The Invisible Enemy

You run hard and fast,

Hoping danger won't last;

But the enemy is not far,

He runs as hard and is near;

You build a fortress,

From enemies visible;

Deadlier are those,

That are invisible;

In fear of the unknown,

you almost drown;

Fight fear and dethrone,

Take back the crown.

Sorcerer Supreme

Lightning fast, glacier slow,

He leaves you in shock,

And doubt the clock,

The invincible illusionist;

You find him, if you like him,

You hate him, you won't find him;

Elusive to sneak a peek,

Wizard of hide and seek;

Pal stealer, this thief,

Can give you grief;

Yet he is also a healer,

Mends your broken heart;

A hard taskmaster,

Gives you testing times,

If you are his apprentice,

Shows you a good time;

Time is only one,

But dons many a mask;

Eternal in existence,

The Sorcerer Supreme.

Frame

Invincible and imposing,

The mountains stand mighty,

Cool and calmly flowing,

The river seems saintly;

Yet, the river keeps hitting,

Unruffled and steady,

At the hills so daunting,

And has its way, finally.

Although hard and rocky,

The mountain loses frame;

The river keep its frame;

Creates canyons and valleys.

Combats and threats,

Life throws aplenty,

Keep your frame,

Have your fame!

The Blue Bird

Like the glistening sun,

On the blue ocean,

I saw a bright blue bird,

Her dulcet chirp, I heard;

I waved my hand,

Slowly she came to land,

Eyes brown like mine,

At first gaze, deeply entwined.

Rapt by my gesture,

She came out to venture;

Like in a trance,

For a joyful dance;

By the river, by the sea,

She flew with me;

Sometimes like a charm,

Perched on my arm;

Although she loved me

Stroke her golden plume,

It wouldn't last many a day,

She had to fly far away;

With a peck on the finger,

So loving, it still lingers

She flew from my window sill,

Into the sunset on the hill.

The Magical Mirror

Once upon a time,

In the mystic mountains,

I got a mirror for a dime,

From a wise man.

He said, "When you are unclear,

The right way, you want to know,

Then, look into the mirror,

The truth, it shall show"

I was filled with pleasure,

To find such a treasure,

Always knowing the right way,

Reaching the top is the only way;

One day, a problem I faced,

Confused, I took out the mirror,

I waited, but I saw nothing,

Except my face, only closer;

One plain day, I saw a glum chap,

One fine day, I saw a glad man,

In the pit of problems some times,

Atop the range of ideas few times;

I realized slowly, the more,

I wanted to see the confident man,

On the little mirror, he showed up more,

And he was a man with a plan;

After all these years,

His words, echoed in my ears,

'What you see , is what you get,

If you get what you see, you have no regret'

The mirror shows who you are,

You are who you think you are;

Your mindset is your reality,

The world reacts to your vitality.

Traveler

The world moves backward,

As you move forward,

Splendid stories unravel,

When you travel;

In the sky, on the sea,

You can be an aviator,

You can be a sailor,

When you are a traveler;

Overcome danger,

With a band of strangers,

Be a star in a thriller,

Be a traveler;

Born to explore,

It's your primal desire,

A cocktail of novelty,

Awaits a thirsty traveler.

The Friend in Need

Jump into the water,

It pushes you up;

Failure pushes you down,

For you to pull up;

For every life you see,

Countless deaths, you don't see;

Failure is nature's way,

Of showing you a new way;

Bear the sting of rejection,

To taste the sweet honey;

Rejection leads to introspection,

You know what's going awry;

Like a bird peeking into life,

Breaking the egg shell,

Break the shell of challenge,

To keep growing in life;

Without a strong challenge,

There is no desire to change;

Change in the only constant,

In the arms race of evolution;

Success is a fair weather friend,

Who gives you a good time;

Failure is the friend in need,

Who guides you at the right time.
