It is snowing in Kansas now, so I can clearly say… I am in Kansas. It is beautiful to see the spring time snow and all are happy around here too as we all know that this snow will not last long and spring, the beauty of all seasons will gain ground over winter.  Last couple of days we have had fantastic weather. Still lot of gloom on the face of people, many are losing jobs again. Yes the nightmare is back or I can say historical inevitability. Wasn’t this inevitable when policies of previous administrations made it possible to take jobs out of this country to countries like India, China, Brazil??.. damn you name it, we took it all over the world. Let me ask one question, what were they thinking, that money grows on trees here in America? They can make stuff cheaper out of this country and bring in here and sell forever? Without jobs there won’t be any money and without money nothing works. Our health care system, educations system, local government all are failing. Like I said just now, we all can point a hundred problems. Now my friends tell me what are you going to do about it? Fight more wars, pass bills that won’t do anything in the near future? Bring more immigrant workers like me in here? Believe me my friends…. It is not the fault of administrations, we are sleeping on a system that gave us a lot in the past and it just doesn’t work for us anymore. President Obama promised change and he not only learned but also taught us in the last one year, with the current system no change is possible. That is the truth both liberals and conservatives should accept and come together as Americans and change the system for the betterment of America as a whole.

   Those are my thoughts of the day after a night long debate with people in my late show on BlogTV. We talked about a lot more things in there. I don’t want to make a very long post here. I will speak about the other things we talked during the show in here tomorrow.

Here is a short poem I wrote as a facebook update.

Unleash the fires of passions mind told,
Break away the thorns filled chains that binds,
Hands and legs to a prison with five senses built,
Blast away the walls unseen, but every feeling makes it real,
Oh’ rejuvenated soul rebuilt the castle that crumbled,
With one loss. I.
 
Keep warm and if possible give warmth in words and deeds.

Evening update.
   Tuesdays are days when people are more productive at their work, do you know why? Because this is a day when nothing else works, so people do their job. Spring is in the air folks, pushing winter aside new sprouts are pushing their way into life. The very smell in the air is changing and I can see people jogging, walking with a thrill of just released from prison.  In a way I can say the earth is shaking away winter like a dog or cat shakes away water. Yup, lot of shaking going on around now California got a small quake. And I hear politicians shaking their head, Israelis and Palestinians are looking for new ways to harass each other, tech nerds are looking for new apps for their devices and a whole bunch of kids wandering around all confused and say… “Whatever” again and again and again.
   Life is beautiful like I said in my last post, it sucks for many and adorns some with good they define. In a way all are blessed every moment, it is in the way they take things that makes them feel good, bad, nasty or evil.  So those of you who feel bad look from another side where you are and what you are going through. It may interest you that life is showing its beauty unique to you.

Good morning.
    I wanted to post this poem in a morning and here I am in a morning. My promised poems as I said in a post couple of days ago is taking time to finish. Here I am posting materials from the so called “Romantic Age” of me hehehe. It all in many ways for many people may sound stupid. As for me that’s a wonderful life which made me who I am. Here is another poem. Enjoy.

The Blessing Of A Lovely Morning.

The whispers of the night,

Sighs and breath felt all over,

Skin upon skin, heart upon heart,

Merged into one, with passions firing from soul.

 

How wonderful it is to see you sleep,

As night through time step by step moved,

And dreams filled with you, I too slept,

 

The touch of lips upon mine erased the sleep,

And I saw the day waking behind you,

In sweetness spread from kisses you gave,

The morning ready to fly with wings all spread.

 

Like billions of doves flying all around,

Light danced and welcomed the day,

A day with promises born,

Yet, the first step to a lifetime ahead.

 

I saw no angels flying by,

I saw no glitters of blessings in the air,

The fantasies of love only heard and wrote,

Not stood as monuments for us to reckon.

 

All the wings of morning spread,

The Sun crawled up to heights and blazed,

House hold dust otherwise unseen now through creeping rays rose,

And through it all you walked with the morning glories in hand.

 

With the morning behind you and me in front of you,

In those eyes I saw the sparkles that left all in dark and dust,

Then I know who the angel truly is,

As the blessings glittered in your eyes that told,

How blessed I am in your love for me

Life is beautiful.. But at this moment of time, it sucks big time.

Knowing My Love For You.

Found a beautiful stretch of land,
Through which to trek I tried in the golden sands,
Oceans of passions wave on one side,
Mountains of emotions rose right beside,
The fruits from the trees so high so sweet,
The springs never ending flown crystal clear,
Birds as messengers flew back and forth,
Still to trek I tried all around.
The golden sands gave away and became quick sands,
The waves roared and to the shore galloped,
Mountains growled and rock from above slide,
Then I knew Oh’ deep in love with you I am, O’ my dear.

I am going through this incredible phase of my life trying hard to convince myself and people who cares, how simple minded I am. The problem is the world around is too complicated to understand someone who cares more spiritually than materially.

     A new set of poems are near completion so in the coming months you all will be able to see those poems here. That is another confusion in mind as the kind of style I write must change. From romantic poems to epic style is not an easy transformation. I may very well be booed by all when the first two three poems comes out. But hold your breath they are coming.

   Now this poem, last night I was watching REVERENDB show on blogtv after finishing my show. At that time I was browsing through some of my scribbles and found a line, the last line of the poem. Rather than writing from top to bottom this is a poem worked from bottom to top. The situation is very real. The lines that says about walking and running laughing are an adaption of a event I saw in a Malayalam T.V serial.

 

Enjoy the poem.

 

A Repenting Lover.

 

In a night with storms that sway,

Even stars that are far away,

Lightning in rhythms of thunders danced,

And all around the silent lands crashed.

 

You took hands of night and danced,

And spread the dark all around,

You made pain from every step you laid,

And into a soul whispered, loveless sonnets.

 

Ah’ why through those paths you ventured,

Why washed away the graffiti that symbolized,

What in the depths of heart felt, and conveyed?

And through a prism looked into dark skies for love?

 

Owls and bats at the first light back to their nests went,

There is nothing to express pain filled expressions to,

Rain washed away dirt from material existence,

The new born sun dried wet lands faster in kindness.

 

A thousand times to forgive you I prayed,

And any wrong thoughts from your heart faded away,

In laughs that echoed through the plains I walked,

Then ran as fast as I could from oneself to escape,

As none can shed a tear in forgiveness of my unaccepted love.

I started writing a new set of poems and oh my god, the theme away from Romance and Love seems to be hard to take. I wrote, rewrote and then thrown away all that I wrote now restarting in a new way. It is not easy to change styles which I learned in a hard way now. But I guess I will be able to adapt myself to a more narrative style in time. I am not able to focus a lot into writing as lot of other things with life kinda holds me by my throat. Well, I’ve been here before so I will get along with things. I guess everyone is okay out there. I thought this winter I may have another explosion with my poetry in new style, I promised my hard core readers that the new poems will come two weeks back. I am sorry folks this poet failed miserably in what he promised. But here is something I did with a bunch of pictures I got from couple sites. I made a video of my poem “The Essence Of A Lover’s Life”. Hope you all like it. It was made mostly for people who follow me on facebook and Youtube. But my xanga family, I can’t keep it only for them you are all always here with me, with love, with care and a lot of prayers. I love you all.

By the way my xanga friends who use facebook become a fan of me there http://facebook.lonelypoet.com my fan page cannot add you directly back as a friend. You become a fan of me in that link I will add you from the parent ID which is Sajumon Ashan. Those who use Youtube please subscribe to me there http://youtube.lonelypoet.com

You all enjoy what remains of the winter. The next Arctic blast is on its way to midwest…mmm I loving this cold..woo hoo.

Here is the video presentation of my poem Nursery Of Starts.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone.

Hi All,

   It was a week that put me in a drum and thrown me downhill. That’s what happens if one expects things to happen in a specific way and everything pauses. By Thursday I’ve thrown out all my expectations. Nothing much happened different. It helped me to get out of the drum and walk away.

  Terrible things happens around the world. One don’t need to speak about all of it as everyone is watching it all on T.V. Equally wonderful things happens in the world too. One need to be good investigative journalist to know those wonderful things. Looks like our T.V stations and media are making us addicted to calamities. But no matter what happens… it is better to smile and say “That what exactly we have at this point of time”

  I am a poet, people expect poetry in these posts.. hmmm sure new poetry will come next week.

  Here are some images that held my breath, made me smile, some just squeezed me from inside and some just shown me how lucky we are all.

What is going on in the world? I am not expecting answers that tells me the truth from anyone. I am not saying all are lying. What I am saying is people either don’t know the truth or don’t believe in the truth. There are people who believe they and some of their friends can achieve whatever they want in this universe, just because they believe, they have the talent to do it. Watch this video

Now I believe they know what I am talking about, how insignificant we are in this universe. In fact we know nothing about the universe in the first place, we don’t know what time is it even. So without knowing many just assume they know everything or start believing in space, time and dimensions.  
       Most of you maybe wondering where I am going with this post! Relax, you will see.
                When one look at the massive amount of time that passed us by one will think, “oh my god, are we at the end of it all” once more … Relax.. Don’t be stupid. Nothing is ending anywhere. Life as is may not exist. Life will come in another form in another way. I don’t believe in reincarnation, that is bullshit spread by Eastern ideology. My point is, life as we know is only a short amount of time and in this given time one should not waste even a bit of it.  There are other people I know who waste more time just wasting time than live it. It is like a straight person going to a gay club looking for fun. Just face the reality that came from the past and understand, there are hundreds of different ways one can live but your way was shown by days when you took the first steps of life. That’s the truth. However you always have a choice of believing in the truth or walking away from the truth.  
           Away from the thoughts I wrote above… Watch the video, if someone read my profile, in it one can see in the expertise part I said, “Making myself believe that I am mircro microscopic in this vast expanding universe.” I wrote that nearly 5 years ago. I don’t needed radio or infrared or space based telescopes or spend sleepless hours wrecking my head on the wall writing algebra all around the floor and ceiling to understand that. Just needed to look in the past. Like I said to the mother of my friend, “She can learn from the wisdom of past or from her own mistakes”. It just that… most of the people understood me wrong. Maybe some people will tell I am self boasting, ahahaha no I am not, just letting you know that, you and everyone who reads this can be far better than I am. The key is in the past, you need to look at it with an open mind. 
              Have a fantastic weekend everyone… mmm isn’t that predicting the future? naaa it is a wish and a prayer to God to make it happen to everyone who reads this and sent a smile upon the face of all of them.
