Only thought can resemble. It resembles by being what it sees, hears, or knows; it becomes what the world offers it.

A Change Of Time!
A change of time changes everything in life!
Glorious poetry turned into prose for use earlier;
Stories, novels and articles ruled prominent;
With the coming of computer poetry resurrected!
Now everybody enjoys indulging in poetry for fun;
Articles, stories and novels are superseded by poetry!
Many poetry websites entertain new poets daily;
Many enjoy poetry reading and writing at anytime!
Poetry has become cheap product for all to use;
Nobody thought that such a thing could happen!
Nobody buys poetry books but novels and magazines;
Is poetry a use and throw material only in market now?
The things that cannot be expressed in stories, novels
Are done in poetry to satisfy heart, thought and spirit!

If i let them touch me

If I let them resemble

A Problem
Let none resemble another; let each resemble the highest!
How can that happen? let each be all complete in itself.

What Is Life?
Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight ?
An absolute Self--an element ungrounded--
All, that we see, all colours of all shade
[Image]By encroach of darkness made ?--
Is very life by consciousness unbounded ?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,
A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?

I obviously prefer writing novels but I take my journalism very seriously, and I enjoy doing it between novels. It gives me an opportunity to move in the outside world.

After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time; I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.

There were a lot of adventure books for boys, historical novels by Kenneth Roberts, and whatever mystery novels the alarmed librarian imagined might not corrupt an eager but innocent youth.

Colors and Joys of Life
Colors and joys of life resembles a rainbow,
A rainbow Allures, Bolsters, Charms,
Delights, Excites, Fascinates and even
relieves agony out of life.
But sorry, it doesn't happen to be eternal
it vanishes in a while,
My pal, don't have to worry
for rainbow comes often, with the sky so bright
Relieving the bitter memories of past, Revivifying the present,
and Rejuvenating the future.
May Rainbows be a good part of life,
Thank God, and don't let it to be deceptive.

Life’s Cocktail
Revising the story of life, we learn every detail,
The most we can say is that it resembles drinking the cocktail.

Sex is. There is nothing more to be done about it. Sex builds no roads, writes no novels and sex certainly gives no meaning to anything in life but itself.

Salt is Sweet
Its dessert of salt
Rains mostly in night
And rarely in light
Has day and night
Color is black and white
Black resembles night
White resembles light
But its heart is black
So pours mostly in night
Whenever heart is tight
It pours all the night
Until heart sees light
Its rain is always salty
So it is very colorful
And makes life cheerful
It makes heart light
From night to light
With its salty rain
Its salt is very tasty
So drink it with heart
It makes heart strong
And makes life sweep
All past-reaped grief
With its flowing tears
Tears salt is sweet

Every four years I wait for world cup football;
Every four years with same feeling & enthusiasm!
Though at distant place but nearer to numerous heart;
Is this are passing of balls or just sharing of ideas!
Emphasizes speed & accuracy in life,
Injects sophistication in friendship and
Time stops me to get lost and
Incites me to rejuvenated with each goals like a celebration in life!
Not a question to win or loose rather defeats renders inspiration!
Technique practiced in life resembles with that of game of football.

When I was still a child
When I was still a child
I thought my love would be
Noble, truthful, brave,
And very kind to me.
Then all the novels said
That if my lover prove
No such man as this
He had to forfeit love.
Now I know life holds
Harder tasks in store.
If my lover fail
I must love him more.
Should he prove unkind,
What am I, that he
Squander soul and strength
Smoothing life for me?
Weak or false or cruel
Love must still be strong.
All my life I'll learn
How to love as long.

Early Darkness
How can you say
earth should give me joy? Each thing
born is my burden; I cannot succeed
with all of you.
And you would like to dictate to me,
you would like to tell me
who among you is most valuable,
who most resembles me.
And you hold up as an example
the pure life, the detachment
you struggle to acheive--
How can you understand me
when you cannot understand yourselves?
Your memory is not
powerful enough, it will not
reach back far enough--
Never forget you are my children.
You are not suffering because you touched each other
but because you were born,
because you required life
separate from me.
