Long Swim against the tide Poems

To Whom It May Concern

If I should suddenly take my last breath
Leave my mortal coil behind
And succumb to the dark of death
Think this of me

I may have been a simple humble man
For a brief moment...

In times of affliction
I raise a voice.
A pain in my heart
Difficult to disguise.

A tale of wrong
You cannot deny.
A wound so deep,
It makes me cry.

Delicate and subtle,
But sublime by nature.
Chosen for you,
From the Greatest Protector.

Like a...

My father had a passion to swim in the open sea
He used to shout, come on,” *Babu, will teach you”.
But never had the courage to respect his calls due.
While I sat on the sand watching...

Everyday I go birdwatching,
I see them-
Seagulls, Geese, Humming birds-
Flutter and puff out their wings,
To soar the tinted sky-
Dancing along the clouds like small jets,
Or the carefree glide of paper aeroplanes.

I watch as their wings carry...

Life’s ocean of colors carries me 
home. Red and blue waves flow into you 
and days gone by. I am afloat, often 
rolling over and under its surf, a tidal wave 
reflected violet like a...

                Shadows hiss_per, of secret, 
buildup-congealed,
no longer trapped within curiosity's seals.
Oceans of thoughts crash, unrested,
on the rocks and hard-placed
reveal of...

our beautiful balloon, about to burst
  an endless journey suddenly meets its end
    our faults forced us to tango
  photographs torn, shattered glass in the open
our roads split in two,...

I walked out of a home, a cage, safety and routine,
And ventured into the wild, where beasts roam free.
The dangers were plenty around me, but so was the thrill,
And I knew in my bones, this...

The sun is slowly rising and a soft wind gently blows
We are heading for the beach to feel the sand between our toes
There is something about the summer sun and a walk along the shore
That...

Whatever happened to in depth analysis?
Whatever happened to in depth discussion?
Whatever happened to in depth research?
Whatever happened to in depth investigation?

Are we doomed to a life in the shallows for millennia to come?
Are we doomed...

My Pen.

Blue ink spilt on paper
From the pen with witch I write
Words flow from my heart and souls
Golden light
Words of love words of sorrow
About the past
And tomorrow
At times
Words of rage
My pen a weapon
For injustice cruelty...

In crisis we swim
Hunger for education has made us slim
The beauty of dye was washed by rain
From ignorance to ignored we leave by cain
Solidarity of the heart some withstand the pain

Minors relishing nothing from national...

I knelt down at a little creek
To cure my aching thirst.
But before the water touched my cheek
It asked me something first:

“Whose reflection is this here?
Does it have a name?
It has your eyes and look of...

The purpose of gender is balance and procreation.
One moon is enough for us.
Our precious moon 
Has a differing purpose.

The moon reflects the sunlight
During late, dark nights.
It ensures we never find
Ourselves without light.

The moon is known...

You say you will, but then you won’t
Say you do and then you don’t
I’m running around in circles all the time
You tell me that you’re feeling low
Saying maybe I should go
Then the next minute you’re...

Waves

Underwater, the chains, tying me to the world, break, 
In the rippling waves, my shivering body does quake.

Underwater, my body as weightless as a ghost lies, 
Where all sound is muted, where salt stings my...

I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe
Not loved by everyone
but I strive for goodness truth and peace

I fight against injustice
and provide a voice for...

I want to swim against the tide.. 
And crawl when I should run.
I want to leap off the tallest mountain.. 
And soar into the sun.

I want to be blinded by the darkness..
And feel the warmth...

Love potion no. 9

I dived into a cauldron of magic potion 
And thought I would never survive
But here I am to tell the tale 
Of how I’m still alive
I saw a chance and dived right...
