It’s been a year since I joined the soup,
Meanwhile we’ve gone round the sun in a loop,
Sadly some fell off, didn’t quite make it all the way,
I’m clinging on, hoping to find one better day.
But the loop continues, has to persist,
Like our thoughts, it’s what makes us exist,
So off we go on our journey, around once more,
Headlong to tomorrow, unsure what’s in store.
Creating poems of all shapes and every kind,
Unaware what verse will next spring to mind,
Oh boy then it comes, at once all together,
A feeling of achievement moments of pleasure.
Sometimes I wonder are they already written,
Preprogrammed into life, an untapped composition,
Latently buried, in the back of our mind,
Placed there by creation, or maybe design.
So like it or not, as we loop around the soup
One thing I’m sure of, this life is no fluke,
And that’s us in a nutshell, as we spiral through space,
Today seems the same, but earths in a different place.

For want of full virtuous zeal oligarchs thrive
Against deserving clamor for brighter ideals;
And perennially trampled commoners groan
Under weight no inured villain distantly feels.
Bereft of real fighting energy better humans
Give in to the more determined aims to slay
Life's fairer side and reward villainy's titans;
Enabling winds that fuel evil's choking sway.
Vice is a flightless bird cast in wingless youth;
And his bold victims must know this total truth:
Kind men unwilling to act knit wing and plume
That latently promote all enemy gall and fume.
And culpable crime's not by commission alone,
But by hesitations to clip his spiraling webs too;
They're held to have fired with the outlaw’s gun,
Quiet eyes that see the victim thus cruelly gone.
Even much more to blame is the idle watcher,
Than cold-blooded hands that steal or torture.
sweetheart where are you I am yours you are mine
In my solitude you are my apple eyes you are my soulful wine
Like a heaven you enter into my dreamy universe of sea route link
You are my darling you are my flame of treasure of drink
you are my one and only valentine stole my heart fully
Thou art has that power of attraction touched my soul internally
You are my choclate pie in the romance latently ignited wish
driving me crazy and delight in your light illumination of kiss
Thou world is serene and beautiful in the warm n cold breezes ,sea n oceans
In every season you are my umbrella of pure love in all walks of life formations
Like a sensational vibration as soon as my eyes meets your eyes likee a onion
Touched my essence of hope in darkness like a family of union
At a certain point
He happened to be a pretender
Deviating the track he came
Like an iguana
Way of flowing the life
Broke and changed
Language of words
Feelings and expressions
Thoughts and strategies
Smiles and laughs
Became an artificial drama of an actor
Does his role very latently
Lie being the reality
Life becomes the reality of lie
From then on
Vanished the soul and
Reborn a different mind
Because of that
Life being shaped
Before the mirror
He is same but different in soul
