Seed
Germinate for
next generation

Sensitive souls meet feisty spirits
Fluffiness of fresh fallen snow
Heat of harsh fiery flames
Natural elements of colliding forces
Possibilities of complementaries
Actualisation of a pair too dire
Contrasts complimenting one assumes
Reality melts the other
Hot fire against chilled snow
Disaster overwhelms surrounding viewers
Liquified tears drown fiery words
A hot puddle is this mess
Climbing up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
But how can you reach Self-actualisation? Without esteem.
The divine revelation
Stored in memory
Manifesting anticipation
Makes our next meditation ordinary
Zeal for self actualisation
Motive being power
Narrow ego precipitation
Makes us fall lower
Exiting stagnation & anticipation
Childlike non doer doing
Optimises consciousnesses ascension
With awareness nonchalantly looking
S ince I have been separated a year
E ventually I have come to see
L ife can be lived large, not small.
F orget about being left on the shelf.
A ctually, I now sing Alleluia.
C hoir practice I find cathartic.
T he poetry has been absolvent.
U nleashing deep hurts in haiku.
L aughter rises often, I'm cheerful.
I appreciate my friends in literati.
S kip along at work with a buzz.
A nd I am ready for any fiesta.
T hankful for this wonderful gift.
I nspiring, empowering, stimulating.
O ffering me a chance I hitherto
N ever had for self actualisation.
Request
Needful,hopeful
Asking,expecting,receiving
praise and worship Lord
Prayer.
Objective
Missionary,visionary
Longing, believing,acheiving
Sweet smile of actualisation
Goal.
Contractual Relations
Coming to work every hazy morn
Does not say my mind is still born!
Nor, when I kowtow and say: Boss
I equate you to He on the Cross!
Monthly pay is neither exchange
Of principles with beliefs strange
Nor being a sloth or being a Fool
Or a Merino farmed for its wool!
Dirty boots walk inside my heart-
Dirty feet inside my cleaner part....
Power of sinews of war, that is; dollar
Cannot abduct liberty by the collar!
I’m not a project marked to earn
Self-actualisation is what I yearn!
