Floating With You
The lion roars, the echoes try
to simulate that lordly cry;
But having said their little say,
The echoes quickly fade away.
After the trouble and the tears,
After the wraths and the wraiths depart,
Peace, nurtured by the lonely years,
Blooms like a cactus in the heart
And pierces all - what dreams, what truth,
What hopes and joys yet dare to keep
the vigil of remembered youth,
until they gently bleed to sleep
Beloved, let our love be quite
Intense and splendid, but polite,
That in the hour of parting, we
May end the matter pleasantly.
Since the foredoomed farewell is core
Of all the mortal evermore,
Let is not mar with present fret
The gracious sequel of regret.
Rather, my little love, let me
Your guide for future lovers be,
Whose pleasure now is sometime fraught
with envy of men who taught
Liar
Shallow me, shallow my lies
i bet you read it in my eyes
under my skin, under my bone
you wonder - into what I've grown!
In truth i always lie to you
I lie , I lie again - so true
deceiver, dissembler but wise
every lie is a sin, i realize.
This can't be termed betrayal
as i recreate your portrayal
as you sow, so you reap
but wish i don't hurt you deep.

Life of purpose
ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಹುಡುಕಿದೆ ಇಲ್ಲದ ದೇವರ
ಕಲ್ಲು ಮಣ್ಣುಗಳ ಗುಡಿಯೊಳಗೆ
ಇಲ್ಲೇ ಇರುವ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಸ್ನೇಹಗಳ
ಗುರುತಿಸದಾದೆನು ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗೇ
ಹತ್ತಿರವಿದ್ದು ದೂರ ನಿಲ್ಲುವೆವು
ನಮ್ಮ ಅಹಮ್ಮಿನ ಕೋಟೆಯಲಿ
ಎಷ್ಟು ಕಷ್ಟವೋ ಹೊಂದಿಕೆ ಎಂಬುದು
ನಾಲ್ಕು ದಿನದ ಈ ಬದುಕಿನಲಿ
ಎಲ್ಲಿದೆ ನಂದನ ಎಲ್ಲಿದೆ ಬಂಧನ
ಎಲ್ಲ ಇವೆ ಈ ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗೇ
ಒಳಗಿನ ತಿಳಿಯನು ಕಲಕದೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ
ಅಮೃತದ ಸವಿ ಇದೆ ನಾಲಿಗೆಗೆ

Makes me wonder what was going on in the mind of G.S.Shivarudrappa when he was penning this master piece. The search one goes through in a lifetime finding answers to many questions that are constantly stirred in the mind is immense. Then there is a moment when effortlessly you just have answers to all questions, when one comes across such a moment (and he/she is a poet at heart) then, one can pen in such marvelous work.
All the paths in life lead you, none holding you back if you experience any set back it exists in your mind. Mind is the wonderful master and the worst slave, the very understanding and the very compelling,the inculpable delinquent. As long as you don't get confused and mix up - all around you is beautiful and sweet. The wise realize everything dwells in oneself and the search beyond is insignificant.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

Eternal sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This is inspired by the movie by the same name eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. The genre is Romantic/Comedy, though i'm doubtful about the comedy part (seriously!!).
The branches swing to the wind
the flowers sing with the bees
in their divine self they find
an admirer with such ease.
The mountains and the heaven above
the sunlight clasping the earth
They are distinct yet in love
such sweet emotions forming a girth.
Time plays it's wicked games
slowly the love is it's slave
once beautiful is now in flames
sending all memories to the grave.
Erasing a smile wrecks the heart
reminding you of the very beginning
but the decision is made and you need to part
as the differences are winning.
It's a new day, a new start
you know not what's in your past
determined to find a thriving heart
you meet her again at last.
All that's gone is the thought
which could be considered only a part
as it's essence is present
sealed in the tenderness of the heart
holding your hands, turn the page
leading us to where we are meant to be
in true love we both engage
like the moonbeams kissing the sea.

Marina @ Twilight
i gaze at the sky, a hundred clouds in motion.
piled beneath the winds, as the vapors drew
beautifully tainted in colors of summer hue.
The glossy sky fades into the night
transforming into further wonderful sight
a soft, sweet fragrance in the air
spreading its magic every where.
After all the turmoil of the day
the ocean sets in the mood to play
and the waves weaved a pleasant tune
as they rise to kiss the moon.
ME, Myself

Beginning of something new
An evening filled with smile
and emotions so versatile
there was a certain ease
and moments filled with tease.
This was our first meet
and everything felt complete
i never thought I'd feel this way
I'm glad we met here today.
For long we've been-unseen friends
this is where the anonymity ends
the moment that appears ideal
is our journey towards 'the real'.
It is an experience mesmerising
something we should keep on repeating
so let's make another quick plan
to carry forward from where it all began.
~~ Chetana.N
Yet unknown
Each day is a new challenge
and each day i live with hope
each day i hug myself and say
you're best day is yet unknown.
each day i fight against me
and each day i taste the pain
each day i holdon the tears to say
you're best day is yet unknown.
each rising day i recall the fall
and each day i gather the remains
each day i race with destiny to say
you're best day is yet unknown.
each day i dream as i lay a plan
and each day i wait for time to call
each day i hold my hand to say
you're best day is yet unknown.
each day i wait for the moment
and each day i can feel it close
each day i pray in my heart and say
you're best day is yet unknown.

To a New Friend
You never made a good first impression
you were the reason for so much confussion
the effort to clear the mess was a true expression
things did change after your confession.
To me you're no longer a lousy slime
I'm sure it will all get better with time
life's long and we are still in our prime
slowly the ladder of friendship we can climb.
~ ~ Chetana.N
(unbekanntes - - Strange)
In the land of the unknown
amidst strangers your alone
this could be an alien land
from here you need to expand.
nothing can shake you away
no fear can make you sway
this is the perfect opportunity
to prove your immunity.
it's time to show off your potency
shy not, flaunt your competency
play it hard, demonstrate your flair
you have the right to be here, declare.
~~ Chetana.N
Waiting
Thinking you would arrive
warm thoughts kept me alive
in this freezing cold weather
I hoped we could be together
I waited for you till long
believed you would come along
to touch my soul with sunshine
and bless me with portions divine
I sat waiting with all eyes
tell me,"don't you hear my cries?"
what is keeping you away
tell me the reason for this delay.
~~ Chetana.N
Smile
A hearty laugh
rises the graph
of one's longevity
like no activity
the curve
can preserve
not alone health
but true wealth
in friends found
to whom ur bound
none's a stranger
when smile's manager
the whole world
looks transformed
into a beautiful song
to everyone which belong.
~~ Chetana.N
magical moves
As you grove, i watch you move
the song sets in, as you spin
moving your wrist, like a spring you twist
you shine, with the moves refine.
on the floor, you're hard to ignore
all eyes are on you, that's true
the pretty girls, tease you with their curls
you jump high, seemingly touching the sky.
with moves like this, watching you is bliss
all heart's lost, as in the air you tossed
driving the crowd hazy, you got them crazy
you're surely the one, everyone's heart who's won.
~~ Chetana.N
To my Darling
let's talk and let's sort it out
we'll clear it all have no doubt
tell us all and hesitate not
because we love you.. a lot.
let's bury all that's past
n' agree to accept the contrast
we shall catch up as you're fast
all we wish is for you to surpass.
we have caused you so much pain
trust us, this shall never repeat again
please don't keep us away or refrain
without you we are left in a lonely lane.
from a little girl who played in my arm
to a young woman with all charm
you've grown into a person who's warm
let us support your visions, we mean no harm.
~~ Chetana.N
RAINY DAY !!
This poem is dedicated to my sweetheart who's now a 'BIG GIRL' at the age of 4. She loves rain and she loves all bright colors, sometimes she pics an orange crayon and says she loves blueeee.... This one's for her with all my heart.
Warm sunny day faded
as the sky was invaded
with clouds that were jaded
drawing a picture shaded.
the cool southern wind aided
pearls from heaven were traded
to the earth they cascaded
with thunder and lightning chorded
a musical extravagance was created.
Fragile
It's a fragile world and me a fragile self
see how i splinter when reality rubs
like a coffee mug that's been dropped
or a plate that slipped out of the hand.
Mixed with the shattered bits of my soul
along side pieces of my heart n the trust it bore
I lay right there on the floor, calling out
which can be heard all over the contour.
Take a closer look at all the stains caused
they will tell you a story of pain n how it lasts
the darkest you can spot is the life I led
which brought me to this fatal edge.
Not love not hate but fear of future
alone brought me across such fate
here as this moment passes by
steam of my life shall evaporate.
All the lie that i wore for years
have been stripped off by truth
forcing me to shed the glittering cover
feeling bitter I stand naked amidst all.
Drawing great courage from the mind
i confess the errors that i acted upon
my soul now has mellowed down
a humble me now awaits to be reborn.

Mixed Emotions
you were the one i wanted to be with
it was true to me and for you a myth
i hoped for it with all my faith
it didn't work out as planned, let's face it.
You now hold me responsible for this
i was there waiting along with my sis
i did enjoy the day without a miss
if we had met then i would describe it "BLISS"
When Equations Go Wrong
We were together, but not any more
before we knew,things had turned sour
it seems like we are on different shore
in this relation, little did we explore.
Being your friend was easy, effortless and fun
such comfort i barely experienced with anyone
though a stranger, my affection you had won
taking you for granted was the mistake i had done.
little did i know, at every step i had to take care
my words would hurt you deeply, i was unaware
else I'm not the one who would actually dare
i know i was unfair,but to me you're precious and rare.
all the silly talks we had, with no track of time
and all those messages which actually did rhyme
we never hesitated to display stupidity at its prime
all that we shared was sacred and sublime.
I miss every bit of you, the sweetheart i knew
i know we still talk but i really have no clue
all the words no longer feel right or true
but i will wait and pray only for YOU.

You And Me
Once I was struck by this lightning thought which has taken the form of this poem. We know someone so well, yet we are unaware of many hidden facets of their's. It's not until time and circumstances reveal it to us, we are are conforonted with them and it chances the role of the person in our life's.
It was unusual how we met
you were surprised, I could bet
your eyes were wide and tensed
and your mind was eclipsed
I was crazy according to you
with no sense of direction
and no plans that required action
with time n' the closer we grew
we shared a few pleasant moment's
to you, I was now more appealant
it was just a hi and only few words
that we exchanged being in the herd
there were a few issues we both agreed
you could see signs of a sane person in me
with seasons the relation elevated
we were now friends who couldn't be parted
sharing all little things was delightful
and the fights seemed so rightful
I turned into the charming girl of your life
to whom you could confront everything being free
a shoulder to whom you turned to in grief
your secrets were safe with me was your belief
once you confessed, life without me was totally hollow
I was now the light of your life, in your love I did glow
after years of togetherness we have reached here
where no one knows us better than each other
through this journey you have seen my many facet's
and no doubt you're my perfect couplet, yet with
each growing minute you shall see, a new me.
