Eagle-A Maverick's Guise

Strive you win, languid you lose

Dare to cull a silent recluse

A game of pawns without a pair

Win with resolve, think to care!!

Not all mortals become Alexander

Immortality befits simple candor

Men of caliber conquer hearts azure

Fly like eagles without demure

View the storm like a glistening gem

Eagles rise in a stormy mayhem

Sight your goals with an eagle's eye

Its time to rise from whiskey and Rye

Nature renders in a subtle form

Succeed to follow the eagle's norm

Just a bird or is it inspiration?

Underachievers radiate exasperation

Callow eagles soar lonely heights

Match the bird with splendid fights

The man like eagles who rarely pair

Never dreads the heights where eagles dare.

Appreciation an Approximation

Feelings and emotions are wonderful seeds

Germinate to character that grows with deeds

Fruits that are borne are a treat to savor

Like facile actions each unique in flavor

Blessed art thou who surpass such scripture

Acquaintance! an eyepiece to thy striking nature

Its demureness if you contemplate exaggeration

Your fragrance sweeps this fetid generation

Appreciation the only word in verbal galaxy

Repudiates in effect, is evidently a proxy

Accept the lines as a token of appreciation

Note appreciation however is an approximation

The World of Silence

I watch the horizon with the drowning sun

In the only hope of a second one

The thoughts so deep won't let me sleep

Is there a one to share the grief?

The crystal vase with dreams belit

Shattered in space into myriad bits

The space within in its infinite chasm

Recollects the deluge from the cataclysm

I shun the thought, stop being vain

Oh! I am a rock I feel no pain

Thoughts of sorrow are known from speech

Tussle in silence helps pain besiege

Peace is calm and pain is loud

Joy comes with rain from a tiny cloud

Speech is silver, silence is golden

The words of wisdom are seldom spoken

Hope-The Light Within

Marched like troops a million miles

With patience in heart to run in files

Chanted and ranted, they walked the rope

Unfaltered like ants with a cherished hope

Human mind is like a lethal force

Can be divine and can be sore

Life is a misery for those who fail

Failure and adversity help prevail

He who culls to embrace success

Prepares to bear gruelling stress

To err is human the nobles said

To never try is a crime unsaid

Will to fight like he tills to eat

Work and worship until it sleeps

Trust the mind that helps man cope

Left to the mind it’s full of hope

Life an Abstraction?

Care to think why you were born?

Why roses bloom with a spiky thorn?

While one lives as a parish priest?

The other delineates a worthless beast?

Answers echo a scientific mess

Perceptions they are nevertheless

Motions are all about Newton's Laws

Emotions defy rationale in clause

Discerning life is an eternal quest

Understand and you’ll live with zest

A haughty soul calls this a fake

I misconstrue!! there’s nothing at stake

Points of view have played the pun

Cognizance of life just mulls the fun

Attempt of a mind to put life in traction

It’s hard not to call life an abstraction.
