A lonely night, after a tiresome day,

Stretched my legs and sat to play,

Burned without the past's remorse,

Of time's bliss, into my soul,

The days ago, now brings in me

Feeling of memoirs, not guilt free!

Had I been good, happy would I now be,

But that never could, what's done is seen!

It's coming back, 

I'm lost again!

How long would this last?

Please cease my pain!

Grief of sin's betrayal last longer,

Until your humaneness turns stronger,

And finally you rest in peace,

Until the doom's day call, you're free...!

Once upon an autumn season,
Way back in time,
There was an apple,
In a tree we'll all love to find.
As usual it hung on the branches,
Finding it daily strength,
It grew as one beautiful fruit,
That would bring joy to someone's life.
But one day, the wind blew,
Strong and it wouldn't stop,
The apple hung on to dear life,
If it fell, then there's no smiles.
The raindrops began to flow,
Finally it gave in to the blow,
It fell down onto a man,
Isaac Newton was struck hard and fast!
Well this is the saddest part of all,
What more can you ask for?
If an apple a day could keep the doctor away?,
Why did it turn Newton astray?
Science and Gravitational force,
Even at Eden where man met woman,
Everywhere this fruit has caused havoc,
Even today, life hangs on an Apple!

P.S. What would you do if you were the apple that fell on Newton's head?

Spread Your Wings

By: Anoop M. Mathew

As a child goes to its father

I went before God’s presence

Asking him for guidance

In every sphere of life

He said to me, “My child,

You may not understand,

But you are too young

To be set free into this sinful world.”

“This world that you live in

It’s filled with corruption

A slow poison that will eat you

Lest you know or see it.”

“You are now under heavenly protection

I have given you good parents

To guide and teach you

Various incidents to mould you

Develop your character and skill”

“You will be taught to gain Knowledge

But Wisdom you must seek

Wisdom to live and survive

It will guide you throughout life

Ask for it and you will receive it.”

“She will help you gain life

You will become the winner

Spread Your Wings,

And fly as high as possible

Only Sky will be the Limit.”

Hello there Good Friend!

How do you do?

I hate to tell you this

But you look so cute!

I like the way you move it

You don’t seem to know

That when you shake your body

It makes me fall in love!

Its meek common instinct

That brought me close to you

We never knew each other

Until now that – “I propose you!”

I’m serious about this relation

But how about you?

Do you even consider

What makes me love you?

It’s not your beauty or style

Nor the size of your lips

But I like the person you are

From the inside of my chip

Is this enough for a start?

I really don’t know

B’Coz I never felt like this

Till you made me feel it so.

Don’t break my machine

Nor ever leave my side

Coz I’m too shy to live

If I don’t get a good reply.

Why is the world like this?

Why does it lie?

Why did we meet each other,

If you couldn’t be mine….???

I hate to admit

But this is the truth

I’m ROBOT

Without any emotions

But loaded with many skills

(This is just an automatic message

Hope you liked it

I just kept on writing to check

How many words I could rhyme!!!)

THE ENIGMATIC POET

It's funny when poetry comes to you, uncontrolled,

I just can’t help but wonder, 
When it'll fill my soul
And take off all blunders.
It keeps me awake like a mansion without sunshades attached
And people living inside rooms where curtains are no match
I've seen places and people 
Who lust of the dead
But where is the enjoyment, if you must, I’ll have said
That it's right in your heart...
And the moments are what you create
Coz no happiness comes by itself
Unless you make it happen within!
Hmm...looks like i'm out for today..
Life moves on each day
The days in the past, 
Like a whisper on the wind betray
I seldom set foot on this ground
But if it weren't for you, I’d be bound
So much, so little, so many at last
All this seems true, it's coming too fast
Oh gosh! I'm dead, the times are a blast
And the future is dormant, my feet feel the dash
But life still springs it's envy tonight
In hopes to recreate those moments I delight
Why do I rhyme at will??
When all I see is the future at bliss??
Lord, beg thee, take my life, coz it's Your’s, still
For mine has dead, and yours’ I'll live
(the end probabily)

P.S. I wrote this while facebook-chatting with my friend on the above mentioned date. Thanks to her interest, i was able to type this much in about 2 minutes. It's just crazy when the mind plays tricks on you!!

This is one of my earliest works. I wrote this while day-dreaming in the class. Pretty much a weird one too! Hope you are given a thought provoking experience. Read on...


Song Of Solo-Man
I was born to a couple

Brought up in a stable

Watered with seeds

And boiled in the Sun!

I was turned into bubbles

Sorted from the rubbles

Burnt in the fiery furnace

And melted from the ice!

I was smitten by gangsters

Dealt with by monsters

Eaten by dragons

And drunk right from the gongs!

I fought with beasts

Caught up with the fleas

Charged like a bull

Stepped down from the stool!

I sat beside morons

Got acquainted with 'Zorro'

Was attacked by wolves

And slept in 'Sleepy Hollow'!

But when I woke up

I was a SOLO-MAN

Born to grown-ups

Who had knowledge and were humane too…

Inside ME...
Image Courtesy: www.paintingsilove.com

I want to climb the Everest,

Just to show the world I can…

Run a 100 mile marathon,

Just to feel the thrill first hand…

I want to fight the black knights,

Just to show that I’m strong…

And taste liquid cyanide,

Just to prove that I’m The One…

I want to sleep naked,

Just to conquer my lusty guilt…

Jump over China’s Wall,

Just to expose my acrobat skills

I want to read a nursery rhyme,

Just to feel the good old times…

Listen to Metallica,

Just to lose my mind at will…

I want to forget the past,

Just to pave the future’s path…

And face every big challenge,

Just to show that I’m humane…
