Happy Birthday

When my cries were unheeded
you lent your ears for me
you touched the lives of many in need
a valiant hero, indeed

When i was desolated
in durance of despair
you breathed a new lease of life
into me

when i opened my eyes
you were there for me
there you got hold of me
my life made sense to me

When you came into
my life
what good did i do
deserving to be in your care 

As the gentle breeze
soothes the soul
so did you
as good as a gentleman
charismatic, witty and cheerful

You stand there like
a beacon of light
shining around
polishing my future

When i look back at you
how previleged i am
I bow down to touch your feet
and that what a great blessing, awe-inspiring you are!!!

On a Cloudy Bangalore...


As I was drifted along the lane
The murals of wildlife provoked me
In vague, I was carried away
As the horizons of concrete jungles unfolding
The heartland of woodlands disappeared.

The Eagles hovered over far away
So did my mind!
As all walks of life passes off
A cultural haven I came across!

Who knows what lies ahead
No one can predict what's in store
If the life romps ahead
Only it has to bash on!

As the vagaries of summer transient
Let the soil smell permeate everywhere
I am afraid as to what's next
Let it chill my heart setting in.

As an expressive, beautiful face emerged
The flyover cut me off
As if the life throws tantrums
In humdrums.

Eucalyptus flowers spread their pollens
Like the yellow flakes to tread upon
Soothing my soul with joice
When the wheelbarrow moved on
My slumbers are short-lived.

The skies are overcast
Dark clouds sorrounding me
Let the showers anoint me with heavenly blessings
Monsoon, here we come!.
