The Need!
The plants need water,
The bees need nectar,
The earth needs a heater,
The stage needs the performers,
The hearts need the care,
The wind needs the odor,
The body needs sugar,
The mind needs an entertainer,
A house needs a father,
A home needs a mother.

A Teasing Heart At Stock Market
My heart beats faster,
Whenever I see the signal,
It is winging at me,
It is teasing me relentlessly,
It is spoiling me uncontrollably,
Are the positive signals
Green in color?
Yes, It is green.
Why does the racing heart,
beat faster than ever,
When the signal is red?

The Hearts!
If the heart is made of gold,
We can sell it to get the profit.
If the heart is made of diamond,
We can cut and polish it.
If the heart is made of polyethene,
We can hold it as an inert umbrella.
But the heart is made of flesh and love,
Don't hurt, cut, polish, use and sell it.

the smell of coffee and Fried chickens!
Our cultures have different flavors,
That may be liked or disliked,
Our nations have different smells,
That may be admired or disdained,
Our bodies have different odors,
That may attract or repel,
The human idea of selling flavors,
Really sell everywhere from the franchises.

As A Moon Tries To Be A Sun!
as a turkey tries to be a peacock,
showing its short colorless plumage,
as a cat tries to be a tiger,
showing its canine to terror the rats,
the slimy worms lift their heads,
to show their tiny body thinking as cobras,
a dirty moon tries to be a sun,
flashing the reflected fading light.

a garden of STARS above our heads!
The little flowers at night,
Blinking and twinkling in delight,
A garden above our heads,
Disappears when the day awakes,
No one waters, cares and nurtures, ,
To bloom again at dusk,
Never wilted or strained,
no fragrance with limited hues,
Stay and smile afresh,
with no stalks and leaves.

Inheritance
Don't blame me,
for staying alone.
Don't blame me,
for abandoning you,
in the Garden.
Don't blame me,
for crucifying you,
with my words and deeds.
Don't blame me,
for the sacrifices,
that you have done for me.
As I resemble the Creator,
who created me on his own image,
I have inherited His characters.

Parental Love
If I keep you under our wings too long,
warmth you feel, but not grow along,
you may lack the confidence,
need someone for guidance.
Love in our hearts,
want you to achieve,
Love in our hearts,
want you to be more matured.
Love in our hearts,
can bear this silence,
Love in our hearts,
made it tolerable.

The Strength
Tears may wash away the dirt from the eyes
and the hurt from the heart.
Fear will wipe away the courage from the heart,
and fill the eyes with tears.
Fear is worse than tears, as it hurts the heart,
Tear is better than fear, as it heals the wound,
Give up the fear and the tear,
when our heart is stronger than ever.

Once dear and near! !
Evidences are erased,
notes are shredded,
gifts are donated,
tears are shed,
cries are cried,
curses are cursed,
story is repeated,
shoulders are felt,
lesson is learned,
months are gone,
but the memory not lost,
the memory may fade,
faded memory will fade away,
once dear and near,
becomes forgotten and far.
