Inspirers --- As Gray as Gray Gets

After all this time Severus....Always Dumbledore, Always....

Eloquent are your words,
Poignant are your deeds,
Making me think, making me feel...
Inspiring, etching, and fulfilling;
Nothing like them, the treasures of my life...

Scathing are your thoughts,
Slashing through your actions,
Making me ponder, making me wonder...
Surprising, crushing, and demoralising;
How could you?, the curses that just don't stop...

Remarkable yet, is your achievement,
Worth idolising is your glory,
Making me determined, making me believe...
Efforts, satiation, and faith;
Greatness is never far, just one stop after the marathon of sweat...

Ambiguous are your memories,
Confusing is your legacy,
Making me reflect, making me retract...
Black, white and grey;
Define a perfect man, you never claimed to be anything else!

Raking down the flower beds,
Squashing flat the new formed buds,
Plucking serenity from its shrine,
Turning cruel towards an act of divine...

Killing scores and scores of mute green foundation,
Razing completely like illicit construction,
Lack of concern over greenery and sylvan beauty,
Making obvious, the worst kind of apathy...

Hunting fellow humans with a vengenance unsurpassed,
Except to devour, but to destroy till the very last;
Oft bringing merriment to the deed,
Not a single plea of mercy, paid any heed...

This is man, God's piece of creation,
His work and action, bereft of the maker's satisfaction,
Null and void of sharing and generosity,
Will the world survive such montrosity?

Roger Federer: The Man, the Legend

Glowing and Resplendent in the ultimate triumph,
Scores of hearts nudged to ecstatic pounding,
Winning- A mere word; not enough to describe what it meant that day...
The day you gave us a miracle of your own...

In sadness as in joy; standing by you
Restlessness turning to contentment; satiation in every pore...
In our hearts- you are, were and will be the champion...
Today, yesterday and Tomorrow...forever and ever...does time really mean much now?

Tears of anguish, tears of victory...everything you have shed,
From smiling in loss, to sagging in relief...each flicker of emotion etched in our memory,
Everywhere and anywhere, you are the King...
Roger Federer- Thy name echoes and permeates like never before...

If the sport were a galaxy; you are the Sun,
Lighting it like a life-giver in your sparkling glow,
A legacy bequeathed to the world across; 
Impatient eyes eager for more to unfold in its wake...
Sustaining and nurturing trust, you taught us to believe; 
with each passing day, that grows when we see you in full rythmic flow...

My mere poetic words, nothing else are these...
Your greatness merits something much more...
But how do I even try to epitomise your sublime sheen and spark?
Comparing and relating anything with you has become just so small!!

Fred...a void that can never be filled...

Days have passed...
A year has elapsed...
No meaning to seconds, minutes and hours...
No plaster to fill your still open wounded absence!!
My eyes don't glisten anymore...
They are parched and fatigued...
Just my mind questions; again and again...
Why were things done, the way they were??
Queries and answers, none coherent...
Each one of them makes me miss you all the more; you and your colourful banter...
But Whom do I turn to?
Your void... made me an atheist!!!
But yet...I will trudge,
Holding your memories close...
which, not even death...
Can snatch and rip to shreds!!!

Death is the final journey,
Breaking the heart of many...
Its Unpredictable
Its unavoidable
Is inevitable...
A permanent sleep
Making all weep...
Death is relief,
A relief from problems and unwanted belief;
A freedom,
Transcending beyond this world to the other kingdom!!

Friendship....

What is Friendship??
Friendship is unspoken, unforged love...
Its an unbreakable vow...

Friendship is trust,
Without which relationships rust...
Its immortal...
A gift from god..to us mortals!!

Friendship is resurrection,
In it, no expectation...

Friendship is loyalty,
Filled with morality...
True friends are rare,
Whose friendship is noble and fair!
