No Surprise

I came to this place, which was ever so green,

I was attacked by people around me monstrous to be seen,

with desperation counted my days,

helpless, flabbergasted with cuts and bruised in terrible ways


Then came the light lasted few desperate lives,

escape wasn't an option until my heart was pierced despite the worthless dives.

Am I to stay here, should I leave? left me with a difficult choice,

Or should I proudly fight a hopeless battle with no rejoice.


I learnt my survival as I was crowded with the shadows that went passing me by,

I was gradually digging my own grave as the days went by

God! send me a message from heaven or a clue of some sort

"I shall not quit" I said to myself as I helplessly fought


Finally with God's grace, I got a break to find my way back

The damn silver line was quite visible comforting me like a sweet mint fag

I took a chance to gulp the drink from my last cup of sorrow,

With a wish of hope, freedom, wealth and a sane tomorrow 


I've counted by last days to finally arrive here

With a sigh of relief, head held high, I walk without fear,

I hold no regrets, my mind filled with memories and I couldn't ask for more,

"Be gone" I said to myself, without hesitation now here, I go.....



22nd December 2009 - My reflection on leaving MCB bank that resulted in choosing to let go of my 6 years of established banking career during the time.

Bow Down

Never I've seen such grace,

Gleaming

with a gentle smiley face.

Contagious,

mystical,

true sense of gloriousness.

I stare,

Drawn to the hungry glares, 

Drawn to the sugary dips,

flips,

and smiles. 

Definitely a gorgeous sight

undeniable true grace,

Moses! 

yes, I'm color blind '

two gleaming pearls!!

green?

Black? 

Brown?

Does it matter?

No, I've got very little to offer, your grace

Hands empty,

slips,

Smiles,

Still complete - Graciousness. 

Don't go too close

I tell myself,

guaranteed broken heart, 

such a lovable soul,

I still stare.

I think,

he's the fool

most definitely, yes

completely,

Doesn't he know?

Much he knows,

About the flower that blossoms,

smile of summer

is a smile for all seasons.

Best things in life - For Free?


Storming breeze,

refreshes my senses 

under the soothing sun, 

dipped in the cooling sea

Glimpse of the fading sun, 

mesmerized, 

I realized 

Best things in life, are for free


Joyful birthday song, 

non-branded cake

childish blow, at the blazing flame,

never gets old, 

loved ones

Best things in life, are for free


Stoney pot head, 

under the sea of stars

lame fumes of laughter, Too much to take

Breathless,

Food ain't free, but,

it is the invaluable company

Best things in life, are for free


 

Water splashes, 

blinded my eyes

Life is a race, 

only with Dyan 

Firm grip, Rush never ends

Best things in life, 

are for free
