Possess
You don’t need to
Possess me.
I am, I was, I will
Always be yours…
Even if you release me ~
Into this gargantuan universe,
I’ll remain with you forever more.
And even if I go
For a stroll...
Here and there, and
Everywhere…
You know that I would
Come back to you,
And to you alone.
As my world begins with you...
And ends with being within you.

The Fog
The fog outside,
Is it denser than
The fog inside?
I asked my mind.
It winked and
Told me ;)
Probably, it's a
Yes or a No,
I don't quite know!
But don't you worry
About this fog, Dear
It will soon clear up
In time, let it keep
Hanging outside or
Dangling inside ;)
The Sun is

So Much
I remember
Years back
When I had
Just 25 poems
In my booty
I used to
Look up to
Some of my
Friends
Who had
More than
80 and I
Used to
Wonder:
Oh, my God!
How can they
Write so much!
Now that I
Have more than

Partiality
It’s a weird world.
You kill thousands
Of people, win the
War, come back
Home. You are
Hailed a hero.
You kill one person
In your personal enmity.
You are branded
A murderer.
It’s amazing
How we ‘humans’
Killers of so many
Animals for food
And science,
Judge one another
As per our lop-sided
Self-serving, laws of

Make-Belief
Have you seen
How hard it is
For us to keep
Motivating -
Our youngsters
To do well, to excel
In sports, academics
And extra-curricular
Activities…
When we ourselves
Keep floundering
To make a success
Of our business,
Our office, our
Careers and our
Relationships…
Yet we don't learn
From our experiences…
And this endless cycle

Conversation
You write
Mediocre,
He told me
I told him
Go and
Read -
The superb
Writers, don't
Read me ;)
He said:
I was only joking
To rub you the
Wrong way ;)
I love your poetry.
I said:
Let me put it
The right way.

From Me To You
Warm, loving wishes
soft tender kisses
a mouthful of smile
from me to you
A soul-stirring song
making love long
till the end of dawn
from me to you
Giving you love
and lots of courage
a simple promise
from me to you
Being your wife
having borne your son
endless gratitude…
from me to you

Easter Break
I've come back.
Will go again
Next week -
For another
Holiday :)
As the children
Are having their
Easter Break.
Schools are closed.
But I'll surely
Come and have a peek
To see what your
Poems have to say
As I know the best
That make it to
Ed's Choice
Will surely
Make my day :)

Secret Lovers
All these men
Will keep secretly
Writing to you
And keep secretly
Meeting you
But in public
Will vehemently
Deny, ever having
Known you…
They are at ease
Being your secret
Lovers…as long as
They can maintain
Their secrecy…and
Save their reputation
But they'll cower away
From public view, never
Wanting to be seen with you,

I Am Your Sinner
You opened the door
you let me in
I trusted you
and so did you
The trust prevailed
as the night began
I seduced you
through and through
Who was to blame?
God only knew
The time was just right
I was dying to feel you
I am your sinner
Yes – it is true
you loved me
I lusted you
