In the olden days, like about five years ago'
Take a trip to the west from town..Till you
Arrive at kryal castle..It was the first one
Around..You can see knights jousting? Sit in
The great hall.' I ate fresh baked bread there
Still warm, dipped in fresh cream..peasants
Fare.' To get a feel for the scenes.' For how it
Was in a medevil age, n'all.' There is chance to image

Bottomless bottles of bile, in my wake
In my wake, if i were to awaken,
O' wakeful wonder to wrench mine withered eyes
Aware'f the withering summer haze
Out in my bright eyed future, out in my cross toe'd path
Pompous poppies t'prop mine withering body
Lest f'saken soil shall chance this chance and enwrap thy very soul
Whole, wholly in unholy disrepair
Where thy feet ne'er

In the Wake of Transformation
Affirmed & Perfect
I looked at my reflect,
Green T-shirt paired with black pants,
Hopes of bright future surged ahead.
I waited long, till a van came,
Reached late when class had already commenced,
Nervous and unknown in that herd,
I thought,
Someone would know the Aditi I left.
With each passing day,
I, too, failed

IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS
IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS
In today’s diabolical
Political renderings,
Let’s not be like
Naked sage trees:
Leaves and fruits rotting
In unjust, bigoted political dirt:-
Rather, today let’s spring into life
And be like un-cocooned butterflies,
Soaring free and prepared as ought to be:
Pollinating flowering life with justice and equality:-
And like hived bees, let’s be about the honey flowing
Of

Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
My Poem of 2009-10 resubmitted for new members of Poetry Soup.
Wake up O Inhabitants of this Earth ii
.
Wake up before it is too late
Wake up before the misdeeds with Nature
Takes away with them, the best
And the most beautifully nourished and preserved
Our priceless and most precious wealth
The ice from Mountains, Glaciers

Watching the Wake
Watching the Wake
The river serenity incarnate.
Water like a liquid mirror holding the sky, the trees
Light falling in late summer eve perfection.
We smoothly glide along in the small boat
With old friends,
Saying nothing.
Looking behind us all the way
For hours, fascinated
I study how our wake unfolds behind us
From a tossing turbulence
To a small and perfect wave behind that,
Curling

Wake up and hear the silence
How long do you think
you can ride the coattails
of blissful ignorance?
Isn't it flagrantly obvious that
you are skating on thin ice...
and equally evident that
you're living on borrowed time?
How long do you think
you can get away with avoiding
the elephant in the room?
Have I been the unjaded enabler
whilst my silence should have screamed
to you louder than any multitude

WAKE UP!!!!
In the echoes of the night the one lonesome sound of a train not knowing where it’s bound
It rolls on past the towns the rivers and the bends around corners unseen
As danger lays in wait anticipating contemplating its next move along the cold steel rails that’s bound for heaven or bound for hell only

if you wake up with a stick in your bed you have a dog
if the stick is chewed into eighteen pieces you have a puppy
if there is no stick you either do not have a dog

Wake Up
Wake up
Stop dreaming
Hear the birds chirping
Thank God for the blessings
Each breath is a gift
Breathe in
Focus on your role
Hit the core with a heart of gold
Stay low-key, no time to envy
Seek discipline
Kneel to the Man who never sinned

The Other Side of the Pillow
In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom,
and silence reigns in my shadowed room,
my pillow waits, serene, composed,
awaiting my sleepy head to doze.
Beneath my head it yields its form,
to cradle my crown from day’s storm,
and offer a sweet night’s repose,
yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows?
She seems so sweet, pretends to care,
yet every night disturbs

Wake Up!
Wake up.
Wake up!
I tried to pry my eyes open.
Wake up.
I clawed and clawed at my open eyes.
I could not wake.
Why could I not wake from this nightmare?
Wake up.
I stopped fighting.
I could feel it coming back.
Everything came back.
It played before my eyes once again.
Over.
And over.
And over

Wake Up!
Each eyelash lifted
With the leverage of purity.
Wake up,
Not just in the morning.
Always, is the answer
You’ve been searching for:
OK. then,
Why are you always asking?
There is only one answer:
Now!
You are only here for this,
So…
Wake up!
That’s all there is to it.
