Short Formulation Poems

Dogs, communication
auditory perception 
transcends the act
in the sense of formulation
 the animal instinct
performs the sketch... barks !...

There's a well-known popular formulation --
Achievement's ninety-nine percent perspiration
On the heels of one percent inspiration  

What's missing from this lopsided equation?
  ~ The not insignificant role of desperation...

tanka, no tanka
just syllabification
a lingua franca
a certain formulation
in need of a vacation

hoping sensation
engaged form degradation
brought indignation,
abhorrence, irritation
and requests for cessation

One lone man against Leviathan
With its signals and its code
It’s forms and formulation
What’s a soul to do,
Bend and yield as a willow
Or stand proud and tall as an oak?

You tell me,
Or better yet ask Jonah
In the belly of the beast.

The beginning of an era
Is the assumption of the world
The ending of the chapter
Is the description of the universe

Indulge yourself
Centralise the thoughts
Surround the well being
Conquer the fears

The formulation of a strategy
Is the core value
The application of a knowledge
 Is actually is for the best...

The dryness of the trees
The coldness of the water
The moisture of the air
Waiting is a virtue

The owning of the territory
The patience of knowing
The strengths of honesty
Waiting is a virtue

The arrival of the unexpectance
The formulation of the currency
The anticipation of the outcome
Waiting is a virtue...

What a turn of events
Those memories make floods look like tears
Hilarious as it is
I am amused

What a formulation of change
Those pains make the rain look like laughter
Sweeter as it is
My taste buds are awkward

What a creation of the future
The laughter make the volcano look like a thunderstorm
Amazing as it is
I am touched...

To formulate an idea
To regulate your behaviors to accommodate
another's ideas
..opinions....emotions...hungers...needs
spacial requirements and time
is harder than one would theoretically imagine
when and while writing the fairytale novel 
of one's own beating repeating pulsing craving ravenous immortal timeless spaceless supernatural 
heartbeat...

It is teachable 
Yet it cannot be found 
The sequences
It is reachable 
Yet it cannot be established 
The formulation
Happiness,

Release those feelings 
As they would not be needed 
It has come
Release that pain
As it would not be endured
It has gone
Freedom,

It is productive 
Yet it cannot be used
The morals
It is constructive 
Yet it cannot be created 
The values
Happiness...

As I sharpen my pencil
I wonder, truthfully wondered
What are they saying about me
What are they thinking about me
What would be, would be

As I lay on my bed
I imagine, truthfully imagined
What would they do
What would they say
What is coming, would certainly come

As I look into my soul
I felt a sense of certainty
What a blessed creation
What a complicated formulation
What is meant to be, would certainly  be...

The unveiling of circumstances
Lead  me to realise
That love needs to be nurtured
The encounter of problems
Lead me to believe
That growth is in moderation

The are no words to disclose
These seated agreements
The are feelings to express
These distinguished thoughts
  
The formulation of emotions
Lead me to be selective
That my love is precious
The emphasis of well being
Lead me to be keen
That knowledge is utilised...

A distraction is not a noise
Is a commotion of signs
A movement
A sequence is not a route
Is a formulation of a plan
A master piece
Enjoy the journey,

As the air is fresh
Count your breathing 
Inhale,release
As the wind is sallty
Count those drops
Inhale,absorb
A destination,

A song is not a dance
Is a set of written  words
A tale
A story is not a joke
Is a set of profound feelings
A painful experience 
Enjoy your journey....

It takes an amount
Of growth
Is it certain ingredients?
It takes an amount 
Of time
Is it certain qualities?
Peeling of a coconut,

Love embraces you
To know yourself 
So that there is a responsibility 
Knowledge Modifies you
To know your values 
So that there is a accountability 
Opening if a coconut,

It takes an amount 
Of silence 
Is it the agenda?
It takes an amount
Of integrity 
Is it the formulation?
Exploration of a coconut....

God itself we are,
human life we have chosen,
chosen it as its the ideal way of life to one finding his / her light,
so many meaningful lessons on different paths.,

Until all paths shall become one,
indeed god would have learned more about its creation the universe,
its creation on different paths with different lessons to share & learn.,

Merge all into one sequence,
halting the division,
a individualistic division which is terminating the formulation of our divinity....

Is it silence that the mind concieves a formulation for all that has been seen
Or could it be in the cauous where one manipulates the scene

Could you turn down the grandeur and pick up a piece 
Can you lift up the curtain and sweep up the seeds
Climb a stair to the attic to see what's been missed
Paint a daring picture from your  favorite list
Lose yourself for a moment and finally confess
Weld all the pieces and present your true self
