oh! human  please don't come to my proximity
you never behaved like a gentle man and forgot the basics
you promise many a time but won't try to keep to it.

I  saw your promises floating on waste water flows
and i find no courtesy in you to show sympathy
toward your own clan who are down trodden.

you took away all their smiles spreading your selfishness all the while
and gifted them sheer plastic smiles without  needed elasticity

I  am deeply hurt with your selfish acts and deeds
never come nearer to me and pollute my serenity my dear!!!
========================================================

I  don't need a religionwhich normally preachesbut doesn't insist on practising.So i see religion as a beliefand should be respected in all fervorbut not to be blindly followed  just in imitation.
The faith must resonate in heart and souland need not spring out from the scriptureswe possess as  hard copies in hand

Let us all go soft on the matters of mutual interestand strengthen the hands of secularismliving freely  and frankly with humane spirit in soul.

From deep within
--------------------------
Flooding waves crash through the shoreline
and onlookers sometimes may feel frightened
for the ferocious high decibel of sounds
originated from deep within the sea.

Frothing sea, every time surprises me, in all stances.
The crystal clear white color, symbolizes purity of its soul
and stands as a guiding principle to all living beings
to stay pure in all chores of life and be vigilant
to take care in case of need .

Loving couple and dating youth prefer to spend summer evenings at the sea side, 
enjoying the weave of waves and swim ahead in streams of delight,forever

shower of hospitality
===============
Exactly in the center of the city it flies high
as a recently built skyscraper
The supposed semi Gods roam about in white dress.
and the smiling nurses treat the patients with love and affection.
Though the screeching sounds of stretchers make the hearts to miss some beats.

The nauseating smells of chloroform ,make some delicate ones, to vomit .

The in patient beds look luxurious with all facilities to recline .

It seems to me like a heaven managed by angels deputed by almighty.

Though the charges levied are a bit above board,the insurance cover saves me.

Yes health is wealth unless until we report sick for some instant reason or other.
All the attending staff at the hospital are to be thanked for their shower of  hospitality 

In all phases of life
========================
Not caring for others' exhilarated antecedents
I  love to live on your avowed passion.
I like the way you treat and deal with other humans
and very much impressed by your life stances
springing  very well on austerity columns.

Luxury never stays  for longer stints
 and will not co exist with safety and security.

I am very much impressed with your daily chores of life
and am enchanted with your confidence in devotional traits.

I  hope and desire thoughtfully, to sail with you
and decided to assist you in all phases of life.

Deeds not the words
=================

When religion is considered as a strong belief

let us sail  softly on pious waters,not polluting the faith of others.

Let the quotes of scriptures spring out

from the dedicated heart and devoted soul you possess

and need not fall out  from the hard copy, you hold in your hand.

Believe in spreading of messages which  you experienced

in the daily walks of your destined life.

What all matters is not the love and affection you read out

but in the way you express in  deeds respect of your brothern 

from the lower strata of society who move around you

 Mad for each other
================

On one hot summer day
The heart of my better half got
entangled  completely in my chords
and there after , carefully unwinding the twists,
I simply smiled at her in joy and delight.
She responded in extreme ecstasy
and the bonds between us  were made more  stronger
to result in mad for each other  relation ship

 Brightening the environment.
============================
Flowers will never  utter lies
The lake that flows nearby  doesn't make horrible sounds.
The nature of women,  i feel , will also behave  in delicate and enterprising ways
But you showed me the other way round and  acted vehemently.
I  nevermade any  advances my steps towards you with any signs of  sprints of love
but you yourself made me to closely follow you at all times
and ultimately fooled me with your characteristic dragnet .

What have you gained from all this villainous role you played on me?.

You stole all my unpolluted smiles and also categorically weakened my chords of affection  by  severing all my limbs of fraternity.

Since four decades my wounded heart spills occasionally lumps of blood
and soul ultimately decided to hate the words of LOVE.
I  firmly believe that when love fails at one point,  it reverberates at all other joints
expressing no regrets for the past deeds and finally hopes to rejuvenate the life's springs
with added vigor and esteemed vitality. with desires fruitfully
 extended to ensuing times erecting welcome arches with all colors brightening the environment.

=============================================================================

The woman with lots of patience and courage

can  dare to  encounter any cruelty , she comes across

in daily chores of her life.

After going many ordeals with men folk

She learns  all possible tricks and sports

to enable her,  to face of any type of emergency

she is now carrying pepper spray and packet of chilli powder

with her in the vanity bag she holds on.

There after God has given her stamina to co habitat even with tigers

smiling all the way throughout her terrific and daring stance.================

After sending E-greetings to my grand daughter
on her birth day today[20th march]
 we sent  by courier some jewellery made of one gram gold
which brightened  her face and we found today her joy now  knew no bounds.

The higher end value of the gift you present doesn't matter  to a child
but to catch hold of her the heart beat
 in deciphering their likes and dislikes plays a vital part.

the child today we saw swimming in streams of ecstasy
 in accepting this cozy  gifton her fourth birth anniversary.
======================================================

Either the bud or the flower may have thorns
to protect the beauty of it from any onslaughts
But we continue to love the flower min all the sweetness
and readily praise its sheen and softness of its petals
That is the real charm of life in loving the creation and nature
on their own planks.
let us in the same way extend our warmth to wards other humans
that stay and sway around us,  in many patterns and designs
defining the life and love in the true and real terms,and delightfully
enjoy the streams of love in many a way we come across.
=====================================================

Distinct entity
===============

Obsessed with lots of ego and envy
i  failed in all attempts,    which I  tried in the past
and couldn't forget the injuries , my ill fate inflicted on me.

All my graceful energy and good name earned till now
slowly vanished in the columns of time.
now leaving ahead  all the extra  odds that frighten me,

I  pray the Almighty to shower HIS benign blessings on me
treating me,  altogether , as a distinct and entertain me  in different ways
================================================

They say... Life's a game that never plays fair

 I say... it is like a play of snakes and ladders
where ups and downs
are nothing but natural in the game

Twoloving birds
make hay in all seasons
without finding any reasons
to stay apart.

one day a strong gale
erupted without a prior warning
the two love birds escaped unhurt
but their loving hearts had a hard beating.

The next winter made their relation go still worse
the male bird said what is all this nonsense.

the nature is fed up with valentines
making more strides but lack of sincerity.
so it created these gales to hurl the lovers to move apart
and slowly depart from their chosen path
because they incurred all  the creator's wrath
============================================
Drop by drop
the water flows
down, from the hillocks
and sedimentary [hard] rocks.
but not adequately
enough to quench
my un ending thirst.
===================

I  prefer to sing a song
to entertain your mind and soul.
I  prefer to draw a portrait
to exhibit your moon like image.
I insist on choosy words
to write a poem highlighting our love streams.
I describe your patience, to compare it that of a sea.
I  kindheartedly appreciate your height of wisdom
to stand erect constantly as that of a mountain.
your heart at all times, beat serenely the word love love and love alone.

Exactly in the center of the city it flies high
as a recently built skyscraper
The supposed semi Gods roam about in white dress.
and the smiling nurses treat the patients with love and affection.
Though the screeching sounds of stretchers make the hearts to miss some beats.

The nauseating smells of chloroform ,make some delicate ones, to vomit .

The in patient beds look luxurious with all facilities to recline .

It seems to me like a heaven managed by angels deputed by almighty.

Though the charges levied are a bit above board,the insurance cover saves me.

Yes health is wealth unless until we report sick for some instant reason or other.
All the attending staff at the hospital are to be thanked for their shower of  hospitality 

Flowers  speak to me saying that love is always great
The thorns that sprout around talk to me differently
stressing that failures in love may  sting you painfully.

The lake that flows around admits that love is graceful
and it experienced it while accommodating birds on its waves
but displeases me , by underlining the pathos,  when water flows go dry

Spring brings in hope and stresses the ecstasy enjoyed in love time,
but puts its finger towards autumn which makes the trees to go nude beautifully

love and pain appears to me like two sides of a coin and when tossed up
if you get all what all you chose.  you stand as a winner in loving life ultimately

Try not to put an adhesive plaster
on my wounded heart.
Leave me alone and allow me
in swim the ocean of sorrow
 completely   in loneliness..


You have unnecessarily blistered my candid opinion on you
it grew far and wide culminating in suspicion .

Why should I blame you ?
after all when you advantageously
have played on my grown sentiments ..

I  shall be extremely glad if you keep away from my surroundings
and necessarily leave me to offer prayers
 to Almighty to shower grace on me,

Sweetness filled nectar
fully dipped in sprints of delight
i love to live as a fine example
and in not less than fifty times
i wet your dried lips
my heart chants your name in umpteen numbers
and my soul prays for your love in million columns
==========================================

The smell of the soil quietly reached my nostrils
and the clouds on the sky space become so dark and thick.
and the peacock starts to open up its fan tail as umbrella
to protect its body from the incessant rain drops.
all the children begin to make paper boats to make them sail on water flows.

The barren lands start smiling at the rainy clouds
which definitely provide them needed succor .

The nude trees of Autumn times,  begin to get new dress in sheer  green
all the rain coats shuffled in ward robes move out to shelter the heads

 in all phases of life.
========================

Not caring for others' exhilarated antecedents
I  love to live on your avowed passion.
I like the way you treat and deal with other humans
and very much impressed by your life
springing  very well on austerity columns.

Luxury never stays long
 and will not co exist with safety and security.

I am very much impressed with your daily chores of life
and am enchanted with your confidence in devotional traits.

I  hope and desire thoughtfully, to sail with you
and decided to assist you in all phases of life.

I don't wish love to be an exhibit
available in museum hall
or a flying bird, whose address is unknown
I  hope to be a charming beat in the sounding  heart
and stream of ecstasy in the  serene and pious soul.

Though made of metal,
this art piece contains images of  heart
and clings more through the neck

Never it,  tries to go artless at any point,
as it mat be stripped away from the delicate and soft heart,
of the my fair lady,which it doesn't wish or contemplate.
This necklace receives messages from the moon during night times.
and from all favorable planets during day time.

Venus never flutters it away from streams  love and affection

two tears
dropping down
from my two eyes.
one for her
who sailed with me
comfortably and
departed in the midst.
leaving me in wilderness
uncomfortably.

 Another one for him
who made this irreperable
mistake, still  kept un reconciled
who is He? none other than God
in whom we repose confidence.
who disposes it confidentially
without leaving a chance
to recourse,
==========================

In memorium
=================

To day, my sobbing heart
is on the anvil and gets
ready to shed a tear or two.

At the most
what else can I do?
to find a fitting tribute
to that departed soul?

My tears at this juncture may look useless to you.
But now if they sparkle now
on the coffin of the dead body
who left this mortal body,
i feel it,  as a privileged one.

As long he lived, he too
shed tears,in the form of wet letters
in all his elegies written for all those
who were down trodden, ship wrecked
and of course for lorn ones too.

I  can 't do a little more than
what all he did to others in distress.
To remember him again and again
and to keep all of them in sweet portals
and above all and in the best interest of ourselves
i   should necessarily  do this act fearless and frankless.

Likefleet of caravan of colours

the mountain spree
exhibits a delightful face
on the eve of its upcoming
spring of ever green pastures

Underneath,a river flows ceaseless
with its streams running on inimitable speed
rushing through all the deserted and delighted areas.
crop fields are anxiously wait for these moments
to quench their longing quest to quench their thirst.

Below the slopes of these mountain range
two loveracaution themeselves  against the forecast of heavy gales
and likely hood of whirl winds in hours to come.
they sit firm on their love trenches dug by them to embrace loneliness,if need be.
They decided to take each and every step needed
to avoid any any slippage in future columns of times.

A full stop, the need of this hour
=============================

Let us stop from this moment
all the games we were playing henceforth.
they might have crept surrepptiously
into our daily walks of life
either with or without our knowledge.
we may win some times may loose
on many of thecounts!
 All our game plans have become out dated.
iam rather tired to try any one of them onceagain.
So please bear with us.let us completely put a stop
to all this game s and game plans in the daysto come.
let us both lead our lives
in peaceful tracks hereafter.
in the left over of the journey of our life
let us feel free frank ,fearless and comfortable too.
i hope you are in compliance with this serene proposal
and simply nod your head and fall in line with me.
