Best Relieving Poems
There are so many things we like to share
And bring love in to take away care
The best way to relieve stress
Is to remember the good times and happiness
We hear the words of grief and trouble
And we know that we can halve it and not double
We have been given the gift to see the funny side
With laughter and smiles so far and wide
Sharing our stories and kind words from the start
And the pleasure we bring will melt every heart
And help to heal loneliness, fear and pain
Then as we leave and please come again

RELIEVING STARVATION
The sky was amber, the sun to set
He walked in search of the regulars,
Exhausted, his temple covered in sweat
the street, kids role-playing ‘wrestlers’
Faces shone as they recognize
This humble man, from afar
With a package, beyond their fantasize
Kid shouts “here’s man with a scar!”
He bows to the old couples seated on the footpath
Lifts up the kid, embracing his knees
Who’s taken away for her routine bath
Before the feast would cease.
“It’s gruel, and gravy and paapad! “
The tiny boy shrieks.
All hands up in the air,
Like awaiting delicious treats.
Devouring the dainty but dear feast
Like it’s their last given morsel
Tame is even the roadside beast,
With gravy all down his torso.
He stood still perceiving the scenes
Fulfilment, from the filling guts
The eagerness, and how the bowls it cleans
The old couples retrieving to their huts.
He walks away like always
As happy as he could be
Feeding their own share to the strays
They pounce, face lit up with glee.
A leaky, creaky dump,
His very own humble abode
Flumps on the hay mat in the corner
That he himself sewed.
Scrapes the bowl, impatient.
Longing for some food
Ran out of his ration
To enlighten else’s mood
Life’s unfair he knows
For a minute he doesn’t regret
To witness their smiles he goes
Shares all food without a fret.
Recalls the smiles of the homeless,
Their blesses in murmurs, even tears
He thanks almighty for the roof above
Rests his eyes, conceives about the world, how
Some stomachs remain empty
Some full to the brim
Some full with sufficient
Some merely happy.

Rhyme
So many packages, for no reason, I carry,
And walk burdened, my body and soul seem scary...
Tensions, I call them; nothing if I look within,
Just like an onion when I remove the whole skin...!
Any little word of my friends or neighbors, odd,
Any act for which I do not get their applaud,
Is enough for me to brood within long like fowls,
And lose my sleep and wake up many nights like owls...!
So many foes, thus, in my life I had soon earned!
Full of pits in each step, thus, my life had upturned;
None, like eyes before staring sun, I could not face,
Betwixt us, I could feel, forming an unknown space...!
Enemies and only enemies everywhere,
Shades of foes did shadow my soul and rudely glare;
Anger, fear, guilt, doubt, loneliness, and helplessness,
All, in their toughest chains, bound me in callousness...!
Having suffered, as though throat-choked, I decided,
These pessimisms, like sun shades, are one-sided;
Optimism, with rainbow colors, when, fills the soul,
The world, with diversities, will turn single whole...!
I unlocked my closed heart with keys of faith and hope,
Though coping with all seemed to tread on a tightrope;
I did not give up; a bit bloom of smile; a hug;
And felt, at last, each tension is a mere humbug...!!!
