The Size
meaningless
expectations and aspirations
living in dream world
trying to reach limitless sky
today’s homo-sapiens
live
discontended
with diseased mentality
incurable
looking down upon others
but fearing darkness
yet feigning to be invincible
ballooning to its seams
and getting buried
underneath.

Dreams Unplugged
Unmaterialized condensed thoughts
melting
metamorphosed into liquid shapes
of
desired desires
reflections in disturbed water
mirror images of a broken one
mirage abetting illusions
subconsciously
connecting finite with infinity
failing to differentiate between
truth and untruth
real and unreal
yet dream, I dare.

An Etheree- Living Dead
I wished him
Happy New Year
he smirked and beckoned
took me to hutments behind
tall concrete buildings dwarfing human beings
famished comatosed female lying devoid of feelings
puzzled and shocked, looked to him for explanation,
“ raped by drunkards from that society of yours, Sir
I die every day, now wish me Happy New Year.”

Silence!
Silence is golden
hush being the buzzword
noise gets frozen.
Silence is deafening
martyr’s pyre, waiting to lit
last post sounding; goodbye
Silence is absolute
cat out of the bag
a minister’s heart sag.
Silence is corrupt
abetted by the hammer
justice denied to an innocent
Silence is routine
scams after scams
yet none looses sheen.

Morning Newspaper
Recipe for intellect
A game for brain
News and views
Browse with pleasure or disdain.
Crimes of passion
Vagaries of politics
Sporting brilliance
Business frolics.
Love or hate
Ah or wow
Emboldening people
A must for both classes or masses
Isn't it true
Day starts afresh with it
Taking morning tea
Or going to loo.

Parents (a poem to sing)
Owning lands
moist soil
farmers
vow to sow.
Spreading seeds
all over
for healthy plants
to grow.
Watering the saplings
fertilising
good
for the health of plants.
Pruning them
and then
amidst the Godly chants.
Buds blossom
into flowers
fragrance
spreading
to and fro.

Egoistics
Impenetrable darkness at midnight, shrieked
when a beloved sang a sad song of separation
moon disappeared on lunar day
sky wept in appreciation.
Fire ranged in the forest
waves stopped, to rest
air chocked suddenly
withering flowers, untimely.
everything went topsy-turvy
as lover did not come.
EGOISTIC attitude
becoming obstructive
in union and fortitude
decades are spent
In lament.

Lonely Lover
Aloof I am and far from you
coasting along,
lonely in a boat
waves of thoughts surge me ahead
with remembrance as an oar,
I row.
Goal being that shining star,
destiny, I know not
sucked into the whirlpools,
are my wandering thoughts
entangled in the vicious maze of memory,
you brought.
Lost if I am,
search for that elusive pearl
on the pretext of finding a shell
reach me
even if it takes eternity.

Old Is Always Gold
Saved for the rainy day
opened the treasury
out came an old PARKER
still stalking
a glassy black beauty.
Sheets of paper
feigning to be white
without any malice,
margins and lines
showing signs of jaundice.
Yellowed dampness
of hard bound diary
thanking for redemption
and
praying for salvation.
Taunts also heard loud and clear,
‘take some rest
