River….Reverence!

-



The moment I am into existence
I know…you are my objective!
My sole aim is to reach you!!

I jump in joy…run down hills
I gush as a cascade!
Down the track…
I gather all the stuff!!

With more vigor and force
I cross countries….mend ways!
To give you something big
From juvenile…I become youth!!

I don’t know exactly when
But you see.. I leave all those unwanted behind!
Cut off with all that’s unnecessary
I become learned I become mature!!


Age doesn’t have any soft corner
Slowly…it creeps into my life!
Taking best out of me
Makes me old and weak..
Makes me dependent!!!

I realize….the reason behind my  trek
And hug you my dear!

To merge with you..
And become unison
Forever and ever and ever! !

(As a student of geology…I have learnt about stages in the evolution of a River
The juvenile  stage….the youth stage…the mature stage and the old stage
Each with its characteristic topographic forms…
I was just recollecting my long forgotten notes
Resulting into these weird verse!)

I am intrigued by "age doesn't have any soft corner..." also the bit about leaving what's not needed behind... this runs very deep...

I love the exuberance of this. It reminds me somewhat of poets like Rumi who wrote fervent love poems to God.

Evolution of a land... not much different that evolution of a man.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
