Poem 46 : A Burning Desire

 A Burning Desire

                                 - T ABRAHAM

Always there is some desire,

Which is like a candle flame,

Burns to give a light,

The light is not powerful,

Not powerful enough to light up the whole place,

But when more flames like these join,

They join in a unison to brighten,

The room is filled with light,

So is the desire inside,

First not able to comprehend things,

Then slowly this desire burns tirelessly,

The desire to learn new things,

The achievable and the attainable goals,

Not impossible, but desire should burn,

This desire lightens up the road,

The road to success,

The candle melts,

So does the circumstances are,

The desire burns, but there are rejections,

Have enough desire to reach your destiny,

Sometimes the desire vanishes,

Don't let it vanish away,

Light the next candle,

Walk straight and don't turn back,

Be confident and don't waver from the path,

There are winds to blow off,

To turn off the desire,

Cover up the flame,

The flame should not be blown off,

The desire that burns in you,

It is the light to your path.

Poem 45 : Does Everything End ?

 Does Everything End ?

                             - T ABRAHAM

https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/illustration/confused-man-shrugging-his-shoulders-royalty-free-illustration/1132702311

Why does everything has an end ?

Be it joy and happiness,

Or the sorrow and sadness,

As everything starts, everything ends,

No sorrow forever to make us worse,

To be always clouded with doubts,

It is not possible,

No happiness forever to let us in joy,

Every taste of feeling comes,

Take a pinch of it,

Just like the salt in our food,

Excess is a waste and so is it's absence,

So make up your mind,

Life has ups and downs,

No permanent ups nor destructive downs,

Everything has a beginning,

So does it ends.

Poem 44 : Where Did You Go ?

 Where Did You Go ?

                            - T ABRAHAM

https://www.corewalking.com/walking-and-lower-back-pain-post/

I saw you long back,

A time when the flowers bloomed,

A season of joy, happiness and peace,

But where did you go ?

It was a time of misery, sorrow and sadness,

My world was in ruins,

Finally, I got you back,

A fortune acquired after a long struggle,

Where did you go ?

The voice tells,

'I didn't wander nor waver,

The purpose for which I went,

The fulfillment of it brought me here,

To save a place is ruins,

Which is far more in ruins than your world,

Now I am back,

Back with the same qualities,

But a little amplified are they,

To make you feel comfort,

I will never leave you,

Nor will I turn back'.

Poem 43 : The Taste of Betrayal

The Taste of Betrayal

                                  - T ABRAHAM

https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/13530334-feeling-stressed-and-sleepy-concept-young-man-cartoon-character-standing-covering-face-with-hands-feeling-exhausted-at-work-vector-illustration

Have you ever tasted this bitterness,

The bitterness of being betrayed,

He told me he will,

But he sees me as a stranger,

He told me we will win,

Then he told me he won,

He told me he is a shoulder for me,

To lean upon my saddest times,

But not, I knew,

This man is a betrayer,

I am the betrayed,

I found out through visions,

God showed me signs,

The heaven's lights fell on him,

But the lights dissolved him,

He is burned like a Dracula,

Which can't withstand the sunlight,

So I am betrayed,

So is the betrayer diminished.

Poem 42 : A Life Without Sleep

 A Life Without Sleep

                              - T ABRAHAM

https://iconscout.com/illustration/sleepless-man-lying-awake-in-bed-try-to-fall-asleep-8579189

A stressful life which demands many things,

Sacrifices on relationship and on health,

A night without sleep is exhausting,

Just like a device if left unchanged with low power,

Just as the device gets heated,

So do I feel that fire burning in my eyes,

Fire is burning in my body,

Feeling sleepy and exhausted,

The power is exhausted to the maximum,

Still as you plug in the device to use it,

So as caffeine being a charger,

The next morning is an exam,

Writing exam with a sleepy head,

Tomorrow is a seminar presentation,

I stutter and stutter, even though knew everything,

I walk like a drunkard, I talk like a drunkard,

I feel like spinning like a top,

The power of sleep solves everything,

Sleep to charge, not to over-charge,

Over-charge, then laziness strikes,

Again a heat wave strikes,

This time due to laziness.

Sleeplessness and laziness,

Both are evils to destroy you,

Sleep right and you will be alright.

Poem 41 : I Still Remember

 I Still Remember

                       - T ABRAHAM

https://depositphotos.com/vector/doctor-cartoon-character-9458233.html

Sweet memories does not fade away,

As they are bonded with our hearts,

They are the truth and nothing else to be cherished,

There was a time when I was passionate about something,

But wasn't fulfilled though,

Trials and temptations,

Challenges and failures,

All crowded around me,

Like a thick crowd during festive seasons,

Like markets and bazaars overflowing with the crowd,

Many thoughts overflowed in my mind,

Aspired to work with the microbes,

Passionate about scientific research,

But our story of life is not written entirely by us,

That day I remember,

The day when I had begun my journey,

An entirely different path to travel,

Easy to accept though,

Hard to comprehend,

But time and space made the ease,

Now it's the journey with one destination,

The destiny is fixed,

The trials and temptations won't ruin,

There is no ruin, unless you do it yourself,

Let the story be put to action,

Lets not close the book,

Nor let the pen down.

Poem 40 : A Fog Called Gloom

 A Fog Called Gloom

                             - T ABRAHAM 

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/concept-of-depression-gm1385509372-444229045?phrase=man+in+fog

Whenever things fall apart,

When the bitterness of our life strikes,

The challenges calls out to us,

Just like the morning air,

The fog that surrounds the place,

So is our mind gloomy,

A gloom that fills the mind,

Which stops the clarity of thoughts and actions,

Just as the fog makes the clarity low,

So is the mind filled with gloom,

But the sunshine comes,

That brings in hope,

That clears the fog called gloom,

That lets the flowers of thoughts to bloom,

So there goes the fog called gloom.

Poem 39 : Unlike Poles Attract

 Unlike Poles Attract

                       - T ABRAHAM

https://www.123rf.com/photo_140557806_two-men-avatars-on-white-background-vector-illustration.html?is_plus=1

Just like the poles of a magnet,

The north and the south,

The theory of magnetic attraction and repulsion,

It says, 'Like poles repel and the unlike poles attract',

So is our friendship,

I love one thing but you don't,

I hate one thing but you don't,

But don't know what binds us,

Don't know what is the field that surrounds us,

We got attracted like the unlike poles,

I am the north and you are my south,

I love biology, you love physics,

But we hate vice-versa, you know,

I am not good in singing, but you love to sing,

I have the taste of being a conservative,

You love liberty,

But the things we share in common is less,

But our views and opinions overlap,

This overlap is the one that brought us closer,

The same fears in life,

The same dislikes and likes,

Which are few to point out,

But I like you for who you are,

And the same is your attitude towards me,

How distant we are now,

Our friendship never fades,

Just as the magnetic strength can be seen within it's limits,

So does our limits put us aside,

But I won't forget you forever,

Forever you have a space in my heart.

Poem 38 : Colourful World

 Colourful World

The world with it's colours,

Colours given to all nature forms,

Given by the almighty,

The colours of the sky and land,

The colours that we invent of our own accord,

Colours viewed in childhood,

Colours formed when grown,

Colours given to our life,

Colours which we choose from the palette,

From bright friendship to dark enemies,

From lovely relations to dull strangers,

Take the brush and paint your life,

Use all the colours,

Colours of darkness and brightness,

These colours at times mix,

Mix to maintain equilibrium,

So choose these colours wisely,

If not all, choose some,

Choose the best,

Give your best,

And God finishes all the rest.

Poem 37 : You are a Hypocrite

 You are a Hypocrite

                                - T ABRAHAM

You speak one thing,

The action is different,

You smile at me,

But shout at me the next second,

Your words and actions doesn't match,

You tell you pray for me,

Did you pray to God ?

Or did you serve the Satan ?

You said your blessings will be with me always,

Did you bless me or curse me ?

I don't want your curses in the name of prayers,

Your Satanic temptations in the name of help,

Your actions doesn't match your words,

Did you wish me 'All the Best' or 'Hope for the Worst' ?

'You are a hypocrite', I say,

You always keep something hidden,

To cause a tragedy in my life,

A downfall in the name of appraisal,

'You are the best of all hypocrites', I say,

Whose presence ruins ones life forever.

Poem 36 : Did You Gossip ?

 Did You Gossip ?

Almost many times, or always,

Can hear my name being ill-spoken,

Or awkward glances given by people,

What did I do ?

Have I committed any mistake ?

No is the answer from my inner mind,

I have been doing my work with sincerity,

I have been genuine in my feelings and words,

Honesty is bound with me from my birth,

It is all these which makes you bitter against me,

You don't know it, you can't do it,

Just you want to insult, talk ill and make fun of,

You bully me or not,

You are a sadist,

You have a stone in the place of your heart,

Your gossip makes me more and more strong,

It gives me a strong hold to my values,

So strongly I am holding on.

Poem 35 : A Stormy Day

 A Stormy Day

                            - T ABRAHAM

It is a day when the breeze starts,

This breeze slowly turns to wind,

The wind accompanied by rain,

So is the responsibilities,

At a time when they feel heavy,

A point where one has to let go,

The choice has to be wise,

Ask for wisdom, strength and knowledge from the almighty,

This then turns to a storm,

So put an halt here,

Take time, let the sky calm down,

Take the decision at the spring or autumn,

When the sky is neutral,

Summer or winter is not a time for decision,

Stop the obstacle that hinders you,

The decision taken be viable,

Let the decision be sustainable,

Neither money nor wealth would bring happiness and joy,

But the thing that gives us a tranquil state,

The thing that money cannot buy,

So think, wealth or health,

Money or happiness,

Choose the best to avoid the worst,

Live by your wills and wish,

Avoid this thunderstorm with this,

So remains your life as it is.

Poem 34 : Merciless Death

 Merciless Death 

                          - T ABRAHAM

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/mother-cat-and-kitten-illustration-gm1441397026-481110846

Death have mercy upon these creatures,

You make us suffer and take us away,

You take away these animals,

Animals that suffer of sickness,

The ones with five senses,

Once was a small kitten,

Playing with joy and happiness,

Filled with energy and passion,

Though hunger has blinded,

Something inedible went inside,

Slow drain out of energy is seen,

Kitty is sleepy, sleepy and sleepy

Not responding to the stimulus,

Drained out of it's energy,

Mother cat cried, cried and cried,

But you merciless power,

Let the kitten suffer, suffer and suffer,

Mother cat slept with kitty,

Morning dawned and saw the place,

Place where both mother and child has last spent time,

Poor kitty, it broke my heart,

The kitty is gone,

You merciless death, didn't let it become a cat,

You are always merciless,

Forever you are merciless.

Poem 33 : Longest Road To Nature

Longest Road To Nature

                    - T ABRAHAM

Road to the Bishop Heber Hall, Madras Christian College (Autonomous), East Tambaram, Chennai.

Photo taken at 11:59 am on 04/09/2023

There are many roads that we travel by,

There are many paths to walk by,

This one road caught my sight,

This one long road.

The road that leads you to a place,

Where the nature surrounds you,

With flies flying, with breeze blowing,

The drizzle adds joy,

A joy that comes with the chillness of the drizzle,

Trees on the right, trees on the left,

Where loneliness is accompanied by nature,

Travel through this road once,

Ride a cycle or go by walk,

Enjoy the beauty that nature gives,

Where philosophy is taught amidst this nature,

Where search of wisdom happens,

This longest road to nature,

Stays alive in my mind forever.

Poem 32 : I Trust You

 I Trust You

                           - T ABRAHAM 

https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/illustration/young-businessman-with-beard-royalty-free-illustration/480585585

Trust is like a mirror,

As a mirror reflects us,

So does the person keeps our trust,

Any sensitive information,

Anything personal,

I shared it to you because I trust you,

But as a mirror when breaks,

Breaks into many pieces,

So is the trust when not kept up,

When misused is like this mirror,

A mirror that cannot be fixed,

This person who broke my trust,

I won't trust you forever,

As trust once broken can never be mended.

Poem 31 : Fake Face

 Fake Face

                          - T ABRAHAM 

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-fake-person-vector-bad-tired-man-deceive-concept-businessman-wear-174085966.html

You see people smile,

I see people laugh,

We see people advice,

But are all these genuine ?

Like the freshwater that's available in scarcity,

So as the genuineness lie on all these,

So all who seem to be nice to you,

Seems to help you,

Who seem to be a pillar in your life,

Are not always genuine,

But don't impose this on everyone,

There are people like the freshwater,

That gives life to you,

These people give purpose to your life,

The ones who wear a mask,

A mask to smile, laugh and to be kind,

Will sometime be reviled,

The devil inside them can't be hidden by this mask,

The people who are fake,

The ones who wish bad and ruins in their heart,

Their mask is torn off,

Torn at the right moment,

Like the angles in the heaven,

Like our heavenly father,

Genuine people would never change in their love towards you,

Their blessings are always true,

They wish you success,

So a very important thing,

Differentiate true from false,

A fake thing will always approach you first,

Then comes the genuine one,

Choose wisely,

As a fake thing is always with a mask,

A fake face reviled today,

A path for genuine thing to reach us tomorrow.

Poem 30 : How Many Sacrifices ?

 How Many Sacrifices ?

                               - T ABRAHAM 

https://stock.adobe.com/search?filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aphoto%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aillustration%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Azip_vector%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Avideo%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Atemplate%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3A3d%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aimage%5D=1&order=relevance&safe_search=1&k=sleepless+man+cartoon&search_page=1&search_type=usertyped&acp=&aco=sleepless+man+cartoon&get_facets=0&asset_id=494499407

Why do we need to sacrifice ?

Sacrifice is always coming,

This sacrifice is always attaching itself with many things,

New hobby, new work, new habits,

Why something new needs sacrifice ?

Sacrifice leisure time to be productive,

Sacrifice laziness for an everyday exercise,

Why these two are always like siblings ?

Sacrifice and new habits,

Sacrificed my sleep for exams,

Sacrificed my sleep for projects,

'Sacrifice, you are going too far', I said,

But then understood,

Sacrifice is a choice,

Choose wisely, what to sacrifice,

Sacrifice your entertainment, leisure time and fun,

But always keep this in mind,

Never, never to sacrifice your happiness, sleep and health,

So think whether you are sacrificing for a good cause,

So ask God for wisdom and knowledge,

To sacrifice one thing for the other or not.

Poem 29 : An Everlasting Aversion

 An Everlasting Aversion

                                - T ABRAHAM 

https://www.123rf.com/photo_52369520_illustration-cartoon-evil-screaming-men-on-a-red-background.html

Anything which we have aversion to,

An aversion which last forever,

Aversion to the things hard to understand,

An aversion to the people who disrespect you,

Always an aversion to problems that seems to have no solution,

An aversion to sudden climatic changes,

Aversion towards people who try to cheat,

People who are dominating,

People who always tell something contradictory,

Aversion towards things that does not match our expectations,

An everlasting aversion is there for everyone,

Which is like the poles of the magnet that repel,

This aversion is always there,

Aversion towards ungodly things,

Aversion towards discrimination,

An aversion is always there for everyone,

An aversion caused due to intolerance.

Poem 28 : Once Upon A Time

 Once Upon A Time

                             - T ABRAHAM 

https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/man-in-different-ages-isolated-flat-cartoon-characters-vector-a-human-life-stages-gm1341220350-421031426?phrase=transition+child+to+adult

There was once a time when I didn't know to write,

It was long, long back,

I don't know to speak, read and walk,

There was a time when I learned A-B-C-D,

It was a long time back,

I wrote the alphabets of English and Tamil,

I saw a star in my notebook with teacher's red pen,

Sometimes a big star, sometimes a small star,

Sometimes a plenty of stars, sometimes stickers of stars,

Stars for which I long to write a test,

A motivation to any kinder gardener,

Surely it will one day make you knowledgeable,

There was a time when I wrote slow,

Unable to complete the classwork notebook,

Getting scolded for incomplete work,

Punished for not doing the homework,

There was a time when project presentation was taught,

The drawing I drew on the title page,

My teachers love to see the cartoon drawn,

My want to get back the project I have done,

But it remained as a sample in their hands,

There was a time when I had less sleep,

To write records of experiments done,

The chemicals that cause headache when inhaled,

The sticky biological samples which disgusted me,

The calculus that drive me crazy,

The experiments with electricity that were always done with disinterest,

There was a time when I entered a new place,

A place known as a 'Heaven on Earth',

At first was anxious and felt lost,

But slowly as thought,

Everything came to an equilibrium,

Now it is the time,

The time to be less stressed, happy and productive,

With health, happiness and joy surrounding,

At this heaven on earth I visit everyday,

Where true friendship is formed with a few but with the best,

Where nature's beauty can be admired by my soul.

Poem 27 : Abundant Luxuries

 Abundant Luxuries

                                - T ABRAHAM 

https://pngtree.com/so/rich-man

To live a life, to barely survive, you need something,

Need to eat, drink, sleep and a family,

Need is survival without comforts,

But want is, I want it,

I want comforts, happiness and materialistic pleasure,

I want a car, I want to eat at the hotel,

I want something expensive,

Want is a choice,

Choice of the rich and unreachable by the poor,

Luxury in everything,

Produces waste in everything,

The ones that were wanted one day,

Became unwanted now,

More of waste in luxury,

Luxury due to the money,

Luxury under a control brings joy,

When uncontrollable becomes destruction and dominance.

Poem 26 : You Are Possessive

 You Are Possessive

https://vectorstate.com/imagedetails/137025592/IST_31178_08227-Isignstock-Contributors-Angry-man-point-at-screen-accuse-or-blame-someone-.html

I saw you grumbling,

I caught you accusing,

Grumbling, blaming and accusing,

About the people whom I love,

The people who are genuine,

Genuine about their feelings,

True friendship and kindness in them,

This told me you are fake,

You are just showing possession,

Possession to stop my friendship,

A way to terminate my relationship,

You are possessive not by your own choice,

You are possessive just to show off,

You fool, a lunatic person,

You are not worthy to receive any love from me,

You are an undeserving person,

You are possessive,

I found out who you are,

True love doesn't have possessiveness,

Get out from my life you fool.

Poem 25 : World of Rush

 World of Rush

                       - T ABRAHAM

'Welcome back to the next day',

Says the world of rush,

A world with deadlines,

Deadlines in a few hours and minutes,

Where multitasking is must,

Or else you won't be first,

First to complete the project,

Early enough for work,

Early enough for prayer,

Early enough for class.

The world wants people to rush,

Rush to get recognition,

Rush to avoid problems,

Rush to avoid punishments.

When will I take rest ?

Rush always,

Take rest in a hurry,

Less time for your health and family,

Less time for relaxation,

What happens at last ?

A break in the relationship,

A break in the family,

A death that silences the rush,

The breakdown of health,

The consequence of the rush,

There tells my body,

Goodbye to the world of rush,

There ends the rush.

Poem 24 : Who are you ?

 Who are you ?

https://www.123rf.com/photo_157624718_puzzled-businessman-thinking-with-hand-on-chin-isolated-vector-cartoon-character.html

Who are you ?

A person whom I see,

I see you for the first time,

My heart beats faster,

You are someone,

Someone, who will love me with all your heart,

Someone, who will be on my side forever,

Someone, who doesn't take advantage of me,

You are my friend in need,

You are my friend indeed.

Who are you ?

A person whom I see,

I see you for the first time,

First impression is the best impression, as it is said,

I sweat, I feel disgusted,

I feel uncomfortable,

Just at the sight of you,

You are a person whom I hate the most,

Someone, who will break my heart,

Someone, who is a clear hypocrite,

Someone, who is a cheater and a liar,

You are my worst enemy who exist,

Go away you devil,

A devil in human form,

With flesh and blood you resemble,

But truth always make me feel,

Something is wrong,

I found the person who always makes me feel comfort,

It's God's presence in him whom I see.

Poem 23 : I Came Back

 I Came Back

                         - T ABRAHAM

 https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/side-view-of-a-man-walking-forward-flat-vector-45280644

People think, once gone away,

Once defeated the person, it's done,

They think they have won,

Won using unfair means,

Make others judge you.

But it never happens.

Never am I defeated by you,

I come back with the same strength,

I came back with all my potential,

Rejuvenated with the spirit of energy,

Like a fire that burns with it's full fuel,

Even though you thought you have pushed me,

Thinking, the pit you dug for me has engulfed me,

Never will that happen,

Never, never, never will that happen,

The way I went out is just an exit,

An exit that doesn't exit me from my destiny,

Thought, I exited my values, intellect and wisdom,

Never will that happen,

I came back,

It is whom you once humiliated,

I am the one who told 'I am going',

But didn't go with a heavy heart,

Went with a hope to come back,

Here you go, you betrayer,

Here you go inside the pit you dug for me,

As the angels pulled me at the verge of falling,

The devils will pull you inside the pit,

You hypocrite, you liar,

Whom I don't consider to be a human anymore,

I know I will come back,

With a tremendous power and abundant happiness,

I came back.
