Neighbours

Neighbours
Are
Not going away
So better be
Near
Neighbours

Go slow

When one is happy
And when one is not
When one is counting
What one has got
When it is time
To come, or to go
Then it is time
To chill and be slow
Real slow.

Life is short

Collect a grudge
Score a distress
Life is short
Why make it less ?

Born again Dead

You pseudo secular, you !
He said with contempt
Of a born again
Dead

Din and Devotion

As Lord Ganesha came
With pomp and ceremony
In my house and outside
In versions so very many
I wondered why His fans
Want to turn Him deaf
With din standing for devotion
Mumbo jumbo, shit load of faff
For worship is a private
Silent matter for the devout
Between him and his maker
No place for noise, no doubt.

Discipline

Discipline, let's do that
On time, every time
But let's do something wild
And just for once let's not rhyme
Oh shit, I just did that
Damn discipline, you copy cat !

Each day is an opportunity

Each day is an opportunity
For experiences thus apprised
Each night is the reward
For deeds done and tried.

And then there was silence

And then there was silence
The one all could clearly hear
By the seashore, on top of a hill
Beginnings of the ends of fear
Not away, but close by, very near.

The rest wasn't a famous victory

It was a poem I was looking for
To write, for you to read
Before I knew, it sprung up
Like a whacked & wakened seed
Having done that it looked at me
And the rest wasn't a famous victory.

Feeling cattish

Once upon a time
There lived a cat
And felt like one
Doggedlly.

They said, you wait...

01.

They said
You wait
And I did
On tables.

02.

They said
You wait
I did
Why wait

What is better

What is better
Bitter or sweet
Advance or retreat
Script or shoot
Welcome or the boot
Depends on the act
Fiction or in fact.

Un-Verse

I have decided henceforth
Not to thrust verse
On you or worse
Harmful as it is
To the peaceable army
Of the disaffected who will rise
Against this horrid disguise
Of a verse.

Man who loved life

He was
A man
Who loved
Life
And its...
Strife
But
Wished for
Harmony
Milk and honey
Sugar free
Such was he.

Yoon dar maut se jeene ka maja kaisa hai

Ek Aur Aaj Baaki Hai

People Matter

I like people
Sometimes I do not
But at all times
They matter
For worse or for better.

The wise have the last word

The wise have the last word
The foolish have the first
I have whole sentences
Some better than the worst.

I am glad to be happy

I am glad to be happy
And am sad to be sad
As the seasons all want spring
Making rain and sun feel bad.

Happiness is

Happiness is
A morning walk
An evening tea at the canteen
A prime time tearjerker on TV
And a washing machine load of ...
Soiled clothes.

Long back, and now

Long back
When they were not that far
I had wanted the moon
And the early to bed
Morning star...
Now its time
To lay those interstellar dreams
To rest
Cause now I know
That mothership Earth
Does it near
And does it best.

You are, who you think you are

You are, who you think you are
Now quite near, now further afar
What you post, and what you delete
Is merely the tip, of a life so much more complete....

(response to Namrata Siviya's post:

Opinions, vacations,
Food that I eat,
Calories spent.
Every tiny feat.
Am I,
what I post and what I delete?)

What's on my mind, Facebook

There is lots on my mind, Facebook
And so much more in my heart
But why shouldI tell you any of that
How do I live, and how indeed do I fart ?

(Even though, truth be told
You already know the bald and the bold)

Let the day begin

Let the day, the week, begin
With promises to keep
And broken ones to mend & pin.

A question is born, a dilemma resolved...

A dilemma is resolved
For a question to be born
As night follows day
And dusk follows dawn
Lets ceaselessly seek...
And let sometimes cease
Let things come to an end
For them to increase.
