168. Chapters

Happy memories of days gone by

Make my lips spread out in smile.

Storms of life gives me the strength

To face the threats that rage everyday life.

Sad instances of yester years

Wells up tears and make me cry.

With the passage of time

Chapters have been added

I turn over each page

To unravel  the mystery

That holds the thread of life.

No other book has taught me

Any better lessons of life.

Unedited it speaks of pain ,sorrow and joy

Showing clearly the flaws, flips and gains

Without mincing words to please or tease.

Time has no power to erase a single line.

Each word in this book makes a mark in my life.

The book has my true story 

With many chapters complete

And perhaps many more to add!

167.Lecherous People

Lecherous people make grisly moves,

Entangling themselves in deadly grooves .

But, hurrah! they too fall in their schemes

Succumbing  to  fate, they dig their grave.

Spitting venom hardly pays

Each grotesque act

Must be condemned

No matter how lechers grunt.

There can be no pardon

For gruesome deeds done.

Destiny makes lecherous people pay
Like the serpent
Caught by the cacti

In the most unassuming way.

166.Lies are Lies

Lies are lies

Big or small

Pain from it

Never does fly.

They break us
 Into million pieces
Making living
A filthy waste.
Blood and tears
Can never mend the damage

Inside we die
 As the soul fills up with darkness.

165.The Lessons of Life

Perfection in life
I never can conceive
For nobody is perfect
And nothing is perfect.
Perfection is a mere illusion
Perfection is an imperfect notion
Causing only utter commotion.
In trying to be perfect
We become imperfect.
I would prefer to be true
And let my scars
Remind me
Of  my inabilities,
Of my need to improve.
Than live with a feeling
That everything is all right,
I need no improvement
And forget learning
The lessons of life.

164.Perfection in Poetry

Perfection in poetry
Gathers material from life.
Jocund and gay
The poet sways
Expressing the happiness of life.
Doomed my fate
Pen flows pouring out
Deep sighs of sorrow
Finding solace
By Drowning  in words.
For,Perfection in poetry
Gathers material from life.

163.Face the challenges of life

No matter what others

Read between your lines,

No matter how much you are

Accused of deceit and lies,

Stand your ground 

Face the challenges of life.

Stabs of pain

May jar you apart,

Yet make them your gain

Gathering yourself play your part,

Let your self worth never depart

Face the challenges of life.

There is no room for giving up
Despite life's hiccups.
You need to strain
The essence of life.
Roses and buttercups will be yours
Only if you face the challenges of life.

162.SORRY,Can Never Suffice

Trust built over days
Crumbles in seconds.

Agitated and volatile thoughts
Run riots as guilt strikes
Massacring and wiping out
All that comes in its way
Crushing us with its weight.

Emotionally distraught
We scream and screech
Tossing in pain.
Yet Knowing well
We have to  pay.

SORRY, can never suffice
For wrong deeds done.

The insurmountable grief
Must be borne.
For we have none
But our self to blame.

161.Lovely Morning!

No chants from temple
Can be so healing,
No sight at morning
Can be more appealing,
Then, rising  from slumber
To watch the gentle caresses
Of first rain drops
Trickle down
To meet its mother Earth.
She welcomes her child
Back from vacation.
Stretching her arms wide ,
Embracing it with warmth and love
Soaking with pleasure
At the rebounding.
What more can I ask for O Lord!
When the aromatic smell
Of this aesthetic meet
Welcomes me
To a  lovely morning!

160.Vote For A Nation Strong

Vote is my ultimate power statement

Voting  for good governance is my need permanent.

But does it really give me a stable government

When politicians show only temporary temperament!

Over the years I have seen

Hanks of politicians are never clean.

Their leadership skills flourishes pre-elections

Luring voters with fake promises for every section.

They are bold in delivering lies with conviction

Rarely has one witnessed reforms post elections.

Secularism is generally a coded appeal to minority

Rather than a true practice of merit and equality.

Yet just once I wish to be proven wrong

As today we vote for a nation strong.

159.End each day giving your best.

Lift the darkness from your face

Greet the morning with a grace.

When times are tough

Weather the rough

Even if life seems to beat you down

Smile and strive from dusk to dawn.

Crossing the hurdles without delay

Condemning injustice all the way

Pave your path on difficult days

Surrendering to none but faith.
Live without excuse or regret

End each day giving your best.
