- To be, thoghtless, is what I want
For thoghts oft torment
Of money , status, health
Fear of death seeming near
And how we failed by a wrong move
That has cost us heavy
Wreacking havock on our little ones
For no fault of theirs,
Thoghts and thoughts galore
Overpowering nerves
Why , many of those ghastly feelings flee
As we manage sleep somehow
Burying the old in a dreamy state
For they should not have bothered
As much I , wish them to go
Leaving me in my kingdom
Just the way I am, thoughtless…

Sleepless
I may look at you
endlessly, creases of your eyes serpentine
Till the night blossoms into morn ,
I may wipe all your tears
Till dew drops dry
My loving hands touching
Each fold of petals soft ,
I may keep awake all night
Sleep ditching me
To look at you so
Your soul to steal a march on me
Mesmerized me
my mind spellbound
I may drink all the poison
To free you
From the bondage of a clinging snake
To look at you endlessly
creases of your eyes serpentine…
Why you hurt
You hurt me so
Do not know why
You hurt me, so
You, hurt me
Like a flower
My demeanour
Soft as petal
You hurt me still
In many different ways
Could not figure out
To this day
Whether it was called for
My hapless being
Totally at your mercy
O God dearest
You made me so
Was that called for
Someone to ill treat
Me, my hapless being
My mind shivering
My mind shivering
Rising upon to a new day
Feeling grumpy without nicotine
Perhaps it now seeketh, a change
To feel like yesteryears
O’ is it a change of place or clime
that may do the trick
Or a holiday to break the routine
My mind shivering
Between two extremes
To be or not to be , to go or just hang in
Perhaps I shall one day find
My green pasture
Muddy with marsh mellow
My mind shivering
The mountain on one side
The lake on the other…
A chance meet
It was a chance meet
churning out surprises for me
She was on her way to hell
Aboard a train tossing and turning
She mustered enough courage
To alight and sit
To tell me about her plight
That she was on her way
to see someone ,she never liked to marry
As night engulfed with dim lights
With an earnest look in her eyes
A sleeping beauty that I seldom see
A face aglow with reflecting light
O that train has lost it’s route
Amid shrubs of desire long since
The blood stain refuses though
On an overnight satin…
Emotional Blackmail
Emotions, O feelings of being helpless
Our destiny writing for us
How we bow down before emotions !
If on the other hand ,we take up cudgels
Not to bow down before anyone
Not even emotions,
telling enough is enough
Can we do that
someday when we shall
Write our own destiny
And our emotions taking a backseat
By then we surpassing
All tests that could ever be
To overpower , to kill
Emotions vainglorious
Be not proud thou ever be..
Meaningless
It may be anything
A sprawling bunglow
Or a limousine
It may be eden garden
Yet , it is meaningless
Without your stupid enough ways
Which I love more than anything !
I love you for what you are
Not what you should be
Yes, you made me what I am
Today and forever
Being by my side
Whether heaven or hell
They lending a meaning
To everything
But for which,it is all
Meaningless…
Two thousand seventeen
A year is gone
After all , in a matter of days
A year is gone
leaving memories galore
A year is gone
Of grief and gumption
Of joy and celebration
The carnival , the picnic
Of apple pie and turkey
The cold nights writ large
Upon days hectic-
Yet , that icing on the cake
bold and beautiful
Says quite loud and clear
A Merry Christmas
Then a Happy New Year…

Parting Thoughts
-
They’ve all gone, one after the other
they all formed a family together
they’re no more ,vanquished by time
those who lived ,life in it’s many splendor
time is so valuable ,one may scarcely believe
it spares none ,rich poor alike
I feel restless, lest I should miss
the last bus the last bloom that be
I may forgo the last feast
or the last kiss savor
and a glimpse of my lovely cottage afar
that i shall not visit any longer
I want to shower, all my love
the darling souls those remember
That I did all I could !
parting thoughts, before parting ever …
For a long lost friend
Yout heart nestling
Deep within, beneath
the deepest confines
Call it an artery
Or arota if you like
O that once beat
Skipping a beat or two
For my smile captivating
and now ! after ages have passed
as I reminisce, alone
-is all well with you
all these years
has it been nice to you
keeping you as stout, as hearty
-to greet me once again
With the same cheer
the same vigour
And at least ,to look upon me
with a kind smile
that comes from deep within
Your heart nestling
Yes,how have you been…
