Santhosha V

I Wish I had

I wish
I had slept on the crest of a wave
And never swept away.

I wish 
I had crept to the top of the sky
And waved to my folks below.

I wish
I had not wept when my father died
For my eyes were too wet
To see him one last time.

I wish I had..................

Santhosha V

A Leap from the Loop

Despair does not evaporate
Through the sweat pores.
We try though, the poor.
It's not just absense of hope.
The mangled bundles of failures in a row.

It's a loop we are stuck in.
A hop is not gonna cut it.
A leap from the loop
To see the face of hope.

Santhosha V

I am yet to.....

I've lived long enough to realize not to take short cuts and life is too short to take long roads.

I've travelled enough to realize not to stay in one place and not all places are worth visiting.

I've met enough people to realize not to believe in tribalism, but we are not civilized enough to find a way out of it.

I am yet to find the right road to go to the right place to meet the right people.

I am yet to.....

A Borrowed Mind

You see, I have a narrow mind
So once, I borrowed one.

This borrowed mind
Praised only the sane.
A phrase to a face always.

It looked for limitless
In a confined place.
It had no uniqueness.
And was a cliche cache.

This borrowed mind 
Did not live long.
It could not compete
With my narrow one.

My Passion

I often hear a shout
From somewhere in the crowd.
"Survival is the priority
And finding passion is not".

I have been following this crowd
And telling myself loud.
"When I find my passion,
I won't belong here at all".

My Passion! I will find it
And call it by a name.
My Passion! I will follow it
And this is what I proclaim.

The cure for humiliation

There are lumps of humiliation
Use a lens of magnified retrospection.

Digest them by all means. 

Then comes a loud stenchy belch.
You are done.

It's no longer humiliation.
Now it's nostalgia.

There Are People

There are people who are lost.
There are people who are lost trying
To find the lost.

There are people who are shot.
There are people who treat the shot
But they are shot too.
So they treat each other.
There are people who are not shot
But they just watch.

I was lost and shot and found.
I found the the people who were lost trying to find me. 
I met the people who watched when we were shot. 

I found myself from then on.
I can never be lost again.

Santhosha V

Everything Happens For A Reason.

Everything happens for a reason.
I run behind this reason.
To find out this reason.
To know and meet this reason.

Let's say I met this reason,
And asked what was the reason,
For me to run and you to hide?
It says 'There is a reason'. 

Don't run behind this reason.
You may never know what's the reason.
I am writing this for a reason.
You are reading this for a reason. 

Everything happens for a reason

Bubbly Pebbles

See a bubble.
Break a pebble.
Burst the bubble.
Watch the pebble.

Where is the bubble?
See the pebble.
Inside the pebble.
Sits the bubble.

Every bubble
Forms the Pebbles.
That's why the pebbles,
Look like the bubbles. 

Bubbles, bubbles.
Pebbles, pebbles
Bubly pebbles.

Membranes Of Memories

Membranes of memories.
Truncated layers.
Distorted images.
Deformed forms.

Most of them,
Resist to come.
Only a few,
Insist to come. 

Most of them,
Dry and die.
Only a few
Are fresh like sprouts.
