At the sight of a flower

As she stood as a morning flowerlike she had bathed in a nectar showerher fragrance rose to end the gloomto make every flower in the garden bloom

With the cool wind she made my heartto float in air for the cupid's starkfrom then neither do i like the beautiful dewnor do i think about the unknown fewfor i want to see her beautiful faceand this is my life's pitiful case

Akshay Srinivasan


Certain to all

It is useless to tryfor vanishes even a babies cryalso a wise man's liefor we are all certain to die.

fate decided the time and datesome say they can go against fateI laugh at all their foolish stateand say to all I think you are to latefor we get deserted by life's joy and memoriesand we leave behind nothing but our glories.

Come What May Brother

Let it rain or let it snowFor seasons come and go so slowI shall stand by your sideOn mountain peaks or in the depth of seas

Come what may I shall stayWhatever comes I sayFor we share our blood and willRunning on flames or gliding on snow

Shadows may follow like unsketched peopleBut they fade away with light and darkDay and night or seasons which goI will wait for any cause you sayWatching from the stars and skyEven on mountain peaks or depth of seas

Akshay Srinivasan


Day and Night with our trees

Seeds of the past standing tallShooting branches for the futureLight beaming through leavesLike a leopards eye gleaming in darkness

Sleeping at the foot we spentDays and nights with the stars and the moonLike the womb of our birthThe loving kindness the endless dreams

You never showed the pain I causedWriting my name on your heartAt the end I shall goHaving your love in my soulFor I will remember allThe hearkened stories and the cool windsThe choler I showed on my lossAnd the warm hands you gave

Families of joy

I work and starve to liveI work and starve to giveto share the happiness with the family I knowhow i wish i could make live in a castle of snow.

My life which they colouredthe joyous memories they showeredmy deep wounds they healedthe sorrow of mine they sealed

Akshay Srinivasan


In life and death

We will meet and we shall meetthe darkest day of our livesFor time moves on till a mirror reflectsFor time doesn't stop neither for life nor death

Beauty and joy, wrinkles of painin life and time may remain a stainNeither diamonds nor gold can stop its flowfor in life and death time will never move slow

For on the darkest dayof our flag, time will not lagIn repent or joy, time will show its stealthfor time neither mourns for life nor death

In the last few moments of life

Calling my dark heat of thoughtliving the blood shed still foughtin fields where corpses laywhere motionless in the future they will stay

Oh! there lay someones fatherand there lay someones sonsomeones brother and someones spousewhen their people slept safe in their house

when rivers of blood flood the sandand nations continue to fight for landand infinite human greed does not succumbeven when thousands lay numb

In the refugees camp

In the dark the chamber stoodwhere goblin like children begged for foodwhere people stood half nudefor the waters which rushed in were also crude

Animals didn't have their lives to brudepeople fighting for their daily stewfor the stocks were only fewfor the rich who rushed in were also crude

they cried and slept with the deadwith whom they also lived and fedand none of them stood steadso they joined those who led

life, a dream to live

to be loved by all for no reasonto be confident never to do treasonto let a smile for eternal joyfor i was never born to be coy.

to do what i wish with no one to yield beforeto live for all and never to scorehappiness, joy, and most of all lifeto be free, free from all human strife

Akshay Srinivasan


My one true love

i do not understand what others say.....yet i do what to do...i do not know what to do.....yet i do something though not by heart....i do not wish for time to stop with youyet my heart does cry for it......i do know why it does so.....yet i do not have the courage to help....

i am sad, yet i do not show..i am happy, yet i do not laugh...i am not myself, yet i do not worry.......i am alive yet i do not feel anything......i have everything, yet i am emptyi do not yearn for anything....yet i hope to get something....

i do know what this feeling is........but i have never felt it before...i am not the same any more...for i have fallen in love with youwhich is true from my hearts core

Akshay Srinivasan


Our dark hearts of thought

We laugh at the sick and the oldwe laugh at all suffering the coldsuch a pity, our hearts have never weptfor we have been pushed into the deepest depth.

Oh! such a pity, we laugh with a liewe laugh at people, even as they diewe laugh at all with a pitiful gauntlost in deserts which forever haunt.

Akshay Srinivasan


Smile of my heart

I wonder how she could talk right to my heartwith her smile she brought me back from the darkI wonder how she became a partof me, when we were walking in the park.

To give a rose and make it shyfor I have found beauty much than the skyI keep flying in an oblivious dreamas living in a world of cream

But now my heart both laughs and weepsin day or night it never sleepsnow I live just for her smilefor my love is flooding like the Nile

Akshay Srinivasan


The perfect dream of life

With blood and sweat I will wieldthe fruits of joy I will yieldI will work till I reach my goalthen I will live as a joyous soul.

With the phoenix song and flowers for allI will wait to light a fire by falland gain the things not displayed at a stallwith a life so simple, I will walk tall

Akshay Srinivasan


Truth or a lie

Truth or a lie I don't knowyou may say as white as snowbehind my back you may repentlike the venom from a heartless serpent.

One day,

In your heart it may erktill the day comes off darklike a stark of light in your heartwhen the cloaks of lie will be known.

For I know

On cheerful days or frightful nightsyou may think and you may cryor may be that you will never feel theseSo, I can say, you know how to lie.
