Mind fluctuates
“Old habits die hard” as saying goes
But what human mind thinks and does
It tries to rise but fall back with little fear
People may speak and it has to bear
Never get discouraged
As in past you have tactfully managed
If not fully transformed
But you have acted and remained well informed
We are not slave of the habits
That is on negative side and considered s debit
We are supposed to come out
End to it with complete rout
Nothing can run for longer period on set lines
You have to create by lane or sidelines
So incase you need escape route
You can walk slowly on one foot
Time may compel you to shed the differences
You may have to draw the correct inferences
There might arise many instances
Where you will have to clear your stances
Person is adapted to set norms
He may find it smooth until warned
If something goes wrong
He needs to amend and remain among
Nothing can protect you from established practice
That may be easily understood and noticed
You may be cheated on various occasions
That may compel you to address the questions
It is neither your strength
Nor a set wave length
You need to fluctuate and respond
As it may then properly correspond
It is nature’s law to expose to change
Even seasons respond with and manage
We as human being need to adjust
That is demand and of course must

New year tomorrow
I may be ushered in new era tomorrow
I shall double up the efforts to end sorrows
Will make it sure that there is no reoccurrences
I shall declare the resolve in everybody’s presence
I have suffered a lot at the cruel hands of fate
I confined to a corner and acted very late
The luck deceived me and I was pushed away
I searched for new route but found no way
It is better late than never
The problems may remain for ever
Life may continue to play hide and seek
We shall remain firm and not feeble or weak
I have learned a lot form past mistakes
It was act in haste and so much was at stake
It might have not struck at desired level
There was enough chance to succeed and excel
It has been made amply clear and understood
Nothing can be left behind for any good
Every opportunity is to be grabbed and explored
Complete reversal of past mistakes and no stone to remain unturned
I am reformed person now
With full of confidence and fully know how?
To tackle the ticklish issues with full command
And to meet it with authority and demand
I shall have no more room to complain
It has to performed in all the seasons even if in rain
As the time may not afford any chance in near future
I will have to ascertain and make it very sure
Time is most opportune time to adjust
We can take refuge under pretext and it is must
You can recoup and fight form the better result
The confidence is regained as strength is inbuilt

Old Habits Die Hard
(criston barker, david moyse)
Seems like yesterday my life had begun
As we went through life
Tryin to make it so much fun
And I know that Im still in love with you
Cause youre one bad habit that I cant refuse
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Lifes been strange to me since youve been gone
And its so hard tryin; to say that I was wrong
Now I know that Im still in love with you
Cause youre the one bad habit that I cant refuse
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
You know and I know that you cant live on memories alone
Theres just one memory that Im thinking of
Just one habit that I cant shake off, its you
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
And theres just one memory Im thinking of
Just one habit that I cant shake off, its you
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard

Fool yesterday
I afforded to be fool yesterday
But tried to be wise and clever today
With the fear that some one should not call me fool
As I was very lazy and all the time remained cool
It is nature’s habit not to respond in hostile manner
The things need smooth handling and not fastened with spanner
If it is tightened with full strength and left with no scope
There is every chance hat it may fail or flop
We learn gradually from the past mistakes
It is grasped with little of intakes
Not everything is learnt over night
It takes time to prove wrong or right
We all know time is changing very fast
The chances are that it may threaten to last
We may have nothing on hand to defend
There will be little less to improve or amend
Old proverbs are of great importance
They are not written like that at once
It has stood the test of past successfully
They stand every word correct and truthfully
When there prevails uncertainty with calm
You should remains steadfast and firm
This will take you to the desired destination
Your ability to tackle it will never be put to question

A good or bad
We may have similar nature of different kind
The situation too would be hostile and unkind
We may have upper hand in terms of knowledge
Still we will be singled out even with clear edge
It is difficult to adjust with the situation
It may trouble us for its continuation
As they enter our life as reality
It may upset us and question our ability
We may not be able to confirm
We may not be able to confront either
Everything may look not to our test
Still we got to adjust and think as best
It may not go well with our belief
It may not give us at all any relief
Still it may be relation with new leaf
We got to forgo so many things and act as deaf
It may not compel us to do anything
But still we may miss in us as something
It shall not go as per our thinking
We may watch it helplessly with eyes only blinking
The problem may still persist
People may force on us and insist
We may not be in position to tell them to desist
They may pursue it vigorously and resist
This may cause some infuriation in mind
We may think over it nut unable to find
Any way out but fall in lines
It may hold good to watch on side lines
We may think it wrong and absurd
You may still want not to be of guard
You may try to go ahead with your own way
It is feared you may be pushed and driven away

All the chances
You have all the chances for success
You may have opportunity for its access
You may not face crest fallen situation
You have strong nerve and clear intuition
There lie enough reasons for outcome
The success story may find the welcome
Whom do you go for and credit it with?
Will you laugh it out by showing all the teeth?
It requires tremendous courage and strength
You must be prepared to go to any length
It is secrecy of your plans that led to stunning victory
It saved you from insult and further sorry
You do anything and everything you like
you can raise your voice with blaring mike
Create artificial scarcity and compel the price hike
nothing can stop you from riding on bike
Success is not the one man’s pride moment
You can’t make it as your sole achievement
there is someone else to share it with you
Your partner has equal share and it is true
You have every right to play the life as game
You may earn good fame and name
Success and failure should be treated as same
It should not be matter of contention where from it came
We are human beings and treat it differently
We swallow the success silently
We would never like to share it with anybody
Your concern is appreciated but may not be liked by many
There should be no differentiation between man and woman
It is platform that is shared between two as common
It may be sheer coincidence that credit goes to male
There is no compulsion on male to pass it on to female
Life simply moves on with all good changes
Both the partners pull it on and manage
There is no tussle for sharing the honor
It is considered as nothing but common
We have full proof system that looks so sound
You may witness it in all the rounds
Complete joy and harmony is always found
You will have to adjust as you are loosely bound
You may heave a sigh of relief
It is your observation and strong belief
You may not like to loose the sight
Whether you may be proved wrong or right
It will go on and not change a slight
May be there at the end a light?
All goodness seemed to be in sight
will not appeal me as path right
There is always window or room to improve
You have enough time to excel and prove
You will have to remain there in the game
Though the situation might have not remained same

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

Just A Slave
Just a slave and hooked with addictions.
And chased with a wish to escape,
From those habits fed.
Those habits inside a head...
Independent in thought.
But dependent instead.
Just a slave and hooked,
To all that is that has been known.
To all that has been shown and is...
Makes the escape,
Seem an impossibility to free from needs.
And those beliefs fed to feed one fleeing.
Just a slave and hooked with addictions.
And chased with a wish to escape,
From those habits fed.
Those habits inside a head...
Independent in thought.
But dependent instead on what one's mind,
Has been taught to seek.
And branded to lust for those temptations.

Idle Corner
it is not a crazy or idle corner
You should constantly think and not bother
You are simple human being
Must cry when feel like and when delighted, sing
This is how life goes on
What we lost apparently is actually won
You may take it as sheer luck
But actually you are no where struck
Time and again you go on proving
This is how you adjust and improving
It is your strength and courage
Without being confused, you should manage
No tears should be shed over split milk
You will not have cotton if you run after silk
Contentment is best satisfaction and recognized policy
One should remain within it and feel happy
Well, all are self oriented and confined
Their role can never be defined
God only knows what with and when turn against?
The sudden thought may compel him to consider it as best
Only a handful of people may struggle over nobility
At the end it may not prove of any of or ability
Even after so much wrangling if there remains confusion
The foolish idea must be brushed aside and ruled out of question

Black Heart
I claim to be an honest man
May be the same cases with women
After all we claim to be human beings
Pawn in life game and working in circus rings
Is it our own creation to be zealous?
Is it an urge within to become famous?
By claming notoriety or noble deeds
Or simply creating unstoppable greed
How many excuses we exchange while sitting in corner?
Sleepless nights passed merely to console the sinner soul
How weakly we justify our wrong approach by arguments?
Not a single second we have to spare for it and resent
May be heart has changed the color in process
It might have guessed the true color with access
I fully concur with the fine assessment arrived
How long we may go on with mind so connived?
I have no answer but heart beats to respond
Synchronize the action and skillfully correspond
If I come out of it liberally it shall be great achievement
There may be nothing more to do at that moment
We are dragged in to mix up with eye wash theory
We shake the inner strength and memory
If that has come over with assertive voice
The heart will be at rest without any choice
We breathe in peaceful harmony for no fear of curse
As it has positively responded with no more remorse
This is how human mind works with changed heart
Everything is put at rest and made a good start
If person tries to forget past with all misdeeds
He will have no reason to worry or have any need
It is human nature to react positively with conscience
It is fearful of nature’s wrath in case felt with essence
Not bad at all to have black heart
But to change when shown as skilful art
“Better late than never” in responding to real time
We are, therefore, forgiven with black heart sometimes

Silent March
Love has always ruled human mind
Acted over long horizon very kind
It has provided very hard core
Only strong resolve needed to explore
We have inherited it from seasons
No one troubles anybody without reasons
If you go against nature then you are inviting the wrath
Devastation all over that is including death
To change it is to welcome and dominates the scene
Such attitude has fascinated us and always seen
After all love has been at the central core
Even poorest of poor go for it and adore
It is been seen at every level but with difference
We draw the lesson with different inference
Even animals provide clue as how to tackle life
In crisis we should remain calm and avoid use of knife
Love wins love and hate inflames hate
In no case, hate can reign supreme or relate
It has no edge over love in showing passion
Eyes speak when question of showing compassion arises
No religion has advocated preaching of violence
We should avoid any such occasion hence
Not that world can be won over with complete annihilation
Still void may not be filled and remain burning question
Why world peace has remained still a distant dream?
Why is it that we don’t even reach or it seems?
There remains some distrust and enough of confidence
We need to explore and give love with peace a chance
We have shed enough of blood on name of land and religion
Still it has remained illusion to build stable region
We are unable to worship almighty without fear
Lot more agony, misery, pain and hardship to face and bear
Let us not carry any sign of religion but bear a love torch light
Strong resolve at heart with olive branch and silent march to fight

Of Moral Standards
Let people talk high and of moral standards
They are like cowards and very weak form inward
They can cheat and at the same time enjoy the position
It is very easy for them to switch over from one to another transition
When it comes to praise the woman
All are same in case you talk about man
They may think at first from sex point of view
Then attempt seriously as if it is warranted and due
That does not confine to one beautiful lady
They may always want some change in look and body
Their mind may roam all over for easy pry
They go in for hunt and desperately try
Animals go for such greed but restrict to their main partner
They no very well that she has to surrender sooner or later
The grip will be tightened and lust is compensated
But in case of human being it is well thought over and equated
Only beautiful body may attract their attention
In friend circles too it may find vulgar mention
Every organ is discussed at full length as if newly discovered
The sarcastically comments and overtures are simply murmured
We live in and prefer dual role
Easily loose balance and respond to beautiful call
Have whatever is easily within grip and enjoy
As aim has been restricted to take control with joy
Publicly we never allow our minds to be read
We are over cautious and morally completely dead
How we create public perception is the only concern?
We know nothing that what will be fate when it takes ugly turn?
It is not the game of nature to change
Some of the things may come naturally with age
We can’t completely change as per the seasons
Nature has some cycles but we have no such reasons
If any one admits it of being outspoken
It may be taken as good gesture or of some token
No may admit lapses in open platform
But it is good if done so before being warned

A no to intrusion
Some one intruded in God’s domain
To watch the beautiful dancers with wish to remain
Lost in dreams and position became known
Noticed by the sentries and presented to chief main
He pleaded guilty but to be spared at once
No dancers were to be shown not even their glance
They tied him and ordered to be thrown form heaven
he remained struck in the air with head up and legs down
Such was disgraced order form God to man
It is punishment and u got to bear as much as you can
He came to be known as “TRI SHANKU” or triangle
Neither on earth, air or in heaven with angel
It is very interesting and depicts the uncertainty
Person looses his place and doesn’t have continuity
Neither he will be welcome at home nor in city
One can only feel sorry and some degree of pity
”TRISHANKU” is word to be used for unclear position
Person is hanging in between with no composition
His position is stated as hanging in between
his head is shown down and legs toward heaven
He is supposed to be seen in dilemma
He has no status and lives in trauma
He may be thinking what to do now as next
Nothing can be stated or considered as best
He is considered as failure for his misadventure
He has complete darkness and no future
He has been cursed by divine power to hang in middle
He can’t show his face in public or meddle
Try not to be mid air and have clear say
Right path and direction with open way
No to gimmick and no more games to play
Assert with confidence as have your sway
You can’t have two minds with no clear decision
Ideas and plans will have to be with precision
You will loose respect along with stature
Cheques will have no value without small signature
Try to create position with point of strength
You may have choice to go at any length
It is you who will alter or decide course
Success may be at your feet with simple authority of course
Why to think of heaven when it is here?
Why you search not here and some where?
You may be hanged ups n down with disgrace
You may have then no courage to show your face
Try not to violate somebody’s privacy?
It is not only bad but wrong diplomacy
You must confine to good practice
You may find it not only good but nice

Sad days
I remember those sad days
Life with lots of problems on the way
No cheers but question of life and death
Fight for square meals a day and unable to breath
Mother used to put me at her back
As everything was at stake
Life for child remained a source of concern
The future was to be changed in turn
I remember her working at farm
Soil to dig when sun wan not warm
Work to start when breeze still on surface
No worry lines to appear on the face
She was not only bold but assertive too
Life was meant to be challenge and felt as true
Work hard or get nothing in return
Energy in body to be burnt in turn
Tears have no place to fall on the ground
It is lovely, beautiful and laborious round
“I won’t die my lovely child” she may murmur
Make me laugh and tease with humor
How can be life harder than this?
If some one doesn’t get it then it is surely a miss
We don’t die or perish as a result of hard labor
The ship has to be taken at the berth of harbor
God only knows how many years it may take?
But surely it will be long drawn yeas to make
Life then will be put on right track
You may look back a past with no feelings of an ache
I don’t know where from that urge comes
To fight the situation and smilingly welcome
Not to get discouraged if means are meager
Slowly it builds and makes man perfect and stronger
Leave not behind any such regret
You were not meant to suffer such fate
If one has time on his or her side
There is no need to lament or search for guide
Hard work has no parallel
One has to try hard and excel
If nothing goes in favor or well
Try not to reveal it to others or tell
It may not remain for uncertain days
By the time you may sure find the ways
You may attain position to make the sway
See nothing is left out or given away
No doubt life can’t be equal for all
One has to quickly adjust and respond to call
If something is missing or not available
It must be got with whatever situation favorable
You can’t sit and think idle
Must think to come out from troubles
If that is done successfully
Life will be enjoyed fully

No reason to feel sad
I have no reason to feel sad and look gloomy
Even though the day is dark and cloudy
It may rain any time to bring some respite
The night may look an the absence of light
The nature has interlinked with our nature too
We too grow energetic and turn pale when go through
All seasons affect our thinking with climatic change
Our fate too with some hopes remain in balance and hang
Though the natural disasters create panic and fear
It brings havoc and turmoil for us to heavily bear
It may leave us in state of great shock with lots of tears
We have no where to go and tell someone to hear
It is good to be associated with climatic condition
It may inspire us to drive with powerful ignition
It is time for us to rise and match the event
It will be made memorable with resolute movement
Even though they are inseparable part
We adjust accordingly from the very start
We plan it in such way that it looks natural
There is no clash or apparently any quarrel
We may fear from nature but do not adopt exactly
Even though it may be in our disfavor heavily
Dark clouds do not inspire us to hold pessimistic views
At the same time we will not go mild with morning dews
As the sun opens its arm to spread over vast area
The land may claim it as its right and make strong plea
We do not leave it to heavenly bodies to decide
We may plan it forcefully to go over very wide
The weather has limited role to play
It may have time bound sway
Everybody may try to extract maximum
No one likes to share at the level of minimum
Even trees shed their difference to wear new out look
How pages look when they are compiled in nice book?
The trees may have new branches along with green leaves
This will definitely inspire and lead you to believe
Our heart can bear greenery all the time to come
As nature encourages non living organs to welcome
We human being empower to adapt certain new things
It will be liked by all and be appreciative of something
Even blind may notice change through ears
Same wind and change has taken place for years
It is human mind to feel and changes to make
Complete surrender to nature means nothing at stake

A time pass
Time may silently pass and very easily
Still we may not feel wearily
We may spend it merrily
The rain may dash ground with showers
The garden may soon boom with flowers
We may have all the answers
This is complete cycle
There is change in circle
We brace up for it and are capable
It still looks fresh and new
Every season we may compare and review
All may remember it but missed by few
The ground may remain same
For seasons change we can't blame
It may bring happiness and fame
Love to like all the seasons
You know it and have enough reasons
It may vary from person to persons
Have we adapted for any future change?
How far we can adjust with any range?
Does it not look absurd and strange?
We are non committal in all the fields
Though it may be helping with more yields
We always go for protection and shield
Seasons do their work on simple basis
There is no particular reason or thesis
It is complete cycles which always persists
Adoption of change is good sign
One must understand and silently resign
It is not meant to suit any particular design
We are not meant here to alter the course
It is designed to have some change of course
You accept it as it is without any remorse
Change may not come appointed hours
Though it may be set during the years
We have to see it through eyes and hear through ears

The natural course
I never felt dissatisfied and lamented
The natural course and behavior always appreciated
Never condemned bad and gave so much importance to good
As both were to be balanced and properly understood
One can not be equated with another
As one leads to joy and another leads to bother
Both carry significance in life and stay together
For one thing we shy off and for another carry a feather
People or for that matter everybody prays a rising sun
They go after it and sometimes make lots of fun
Lot many words are said in praise only to please
With expectation of some favor in return or release
It is human tendency to look for and go with sunny side
The angle has always remained narrow and differences very wide
Everyday we come up with strong resolve to fare better
But soon forget to take up or push for the stage later
Life as such is considered precious
You may cope up with problems and become famous
It has double tendency to take you up and excel
Or push down to valley and show you real hell
Everybody will not be blessed with comforts
We come through unnatural death reports
Some people are afraid of and end life with suicides
Life becomes intolerable and frustration is unbearable to hide
Life can’t be carried on with heavy burdens
It must be faced with lots of struggle even
It is mental feeling and forces us to loose patience
Life can be lived full length despite lot many odds presence
If death has to take over then no one can rescue
It has to come by any means if destiny is due
We are here to fulfill the mission and come alive
The life philosophy must be understood and believed
Many have taken birth this before and gone peacefully
Their names are inscribed on stones as they lead it successfully
If their contribution was well worth and exemplary
Their name was to be considered as formidable and necessary
At one particular moment you are at height of the peak
At very next moment you are pushed on the ground as weak
Your place is taken over by another deserving and capable man
Hence life is to be understood properly and lived as human
We need not worry about tomorrow’s fate
We will be no more to witness it on that date
Let life be enjoyed as is blessed in present form
Let us learn closely and stay properly informed

The poems can be
Poems can be..
How can poems be limited to certain length?
When certain things are to be conveyed with forceful strength
I agree with arguments for controlling its flow
But it may not be effective with events to grow
May be it is good with different perception
I am for little lengthy topics from inception
I may be wrong but old habits die very hard
I don’t shut the doors but always look forward
I love making all secrets known to friends
Sometimes my privacy may compromise and end
But it helps to come out of any setback or shock
The human sufferings have enough of such stocks
It may be possible to hold back some of the secrets
You can’t make it possible for others or let
It may form a priceless treasure in your mind
But certainly restrict you for others to guess or find
Human sentiments are hard to understand
It may make you cry in darkness without friends
How you address the agony and pain is not for others to see
As you may hide the face with hands and make heart very free
Such sentiments or deep love can be expressed with some reasons
Some explanation may go hard way with many persons
It is not writing of an episode that may require some logic
But spirit behind it to grasp or understand some basic
We have shrinked a lot and can’t go little any more
The human sentiments deserve to be heard therefore
If we limit the gravity or pain behind it
I am afraid that proper message may not be deemed fit
Heart can never remain empty
It has to enjoy or bleed with pity
The pulses are to be caught humanly
One must be strong enough to accept it bravely

You Dear Father
“Was it you dear father” some one very close uttered
Very deadly in dealing and all my childhood dreams shattered
Were you not so considerate when I needed?
I heard and obeyed you and all advices heeded
I raised eyes painfully and looked at him
He was my dearest son intelligent and very thin
I looked after him well but kept under tight control
He was required to respond at very first call
Why was he bearing all such things and carrying?
Was I so cruel and hard on his behavior?
I raised my eyebrows in unhappiness and despair
But I felt damage was done and beyond repair
I might have beaten him on number of occasions
When he might have failed to respond to number of questions
I was to get infuriated at his inaction
But I still restrained so much for reaction
No parents may want unruly scenes at home
Children are expected to behave well and always welcome
What I couldn’t understand even today about their silence?
I had kept all the options open and restrained hence
I took at least one good care and prevented their defiance
I was considerate and fulfilled all their demand at once
No one had any reason to feel neglected
I had sincerely felt and acted
I look back all those reminisces
There might be omission and many misses
But that does not amount any cruel attitude
I failed to understand his behavior with prelude
The past scenes just hurried before my eyes
He used to remain scared and made no try
To convince me of his intention and feeling
I was eager to hear those words and willing
Now all things have become past
I am approaching end of the life very fast
He may carry same impression forever
I smiled at him and tried to convince him however
He could understand my point of view
It is improbable and may be realized by few
It is difficult to erase bad memory from mind
At a time when it is stored and understood as unkind

most of all, we demand the action
that follows words well spoken.

Female character
I am of little shy nature
Never thought of colorful future
Yet thought a lot bit about being woman
How can that be better than that of man?
I did not turn to human being
For any type of good learning
Type of harmony and melodious singing
The idea was in mind and constantly ringing
I turned to no one but nature
Walked barefoot alone to cure
Sickness of mind and to secure
The solution for anything to assure
Why was early morning an opportune time?
Why was it quiet and pleasant sometimes?
Why all birds were in nest and only cuckoo out?
Why dews were still on leaves waiting to peter out?
I ventured to go near birds
They were on branches but heads skywards
Sun was to bring some shine and new hope
I just observed and thought life is like tight rope
Everybody is busy and looking out
There is lot more to talk about
How to live and cope up with problems?
How to adjust and peacefully live with them?
Flowers fear too in early morning
They will soon be plucked without warning
Yet that inbuilt fragrance remained
Even though fear of separation pained
We, the females, have special role
We have yet to respond to superficial call
Not all can adjust and lead to as it should be
But females are tolerant enough to act like big tree
We can be neglected but not forgotten
We can be cheated but role can't be shortened
It is specially designed and suited for our character
What else can we do than to play part as that of an actor?
