Hypnotized blindly in deep anger
A little seed of misunderstanding was sown
Eventually in the garden of love
A deadly mangrove of distrust was grown!

The profound faith in each other
Was turning into a mystique haze
While the fueling rumours were used
To set the gathered gems of memories ablaze!

It was just a matter of trust
Which would've prevented the abrupt adieu
But both now strive hard to extricate the labyrinth
As self dispelled in their infirm canoe!

This is my Kingdom,
I'm its Undisputed King,
You're not welcome here,
Still if you guys show up,
I'll teach you the definition of fear.

Each wrong move will cost you....

When the moon is full,
And the tides are high,
I'll leap out of the shadows,
To bring down the starlit sky.

When you are getting suffocated inside,
Emerge your roots out just like the mangroves.

Within the vicinity of Mangroves,
Even the tide stalks one,
Every now & then to death,
And not only the mudflat predators.— % &

Be the MANGROVES and learn to take breath in every critical situation.

Mangroves
It swirled and snarled
Swallowing us into it's guillotine's dark usurped slowly into serpentine falls
Lost into an abyss of mesmerizing charms
Being digested slowly in the belly of a river
Tasting its thrilling vistas
We were not being eaten but traveling
Reminded the boatman only in the last.

-

Are you at the bank of a sea ?
Lot of problems hitting you..
like the huge tides ?

Then you need some mangroves,
To reduce their intensity.

ಕಾಯುತಿದೆ ಒಂಟಿ ಪಯಣ
ಎಷ್ಟೇ ಆದರೂ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋಯಿತು ನೂರು ಜೀವನ
ಶಬರಿಯಂತೆ ಕಾಯುತಿರುವೆ ಈ ದಿನ
ಹನುಮನಲ್ಲ ಸಂಗಾತಿಗೆ ಕಾದಿದೆ ಯೌವನ
ನೀನೇ ಸಿಗಬೇಕು ಎಂದಿದೆ ಮನ
ಮತ್ತೆ ಯಾವಾಗ ನಿನ್ನ ದರ್ಶನ

zipped
frivolous anxiety
carried, but put aside
for she was
here in the
mangroves along mandovi
haggling with the weather
'nothing'
on the to-do list
