I often look up
When my world is down
To stare at the stars
When no one is around
 Apr 2022
KV Srikanth
Nox in full splendour
Her beauty transforming
From being slender to the other
Boire n coup without a drop

No stoner neccasary
To admire her beauty
Seductress at work
Femme fatale misleading the ordinary folk

The Sun chose her
To radiate the light
Who observes the world
Drunken on her smile

Stars blazing the sky
Drowning under the moonlight
Asks the night to spread its darkness
Stars can be embraced adding taste

Gliding by night
Growing in stature
Missing for a day
Astronomers don't have a say

Flirting with all
She's seen it all
Man hoping to ask her out
Over the moon about the moon


Sign of secrecy
Brings with her majestically
Time to dine and dance
Will she join

Seeing her from the terrace
Dreaming a copyright she's bestowed upon us
The nights owe her big-time to shine bright
Making it on time time and time

Insomnia a tool
Used to fool others to bed
Exotic moments collected
To be recalled with the other



I seldom sleep
At night hoping
Tonight's my night
Push comes to shove
I don't have the guts

Tilt of the head
Can see her glamour
Half the universe she spreads
Her time to leave one dreads

12 hour wait
To see her again
Does she know my name
Unfortunately It is Daytime

KV Srikanth
AGE
Traveling far and wide
Different Countries visited
Cultures noted Languages spoken Lifestyles altered
The toughest journey
Is to age gracefully
Maturity the front end
For every experience earned
No experience is a bad experience
If it is pleasant
Confidence the result
And attained growth
If it is not
Questions asked
Answers sought
Lessons learnt
No more surprised

Every day a page
In the lesson
Taken in the right spirit
Lesser the withdrawal effect
Smooth flow into day 2
The river runs through
With the right attitude
Obstacles a part of aging
Facing it completes it

How well travelled
The decades Inhabited
Decided by
How well behaved
Towards family friends and society
Presence considered an addition
Recognised for patience humility and being soft spoken
Forgiving Learning and Sharing
Helping those in need
Not judgemental of any quality or policy
Equal to all
Rising above all

Anger not the answer
To another's quick temper
Words not going to heal
Countering words out of a sheath
Arrogance not going to neutralize
High handedness
Jealousy not going to stop another person s growth
All for me none for rest
To be met with a simple
Go ahead be my guest
Insults and lack of respect
To be dealt with a thank you
Returning the favor
Not going to change the other
But brings you down to their sewer
Ask not a favor
For when denied
Leftover is anger
Burning like fire
What is given
Is what is due
What is more
Earn it or better luck next time
Large hearted with purity of soul
Not corrupted by any
Is he who had travelled wisely over many

KV Srikanth
Winning and Loosing
Achieve Abandon
Concepts of delusion
Made by man
For fellow Men
To feel superior and inferior
to each other
At a given task
Or advance paid in Tax
Long roe to *** that life is
Ranked on your ability

Unfair system at play
Every person unique
In birth skill circumstances and opportunities
Overcoming them make best selling Biographies

Mediocrity branded by
The powers that be
Mediocrity in the results
Seems to matter
Branded thus sidelined forever
Chances none whatsoever

Those not passed
The chequered flag
Need not despair
There are great people
Who feel it is  fine
To be below the line


To those who failed
The percentile game
Played
An entire lifetime devoted
To seeing how many are better
Or lower
Ironically amongst each other

Thriving on inequality
Man made and flawed theory
Sending on a spin
Those who live within

The world  order defines
Misfits and loosers
Using disparity as their defence
Issuing Injustice in their judgement

Messiah s are present
To protect these men
By giving them a hand
In an equal shake hand

Fortunately the universe
Not capable of judging those
For by the same rules they laid
They were completely outplayed
The Messiah gives confidence
By the sheer worth of performance
Laid out by the system
Beating the system

Follow the philosophy
That says real mediocrity
Not lying in the results
But in the process
Done diligently
They take over automatically
Fight your cause
Only because they were treated with the same ideology of so called meritocracy

Concepts of man
Like he created time
Success and failure
Time controlled pedestals
Set pattern a man controlled ritual
His greatest conceptual failure

KV Srikanth
Making decisions
That do not reach
The intended destinations
Involving in Acts
Self defeating and suicidal
State of vegetation
Where status quo is considered a fashion
A person who makes these calls
In more than one occasion
Is in dire need of guidance
Prudent future action
Is the vision lacking in his thinking

Happened to many
Waltzed down the chimney
To the fire
Burnt and weary
But not ready to
Accept that his actions are faulty

Pointing out the fault
Is no problem
The inflated ego gets burst
That's the quandrary
Insult of intelligence
Is the wrong perception
Trying again with no realisation
That the same act cannot
Produce another result
Leading to more insults

Many years in
The advising business
Both ends of it
Giving and receiving
Unless pointedly asked
Do not part
With knowledge on your behalf
Wasted words doesn't stop
Thoughts and emotions given as bonus
Experiences and analytical ability
The 2 power horses
Used as cylinders
To fire the process
Of change in the other

The target misses
Invariably as law of nature
Intends
Each his own
Best cliche in the history
No 3 better words formed
Out of the English vocabulary

Not worth the time
Of both yours and mine
None taken seriously
I ve seen it all already
In my position
Things are different
The pressures i face
Are face to face
Many such reasoning
Based on the conditioning
Running through the mind
Blocking any flow
Of a new process of contemplation

Best answer is silence
Remember you were not asked to begin with
Anything voluntarily offered
Has no value
Its available free
Remain aloof hope for his good

His time is when
He realises it then
Only from within
Until then...

I have been away from the world of words
But words never do leave
Shadows to keep
From East to West
Visible or not, play of light
Dawn to dusk, forever to believe
In words and world of words

Forced sentiments,
Faked smiles,
There are many black coal mines,
Don't cry dear,
That's not brave ones choice.
Lurk those scars,
For the false pride.
Raspy barks,
The world is dark,
Save your wings,
Don't fly,
Make your choices,
Accordingly,
Maybe that right,
Is wrong for society.
The whole teen's gone,
In this perilous cry,
Leaving these taught's behind,
I don't want my whole life to be a LIE.

impossible
If I can love
With a broken heart

If I can smile
With a broken mind

Then I can fly
With a broken wing

Fly I will,
Fly
I
Will

Mortal  to my  thoughts,
broken by the eyes of the world,
the warmth in my heart hides from her cold breath.

treading softly, so that I don't awaken her judgemental tongue
I've lost step to what makes me happy,
Just to keep her quiet.
The world will always judge you, let your eyes focus on you and not her.
