TO AN INDIVIDUAL

How shall I share with you in words,
The elegance of a graceful pace
The ethereal clues in a tangible face; and
the overflowing joy of morning birds?

How shall I capture in speech
The beauty of a blossom in bloom; its innocence,
convey in words its fragrance,
and transmit the music of soft breeze??

How will these porous words hold
The subtlety of a fresh dew's story,
sing paeans to its pristine glory,
and tell what can't be told?

How shall I infuse any word
with what speakers fail to speak,
what is lost in constant shriek
and the depth of silences unheard?

HOW will the lifeless manifest life's worth
and show it to the creator's immaculate creation,
whose no bit need be changed for any distant heaven,
or for this very earth?

But overcome by greed, I admit
without pretense, having a craving intense,
but to overcome that need, I can offer you to read,
nothing more than a deep contagious SILENCE!

FREEDOM

Freedom,
to choose to win or to lose,
to have your choice, and to exercise;
to be dumb or wise,
Oh, how nice!!
Freedom,
to have your own space,
to gaze at some chosen face,
to eat or to starve,
to have your hue, blue or mauve;
Wow!!
Freedom,
to speak your mind, or be quiet,
to stay in dark, or turn on the light
to kill all Gods, or worship a stone
to shout with the crowd, or stand alone,
Freedom,
to sit, stand or walk,
to read, play or just talk.
To do or not to do,
a thousand things, and more,
Freedom, sure??
Alas!! That inexpressible grief!
A mistaken belief,
Freedom,
Ostrich, its no use hiding your face,
Invisible predators on the chase,
No, its no time for fun,
Be killed or Run!!
In your choice, u seek your glee
But u ain’t yet got the freedom,
Just to be.
SEE!!!
