I was well prepared to build my house on firm foundation rock.
I had gathered each material and every building block.
I’d seen many things, that life could be whilst imitating art.
I could cull the very best of these in each component part.
I’d explored all possibilities, and worked out all the rules,
As I stood beside the ocean, [...]

A Matter of Luck
Luck is a special word
Usually meaning good fortune and fame;
However, many who are blessed with it
Are met with misfortune and defame.
Few who win large lotteries?
Know not how to handle wealth,
Because it is something they never had
That attracts many strangers bent on stealth.
The old adage, ”a fool and his money are soon parted”
Seems to be the [...]

Old Sam Bass was another “bad-man”-
There was othing else to do-
When he stood up, he didn’t care a damn
That HE WOULD SHOOT THE RANGERS DOWN,
AND, RUN THE BOYS IN BLUE!
He used to follow the race tracks-
You would always see him there-
An he had one good Pal, and true,
THEY CALLED HER THE DENTON MARE!
They were a [...]

I’ve seen the factory
Where the people were produced
Other selves to be themselves
With love and hate, with anger and smile
With happiness and sadness
And even with confusion, and lies
I’m not the one of their victims
There must be anyone else
I’ve realized that I’m not alone
Now I know, I’m the victim of absence
And the absence should lived me
Rating 3.00 [...]

The oceans waters are close to our own tears.
Every drop. Renewed hope.
Replenishing life.
At times it can defy understanding.
leave you standing there guarding all your youth,
like a fortress that you’ve
Spent a life time building.
While waiting for wisdom to visit.
Knocking loudly at that big door.
You look back and ask..
Where did it go?
It was bluer I swear it [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on April 5, 2009
As I set sail on the boat of dreams,
and ride upon the waves of confusion,
I hope to prove that with conflict
there is always a solution.
A tsunami of anger sweeps the sea
and tears at the sky of peace.
And shatters the dream boat and
slashes the wind,
And shows know mercy at the least.
Splashing as fright fills me within,
I [...]

The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation. He scanned the hundred faces coming out of the airport for his son. After about forty-five minutes, Arun kumar walked out, waving his hands [...]

Be careful little children
of what you do and what you
say.
Be careful little children
and choose the right
way.
Be careful little children
and speak many words
kind.
Be careful little children
of what can creep into your
mind.
Children I must warn you;
Yes It will be hard.
Don’t plan your precious life
by picking any random
card.
And when trouble comes around
you, take a deep
breath.
And don’t let [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

“I am not in the skies
I am not in the seas
I am not on the mountains or hills
I am not waiting.”
These words I spoke aloud
Your message – your death was long since past -
I am another meaningless oracle
The priests listen closely to all that I utter.
When I visit the shrines much gold
Is sent to the [...]
