The Death of PleasantriesMy monocle, please,
or if you please,
my spectacles so
I
can attempt to eye
a book with both irises
and which book
to attack first:
the gigantic book of fashion;
it’s
not a lap animal, vegetable
or otherwise;
and the floral pages -
both have large print,
I think.
Oh, yes,
and speaking in tongues,
that is
the craft of language;
a book (oh, yes, quite funny)
on trees (aren’t they the funny things
that...

Darkest dayA Story of Santosh that was entangled in grief
It was just another day, he thought
He stepped out of the house with his family to return
Unaware of the danger awaiting at the accident spot
He and his wife, children went out jolly, talking about
They got onto the bike and went for a ride as usual
Oh,...

Fated LoveThey grew up together
But they never spoke
And never seen each other
Fate had her plans, though
Setting them up to meet
When they did it, it was in the library
Between the dust-covered shelves
Each wanted a particular book
Written by an author no one knows
And a title no one ever read
Two copies were dying on the shelf
Two copies, which...

Book
You could read me, day and night,
Flip through every page of me
With your gentle fingers,
Lingering where you please,
And do more ..much more
If your heart desires.

Speech on Memorial day
Value people when they have life
Strangely, people understand lately
Everything is loud and clear, yet blinds
Still, people find it challenging, but why? honestly
Wait, let’s unpack the fact.
Dead people do not speak
Neither response is to pick a fight
They are calm and quiet
Due to which they candlelight
Celebrate the opponent's flight
Words flow with compassion disguised
The love poured out...

How long, How long!!!!!!
Inside the four walls is my agony surpasses the night
The day is replaced with work, and time slides by
Animals seemed privileged and were cared for bright
Why not I am cared but cut half throat left to die
How long is the test that has no end squeezes my rest?
Oh, when will my eyes smile and heart...

The Essence Of TeachingTeach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day.

gun slingerThe Gunman
In Montreal, in a bar frequented by shadowy
people who used French phrases, making money
fraud and mayhem, I bought a revolver that still
had five bullets in its chamber
The next morning, our ship was bound for Japan.
I worried about the gun, perhaps used in a heist
where someone got killed, and there was

Mil Gayi KyaWo daulat wo shohrat jo chahiye thi mil gayi kya
Jo main de na saka tha wo khushiyan mil gayi kya?
Jin ko paane ki chaah mein chhoda tha tumne mujhko
Us shaks mein tumhein wo saari khoobiyaan mil gayi kya?
Wo moti jade lehange ka, kya shauk tera poora hua
Wo tujhe heero se judi hui choodiyan mil gayi...

old pleasures rememberedThe Pleasure Remembered.
I saw her in a cafe yesterday; years had not been kind to her
her hair was matted, her skin was dry, and her lips were a sullen grimace,
not quite hiding her miss- coloured teeth.
Once, we slept entwined. I kissed the body and often burrowed
my head in her honey pot and drank her love...

My Brother's BookMy brother’s book deserves a look
And not just for the time it took,
But for the family tree he shook
To show the need to strive.
His characters are loosely based
On relatives whose lives he traced
From foreign lands ‘til they embraced
New homes when they’d arrive.
The story’s universal, though,
For as they settle and they grow,
We realize how much we...

Reading and WritingI have not heard many summer birds
My summer time is spent indoor
Reading books and sweet gifts of words
I have not heard many summer birds
To know more of doing my best bids
To write informative pages for sure
I have not heard many summer birds
My summer time is spent indoor...

I Ain't No GoodI ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should,
My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time.
What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long,
But my woman seems to know it all by heart.
She got her degree, in what is wrong with me,
First a master’s, then a Ph.D.
She lectures all around, relatin’...

A LUXURY I WISHIn my comfy corner, a little space
A place of my own, as soft as a lace
Lays a long chair of queen’s height with a wooden base
With a rocking style for a ride at a mild pace
Cushions of vibrant colours, in fitting size in the pattern of a maze
Attracting all in less time, fixing attention and...
