Another brother

K.V.SRIKANTH 1969 (Tamil Nadu)



Another brother to my brother.
Addressing him as I do.
Steam engine loaded with coal
The carriages about to roll
Year was 79.
I was all of 9.
Was acquainted with Chandy
Immediately realized was  life and soul .
An original at the core.
Older by years,
Could never make me his peer.
Charming And Friendly
Why would I be treated differently?
Video games or American Consulate
Was fortunate.
Impossible made Possible.
Intention as always noble.
40 years since
Never mentioned once
Showed the Class.
Dapper Astute and Suave
Watched with Awe.
Can one be all
If your Chandy it's not a Crystal ball.
Since Eighty One.
Decades passed one by one.
I am Fifty one.
Promise made to my brother undone.
 Be like him.
Has remained a pipe dream.
An honor to be an acquaintance.
Passionate about movies
I place above the mentioned qualities
Proudest I am,
For what are the odds.
To know someone
Who looks like Burt Reynolds.
Gripe I have against everyone.
Even Chandy is no exception.
Whatever your reasons are.
Why aren't you a movie star?
Birthday doesn't make you special.
Everyday does.
Happy Birthday.
Wishing you more and more Candles to blow.
May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.
My Mother sends her greetings.
God bless.
True Story
A million times I have asked my Brother
Why didn’t Chandy follow Sean and Roger

This is the first collection of my works. I am an avid film watcher and a movie and music buff. I would like to call them songs. As a huge fan of the Rock Scene of the 1970’s I have written these with the intention that they get converted into tunes and fill the air of music already existing. I have named this SONGS FROM THE HEART more…
