ನಾನು ನಾನೇ ..!!?? Assertion as well as interrogation!

ನಾನು ನಾನೇ

ನನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ ಬೇರೆಡೆಗೆ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿರುವೆ.
ಅತ್ತಲೂ ಇತ್ತಲೂ ಕೋನವಾಗಿರುವೆ.

ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನಾನೇ , ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ.
ಬೇರೆಯಾಗಿ ಕಂಡರೂ ಶುರು ಇಲ್ಲಿಂದಲೇ.

ಬೆಳೆಯುವುದು ಅಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಸುಲಭವಲ್ಲ.
ಬೆಳೆದಂತೆ ನಾ ನಾನಾಗಿರುವುದೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.

ಇದ್ದರೂ ನಾನಿಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನಗೆ ಕಾಣುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ನೀನೇ ಹೇಳುವಂತೆ ,ಹೀಗಿದ್ದರೆ ನಾ ನಾನಲ್ಲ.

ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿ ನಾ , ದೂಷಣೆಯು ಸಲ್ಲ.
ಲೋ ತಮ್ಮಾ ನಾ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಯಲ್ಲ.

ಇವೆಲ್ಲವ ಕೇಳಿ ನಾ ದೇವರೆನೋ ಎಂಬ ಶಂಕೆ ನಿನಗೆ.!
"ಇರಬಹುದೇನೋ"..?!! ಆದರೆ ನಾ ಅದೊಂದೇ ಅಲ್ಲ.!

ಮೂಢತೆಗೆ , ನಿನ್ನ ಮೂರ್ಖತನಕ್ಕೆ,
ನಾನೊಂದು ಬಿಳಿ, ಕಪ್ಪು ಚುಕ್ಕೆ.
ಎಂದೂ ಅಲ್ಲೇ ಇರುವೆ, ಕೇಳು ನಾನಾರೆಂದು.
ನಾನೇನೂ ಅಲ್ಲ , ಯಾರೂ ಅಲ್ಲ,ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಇಲ್ಲೇ ಇರುವ ಸಣ್ಣನೆಯ ಬಿಂದು.:-)

RomanZzzzz...!!! @ 8

Yess!! Romance is the word.
Untested, obviously not unheard.

Lemmi test it now, “literally”.
Adrenaline , come on! Flow liberally.

I need you now,
where do I start and how ?

A soft kiss or cuddle..?
Nah..!! Don’t wanna be a muggle.

Forget about the kiss of France.
I’ll try some magical romance.

This is where the fun begins.
Coz I really don’t know what it means (magical).

Enough.! Now jokes apart,
We sat on a cushion but 6 feet apart.

Hmm ;-) I’m trying it now.
“Abracadabra…Close your eyes, can you feel the love..?

She sunk in and asked “Yessss.!! But isn’t this illogical.??”
I had told her before, “it was magical”

Need a difference. I shouted “Don’t follow the herd”.
Coz I wanted to do something unheard.

She’s restless, pulled me close for the logical.
I was not seeing anything physiological..!!

She locked me close with her arm.
Oooooo..!! Am I having fever.? Ohh she is warm.!!

Stop.! I said, this is boring, this is what everyone does.
Didn’t want to travel in the same bus.

She showed her capacitance,
N I held up my resistence.

She attacked like a hungry shark
Now my spells didn’t work.

I shouted “please do no harm”.
Up on the bed, damn! It’s the alarm.

Gone is the night (Fright).
Got a message – We have class at 8 ;-)

Shadows...!!!

They hate it when it's bright
In fact they just hate light
They just hide behind our height
They were never seen white
coz they never take it 'light'.
Reason simple, it ruins their might.

Thought they might like night,
but they are paradoxical, still out of sight.

Nights are just a greater part of them (we knew it)
Like roots of the tree and the stem.(they didn't know)

We thought they are happy to be small,
coz the greater part kills them all.

Now the night looks to be a scary tale,
but the shadows aren't even a fairy tale.

Every night makes them fall,
Sun comes and lifts them all
We thought even with the sun they had a brawl
An enemy giving a wake up call..??!!
Shamefully behind or ahead us they just crawl.

What they like is our presence,
coz it's the damn reason of their existence.
Even though in the night they don't care,
all the day long they want us to be there.
Doesn't that sound little unfair..?!

It seems their enmity is not with the light.
They want to end the monopoly of the night.
They want to start a fight,
but competition is pretty tight.

Thats the reason......

They rehearse everyday with us and the light,
thinking themselves to be right.
They want 'us' to block sun's sight.
They want to be big shadows but not night.!!!

Their dream under the sun is just a gas filled balloon,
coz they want 'us' to compete with the moon,
they are not letting us run,
in a false hope that we could resist the raging sun.

Consider we block the sun by full girth,
They never know that they'll take rebirth,
not as shadows, but as mighty nights on the earth.!!

Stem can't kill the root,
we can't just aim at the moon and shoot !!!!

ಒಂಟಿ - "Show me the meaning of being lonely"

ಒಂಟಿಯಾಗಿರುವುದರ ಅರ್ಥವನು ತೋರು,
ಒಡೆದಿರುವ ಹೃದಯಕ್ಕೆ ಶಬ್ದಗಳು ನೂರು,
ಕಡುಗೆಂಪು ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಲಿ ಕಾಣುವುದು ಕ್ಲಿಷ್ಟ ,
ಉಸಿರಾದುವುದನ್ತು ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಕಷ್ಟ,
ನನ್ನೊಡನೆ ನಡೆಯುತಿರು ಇದುವೇ ನನಗಿಷ್ಟ.

ಬೆಳಕಿನ ರಾತ್ರಿಗಳಿಗೀಗ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರದಾ ಹುಚ್ಚು , ಆವೇಶ .
ಪಡೆದೇ ತೀರುವೆವೆಂಬ ರೊಚ್ಚು , ಆಕ್ರೋಶ .
ತಾಕುತಿದೆಯೆನಗೆ ಸೂರ್ಯನಾ ಕಿಚ್ಚು , ಸಶೇಷ .

ಕಿಚ್ಚೆಲ್ಲ ನಾ ತಿಳಿದಂತೆ ಇಲ್ಲ ,
ಫಲಿಸುವುದು ನಿನ್ನ ಆಸೆಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲ ,
ಎನ್ನುವಾ ಸದ್ದೊಂದು ಕೇಳಿಸಿತು ಮೆಲ್ಲ ,
ಸದ್ದಿನಲೇ ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಯವಾಯಿತಲ್ಲ ??!

ಒಂಟಿಯಾಗಿರುವುದರ ಅರ್ಥವನು ತೋರು ,
ಇದೇನಾ ಜೊತೆ ಬರುವ ಭಾವನೆಯ ತೇರು ?

ನೀನಿರುವ ಕಡೆ ನಾ ಇರಬಾರದೇಕೆ ?
ಹೃದಯದಳದೇನೋ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಒಂಟಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಸಾಕೆ ?

ಕೊನೆಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂಬಂತೆ ಮುಂದೋಡುವ ಜೀವನ ,
ಬರಿಯ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಗಳನ್ನವಲೋಕಿಸುವ ಕಲ್ಲು ನಯನ ,
ಕೊನೆಯಿರದ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಕಡೆ ಪಶ್ಚಾತಾಪದ ಪಯಣ ,
ಇದಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕೊನೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ?? ಶೂನ್ಯ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಣ .!!

ಈಗ ನೀ ನನ್ನ ಜೋತೆಗಿರುವೆಯಲ್ಲಾ ,
ನನಸಾಗುವವು ನಿನ್ನ ಕನಸುಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಾ .
ನೀನೆಂದೂ ತೋರದ ಭಾವಗಳನೆಲ್ಲಾ,
ನಾ ತೋರಬೇಕೆಂಬುದಷ್ಟು ಸರಿಯಲ್ಲ..

ಓಡಿ ಹೋಗೋಣವೆಂದರೆ ಜಾಗಗಳು ತಿಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ ,
ನನ್ನದೇ ಅನ್ನಲೆನಗೆ ಪರಿಧಿಯೂ ಉಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ ,
ನನ್ನೀ ತನು ಮನ ಎದೆ ಆತ್ಹ್ಮಗಳನೆಲ್ಲ ,
ಅರ್ಪಿಸುವೆ ನಿನಗೆ ಇನ್ನೇನೂ ಉಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ !!

ಹೃದಯದಲ್ಲೇನೋ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಒಂಟಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಸಾಕೆ..?
ನೀನಿರುವ ಕಡೆ ನಾ ಇರಬಾರದೇಕೆ ?? ??

Amazon and the Phoenix..!!!

I closed my eyes n looked at you,
The words are few and the feel is new.
I gazed up;upon the sun was the dew.
It would have got better, i never knew !

Far away that forest,
I thought was a place to rest,
Just like a bird's nest,
like an answer to the quest.

Something went rightly wrong,
it didn't take too long ,
for the mind to play ping pong.
Oh!! I felt like writing a poem or song..!

All green was the distant sight,
rustling leaves boasted their might,
countless trees reaching the height,
above all i wanted to fly my kite.

I entered the forest with 'Your' mind,
with my poem like blind,
but the forest wasn't kind,
there were no footprints left behind.

The poem became a word,
that could't be heard.
"Look out what's that bird.??"
n You think the above line is absurd.!

Sitting on the height,
staring so bright,
"look at his plight"
said the king of light.

Is this a forest or hell?
on the ground i fell.
Still i had learnt to spell,
"AAL IZZ WELL" !!

Where is the kite.?
Somewhere out of sight.?
Where there is no light.?
Or might have lost it's flight.

The Search is on,
deep into the Amazon.
When there'll be a dawn,
the light'll be born.

I want to be that bird,
Coz i don't want those lines to be absurd.
I want to fix,
Yess!! I want to be the Phoenix.:)
