Thy Code, Neu Felles Errantes

anvituteja

All those who wander,

Are never truly lost,

However, fears I do not launder,

Everything comes at a cost,

Take, a peek, or two if you dare,

Though do not expect a welcome swell,

In fact, expect a few of snarl and glare,

For here, all kinds do dwell…

The horrors contained here, I do not sugarcoat,

Creatures, demons of all types,

Witches, traitors, liars, murderers, and turncoats,

Ones who’ll wait to eat, till you’re ripe,

I will no advice to be without fear,

For only fools and children are unscared,

Though I will say to not fear itself: fear,

Contrary to what popular opinion cared,

Now seven truths, I will give,

Never fear the dark, and what it may contain,

Never judge a person, by what they may misgive,

It is of utmost importance, A ledger you maintain,

For you must learn from sin and pay forgotten debt,

Never interfere in the natural order of life,

Else you must may the red price; three are now left,

Embrace, joy of the world, and swear to end all strife,

Be forever alone, as thy life may hold dear to the world,

To end with utmost importance,

For danger, dark and hate, no fear must you in your heart hold,

For there is light to be found, errantes, hidden perchance.

School Blues

anvituteja

Hier kann mann die Deutsches lesen – https://anvituteja.com/2021/05/24/schul-blues/
You can read the german translation here – https://anvituteja.com/2021/05/24/schul-blues/

I said with a sigh,

The syllabus is atrocious,

No, I’m not being precocious,

What do they expect?

That we must always be perfect!

I solemnly feel,

And I put on it a seal,

That the school has no heart,

Their words sting like a poison dart,

Exam after Exam,

The teachers have no mercy,

By the end of the day we can barely see,

Our eyes are crossed over with the flu of Orthonecee,

So much studying,

We’ll never hear them say class dismissed or ever hear the bell’s ding,

Sleeping in class is a no-no,

While not taking notes is your foe,

Taking a break is deadly,

Like the poison of Weedrosisly,

The fateful day will come,

When you cannot write anymore because your fingers are numb,

The terror is over,

You chew your nails

And pull your hair,

You bite your lip

For the result is here,

You are filled with fear,

As you look at your marks with a tear,

That you realize, You’ve taken the first prize!

Higher Power Series

anvituteja

This is a flash poetry series.

Higher Power I

Am I lied to?Is there some higher power I can cry to?What’s behind those smiles?Feeling like a puppet to your wiles,Tell me now, to my face,Will I ever be first in the race? ANVI TUTEJA -with you till the end of the line, pal-

Higher Power III

Every action monitored,Like everything I did mattered,Well, I’m flattered,But the challenges have left me battered,So as I lay here with my dying breath,I embrace you with open arms: death,Because whatever tortures you have waiting in your hells,Are nothing compared to the nightmares of being myself.

Beauty is Unity in Diversity

anvituteja

Diversity does not mean,

Everyone’s the same, in how we seem,

Diversity does not imply,

That we get together to celebrate or to cry,

Diversity does not promote,

Everyone painted with same coat,

No, Diversity-Unity, that is true,

But Unity does not mean, same goals, we will pursue,

Unity in Diversity, is life’s truest mantra,

Whether we believe in Jesus, Rama, Allah or even Santa!

Respecting each other’s differences, that is true joy,

Not making vicious comments or simply being coy,

The world is filled, with all kinds of races,

People from all cultures, religions, castes and graces,

Humans are not a box of perfectly matched 2B pencils,

Or a set of matched shiny utensils,

We are a bunch of mismatched sharpies,

But when one is threatened, we come together as an army,

We are all unique, but humanity is in our togetherness,

When God was doling out, he was very generous,

If He had intended, we would all be the one,

But we all stand under the same Sun,

Together, we can save the world,

Finally achieve the immortal-peace we have earned,

Learning from past mistakes,

The future is ours to take!

Nature does not discriminate,

State, colour and creed, it does not rate,

We are together and as forever such we shall remain,

Fighting together against pain, stain and bane!

Remember, Unity begins with You,

If not You, then Who?

Time Freeze

anvituteja

Why?!

Why am I stuck here,

Everyone has moved on,

Yet I’m a child so mere,

Everyone wakes at dawn,

Yet I can’t make myself,

Move till noon,

Everyone manages time themselves,

Yet I don’t study till exams are too soon!

Why am I still stuck, an adolescent,

Everyone is stiff and serious,

Yet I do everything for amusement,

I am so tedious,

Under work pressure, I lament,

But everyone is as fast as lightning,

I want to mingle with everyone,

I wish in lessons we could sing,

All I want to do is have some fun

Why has the universe left me behind,

Everyone is prim and proper,

My own happiness, I must find,

They all have just one goal – to be the topper,

They behave like adults,

But now, playing seems like a con,

Everyone has joined their own cults,

But will come a day when I must move on,

What must I do, to get out of this time freeze,

I shan’t worry about the future,

I take things like a breeze,

I must find happiness in a sense of fun

I say this, being quite demure,

Adulthood has come to lure

And I’m absolutely, completely, sure,

Laughter is the only cure!!!

Prisoner

anvituteja

I have become a prisoner in my own home,

Confined, there is no where I can roam,

I fear, I will spend an eternity alone,

It seems, far too many a loan,

From mother nature dear,

Now, it has come to pass; Our greatest fear!

I feel trapped in the soul of my own,

Any rash behaviour, I do not and never will

condone,

Beyond these 4 walls, I cannot hope to see,

I feel my sanity, slowly moving away,          

Drop-by-Drop, Inch-by-Inch, Like an inky black

shadow that cannot hope to stay!

It All Made Sense To Me

anvituteja

When you showed up at my door,
In the cold October snow,
With the dimples on your cheek,
And the freckles on your chin,
It All Made Sense To Me,

When you showed up in the rain,
In my apartment b’hind the lane,
With a trembling little puppy,
And your sun-kissed drenched skin,
It All Made Sense To Me,

When you showed up with your mother,
In the scorching hot Virginia summer,
With your cheeky-little smile,
And your scrunched-up bunchy brows,
It All Made Sense To Me,

When you showed up in the storm,
With your sister in my dorm,
With your sparkling bright-green eyes,
And your dark tanned skin,
It All Made Sense To Me,

And then I showed up in the spring,
With a velvet box and a ring,
It All Made Sense To Me,
Yeah, It All Made Sense To Me,
‘Cause we were meant to be.

Opposites Attract

anvituteja

The sun to my moon,
The order to my chaos,
The ying to my yang,
We were closer than close,
At our worst we were better than most,

It happened in a flash, just way too soon,
We were together on a sun-kissed dais,
Then as the twelfth chime rang,
You melted into dust, in neat little rows,
And I stood there dumb-founded, pondering what I had just lost,

The Ma’at to my Isfet,
The North to my South,
The Sea to my Sky,
I can’t be with you, and it hurts to let you go,
But you’ll always have a piece of, you’ll always have a piece of my heart,

Thought I was all set,
Not a single sound escaped my mouth,
If you asked me to know if I was fine, I’d lie,
I would’ve swam all the oceans just at your say so,
It happened in a flash, like a shot from a poison dart,

The good to my bad,
The calm to my storm,
The law to my anarchy.
