Silence

You kept a long silence
I too maintained the same sense
What an impasse, incising the loving hearts
Next meeting may be really exciting
But! Alas! waiting is always excruciating

Happy New Year

Let the dawn
of New Year glow
In a divine halo
Let our minds buoy
in peace and joy
Like free flying doves
In the skies of love
Ushering into an era
Full of promise
and bliss

Auction

New clearance sale! ! !
Satan brokered the deal
A salvo from nuclear arsenal
Knocked down bid final
Mr. Hades clinched all
Body wrappers are buried
Spirits are…… under dispatch

Anger

Anger irks me!
I abhor persons
Who show tantrums

Not that I don’t get angry
I too loose temper
At timid lambs
Those who bend their heads
To butcher’s knife,
Without a fight

Fall Guy

People make fun at me
My eyes glassy; nose stubby
Skin inky and body burly
A fall guy I am
An ugly effigy; a zany!

I too boo at Almighty

'Hey! You went astray!
While shaping my clay! ! '

Pet Snakes

Suckle with milk
Snakes don’t thank
Sting your own nipples
Buck up recusants
They kick your own backs

Friends of abutting tract
Beware of abetting freaks
First sparks start
In your own park

Mud slinging

Trying to defame others

You prove how mean you are

The mud you are ready to sling

May or may not scare

That humble human being

But look at your self, my dear

You are neck-deep in slimy mire

Journalists

The smart
Reveal a bad news
Tactfully

Journalists
Listen to it
Cheerfully

But don’t
Misjudge
Their class

Blame them not
Nay! Nay! Nay!
After all
There are not
Accessories
To the crime

They are just

Brutus

At him, you are heaving your stick
But shouting ‘ahas’ and ‘ohos’ with throes
I thought “this man is a hoax”
But you’re as honorable as Brutus
I found the other end of that long baton, alas
Right in between your two legs

He And I

He keeps watching
My coming and going
He paves my path
Makes me walk
But often tethers
And blocks

By turns, I rejoice
And curse

Of late I realized
When I obliged
To His ways
An instant blue Monday
Endows in prospect
Many a Halcyon days
