The eagle’s wings flap with elegance and vigor;
even though the wind blows with great strength and power.
While both branch and twig sway due to a shrill clear sound,
as the green leaves rustle above the conscious ground.
This ferocious feathered appendage shows fierceness;
He untiringly glides with deftness and quickness.
Because he lets hope and trust win over the storm
that intends to inflict evil, damage, or harm.
When he is on a flight, his eyes are on target;
seeing his abode in the mountain of sunset.
He shows sheer happiness and joy when he goes home;
reaching the nest of his young ones that never roam.
He fearlessly leaps from the tree to fly and glide
to scan the view below with his glory and pride.
His eyesight shows sharpness along with his keen mind;
his heart bravely pulsates as love is there to find.

Sitting here under an old shady tree I heard
voices of school children from afar;
Though vague in the distance it left me
reminiscing memories of long ago.
Ah, our voices
when we were young
and oh, so true!
Untiringly climbing mountain
dancing and singing in the rain.
We built and shouted our dreams
of who we will be decades from then,
Until our voices echoed in the cliffs;
And thousand times returned to us.
Now, here under the old shady tree,
I mumble, "oh, childhood, where art thou? "
And as the voices vanish,
I hear birds chirping in unison.

Truthfulness is a pure arT
Renders blunt when alteR
Uniting all chosen as lieU
To bless the inclined faulT
Hosting all one, all througH
Forever ties openness stifF
Untiringly glad of its burN
Lessening to faults heaL
National city of the mooN
Eagerly grows off blamE
Stock a beauty muse seekS
Such on earth is not a misS
Tell a lie and stunT
Read the lines reD
Use no drug for flU
Treats life a peT
Hang on the tougH
Flee far all flufF
Until facts become ioU
Lasting so tilL
No fear has its turN
Ells beauty's enginE
Sorting blunt kisS
Silence the likes of JudaS

==========================
When the inks of writers untiringly bleed
And readers with them follow the instructions
We will survive the virus
When the prevention is unmet by rejection
And all mankind in Union stand
We will Survive the virus
When fear is overcome by care
And man drags the virus from our years
We will survive the virus
So, in hope we look to the day
When the cork crows a new dawn
And chirping birds above us dance
As temple bells are rung again
And joyful noise from the play grounds resound
Then we’ll know that we survived the virus

I sulk I cry none bothers, they care a fig
although I slog in the house as if a pig
untiringly serve them day n night
they ignore all that outright
if I demand attention or take recourse to crying
they feel some tactics I'm applying
I can't see them morose but smile
Sometimes I just want them to sit with me for a while
none has the intention or time
they feel they have other things prime
will have to live like this lonely
learn to live on my own solely
cant they see I too work hard
all my pleasures are thus marred
except for some attention
I've no material intention
how long can I thus function
I feel lost n companionless at this junction
to unwind I've tried meditation
it gives me little or no peace I'll say without hesitation
what do I do wither shall I go
I want some time they must know
Always when I am annoyed I forgive
As with love together we must live
We must live with the policy of forgive n forget
This is the way family life remains set
If one doesn't forgive tensions build
If a heart is broken, it takes long to be healed.

A ten eared ten footed ten nosed rabbit collided with a sixty metre tree one day. Oh dear. Not very good is it. Removal of one is surviving on the remains. So off comes one nose one ear and one foot. Then hopping off happily he bumped into mr hurricane. Mr hurricane he cried. Can you not move the land nearer as I cannot simply jump with one less foot over to the forest. The gap is too wide. The drop is steep. Please help. So Mr hurricane looked at his watch then began to turn and turn and turn. The ground sighed and shook. Then once all became still and the cow had sailed past in the air. The pathways had joined. Now rabbit could move. For untiringly unwittingly undergoing is often quite unique.

Maturity...
Cracking open the stone heart of mountains,
Gurgling with youthful force,
Young,
Virgin,
Crystal clear,
The waterfall of life
Flows gushingly past all odds,
Taking along boulders, stones, rocks of resistance
Washing off all inhibitory inertia
The music,
The floor,
A loud different genre
Creating paths,
Dancing through
Making a bed
Now called river
Steady,
Yet powerful
Deep
Yet serene
Helping the oars of life
To carry on
Anchoring the tired
Resting the boats
Talking to sails
Helped by occasional winds
To move on
Meditating on the banks
Are the same crystal waters
Knowing the gush has ebbed
Flowing strongly
Yet untiringly
Journeying towards the ultimate
Sea of Love...
A destination that encompasses
The very being
Into ultimate sublimity of divine
No whirl created by a pebble throw
Is capable of distraction
The ‘dusk’ witnesses this maturity
Which the river has brought along...
@ ‘dusk’......

When your thoughts don't enter into mine
And my thoughts evade yours
Then who put the compulsions that
You and me should face each other in the boxing ring?
Better, I should stare at the clock for ages
Listening to the crumbling minarets of thoughts
All the external dins and bustles flowing past
Better, I am left with my own ancient self
My musings overflowing streams
Against the tides I swim untiringly
So many forms I see myself in
In so many places, even in stages of reverie
I am the sole protagonist, you all revolve
Keeping me in the centre
Lighting my torch of angelic bliss
I watch the rise of dreams at the horizon of grey reality
Despite all these
Must I spell out what I am thinking?
