Until This Adventure Ends
I have no purpose meant,
To identify and acknowledge...
That which does exist.
With a repeatedness...
That collects dust and sits!
As if I am assigned,
To show others...
How to stunt and rust their minds!
I am only obligated to be aware,
And expand my consciousness.
With an acceptance of a process...
Some who do this,
Have labelled as growth!
With a daring to live life...
And to share the findings that are there.
Until this adventure ends.
Those accustomed to the taste of stale bread...
Seem to always find the time to comment on it!

The Magic
The magic had failed just then,
Training a hand to a weapon;
The cocked weapon was itself,
The magical weapon was itself.
He needed to obey the weapon,
You dress and bind your wrists,
But the sword snaps in them,
Falling apart and then the magic enters!
A place for your hands has no choice,
What are you now that magic appeared?
There is no escape, no where to provide
And foresee to exact the retribution.
The person also ordered his chest
To expand and release the lungs,
For his magical tricks could foresee
Why he was a magician.

I Do Not Feel Very Poetic Today
I do not feel very poetic today-
And now I make that feeling the ‘subject’ of a poem-
Once Poetry seemed to be confined
To certain more sublime subjects -
But in our time
When every Form seems to expand to take into itself its opposite
Poetry makes itself of the non- poetic also -
There is no subject apparently
Which is non- poetic
Once a poem is written about it-
I do not feel very poetic today
And these plain and unbeautiful lines
This awkward presentation
Is what I am capable of
Poem or not,
I have written it now.

The Challenger Seven
I remember when they waved goodbye,
and left the earth behind
A roar, then an explosion
Indelible in my mind.
That crew was a mosaic
Of America that year;
White, Black Female, Asian
All represented here.
There was a teacher on the flight
Her school kids looking on
How hard then to explain to them
That Mrs. McAuliffe’s gone.
.Like Drake upon the Ocean
of an earlier place and time.
They died while on a mission
to expand the human mind.

Deeply Hidden Masquerades
My mission is not to bump them from top tier.
My crusade is to expand what's here to flourish.
How can that be done in discouragement?
How can anyone expect,
Other than shallowness and disrespect...
When getting on the receiving end,
Another whoa and whimper delivered.
I am not accepting anymore gifts like that,
Sent to surprise and motivate my anger!
My ancestors presence is everywhere.
And a sense of a flawed communication...
Is slowly lifting a veil up and away,
From frustrating times
Of unknown disguises...
And deeply hidden masquerades!

Eye On Identifiable Quality
So many are caught up...
In the nonsense.
Believing all points of view,
Thrives on such limitedness.
As the world crumbles down around them...
They insist on holding onto pettiness.
With darkness guiding them,
Into conflicts seeping deep into oblivion!
And nothing anyone says,
Sinks to a depthness in their heads.
They are determined to see life...
Through a tunneled vision.
Refusing to expand their minds...
And sharing their attraction for dread.
And that does not feed,
A mind seeking a peaceful existence...
With an eye on identifiable quality.

Aim
AIM
With all hopes to support roots
raindrops ready to quit heaven
Sacrificing its own identity, light
reflects with the state of vision
Earth ready with patience to accept
the pressured foot-print of human
Even bears the scratching, digging
fills the palms with affection
With all efforts to expand the space
Sky welcomes the arriving elements
Even the shapeless air enjoys, while
carrying fragrance of every moment
With pleasure Atman enters the body
to feel the cycle of birth and death
Even eternal truth smiles, while

Living And Reliving An Experience....
it is nothing but experience
it shows, it is felt, and then
you draw it back again nearer
your face, take a closer look,
analyze, and feel and
reflect, many times, digest,
expand, do not decorate,
take it as it is,
freeze it, ...stay still,
be a sculpture, or a ladder,
a pillar, or even be a bowl
of water,
do not titillate
visualize, taper, sharpen,
no rattling please, just
the closer look at the closing of
the day....
it dances before you,
shows its best, becomes a tree with

My Passion and Obsession
I never cheated you
Yes, by mistake I may have hurt you sometimes
Sometimes, it is
It was not intentional
Not intentional at all
My heart cries and bleeds
When I think of the thing, that you think
That my love was betrayal and nothing other than that.
How can I expand my expression towards your love?
As the words are pleading for love
I wish it was your love as I am still crazy for you
With all the passion of my heart
My emotions hold you as very dear
Still, my dearest love.
The blame game is over
As love is not a mere game
It is a passion, an obsession for me.

World Is Cold
You are groping for the wind,
Child, and I regret you'll never
Catch it.
I hate regrets,
Which are the stuttering of thoughts,
Or a loud fltus in church.
Primarily misunderstood,
You are neither neither here nor there:
You are between notion
And upheaval. You may never learn
The consequences
Of your inaction
When it comes to charity
(Real charity)
And unfeigned forgie.
sceneness-
Alone in the wilderness
Of an unthinking universe
You might expand
