Now that's going a little over the top-is
A gorgeous specimen
I stick to my regimen
Eating fruits and veggies and yummy grasses

Back where it all started this life
There were a lot of bright colours
Deciding to take our time upon this
Poe; to do a Michelangelo: jasper's muse
As I'm going a bit too fast ? We'll turn it into a love fest....
Breaking away from vertigoville; mania valley's terse twister, thrills....

Wearing love’s unbalanced bow
elegance lost in a long distance

A scrambled discord in each era
Lost chapters leer, at every goal
Last of heart’s patchy piecemeal

Going a shorter way is tempting
Only, soul knows it cannot be so…

The sun is a shining, 
My heart is a pining, 
Bright summer is here,
The hammock reclining,

I'm going a swimming, 
My heart is a brimming, 
Cool water calls out,
I'm already dreaming,

Light flowers are dancing, 
My heart is romancing, 
With melting ice creams,
Summer is entrancing.

So a poet is a writer
a writer with a spirit
a spirit without time
a time for conversation

A conversation of chants
a chant composed while going a way
a going away down a path
a path where I look back

So I look back at what I've seen
And what I've seen
is mystical to me
traces of mystical moments

Mystical moments in many forms
grasped in an instant
an instant in time
in time taken away like life....

The Magic Of The Road

So many roads
Each going a different way
Following its own path
They may intersect
Crossing each other
Allowing travelers just a second
Before they go along their way
But rarely two roads combine
Becoming one steady path
Travelers meet and walk together
Getting to know each other
And maybe falling in love
As rare as that is
It does happen to many
And that is the magic of the road...

Some purple sparks in the overall dark
Made the way to move ahead
Average horizons to embark
For alphabets with butter and bread

Applied colors on some photos
Crayons going a little astray
Pruned this poem and picked that prose
Streets a montage green and gray

People say the paint has gloss
I smile at twilight moss

The art of living is mastered
by knowing how far to go
and then going a little farther
A nail sticking up gets hammered
so, holding the wood together is a goal
and after planing, several mounds its able to gather

Don't be blown by the turbulent winds of humanity
Don't let uneventful events define your moments
Live like everyday you're born anew
If you live by the world's insanity
or dwell on its casting ceaseless comments
you'd be bidding too quickly an adieu...

ALPHABETH POEM: A FOR APPLE

An Apple a day
Keeps the doctor away,
Giving fiber in each bite
Protecting against the mites.

Everyday eating apples
Or drinking some snapples,
All well and fruity
As though its your duty.

That red, green or yellow apple
The choice being subtle,
The pectin in the skin
Makes "going" a win.

there are those
who lived by the sides
of my ever-green forests
whose naked feet
trudged along my endless
bush-paths -
there are those
whose voices
still mutter in tremulous sounds
to unheeding sons
& daughters
within some grave-yards
of new happiness
there are those
whose faces saw the twigs
of today in old mud-morrow
tho still going a-sorrow -
these are the clan's sages
who sit unseen
among us
like our casualties -
these are the ancestors
who sit unseen
like us
in a world of the casualties...
