Cheers to "Fresh New Start"

Shuddered & Muttered a broken mended heart!

Shivered & Uttered the words she knew not!

Buttered & fluttered alas it was a new start!

Sweetened & Neatened were our days into an Art!

Life embraced and kissed with grace!

Eyes twined and fixed our gaze!

It paced in hurry to a rhythmic race!

It laced our stories in a new space!

Let the night be filled with twinkling stars!

Let the dreams be filled with sweetbriars!

Let it slip, the bruise and those nasty scars,

Let it ship, let this story be nothing but ours!

 

Kick the Kick

 Life isn't fair....is something we always hear! lets give this a fair shot. Life has been nothing but fair! its we who are not fair to life.....if you know what i am saying!

Who doesn't fail? those who don't succeed don't fail! But having said that it never comes easy to embrace your scars as gracefully as you are meant to! 

Falling down is the protocol to raising up and walking straight....maybe even running! 

It was a family trip. We visited Madikeri for my parents anniversary! it was raining celebrations! Right in the middle of this....I fell down! it was not an easy minor fall. It costed me a year so far! I went straight from dance floor to wheel chair. I am not getting into the details....but the point of this story here is how long it took me.....or rather its taking me to get back on my feet. Sounds inevitable??....ohh trust me its not! If i was diligent i would be on my toes springing to the Marathon i signed up for and was training since last 3 months! 

When i corelate.....which i think we should all do to every situation in our lives.....this is exactly what i did to my life. I fell. It was pretty bad. but i never got up, dusted and walked again!! Shit happens! How fair is it to mourn over it and press the pause button to our life for ever.

Now life was fair. The harder i hit the floor the higher i was supposed to bounce back, but me being not me (coz this is so not me) i paused it all. Its strikes to me evidently that pausing was never a solution and I took resort to it for as long as time can count.

Its never too late....or is it too late?

Terribly Optimistic! 💓

I entered with a cry and exit so quite

So is Life…be it bride or a shining knight

Life treats you equal but so does death…

So make sure u make it count every fucking breath

I entered the tunnel to find the light

It was endless and breathless dark with least delight!

Or So I thought in my hurried life like flight.

All I had to do was for a minute just drop the fight

Cherish what you have, Relish every laugh

Nourish what you love , rest is just a puff

Look around yourself, buckle up before its late

Don’t play the victim blaming your poor fate!

You know not what the next turn Hides beneath its fern

Red roses come with thorns to set you up for a mourn

Let go of the past n let the future churn

Chig-a-wig your way and watch your nightmares burn

Wiggle out in bliss shimmer and shine

Let your heart speak its just gonna be fine!

Life has its colors living through its shrine

After all towards the end of the tunnel there is a sign

EARTH is healing......& so are WE!

chuck chuck....strained the chugging trains🚇
not on tracks....but in hustled brains
look back, at times, to see what you have lost
step back, at times, to get what you may have tossed


Little ones spoke their first words without you
parents grew grey right around you
friends strayed away to live their chunks
to sing their stories that in their heart sunk
Just like yours lost in the memory trunks








i sat with my 5 year old watching the stars
as he explained to me about Earth and Mars!!
Alas....he was just cooing just a while ago!!
when did this happen...how did i miss him grow?!

From infant to baby...from baby to toddler...
oh hold on...when did this one step out of the stroller?!

Mom took breaks in between cooking meals
Dad stretched his legs after each meal!
salt and pepper hair....were just snow white concealed
Stone in my heart...wish i could rewind the time wheel!





Its like waking up from sleep n seeing the mess around...
did i just sleep though when i was suppose to stick around?
Its never too late to buckle up and rebound!



perfect is this time i wait no more
my dreams changed coz i am already in them safe and secure!
Cherish whats now...it slips sooner than you think
think no more coz as u do it sure will sink!

Broken strings

He stroke the strings, not once but twice

Whirled the world and I split n slice

True were his anger his heart so ice

Between were stuck the rhythm of mighty love life

I struggled hard to hold up the tune

Not to break the rhythm and my fairy boon

Whispered The VOICE remember “there is no Spoon”

I ripped around the voice found void just spilt n strew

I broke & now could make no tune

And when I tried it was only noise of pouring Monsoon

All I wanted was to return to my cocoon

With the little Angel in me safe & soon

ಮೌನ ಹೆಚ್ಚದಾಗ ಮಾತು ಮತ್ತಾಯಿತು

ಮೌನ ಹೆಚ್ಚದಾಗ ಮಾತು ಮತ್ತಾಯಿತು

ಮುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟ ಮಾತು...ಚುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟ ಸೂಜಿ....ಹಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟ ಕೆ೦ಡ...

ನನ್ನದಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ನನಗೆ ಬೇಕು

ನನದು ಆದರೆ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಕೊಡಬೇಕು

ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಧನ್ಯಳಾಗಿ ಬೆ೦ದ ಮನವ ಹೊನ್ನಿನ೦ತೆ ಪಾಲಿಸಲೆ?ಇಲ್ಲ ಕಸಿದಿಟ್ಟುಕೊ೦ಡು ನಿರ್ಜೀವ ತೊದಲುಗಳಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಥ ಕೊಡಲೆ?

ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಆಡುವ ಹುಚ್ಚು ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಥ ಕ೦ಡಾಗ

ಹುಚ್ಚ ನಡೆಯುತಿರುವ ಹಾದಿ ಸರಿ ಎನಿಸಿದಾಗ

ಬೆಚ್ಚದಿರೂ ಎ೦ದು ಬಳಸಿ ಹೇಳುವ  ತೋಳುಗಳು ಮತ್ತಾರನ್ನೋ ಬಳಸಿದಾಗ

ಈ ಸಾಲನ್ನು ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಕೈಗಳು ಹೆದರಿದಾಗ

ಬಾಯಿ ಬಿಗಿ ಹಿಡಿಯಬಲ್ಲೆ, ಕಣ್ಣಿನ ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಸೆರೆ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಮಾತು ಮುರಿದು ಮೌನ ಬಿಗಿದು, ಆಡುವ ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಸಾಟಿ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಮುಚ್ಚಿಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ  ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಡುವುದು ಸರಿ ಅಲ್ಲ
ಮಿಕ್ಕಿರುವುದು ಮಚ್ಚಿಗಿ೦ತ ತೀಕ್ಶಣ
ಬೆಚ್ಚಿದರೂ ಬಿಡದು ಮರಣ

ಮೀಸಲಿಡಲೆ ಈ ಪದ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿನಗೆ ಈಗಲೆ?

ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟು ಕರೆಯಲೆ ಇಲ್ಲ ನಕ್ಕು ಮೌನವಾಗಲೆ?

ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಥವಿಲ್ಲ...ಒಗಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸತ್ವ ಇಲ್ಲ

ಹೆಸರು ಮರೆತು ಒಗಟು ಬಿಡಿಸಿ ಕಣ್ಣ ಒರೆಸಿ...ಮು೦ದಿರುವ ಹಾದಿಯ ಚಲಿಸಲೆ?

ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ದೂರ ಹೊರಟಷ್ಟು ಹಸಿರು

ಹತ್ತಿರ ಇರುವ ಹಠದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಸರು

ದೂರ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಬ೦ದ೦ತೆ ಆಭಾಸವಾಯಿತು

ಇನ್ನೇಕೆ ಹಿ೦ಜರಿಕೆ...ನಡೆ ದೂರದತ್ತ ಹತ್ತಿರವ ಮರೆತು

ಮ೦ಜ ಹರಿಸಿ ಮೌನ ಧರಿಸಿ....ಸದ್ದಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಸಾಗಲಿ ಮೌನದ ಮಾತು
