Long Unreached Poems

A tale told by trees, rooted
in the things that yearn
far from sight and light of day
deep within the earth…

drinking deep...

When the first humans walked the earth,
They all huddled in droves,
Hooted and cried to warn of dangers,
Lurking in the mangrove,

Loud voices and echoes, conveyed a return,
Along with a large kill,
A lone unreached tenor, to a...

We owe it to our doctors… 
The ones who took it to be part of Sun Pharma’s greater mission;

Hell is a place of eternal torture
With restlessness’ angst and despair-puncture
Sealing the faithless in their doomed future
Midst cruel hatred’s defiant gesture.

Where misery’s gloom prevails in blackness
Due to sufferings, despair,...

A
beetle
contemplates
death- with babies,
each one, him reborn.
Fortunately, love's peace,
gives no yearning or felt angst.
Hell arrives, in a spray can's mist.
Instant genocide, heaven's unreached.

Knowledge born, burdensome...

Is there a permanence to the meaning of the word ‘greatness’?
Whatever does it mean ‘to be great’ or ‘to feel great’?

 Yet pressing on horizons, never defined,
 moving beyond rainbows,
 Pillars...

The cascading stream leaping in swirling ebullience
Through dancing shadows of swaying trees entranced
The spectral dew drops draping the glinting grass tips
Weave lattice of splendor on the meadow bejeweled

It comes again—like a familiar rhyme—
The sweet and tender sense of bygone days
Like this; a promise kept that all will be
All right for friends and family, and me.

song is the freedom of captured souls, 
trapped in unseen cages with unreached goals, 
unravelled deep from heart, played with flair,
their melodies are set free in air, 
rebound from stony walls, flow down streams,
ripple emotions,...

A time of reckoning, a few more beers
Once wooded, now populated, concrete
Where crickets chirped, now a street
Dreams dying, goals unreached, a new reality
Coming face to face with your own mortality
Material achievement, awards...
