Duo

What a coincidence!
Today Dara Singh
Died and today
Was my children's
Sports Day!

Reminds me
Once again
That sports
Would go on
So would life

And these stalwarts
Who are well-renowned
Wrestlers can win every
Championship in life,
And remain defending
Champions for life...
But when it comes to
Grappling with death

Homosexuality

This is the
Age of
Open
Homosexuality.

It's slowly
Losing its
Promiscuity.

It's becoming
As prevalent
As heterosexuality.

I don't know
What the fuss
Is all about…

As long as
The person
Is old enough

Thought

Thought
You would be hanging
On the tree
For me to see you :)

Thought
You would be floating
In the sky
For me to see you

Thought
You would be swimming
In the sea
For me to see you

Thought
You would be climbing
Up the wall
For me to see you :)

Honesty

Honesty
Has no
Place -
In this
World.

When I was
Honest -
With you,
And told you
How much I
Loved you…
You said -
Never to write
Such thoughts
To the one
You love,
But to write
Someplace
Else, for instance,

Hide 'n' Seek

I went to this room
That room,
Bathroom,
Bedroom,
Drawing room.

No room did I
Leave empty -
To hide from thee.

But no matter
Where I went -
You followed me
Persecuted me
Sought me…
Like a stranger
Seeks a shelter
In an unknown
Place.

Beyond

Devouring my body
With ravages of his
Passion, he seems to
Possess me.

I let him be happy
With this illusion.
And he plunders me,
Pillages me…
In his captivity.

Beyond the realms
Of this ravaged body,
My mind and heart
Wander soul-free
Looking for you
My Beloved.

In the eternal quest
For their true love’s

Poems

Have you noticed
That some poems
Are like touch
And go…
They just flow…

Some others
Are like babies
Throwing
Tantrums…

You keep going
Back to them…

They keep
Pestering you
With their
"Correct Me"
Cries…

Face

When I see your
Dimpled smile :)
Twinkling* eyes
Glistening grin!
Naughty wink ;)
And the stubbled chin
Of a day old shave.

I feel like making love
To your Adonis Face
With kisses and caresses.

Tracing you with my
Touches...through the
Ruffles of your hair
The contours of your
Visage ~ to the
Curls on your nape
Down the deep trenches
Of your tempting throat.

Book

If I write a book,
Would I approach
You to write its
Review?

Why?

If my book is
Worth reading,
Wouldn't you be
Tempted to write
Its review?

Why should I
Use you for its
Marketing and
Publicity?

If you like my book,
You'll yourself feel like

Diwali

They saw and heard
The sparklers
Burning bright.

They saw and heard
The rockets
Zipping past the night.

They saw and heard
The fountains going
Whoosh!

They saw and heard
The various aerial
Displays that lit up
The night sky with
Their colourful arrays.

And you ask me, dear
What all fireworks
