For Poems
Three reads for every one poem written
As if food for body is regularly taken
How ocean has rare species in its belt
Same way the presence of each poet is felt
If we can appreciate and read
They are the futures and to lead
With all their fancy and innovative views
We need to pay attention and dues
We got to swim if we are in
This is logic and trend has been
If we don’t read theirs
They want prove to us as their heirs
It is encouragement and positive drive
As it is must for them to survive
If we fail to recognize their talent
What is use to remain idle or to reserve the comment
Time and tide may come and go
Some of things we have to forgo
We may not have time for death
How can we expect for other people to come and lay the wreath
It will be nice if we remain loosely connected
Within nice ambit and convincingly pre-acted
They may come up with double of efforts
As people of board may cheer while reaching at ports
You m ay never find bank or shore
You got to think and positively explore
We have no time in this fast moving world
But hardly can we afford to remain complacent or cold

Prize For Comments
I wish here a good prize for comments
It may then be called nice movement
Rare phenomena to encourage new poets
Who otherwise remain in oblivion and prefer to be quiet
We can force no one to read
Yet can provide clue to lead
A momentum to make thrust
For developing skill and trust
Generally I see prominent people find the place
Rest all are seemed to be left out of race
Only few people adore the quarter
Rest all are awaiting break for their starter
Poems do emerge in human mind
As it is divine place to rest and find
What can be beneficial to intelligent people?
As rest even may not understand after making great struggle
I wish and plead for something to prove concrete
Let for one post at least two new comers are greeted
With the deserving comment if that is due
If not by readers then editors must view
With this noble ideas the base may be expanded
The courtesy and honor must be extended
We may have lot many hidden jewels
Those may find light and certainly excel
Just a wish and nothing in person
Yet that must be taken positively with reasons
We may surely fuel the new energy on horizon
Where old and new may combined from all zones
It may not take place in days ahead
But my humble views may certainly be read
Any attempt at revival may afterward then be certainly dead
If we fail to gasp the mood and provide the lead

Efforts Still
One, two and three
You will never be free
Go on counting and accumulate
Nothing more will remain to relate
Life may end fast
No time for you to choose and last
Rests of all will lye here for some one
No one shall care for your dead body even
It may be taken fast out
So many things will be left to talk about
Personal memory may remain in people's mind
Soon to test its worth from praise to find
No one may say bad words about departed person
But many may remember his noble work with reasons
His ashes may carry no value for world
But to some yes it may be warm feelings and not cold
Look at worthiness of human life
Even though it is sharp like knife
Not all may earn good will
Yet you got to make efforts still

Will The Poem Written Today/ Read Well Tomorrow?
WILL THE POEM WRITTEN TODAY/ READ WELL TOMORROW?
Will the poem written today
Read well tomorrow?
Will what seems so right now
Last beyond the time of its being said?
Or am I a poet of the present moment only
Who in the saying believes in what is said
And who fails in the long – term reflection?
What will remain of all my ‘presents’
And all those times of writing
And feeling it is true?
Years from now
Long after I will be able to read any poem
Will these lines mean anything
To anyone?

A deer at heart
At heart you were deer
liked by all and to be addressed as dear
preferred nice words to hear
without any stab to fear
Lions do not roar
still there is uproar
he has wild land to rule
In nice king's role
A lion does not share
he never looks around and stare
still everyone praises his role as fair
there is charm and thickness in air
No one tries look so elegant
it comes automatically or instant
people may know by actions or words
As there are blessings from the lords
It is nice to dream a reality
noble and standard is the quality
it drives powerfully among herds
the beautiful music will be made by birds
it is fantasy but not stupidity to remain near nature
that accords permanent refuge for future
we sail against winds and reach the shore
still remain ordinary and ask no more
I shall remain as earthly as possible
though with strong mind but body as feeble
Still I shall look upon as victorious man
As I have acted only human

Powerless
Powerless
I am powerless without your presence
Don’t leave me and go even at once
You have come to my by hard efforts
I have feeling of joy when ships anchor at ports
You always gently swung the pendulum
Person comes in the form and can’t remain mum
Your presence is seen and observed
You remain only with those who deserved
I realized no importance when you were here
I became powerless when you went somewhere
I felt as if whole energy is taken away
I have been made beggar and brought on the way
I pull the month with great difficulty
I feel shame on self and feel pity
You are great source of strength and power
You are staying with luckiest one and fewer
I request you to come back and stay
Promise me not to go any time away
I land in problems when you leave
I become cheerful when you say and nicely behave
My whole budget goes up side down
I have to bear burnt and so many losses to own
I can’t go alone without your hand
All people turn against me as foes from friends
I will love you so much and pray
You only help and find a way
Never leave me even if I commit mistake
I shall not sleep and remain awake

Co- Existence
Yes, you’re certainly true
That when you write
I am here to read it through
And really convinced
By what you’ve said
You didn’t demand
Comments or views
‘Cause I can hardly find
Any one or two
I don’t expect
Anything from you
I can live happily
Even if you wouldn’t read mine
But when the time permits
And the season for you is fine
You can explore my page
So that you may read and find
That I created a poem
Just for you poetic man

Crazy Jane On God
That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Banners choke the sky;
Men-at-arms tread;
Armoured horses neigh
In the narrow pass:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
I had wild jack for a lover;
Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Uninhabited, ruinous,
Suddenly lit up
From door to top:
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
Oh, that lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.
All things remain in god.

A short of sight
Short of sight
Always dark and no light
No love but only hatred
To dooms day it may lead
What it may prove?
Fears it may not remove
Aggravate the relation but may not improve
You may always remain adamant and not move
You may be equated with fools
You will be made mere as tools
You may be used as scape goat
You will be made laughing stock for bad quotes
It is nice to act as fool sometimes
It may help to tide over bad times
People may take as sign of their victory
They may not store it as grudge in their memory
It has something to do with your brilliance
It shows how strong you are with mind’s presence
It is asset for any individual to excel
You can have easy way to remain and tell

Where Do I Find You!
Where do I not find you?
How could I say no and prove?
Sometimes I am carried away by non belief
But it makes me restless and gives no relief
I would want to know what driving force is
What is its ultimate goal and course?
Why are we on this earth?
When danger always hangs in the form of death
What makes us more irresistible to faith?
Why so much respect is how while laying the wreath?
Does our soul command and make us think what we are?
Remain within ambit and not go very far
Well, no one may find answer
Only noble souls and may be by fewer
We needn’t harp on unnecessary issues
It must have systematic analysis backed by perfect views
Each particles is having life and movement
Where do we find reason to comment?
Each particle speaks of his presence
We got believe and obey hence
Everything is weighted pro and cons
We have divided in beliefs, regions and zones
Where do you want him reside permanently?
In human beings or animals instantly
Keep the doors open for some love
Behave nicely and embrace to whomever you want to prove
You are gifted with life so make it worthwhile
It costs nothing if you remain happy and offer smile
World would take no notice
If you suddenly meet with demise
The fragrance left behind may always provide good memory
So do nothing that makes others to feel bad and sorry
We are nothing and so is the existence uncertain
Know that your are here to ascertain
Make sure all that you have is of worthless nature
There is no permanent stake in near future

Good To Feel
It is always good to feel nice
Over full of nice food stuffs with rice
It gives good smell when nicely arranged
Now only good test to be observed and managed
These are all external feelings
When it comes to real happening!
It turns out to be unpleasant
When it seems not ideal and important
There are many ways to feel happy
Only positive mind can speak it without worry
One needs to remain in cheerful mood
As it is not always the question of good food
Food can provide good nourishment
Body can be kept in fit condition with nice movements
But what about inner conscience and its concern
It can’t be kept quiet with possible wait of turn
You can go tough with the situation
You can be very rough when time comes for evaluation
You have to be committed with certain aspects
As that may only guarantee you some respect
It is said one need not worry about whole world
At any time they may show you wall and turn cold
At such time you can come out well and act as very bold
You respond to soul and see it is not bartered or sold
The key lies with us with all the options
We must be capable of its retention
Nothing can be snatched if you are firm
Only you must stick to belief and confirm

A ticking away
Tick, tick, tick
Relentless pick
Not sounding nice
But signal for wise
I rush for schedule
Body has no more fuel
I think time is running out
The life is all about
I fall on the ground
No one has time to look around
I cry for help from some strangers
It is really a fear with danger
Well, I can’t leave worldly affairs
I know it is not fair
I would not like to admit sheer lies
Though it is far from real cries
I have no time to continue
I can look back and view
What I did for others in past?
The time has moved very fast
Time and tide waits for none
Both have to be utilized by some one
If one misses it then definitely some trouble
Uncertain life may be over like water bubble
I still want to give a fair trial
There is no use to offer denial
We lacked in past and missed present
We almost remained lukewarm and absent
How can that be recovered again?
The guns can never be trained
It has to be desperate try for recovery
No plus minus in it with any summary
It is said move with the times and go ahead
It is dictum and golden saying in trade
If we are confined and very much afraid
We will be lost on the way and get laid
No one waits for anybody
It is frantic try and push by everybody
Neither there is use of giving the way
Nor it is advisable to stay away
You got to be aligned with people
Whether you are down with health or unable
You have to work it out till the last breath
The journey has to end only with death
Many people get weary with current trend
They are afraid of loosing the life end
That is certain and bound to come
You should not get desperate but welcome
Who can save us from the clutches of death?
We will limit ourselves to only laying of wreath
We believe in philosophy of work and faith
So to work in time and till the last breath
I looked again at the fast moving arm
I was down with fatigue with no charm
It was futile bid to remain in race
I was loosing the race in any case
We all run after oasis water
It may end in night mare and not cater
What we dreamed of future may prove hollow
That is why certain norms we have to follow

Nice to worry
It is always nice to worry
As life can not ended in hurry
It will have its own time to click
Whether you are alright or sick
Life is considered as mystery
Useless things to carry
Remain sad or make it merry
Problems may always be there to vary
We have no time to pray God
As we are burdened with the load
Why can’t we read between lines?
As world from other side is seen very fine
The worries may never go off
We have so much tension and enough
It is routine and can not lead us to be upset
We must tackle calmly and then forget
Sometimes you are seized with no worry
Then also you are worried and feel sorry
Life seems so hollow and unworthy
You feel dejected and seek sympathy]
It is human nature to dream for more
Always wants to win over others and score
Such unhealthy thoughts push you to the extreme
The shot sure battle is lost and making chance very grim
It will never end till your death
You may worry about how others will be laying wreath
It is none of your concern how people will react after
If you disclose such things then they will roar into laughter

A self confidence
One need not destroy self confidence
There may occur many incidences
You can remain true to your own conscience
You must react positively at once
People may try to influence by their sweet words
You must aim for higher and always look forward
You will be carried away by floods and swept
If you remain negligent and inapt
Many a times occasion may rise
You must act honest but look very wiser
If you are forced to take decision
That should be perfect and with precision
A person can be cheated once in life time
He may draw an appropriate lesson and act for time to come
The learning stage is over and it is now time to put in practice
You may be caught unaware if do not take notice
I have come across many friends who used to cry after failure
They had enough time and opportunity to prepare
It was left to delay and misguided by different advices
This all led to crisis and had to withdraw from promise
If promises were given then it must be honored
It must be adhered to with all options explored
Still if it is not feasible to implement or accede to
There must prevail some kind of willingness to concede
You need not act as philosopher to guide the people
They are ably assisted and probably very much capable
But still at some point of given time they are carried away
The opportunity which was on hand is slipped and given way
You do whatever you feel like to do
But take care to see that some part of it is near to truth
You will have some room left to explain your conduct
You can come out of it easily and assertively instruct
It is easy to cheat others convincingly
People may accept it also willingly
You may have no liability to admit on your part
Still that may drive you to feel apart
You may also present comfortably to world
Still it will hurt you from within and develop cold
It may not allow you peace of mind
You will not be able to have peace or find
Never kill a conscience even if lot of interest is at stake
It may make you restless and keep you all the time awake
You may loose all the peaceful environment and driven to discomfort
The ship may run aground even after reaching to safe port

A bright tomorrow
I don’t know how to work for better tomorrow
What are the rules that I have to follow?
How the thing to be allowed and grow?
No disturbances in life still nicely to flow
Mind doesn’t work in that direction
I wish to take no hasty action
Life seems full of uncertainties
One has to remain contended with varieties
It is always fine to move with great speed
You must remain healthy with good food and feed
Honest approach without any greed
Certainly to grow a fine plant from quality seed
No one is sure of what is in store
There should be no let up in efforts to explore
Even in difficulties try to salvage and land at shore
Think of another stage and try to act before
Result may not be fruitful or sign of encouragement
Life should be made full of movements
Ready to strike at any given time or moment
To accept the fate smilingly without offering any comment
I may not yield to pressure and allow the things to worsen
The difficulties may come on the way unforeseen
I may wish to cry by hiding the face under pillow
I shall be prepared for worst situation and bitter pills to swallow
Sun was blazing all the way
Striking heat waves with direct rays
Forcing people to find shelter on the way
but not letting any opportunity to pass or giving away
Have you learned about people who work under the sun?
They work continuously but don’t ask for anything or run
it is difficult o stand under direct waves at afternoon
They think it may pass off very soon
I had learnt about one farm laborer,
He looked to me as torch bearer
Sun was on top but he was sweating and singing
He has all the joy while digging;
I dared not to ask him “Will you eat some food? ”
It is nicely prepared, fresh and good,
”No dear sir” I am very sorry,
I earn sufficient and food is no worry,
I am able to make it today and so no need to accept or borrow
Today you are there but who will offer me tomorrow?
The reply saddened me for the moment and sent shock wave
what an answer or gesture? I really felt shame and couldn’t believe
Who can be considered as an ideal philosopher?
The person who has no knowledge of others
Or who consider themselves as great personality?
We can think positively about the fine blend and quality

Prove its worth
How person comes to be known?
Is it because of enormous wealth owned?
Nothing matters more if it is not sheer ability
Even thought you are weak and not mighty
As personal identity the perseverance is essential
There is clear evidence and weight is substantial
Initially some set backs possible but not always
It may in long run definitely pay
Life is for dreamers to prove its worth
It may not discourage with slight doubt of death
Life as such has to be lived up to full length
Perseverance of some thoughts may prove solid strength
No one is sure of life’s span
It can’t have set thinking or solid plan
Life can be taken as uncertainty and surged ahead
Some of the happenings can well be understood and read
If you survive the trend and heavy blows
The river can be controlled for its flow
The river bank may have little damage
But won’t be out of control to manage
The world is respecting only successful person
Whatever may be cause or any reason?
No one may follow you until you have ability
They may find the end result with fine quality
I knew and still concede the point
It is proper and wise hint
One must follow the safe route in convinced manner
The success may be had sooner or later
It is not easy to give sample advice
As life is not set on mechanical device
Some of the experience is gained through smooth passage
Some might have grabbed it in time with positive message
Let there remain mystery about life and its surroundings
Some of the bad consequences are always binding
People may not reject outright as it is nearly expected
It will change scenario only when fully understood and acted

It is you
it is not going to stop
you are always on top
in mind and at heart
looking damn handsome and smart
it had slowly start
i liked and felt like part
it is not going to end
we shall remain as friend
I continue to think and wonder
I understand and here line under
How more to convey and reveal?
It is from depth of heart to feel
I don't know how much we may last?
Life is moving on very fast
We are certainly going to make it success
There won't be any break up or pause
Though I am not supposed to fall
It was earnest and sincere call
It was attachment to be felt within
It was at first sight win
I wish it to happen again and again
My eyes just probe and train
All hopes lie on your single yes
Do it if you want shining on face
Nothing to speak but reflect on move
Love may speak silently and prove
What may speak from here stands to grow
It may reflect and clearly show
It is specially driven and understood
Implications and necessity as food
Is it not the friendship coming on fore
That was feeling not known before
I may err in reading the call
It may prove as very high wall
I may try to scale and be on top
There is no chance to come to stop
You may help me to overcome
That will be nice and welcome
I shall stay safe and secured
The place is very much assured
We got to move forward and claim
There is still full love in game
We got to make it reality
That shows our clear ability
We may sail and move to shore
We have still lot more ground to explore
We may appreciate each other and adore
It needs still more and more
We are no exception but a figure
It may may happen with all for sure
It is first and foremost necessity
It is to be enjoyed in simplicity
It is nice to observe decency
It may have lot of frequency
We may met often and observe
Still do not loose the sight and serve
You may go the to extreme end
We may still remain as very good friend
It is customary to be united in life and stay
We got to remain in circle and pave the way

You are
You are flexible and need no season
Change in minute without any reason
What a versatile woman or person you are?
Leaving me behind and staying very far
You expect response after sweet fight
Prove always when go wrong or right
How to find passage or way with light?
Still I prefer you not to go out of sight
You have lamented number of times
Vehemently opposed for no fault of mines
I may prefer to keep silence and forgo it at once
If you really welcome and change your stance
You were always there at my call
Shielded me with care from possible fall
Why not you change your different attitude?
You may witness sudden fall from altitude
I have nothing to offer but an advice
Simple solution but not as mechanical device
You may accept or reject it with reservation
It was just a tip or very honest observation
Heavy rainfall may strike with force at stone
Can’t uproot from earth or make it airborne
After all stones are stones without any heart
They may not change even with movement smart
Well one needs to change or positively adopt
Hard core stances put aside for a while and drop
Realistic views without any change or flip flop
Careful Balancing act while driving on slope
You can still remain same without being adamant
I may still appreciate and seek or want
After all it is not game but life at stake
Should remain alert and always awake
Well, life may not be dull but beautiful and nice
As our dish may not be complete without rice
Many cooks may spoil the delicious food
You may still prove and take me out of wood

A life is.....
Life is very easy
Only you remain busy
Don't take it to heart
You stay alive and smart
Not all the days may remain same
You will earn good name and fame
You just take it as bad phase
It will help bad memory to erase
Do take all possible care
Go and see every where
Don't challenge the people to dare
It is not good or fare
Life is full of surprises
It may remain still your demises
What does it comprise?
It has got no prizes
You may feel bad
Some times very sad
You got to live and lead
This message you must read
There may not be any takers
You will be met by fraudsters and fakers
Still you got to know it better
It is full fledged subject matter
They may be very nice and look at you
You should realize and think it true
It may be kind gesture and not be cruel joke
I should think bad and deliver the stroke
There is nothing more to complain
It may prove unproductive and go into vain
You should stick to your point and prove
Try to assert and simply move
You may change the way
Still you got to pay
Hard effort may show you bright ray
You may rally have definite say
You tried to be accommodative
It was very positive and indicative
Not all may be your kith and kin
You should make place and win
There came hard summer
I wanted to say something and murmur
I had bade just now the winter
It was severe and very bitter
I may be a changed lot
I have unnecessarily fought
I always longed for good support
I had eagerly waited for it and sought
I need not waste my energy and wait
This is not something like bad luck or fate
Everything takes its own time and not very late
Love it heartily and don’t show displeasure or hate

To All Those Whose Poems I Have Not Read
TO ALL THOSE WHOSE POEMS I HAVE NOT READ
To all those whose poems I have not read
Who have said a kind word about mine-
I apologize
I simply am too selfish
And do not want to give the time-
I too do not want to lie
What if I do not like your poem?
And also I do not want to recognize
So many ‘equals' when I am after all to myself ‘the poet'-
An apology is of course not a real answer
Perhaps I will try to do better in the future-
But I do feel badly about this-
Please go on without me
There is a big world out there
And many listeners who hopefully
Will give time and attention to your poem
As I have regrettably not.
