The winter

Out there is,
the white envelope,
the mercury falls
pricking cold
as cold as the heart
of the beast

I made a ride
on the thoughts,
my refuge was
the blanket,
a man lost,
in the world.

A world too fast
was rendered
passive
it's the winter
with the sun
playing
hide and seek.

A love so cold
vanishing
A relationship
so feeble,
diminishing,
Seasons effect?
The million$ probe

It is the winter
in the heart..

The butterfly

My persistent struggle,
Gave me colors,
"So beautiful",
I heard somebody,
admiring.

The flowers,so comely,
lured me near,
gave me too much,
surprised me,
with that deluge.

I was the favorite,
for the cameras.
Some used papers,
embezzled my beauty,
sensual,I realized.
deciduous..

Happy am I,
As I made others happy.
I lived my life.
here it ends,
with vain glories,
with no evidence...

May be,
the butterfly effect!

The Strong Contender

I believe that The Mozart of Madras is going
to make it this time too..
Let us wait till Feb27
All the best Mr. A.R.R

"If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
More than it is"

Loosing it at last..

I think the office of BCCI should be shifted
to some place in South Africa or Australia..
It sounds odd but if one happened to see the
performance of the Indian batting lineup
against South African speedsters Steyn & Morkel
in the series decider of the MTN cup, one will
certainly think of the same thing as I did..
It is advisable to avoid foreign tours before
the WC as the same thing happened in New Zealand
some years ago..It exposed the weaknesses of the
famous Indian batting line up against the World
Class pacers like Morkel...
Dhoni's series stats were ridiculous...It seems
that he enjoyed the dividends of what others
did..

Sreeshant omitted!

It is a pitty that the Keralite Pacer S. Sreeshant is omitted
from the WC squad.If consistency is the criterion for selection
one could find no reason for his omission.Selectors justified
their decision saying it is the subcontinental conditions which
made them to select the leg spinner Piyush Chawla as an attacking
option.But I feel that Cricket is a game for those who play well..

Anyway I wish the very best for team India,just as Sreeshant tweeted
after the heartbreaking news..

The bridge

Yes! It is the bridge,
Too old with cracks,
With devouring waters underneath.
I couldn't control my eyes,
The turbulence of the waters!
It gushes to swallow,
Every prey which falls.
Curios eyes

I started the journey,
With a determined mind,
I saw many resting in the midway,
I blamed them,Am I too pompous?
Others, too energetic made mistakes to ruin.
No!I can't be callous,
I need to be cautious.

Am I little sluggish?
Destination demands pace.
The sun is at the horizon,
Night is treacherous.
I ought to move fast.
With a weary mind,
I looked at my destination.
(Am I a stargazer?No,I'm not)

From where I am
I looked at that extremity,
With my feet exhausted,
With my head heavy,
I am nowhere,
There are people ahead,
Approaching the target.

This is not my place,
My home is there afar,
My friends are there,awaiting,
For me to join them.
From here I can see,
That crown with emeralds and ruby,
With my name imprinted.

I need to run fast,
This is where I ought not be.

The Outsider

The 7 O'Clock bell,
Echoed in my ears.
The usual reluctance,
Made myself hide,
In the warmth of the wool.
I can't stay for long,
It is not the place to be.
A Sunday formality awaits.

The cathedral stands proud,
Magnanimous,the Dutch creativity!
With people of varied profiles,
With prayers and rituals,in order.
I came for peace,
I didn't get,precious!
My eyes were restless,
My mind was somewhere.

I hurried to leave,
To a world,strange,
With options, luring,
With resistance,negligible.
Where is spirituality?
Whom should I blame?
For making materials, my master,
Is it the world or the God?
(Or me?)

I walked further,
I saw people suffer,
I saw people laugh,
I saw the poor and the rich,
Strive to reach heaven,how?
Where is the equity?
Somebody should be reprimanded.
Is it the world or the God?
(Or me?)

The logic fights with the faith,
"Stop lying to myself",I said.
Take my mask,let me reveal myself.
Let me stop convincing the world.
Let the world know who I am,
What have I done so far?
You are the alpha and the omega,
But don't prompt me to trust.
(I won't,I can't)
