lonely heart tremulously beseeches
the inky black void
the universe responds, bliss fills us
delusion’s destroyed
a verse begins to be formed in mind
heart distils emotion
presence draws by resonance elixir
of love’s magic potion
lower mind would have us so believe
in attainments unreal
save holding God’s hand like a child
nothing holds appeal
within darkness too, we see the light
it’s glow self-luminous
we’re now way past the stage of fear
bliss rise is continuous

From the nadir of your hopes
You may rise to the zenith of success
With discipline and diligence
Putting to good use the sinews of your youth.
With commitment and steadfastness
Working vigorously to achieve your goals
And with a mercurial temperament
You're sure to actualize your dreams
For without actions dreams turn become mere myths.
For from the nadir of your hopes
You may rise even to the zenith of success
You shall rise from the dust
Beyond the skies shall be your attainments.
You would seem to many a young duckling
Your success story will move many to awe
The secrets behind his success story
Shall remain an unsolved mystery.

Burning yearning for connecting
With God’s luminescence
Ego cravings deselecting
To imbibe bliss essence
There is no code to crack
Nor attainments to hack
For God has got our back
Prayer searing
Burning yearning

Sweet
Princess
sensual sass
oh virtue sublime
two perfect little bows
plump raspberries, fresh
tapered, moist lusciousness
wispy chili pepper spiciness pure
plucked in cool rain for love's intent
dew-dappled fruits of desire, inexorable.
Oh, like spinning the moon in your hands
there's naught but Luna's glinting your eyes
that can hold measure to those nectarous berries.
I shall consider it my honored duty, to so determine
to let the soft, deep adoration of my press to your own
be the only concern for which I shall offer my deft attention.
Oh, do not gods themselves aspire to such commitments, thus?
Your divine mouth is all I'll need for my own deliberate attainments ...
loose the moon from your tender grasp, for this moment is ours alone
its soft blue beams, the rill of romance that we swim together ... to drown.

Harvard asked, if I still have it!
A strange question due to my
Weird inquiry, from requirements
To attainments, life so entertaining
When you "been living"
Any how, giving myself a pat-
on the shoulder for such a-great-work,
From running away to chasing my dreams!
The parallel worlds, what can we do with out the other?
We all know the world is round
But it has rules: contours outlining my trajectories,
as I search for the ruler
From the equator to the atmospheres,
And gravity pulls me down...!
Like woman falling in love,
The law of attraction and I'm behind bars:
Magnetism and I'm strong as iron,
Hard love: so I plant roses
lawnmowers cutting my fine grasses
Now my land looks like deserts
Oh man, sand all over the show like
Ants...hahaha! kids laughing again:
O why don't you fly Peter pan?

Weighed and Found Wanting

The greatest attainments in the life of man
Takes rest on the lightest side of the scale.
Things penetrated only by our imagination
Are quickly weighed and also found to pale.

As the attainments of others never assure one's own success
So their deafening failures shouldn't hold back one's progress

It's time we stop this game.
Which has no distinct name.
Than the already made.
Such distressful and shame.
Why don't you lower your gaze?
When you proclaiming, am a male.
Just avoid the stain.
Cos, everyone has an aim.
Why don't you stop this spade.
Which always makes the heart to blaze.
Don't forget about your ape.
Who will surely bite from the same cake.
Not even your mate.
This soo strange.
Why can't you brake this cane?
Into
RESPECT ATTAINMENTS
AIMS ACHIEVEMENTS
PERCEPTIONS STUNNING GREAT
ESSENTIALS SUPPORTING
But rather
REVOKING BLOOD RAGE
AMBITIONS SHUTTING DOWN
PUNISHING THE GUILTY
EXECUTING HUMAN RIGHT
why?
close that gate
It is a dirty way.
Don't shake
The same day
But try to make
A new base
That will sail on the lake
To spain.
That's the world's aim.

When there was no man, there was God
After men will perish there will be God
Man’s fate is doomed by being
On earth the sin of Adam he pays for
Heaven for virtues and hell for sins
This is what the providence decrees
This dictate makes man weary
How little time he has to experience the world
With youth gone and fabric of health in tatters his woes increase
His attainments, his glory and fame, a history
The shadow of Angel of death following him
With claws of death in readiness to maul.
(Influenced by a verse of Mirza Ghalib)

Imagination Nil !!!-
Daydreams Still !!!
Inspiration - no long born of, imagination lying in deaths arms.
Creation - no longer lives in, daydreams in decay alarms.
Imagination and daydreams have little force and no charms.
Function for this brain seemed best served at realities door.
Compunction, for inspiration and creation – for me – where little more
than some insignificant attainments resurrected from my memories store.
All is gone, slips into the a void, an abyss of the forgotten,
where all decays, lays there in the dark and goes rotten.
Thank heavens for imagination, daydreams from some,
for inspiration and creation brings forth what’s to come
that can, that will bring the good, or the bad, from
the minds with imagination and daydreams – it’s done.

College educations certainly aren't readily available to all.
Some are totally awed by exorbitant tuition expense.
Boys and girls of good intenions must apply
for available scholarships as soon as possible,
expecting to adhere to academic rules
and demanding of themseves only best efforts.
Starting as freshmen in highschool, ambitious students
aim for a scholarship of worth as part of their educational future.
Every teacher, in knowledge of the enormous price of good educations
will acquaint her adolescent pupils of current opportunities.
Parents, eager to assist their adolescent children,
add sacrifice of self and treasury assets.
Combined efforts keep our future as bright as past attainments.

I trail along behind the morning chirpy magpie
to liberate from the materialistic vice,
sturdily race up the alley of rocky green hills
horses galloping on bright yellow daffodils,
i earnestly climb up to the hill prime
i embrace the nature vigorously with a warm smile,
i stop and admire the glorious countryside
while the fresh morning breeze runs down my spine,
cotton candy clouds floating high up in the sky
butterflies and bees tireslessly rises up high,
i watch the sun wakes from the distant misty horizen
capturing every exhilarating moments,
releasing lifes turbulance,grief and torments
while witnessing gods most amazing attainments,
around me tranquillity and calm,everything at peace
listening to birds singing,with such ease,
bluebells and dandelions majestically hovering care-free
the earths countryside musk,purifies me,
i notice the morning star gradually fades
while the rays of the sun exhaling,canopys the earth shades.

Yes, I am alive
With pain, agony and heartache
To breathe I strive
Anguish is my life’s make
Abandoned by love
Deserted by friends
Riding the seas turbulent and rough
Slipping down from exuberant ascends
Hopes skulking behind
The screen of despair
Tears shying from the world unkind
My faltering vision my thoughts impair
Is nothing but pain?
The outcome of life
Is soul in chain?
Of throes, torments and strife
My demonised nights call out!
Flickering morning stars speak!
Is this where the life leads you about
From all the attainments and glory’s peak?
