Science in grief

The super hero who rose from the historic Rameshwaram

The star who lit up the science sky in blazing display

Born poor yet rich in brilliance to emerge a rocket man

Building India’s first ever satellite/space probe launch vehicle

Going on to become the most loved most respected President,

Is no more, star gone, plunged into dark it’s science in grief

Stars still roam, light up the sky still yet he was that rare

Star called Abdul Kalam, his absence to be felt forever

The missile man fired India into a fast missile,

Into a spacepower respected the world over

Reached the pinnacle of India’s highest office

Yet lived simple shunning the luxuries of the office

Choosing to teach the students nation wide

From the precincts of the presidential palace

Visiting the institutions to inspire the younger lots

Till the last of his breath to pass away in glory

Had ever been a man like him to walk on this world

Shall ever be one to fill his place, fill the empty void?

Wedded to science he never married,

A selfless phenomenon to have ever lived

A scientist par excellence, president par excellence

Human being par excellence as the heights

And the pinnacle of immense fame he attained

Never got to his head who stayed down to Earth

The nation in grief, science in grief

No relief as nothing to replace him

To carry forward the good work

The teeming millions who paid their last respects

Showed how much he lived in their hearts, period!

Hail, cherish the wonder Dr. APJ  Abdul kalam

Write his name in golden letters, Jaihind!

She is more intoxicating than a drink

         

Blame me not when I say

She is more intoxicating than a drink  

It is nature’s irony nothing villainy!

Just enjoying the nature’s gift

To write on a breathtaking sensation

My eyes fall on her to drink in her 

Her features sent me dizzy into a stupor  

Into a tail spin ,spell binding safari  

Soporific, mind  blowing artistry

In  a thrilling unfolding story

Oh! those honeyed rose bud lips

Lovely chiselled swaying hips

Charming gorgeous twin bosoms

Mind blowing heart stopping curves

All intoxicate me with mesmerizing kicks

A living delight to the eyes

Fitting gift to the yearning senses

To touch, feel, taste, drink, it peaks

Climaxing into dizzying summits

Golden moments, lasting times

Nothing evil, nothing criminal

In enjoying the nature’s miracle

A creation to enjoy, cherish unparallel

Staying in the embrace irresistible

of the everlasting high incomparable!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

Thinking is easy so I think!

Thinking is easy so I think!

Closed to the world tight with no link!

More secretive than four walls

Inside walls may be under surveillance

making the thinking free from interference

Thinking normal, thinking abnormal, wicked

thinking perverse, good, bad, ugly, sacred,

sacrilege, funny, serious, beautiful, reverend,

all easy ,unshackled, so I think so naked!

Thinking never dies so does the mind

I kept thinking aloud till something slapped!

You dare say what you think my smart nerd?

My mind cut short my reverie god speed!

Hey! Saying not that easy like thinking what u say?

Saying is easy as long as it is right

Free from controversies, hurt, hate

Anything not so needs courage straight!

So say normal, unoffending words

Taking care not to let out swords!

Words rightly handled are pure Gods!

Pleasing friends, foes all alike in accords

Saying is then easy sailing records

Acting is not that easy still I act

Eschewing unsavory deeds with tact

a must to carry the thinking and saying to proceed

Then thinking, saying, acting all easy succeed!

Life has blossomed into a flower

Into a life so dreary

She came in so shiny

Life has blossomed into a flower

Stirring fragrance, lending new color

Tasting sweet as choicest honey

With her days and nights are delights

Moods and spirits soar to new heights

Walking,talking, holding each other

Enacting tales of love so merrier

Nestling close, merging deeper

The days and nights may end

The growing love will never bend

Where was she all these days

Unknown and out of sight place

Is the niggling questions that rise

Late better than never is the story

Love is forever now in towers ivory

Times to cherish her ,cherish her love truly

Taking care not to hurt her, prick her verily

To guard the flower and her from the storms merrily

Coasting to new horizons Pluto and beyond

January 19 th 2006-

The mighty Atlas V blasted off

On a historic grand lift off

To launch the marvel aptly named New Horizons

Propelling it into a fastest spacecraft ever

Onto enigmatic Pluto and beyond

On a great space odyssey of our times

It carried on merrily @ 36,000 miles per hour

With the Radio Isotope Thermoelectric generator

Powering the onboard instruments

Hydrazine fuel aiding course corrections

Flying past  Jupiter in 2007 for gravity assist

Getting  9,000 miles per hour boost

To cut short the journey to Pluto by 3 years fast

Going into hibernation fell asleep from 2006 to 2014

waking up from the safe mode in the fall of 2014

On approach to the great heroic Pluto

Pluto a planet then when it started off

Demoted a dwarf planet in disgrace right after,uff!

Pluto lay awaited to have it’s last laugh

New Horizons kept unlocking mysteries enroute

Noting volcanic eruption on Jupiter’s Io moon on spot

Discovering the Pluto’s heart shaped,dark ,circular features

Throwing light on the icy mountains, icy moons

Hazy hydra coming into focus more as icy rock than a moon

Finding Pluto larger in size than thought, ooops!

Discoveries may restore the Pluto back as a planet

The journey is still on, the data thereon in rote

Identifying the apt kuiper belt object to pass by next

It may continue to fly past for the interstellar space tryst

New Horizon's story seeking new space horizons is vast

Into the void,into the outer reaches of solar system great

Let it carry on, carry on unraveling our origins, salute!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

Around the world,across the universe with angel dearest

Around the world, across the universe

so jolly, happy with my angel dearest

in the life’s times journey of a life time

seeing different people, different nations, sublime!

Different stars, different galaxies, supreme

Journeying on land, seas, skies

Walking on the meadows, beaches

Hand in hand, snuggling close,in arms

Hugging, kissing, bursting the love dams

Dancing in perfect symphony, in ballet moves

Journey discussing nature, poetry, science

Discussing life, love being the sweet essence

Starting friends, growing into lovers by choice

Journey through the day, cuddling in night place

Intimacy stoking the flames of passions in a trice

Journey over around  the world it is time to leap

Fly into space, up around the stars, planets,moons, deep

On to the galaxies, nebulae, pulsars, neutron stars, jump

White, brown dwarfs, red giants, super novae, hop

All flashing through our minds staying tuned together, no stop

Journey through the world, journey through the universe

Uniting us, bonding us, cementing us in forward race

Rewarding us with love, warmth, affection as prize

I take her, she takes me in full strides we surpass

Journeys continue, they are forever our plus plus!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

From the angel’s balcony

She lives there some stairs up charming

Her balcony looking up the sky beckoning

Peering down the ground below calling

Down there a lush green paradise lies sprawling

In the mornings she blossoms out there as flower

Her sweet hands holding the hose to water

Her sandal feet moving in grace so smarter

Done she enjoys the serene trees shade so cooler

Hearing the chirping birds chatter up in trees

Her little friends making merry like bees

Losing herself in the green scape cheese

Her exclusive moments with nature in breeze

Enjoying her presence in the green paradise

I wish to share with her the moments so nice

Holding her , kissing her in delight ablaze

In  everlasting bond to cherish beyond any prize!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

She sits far yet so near, dear in heart

   

She sits far yet so near, dear in heart

Her presence peps me up so fast

Her image evokes fondness in me vast

Her blue eyes seem to speak thousand words sweet

Her pouting lips weaving  story of it’s own weft

Her soft fingers moving over the keyboard

Drawing me magically aboard

Sinking the distance so near, so cold

Her front features strikingly gold

Prompting to mull on her curvy back view, my God!

Love what I see what I hear, what I feel

Love this woman, love her deep, chill!

A woman intelligent, so soft and kind, swell!

An angel in my sky and horizon so tall

A blessing and gift to cherish a real deal!

Where was she all these days?

How come didn’t know her ways

Is what the gladdened heart says

Immersed in her light’s thousand rays

Staying on in her glorious love ablaze!

Let her sit, let her walk, let her roam

So snug, so sweet all in my heart’s room

Let her say million,trillion things in bloom

let the memories of her be in full boom

staying put, unswept by the brain’s broom!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

She stands merged into the beautiful sight

                  

Like the eye lids parting to let the light in

Like the clouds parting to usher the sun in

The greenery parted to see her in the beautiful sun set

In the moments of golden hue turning a mystical red delight

Ah!  She stands merged into the beautiful sight

The dazzling Sun dropping to comfort level to see

It’s rays brushing the sky in red tinge to glee

Bathing the waters in golden, red streaks spree

Birds flying, rejoicing in the milieu so care free

She stands basking in the sight before so happy

Sun, the sky, the water, the birds ,the greenery

All merging into a picture perfect scenery

She merges into it making it a full, complete mastery

Coming alive in sight ,mind and sweet memory

The sight unfolds, inspiring  awesome poetry!

Moments of sun rise, sun set come and go

Yet this moment stays in golden lingo

She adding her glorious presence ho, ho!

Sight to behold ,sight to cherish, full tango

Let set, let linger, let inspire, ringo, ting, tingo!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

I am a poet, now I am quiet

I am a poet, now I am quiet !

Taking a break? Yea, right

Breaking the silence is imminent  and bright

Break is just break from composing straight

For there is no break from thought chain the light

Behind the façade of silence, inaction, glitch

Myriad thoughts keep milling,so tasty to munch

Keep moving in bunch, readying for a punch

To outflow in a torrent  as full lunch

Some come together as nice brunch!

Yea  be ready for the poetic shower

Drenching you in words and lines super

Soothe your mind and soul softer

Emerging so sweet and melodious topper

Composing flies out to you so deeper

Poet staying quiet is lull before the storm

Gathering clouds , picking up winds vrrrooom!

Setting in motion the pleasant  breeze , tom, tom!

Stormy breeze, breezy storm so sweet boom,boom!

A pleasant shower on way from the quiet, chum chum!
