End Game

An interesting game,

That goes far beyond;

Starts with an opening,

Millions of ways to the ending;

Stay safe in castles, you may,

Or take the attack to the enemy;

No straight path in sight,

Hop over like the Knight;

Keep going no matter what,

In one fortuitous move,

With persistence, even a tiny Pawn,

Can become the powerful Queen;

Sacrifices may be a bait,

To deliver the checkmate;

Moves, wiser and faster,

Makes one a Grandmaster;

March the squares black and white,

Ride life’s highs and lows;

Without the King it's game over,

Survival is the name of the game;

The ruthless art of war,

Indeed, is the art of life;

Being many moves ahead,

Wins you the End Game.

Yet Another Trip Around The Sun

A very special day for you,

A pit stop in the journey of life,

Where you cut the cake with the knife;

Like the earth goes through seasons,

You go through varied experiences,

In search of greater reasons;

Time to introspect with a vow,

You can ignore light and be blank white,

Or absorb light and be a rainbow;

Choose a different way,

Change for the better, you may,

On this red letter day;

As experience gets better,

Your mistakes are lesser,

On this trip around the sun;

Until the last trip around the sun,

Build your legacy and have fun,

With every trip around the sun!

Love and other Drugs

The passion of love,

Makes your heart move;

Get a good dose in,

Of life's oxygen, Oxytocin;

A simple pleasure,

Leads you to treasure;

Digging too deep in the mine,

Get you addicted, Dopamine;

Triggers your curiosity,

In every epic story,

That has ever been,

There's Norepinephrine;

A lot of stress,

Leaves you in a mess;

Such a pain to all,

Blame it on Cortisol;

The ride is thrilling,

Gets more exciting;

And you go all in,

Rush of Adrenaline;

Warm glow of fame,

Feel proud of your name;

Sunshine brings a ton in,

Success smells of Serotonin;

A dramatic tale,

An emotional cocktail;

Your life history,

Is Nature's chemistry!

The Alchemist

All around us,

Yet easy to miss;

Shrouded in mist,

The only Alchemist;

She is as old as time,

But has eternal youth;

Her skill always prime,

Her work speaks truth;

Her lab is the universe,

Her method, very terse;

With chemicals, only four,

She creates worlds and more;

Take a bow!

At her colorful rainbow;

Lo and behold!

She turns rock to gold;

The earth her bowl,

Filled with salty sea,

With winds that howl,

And lightning to stir,

She found the elixir of life.

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!
