Part Wise Part Foolish

 I am part wise, part foolish

Foolish to think I am wise

And wise to think I am foolish

Better still, neither can prove otherwise

reflections 5

My inspiring words

And my deep delves

Are not meant for the world

But for myself

My words are my best counsel

Adversity

Don’t detest those who judge

Learn lessons and rest you purge

Sometimes we all require a little nudge

When it does not come as a natural urge

 Gravity that makes us fall

Teaches us to stand after all

There are no forge without fire

So if you feel you are on a pyre

And world is giving you hell

Remember, it’s shaping you as well

Knowledge

One never gets to meet the horizon

For further you go farther it goes

Yet you must chase it for a reason

For each day you learn something new and grow

God

If you want to know God

Create

Thence you shall know his joy

Give it all

Thence you shall know his love

And let it go

Thence you shall know his agony

Rhyme

A verse without rhyme

It’s like peace without harmony

Like love without its agony

It is like a city without crime

Nuisance it may seem to naive

But that’s what makes it thrive

Heaven &Hell version 2

They say heaven and hell are forever

Its only earth that won’t last that long

Your days out here are counted

So make sure you make them count

They say, hell is all pain and heaven is all pleasure

But it’s on earth that you get its measure

They say, you leave it all behind

Wealth, success, fame and name

You walk past the gate just the same

Just like the way you came

But then, how will you know who you were

If even your soul, were to be bare

So memories for sure you carry

It’s in the memories you make

That you burn or bask forever

There are infinite parallels of universe, all intertwined

And we live in many at the same time

Heaven and hell, the two extremes

And multitudes of them in between

There are no after worlds, but this one

We don’t die and go anywhere

But we just live in one of them

What is right

Most men know what is right

They have it right in their sight

It’s seldom ignorance that takes them astray

But an easier wrong that has its sway

Men stagger more on shiny days

Than loose their way

On pitch dark nights

For most men know what is right

Even when it is out of their sight

Change

No, man can’t be moulded

Or cast in any die

For it’s not pressures without

That changes man

But the presence within

Changes are not tattoos on our skins

But outgrowths of our souls 

If all you care is claps

And you work only for applause

And if you believe

That world is a stage

Its not a bad construct of reality at all

You can succeed, find happiness

It’s all well with your belief

But just, that you have placed

Your happiness in others hands

Horse and theButterfly

The horse asks the butterfly
I saw you here at dawn
Dancing around these flowers callously playing by
While I saddled for my journey far drawn
I travelled today a hundred miles
Galloped all through not rested even for a while
End of the day what I can with content say
With hard work sweat and toil I have earned my hay
And here you are while you can fly
From every work you simply shy
There is no purpose in your unsteady flight
Although I not like to pry, but I still wonder why
Butterfly smiled and fluttered for a while
Close to the horse observing his plight
And right when the horse shook his head and nodded in despise
Butterfly broke her silence and hummed in her voice nice
While you galloped around and covered distance abound
You saw nothing beyond the track that you were bound
I did dance around and never left this surround
While you paced around I was rather slow
But I enjoyed all this while beauty that nature endow
I have seen flowers bloom their fragrance loom
And I have seen them wilting and falling the coming noon
I have seen the morning dew glowing
And seen my young ones growing
Felt the joy of life and the ecstasy of love
And in this very day the dance of death
So many of my kin birds have preyed n fed
I have learned to live for the moment now
Make each moment of my existence count
Your journeys are bland but for those slants and mounts
Part that you strained and part that you eased along
For you life is a race, for me it’s an eternal song
For me life is a celebration and not a destination
So I don’t run but dance along
I carry its colours tattooed on my fly
Intoxicated by its nectar I flutter by
Long before the next dawn
I would be forever gone
I have yet no regrets or fear
For I live my life to the fullest dear

Birth...

Maiden voyage of a man
Is a journey but of few inches
Yet what he traverse thus
Is no less than a universe
Journey but a few minutes
Yet so dilated in time
That it stretches unto infinity
It is but the greatest journey of all
These few inches and minutes
Precursor to all that is yet to befall
A journey that no man remembers but that no man ought to forget
Mans journey from mother’s womb to womb of mother earth

Note: Its womb of mother earth coz earth continues to nourish us the way we are nourished in our mother’s womb...It is but in this womb we live rest of our life. The journey thereafter no man has yet seen...

Reflections

Don’t peek into mirror with such vanity dear

What reflects in there is just a colourful shadow
Beautiful it may be, but too shallow
With time it gets faded... with age slowly jaded,
Looses it sheen and is nowhere to be seen
So if u can dear, reflect unto a man’s heart
Let your essence drench him deep
And etched in his heart, thee, forever he would keep

Taste...

My faith in humanity

Is like a cocktail
Shaken but not stirred
In this short journey called life
I have met creeps, thieves and bastards alike
But so have I witnessed goodness strive
In most unlikeliest of the places alive
I taste them as such
Not let them mix

Ocean...

An ocean oblivious of her depth
Unwittingly so often leapt
To embrace the sky
Far so high
Unaware of the fact
That it’s the sky that in fact
Arches his back and slowly bends
To fade into her at the far end
