Crush the rebellion
I am determined to crush the rebellion,
Send them packing and back into pavilion,
I bring them to sense with high handedness,
If need be hang them in public to show hardness,
These were the methods practiced by rulers,
Single word to be upheld as doctrine or pillars,
No one to violate and nothing to question,
All in good faith so no question of rejection,
In modern days modus operand is changed,
Practice same but orderly and convincingly arranged,
Behind the doors malpractice cleverly managed,
Call to all but promises conveniently words reneged,
I am determined to halt the assault,
It is not the system but poets at fault,
Falling easy prey and like ice melt,
No agony, no pain and no regret felt,
This forum is like sacred temporal seat,
Here everybody come and own drums beat,
Submit the creation and eternal peace find,
It can be temple, church or mosque we don’t mind,
Very essence of spirit should not be destroyed,
No unholy practice or steps be employed,
Divinity in words always prayed and recited,
Nothing to amuse or get little excited,
There are many who can excel and shine,
But unfair practice keeps them at bay for while,
Why to stop them when they can go for extra mile,
For a sakes of few why to snatch a beautiful smile?
I know I may be singled out and malign,
But may not withdraw and merely resign,
Body brightens when remains put on consign,
The cause is good and welcome sign,
Let others not feel deprived and cheated,
They should find honourable place and seated,
New talents may find way and evenly flourish,
Not force on them untimely exit and perish

Not Only a Practice But a Fact
My attachment to God
Is not only a practice but a fact.
God and I have been very close...
I do not question my faith.
Nor do I seldom stay in heartbreak.
Not these days and not for long.
Not as long as I know,
My faith in God...
Keeps me strong.
My attachment to God,
Is not only a practice but a fact.
I don't have to be self righteous!
God knows my habits.
I can not hide them behind God's back.
There is no sense in that!
Whatever this is where I am,
That gives me a consciousness to understand.
I only have to be myself.
And the more I accept it,
The taller of a man I stand!

Thank You!
Two little words that mean so much, a courtesy expressed...
A chance you really ought to clutch: somebody's done their best!
Two little words that show you're pleased because somebody cared!
Somebody helped thus tensions eased when love itself was shared...
Two little words can change a life, acknowledging a debt:
When calm was brought to what was strife, or joy replaced regret!
Two little words so simply said and yet what hope they bring!
They seem to dissipate our dread and cause our hearts to sing!
Two little words, just two, no more! What practice is required?
Good manners help both rich and poor and so they're quite admired!
Two little words said with a smile can bless somebody's day -
They have a certain sense of style that time can't wear away!
Two little words as sweet as wine, like nectar to the bees!
Their sentiment is just divine, they open doors like keys!
Two little words that bless the Church, the office and the home -
So close to us, no need to search, because they never roam!
Two little words that even Christ was wise enough to speak!
Lord Jesus knows they're highly prized! Indeed, they're quite unique!
Two little words God likes to hear directed to His Throne!
Of all the words to volunteer, they're the greatest ever known...

Feelings cause behaviours.
You attack a system, assault a tradition,
Criticize a person, condemn a practice,
Scorn the lowly and pass on judgment
Just to feel a sense of superiority.
You support a system, applaud a tradition,
Appreciate a person, follow a practice,
Pity the lowly and seek judgment
Just to feel a sense of security.

Speak Your Mind
How does it make you feel when i look away
Feelings that will never seem to fade i try to
Find you, you hold your head up high i let it all
Fall down do you hear me
Falling away fromt his pain so i can fly high,
Feeling low just let it show
And find the words to say what you mean
Screaming silent fears, nothing left to say, lost
Inside the words that bring you donw you try to
Find me, i hold my head up high, you let it all fall
Down do you hear me
Find the words to say how you feel inside
Find the words to say how you feel inside
Find the words to say

And no more dreams
Dream always
If fail the ways
If you find no rays
If you are not able to pass the days
It ultimately pays
Let us not limit
Let us not forget and omit
Let it mushroom and permit
To grow in open and under the sky
Never question and ask why?
It is always there but don’t feel shy
Trust him always and sincerely try
Think of powerful wings and fly
Where will you stop?
Mountains atop
At horizon’s end
What will you send?
Beautiful roses
Good pictures
With nice poses
Breath for a while
Prepare for an extra mile
Look in the eyes
Go and get him
He is there to greet
Ready to meet
That’s it
Why to dream when it is there?
Think how to find and where?
Would you ever care?
Is it not fair?
Not to stare
See through
Love true
Only woo

Can't be undone
The truth remains same and can't be undone
The past and by gone may remain always bygone
The God has given you beautiful mind to inscribe on paper
It is how you feel and ink it on the subject matter
It does not remain then poetry
They are hidden words and not mystery
Every kind heart might have felt its impact
Let us make it as unforgettable holy act
Some one may see it as real art
Some words may be inserted as skillful craft
What actually you are doing with words?
Making it sharper than even swords?
Mind may read several things and store
It may add little or even more
The imagery may not remain ever confined
The feeling may come out and stay as defined
Poetry is reflection of clear mind
Many ideas may find mention and find
The safe refuge to come out at free will
It has to reside there and wait for still
It is like holy temple, mosque or church
You can create space, place and make search
It will create perfect environment with recognition
Only it will need proper key for ignition

Unique Masterpiece
Remember, you are a unique masterpiece.
With your talents, tastes and toils you can increase
Chances that this world will house a better fellow man.
No one like you has gone before… or ever will again.
Your talents are impressive, but only if you recognize
Their strength depends on faith in self. Then you’re truly wise.
The world prefers to ignore your words, as it rushes on its way.
But you can change minds and hearts if you believe what you say.
Your tastes in life can’t be mundane or your talents won’t unfold.
To better complacent man, your values must be brave and bold.
Study history’s masters and disasters then chart your time.
Battles will be hard, fields scarred, but less would be a crime.
How many times have superior toils determined spoils of war?
Make that extra effort until your mind and body roar.
It’s not brains or brawn, but dedication on the practice field.
Unique masterpiece, never cease. You can make the world yield!

Failures-Pillars of success
When failure comes our way,
Our heart yearns to slam everything away,
The world around us seems so unfair,
It is intolerable and difficult to bear!
Tears ignore to take a halt,
And we think that it’s our entire fault.
The atmosphere around us does not seem gay,
Of hope, we don’t find a single ray,
We don’t even know what life will bring,
We feel like leaving everything,
No excuse, no alibi, no reason seems valid,
God’s kingdom itself seems invalid,
During failure, this is the case for everyone,
But through failures, we must always learn,
That we must not be in a mess,
For failures are the pillars of success.
And if you arise after you fall,
Be sure that you’ve hit the ball,
Because those who fear are nothing but cowards,
Everything to them seems difficult and hard,
Through failures, we realize the value of success,
And know that it does not have an easy access,
Because success is a peace of mind,
Such a self-satisfaction, you’ll never find!

Can never reach on top
I can never reach on the top,
Many road blocks and stop,
Climbing difficult on high slope,
But still efforts more with attempts nonstop,
I am amused but is a fact,
Unhealthy competition for retaining position intact,
It is ploy, calculated and revised tactics,
Retaining position with clear statistics,
I have found method give and take,
Poets think water will not deplete in a lake,
You rate for me I will also rate and make,
We form a nexus and share the cake,
This is how we manage the scene,
Adhere to unfair practice always seen,
Why go for cheap name and so keen?
Alas! There would have fair practice been,
Now fair ideas and name is also for sale,
Create reddish on face but still look pale,
Cheating the soul with poetry and ideas to induct,
Canvassing for creative work as new product,
Things doesn’t stop at this stage,
Continuous link and always manage,
Sudden and artificial climb with artificial rating,
These all happen but lowers and prestige eating,
This is simple but done with intent,
Deprive the deserving with their patent,
If something good is to be done then curb the practice,
Judging to be done by purely merit and justice,
It gives joy to find place at top,
Ambition rise high with no stop,
When face actual scene develop cold feet,
Far from truth and eyes never meet,
It may be easy to manage floor show,
Desire, ambition and urge within grow,
But unable to maintain with natural flow,
When down to earth will be biggest blow,
Empires and kingdoms not built on rubbles,
Water can’t be controlled with untimely bubbles
Not sky can be aimed and created with holes,
Only one power can do it as only layer ozone

Noots
today is too late
how long do we have to wait
oh no, i think she knows
that's why i can't let go
i feel this burning inside
a feeling that no one should know
this could be so good again
i'd wait here till then
but not with this
so now i'll leave with
no apologies
i never thought you'd be so
easily decieved
now i'll just hang my head (falling further out of place)
along with the dead (don't know what/why i can't replace)
we're mad with regret
memories that we'll both forget
so far it's been so hard
to cover up these scars
i see this falling apart
it's easy to just let it go
no luck between us both
so i keep waiting
but not with this
so now i'll leave with
no apologies
i never thought you'd be so
easily decieved
now i'll just hang my head (falling further out of place)
along with the dead (don't know what/why i can't replace)
what's left to show
it's so bad but i got to know
what's right don't know
how to find it out on my own
one by one we all fall down
who's the first one to hit the ground now
what's worse to kick or fall
or be suss standing alone
ill keep your promises if you
take back every thing i said
i find its got so cold now
that i've lost my heart and soul
no apologies
i never thought you'd be so
easily decieved
now i'll just hang my head (falling further out of place)
along with the dead (don't know what/why i can't replace)
i'll just hang my head
hang my head

Lost For Words
If I can't find the words...
Waiting for this feeling
That I'm drowning in to subside
You make me swim like a beginner
Like I'm new at life
All these words don't come easy
No they always seem to stop
There is awkward silence yeah
Anytime we talk
Oh but I wanna let it in
I wanna ease all your doubts
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
Baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My face says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
I know I can send you flowers
To try to make my feelings clear
And girl I could hold you tight for hours
I wanna tell you what you're trying to hear
Oh and I wanna let it in
I wanna ease all your doubts
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
Baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My face says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
But I know sometimes I leave you so upset
Cos I got all these bits and pieces in my head
I know because I let you struggle with the things I haven't said
When I can't find the words
When I can't find the words
When I, when I, when I can't find the words
I wanna ease all your doubts (ease all your doubts)
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
But baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My smile says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
If I can't find the words

Prayer Words
I took some of my prayer words back
I felt guilty for putting my interest at stake
Is that the correct logic or prayers are meant?
Will God listen to such request and relent?
I, for one, reserve the opinion
I may not get support from any of the companion
It may not find even favor
As prayers are restricted only to save honor
Why do I ask to fill my heart with mercy and kindness?
When I am fully blessed with happiness on y face
I still pretend to be ignorant before him and pray
As if He knows nothing and directs you a new way
Why do we pray for our happiness and others loss?
Is it not the insult to sacred place and holy cross?
I go to him with malicious intent
Instead ask for things and never regret or lament
Even one look in His eyes may send waves of sympathy
You may receive signals directly fro the almighty
You just read in the eyes and try to understand sufferings undergone
You will forget your own pain and stand like stone
Prayers are meant to purity soul and supplement it with more
Try to find out if something can still be explored
If you can’t feed the hungry and show little kindness
Don’t bother much but that thought itself will give happiness on face
Can we deny that he is only one to think of whole universe?
Who can go against His wish and negate verses?
It is all for us to follow and put into practice
Let it become daily routine till we face the demise
I just look at Him and seek no words
Ask him to allow me to go forward
I shall not regret for any outcome
His blessings will always be appreciated and welcomed

A real love
It is love that makes you blind
It is force that makes you to bind
It is beautiful thing to find
Take it out from memory and unwind
It can make others to believe
You get joy and pain is relieved
Peace and happiness is delivered
All links maintained and not severed
It is magical phenomenal
Enough joy and happiness on its arrival
It has its own arena and color
It speaks in volumes and seen in flowers
It needs no explanation
No large volumes for narration
It is felt from within
It has nothing to confine
Say it all with good smile
You may forget it for a while
It has flow of river Nile
You can walk along for miles
It is neither hazardous nor easy
You can imagine and paint it rosy
It is gifted to lucky and deserving
It has its own purpose serving
Never distrust or malign
Fall in and closely align
Leave your prints in mind
It is sure for response to find
Love is directional ship
It may take you on long trip
It may have some ups and down
It will be made surely known
It is God’s wonderful creation
There can’t be any confusion or question
It is to be accepted with sincerity and in real
It can function as perfect deal
In past it has averted many civil wars
The danger is pushed and sent very far
The love rules the scene without showdown
Little later its impact will be known

Sun may shine
I am disgruntled lot
In air I fire a shot
Just warning to saboteurs
Never with good gesture
My country has been subjugated
Incidences are not co related
Stuffed with all lies and not to near fact
What else do you want us to act?
Have we not suffered humiliation so far?
Why there is twinkle smile by stars?
Why there is imposition of undeclared war?
Blockade of traffic and commodities pushed very far
Our children are dying male nutrition
Advance technology is developed with ammunitions
We are made target and skills tested
Why whole world wants us to be rested?
I have risen in rebellion
You are spending in billions
Not a taken on welfare and medicines
The earth is becoming and shines
We weep daily at sudden demise
Bullets pass on head and speculation rise
We will be annihilated completely by butcher
Where are the peace missions and researchers?
What do ask in return for cessation?
Is the real peace distant possibility or in question?
Do you ever find our sacrifice as heroic gesture?
We will gain freedom and are very sure
Let thousands perish in our just struggle for peaceful living
No struggle can succeed unless committed for relieving
All pains and sufferings undergone by old and young
We can be called martyrs and find the place among
I don’t speak of terrorists and blood seekers
I too don’t appreciate black marketers and money launderers
In which sense they are less than terrorists?
Get protection under cover and cleverly insist
We will certainly go a long way
No can snatch our freedom and take away
How motherland can be kept under forceful domination?
How population can be subjected to alienation?
We may have glorious day and sun may shine
Days are not far off when we may peacefully dine
Now we are licking wounds with only one hope
Let peace become no oasis and later on flop

No fights over
Some of the friends don’t want any fight
They openly admit and say they are for their rights
May be they are right in their own way
They will find and adjust their way
I was bluntly asked “are there some in your circle of friends? ”
“I respect gay people and their rights” I admitted at the end
Some of them are very descent and openly admit
I some how dislike the admission but not oppose it
My friend reminded me of my being open to all
Why then all of sudden hatred and reversal of call?
She stood for respect regardless of sex
But of course the question was complicated and wax
Any how such talks created irritation
Sexual abuse on their part was out of question
I was doing right thing and getting them away
I preferred to maintain silence and encouraged no more say
Knowingly or unintentionally hey may approach on line
Express desire to have good relation and find it fine
I had no way out but to express regret and leave
It was nothing new but difficult to believe
‘How would you react if you find groom in bride?
I almost ran with anger and could not hide
I soon became protective and defensive
Their remark and utterances were nearly offensive
My female friend was quick to pick up and challenge
How quickly she countered my arguments and managed
She had almost earthed me in her first meeting
I was so much thrilled and could not offer any greetings
She came on me like hurricane would
I offered in best as much as I could
She had her straight forward way
I had nothing to offer but in simple way
She told me not to believer in pessimism
There is other side also known as optimism
One should look forward and build opinion
Ay relation can end in tragedy or happy union
Now I was loosing ground and felt amused
Someone blinded me and I stood as refused
I had to retrace the stand and ask for pardon
Even though I had strong reservation but had to abandon
I decided to offer it poetically,
Things were turning dramatically
It was their legitimate right to practice
I had no business for them to entice
I decided to shut all the doors
No one should impose or force
It may be hard way for them to live
I have to adjust and try to believe

A poetic thoughts
“Hi, how do the poetic thoughts emerge in mind”?
I was unable to react and reply to the question of its kind
I had to struggle hard for the answer to find
I just kept cool and struggled in mind
I pleaded her for putting good thoughts across
You must have enough of trust in cross
It is not brilliance of an individual
You get it with blessings very casual
it got to be translated into words immediately
It may have no use if done very lately
Its real impact and feelings may go away
You may not have any means to recollect or find the way
It can be great moment of joy for self and family
It has not been forced on you heavily
The family and friends definitely strengthen the line
You exceedingly perform well and feel very fine
There is no dearth of good thoughts all over
It has good backing and natural cover
To translate and add color to it is not that difficult
Such quality is inherent and inbuilt
You can nicely compose if you determine one day
You may certainly find the resolve and clear way
There is every possibility of surging ahead
You may one day excel and definitely lead
You should have natural instinct to pick up leads
Try to put in fine composition with interwoven words
It may result in fine creation of poetry
you may have then full satisfaction with remarkable entry
You can try to translate feelings into action
It must have fine combination with good reaction
It may give then good sense of satisfaction
This is poetry skill and very good indication
