Poverty may not necessarily
laziness connote,
and riches may not
necessarily hard work
indicate.
The hand of providence
does its major role play,
as successes and failures
to each man is assigned.
Work resiliently before
the twilight of life,
extending the goodwill
of fortunes divinely
earned,
thus leaving indelible footmarks
on the paths of existence,
because one day,
die we all must,
and our deeds to future
generations will loudly
speak.
Tup tup tup, Her flimsy wings flutter
Tik tik tik, She knocks the inner door
Appears to connote life lessons
Could be heard only if we listen
Tethered her body and mind inside dark chrysalis
But blissful life, her soul envisaged and analysed
Soon emerges from a monochrome cocoon
And gracefully dances to the heavenly tune
Jumps across the colorful ixora flowers
Life saving quotes swiftly she showers
"When your mind confronts stress and tension
Just Control your emotions and be patient
And hope and envisage for a better life
And you would be free from present strives"
Taking into account; the Poeter's quip
Shant it be unfurled to reveal thine
Penned and newly coined path of authorship
Paying out the Poeter’s plumb line
Veering from the course
Plotting new wave points
Carting the next rhyme before the horse
Beginning each line with the next conjoint
Taking time to proceed; and dote
Forsaking time tested ways
Remaking each verse concave and connote
Breaking the norm; within this phrase
Plucking the strings of a mental violin
That one trains to adroit and therein
Making each intellectual a rational linchpin.
BLACK.
My shadow bask in bliss
Paid dues of past life synchyses
Diamonds on melanin doesn't connote asking amiss
Just like the lips asking for a kiss,
Spread o'er and so is this
Art engineered on the instrumentality of black pen,
Its a race no man will see it end.
Black is bold, black is beautiful.
Love your skin and be grateful
You're wonderfully made.
Be #blackandproud cos it'll never fade.

IF EVER I HAD A COUNTRY : XXXVII - XXXVIII
XXXVII
If ever I had a country
And if ever by some magic I were the Minister of Housing Development
I'd make it my life-long mission by swearing upon it as a Holy Sacrement
To rush to the rescue of every poor defenceless and distraught old tenant
At the mercy of villainous old women pests who run or administer housing tenements
With beaks claws sharp canines of vultures hyenas who suck vampirically emoluments
That is, if ever I were by some magic the Minister of Housing Development
And even if I never ever had in Gaie Paree no country
XXXVIII
If ever I had a country
And if ever by some magic I were the Housing Development Secretary
I'd ordain ripped from every thesaurus encyclopaedia and dictionary
Words which denote or connote that special breed of vilely hissing spying bodies
Concierge Housekeeper Portero Janitor and all such idiotic parasitic discrepancies
And free the sleepless care-worn tenement city populations from these harpies
That is, if ever by some magic I were the Housing Development Secretary
And even if in Gaie Paree I never ever had no country

Because my moods are fickle
One moment I long for company
The next moment I tickle
Changes in the litany
That entertains mood swings
Repelling targets for which I long
As on a butterfly’s wings
I fly to destinations so wrong
I end up burning my fingers
In a vain hope to boost my perceptions
Of balladeers and sad love song singers
Whose melodies and tunes accentuate my conceptions
When in a crazy cocoon I dream of a blue moon
In which I cavort
With the goon in a cartoon
Where I abort
Moves towards cleansing the malady
That spews conundrums
Heightening the perfidy
That beats dissonance drums
To pronounce me mad
Cos I strike the wrong note
When I feel sad
To the extent where a plethora of confusion I connote.
Dear students Examinations denote
That you and teachers clearly emote
Their feelings out and try to devote
Their time and energy for this rowboat.
Mind that nurtures it will surely vote
Their success to teacher to roam afloat.
Let be a doctor, teacher or student tote
Examinations did need a nice quote.
Whether you be known or remote
Is decided by many reports wrote.
Evil or bad about exams is misquote
By all as it leads us to get more groat.
Ravana like teachers do connote:
Exams are tiny tot like just a mote.
The only tool which writes footnote
For children and save them from a dote.
Lastly, it is just like Gita a good keynote.
Dear readers, Reader’s Digests denote
That readers read and clearly emote
Their feelings out and try to devote
Their money and time for this rowboat.
The mind that reads it will surely vote
Their success that is sure to roam afloat.
Let be a doctor, teacher or student tote
This is a boon that always does quote
Famous personalities known or remote;
Ideas or thinking or reports wrote
Jokes, humour or news or misquote
All are fitted in just a little groat.
Unlike Narada, RD does connote:
Little price, high yields in a mote.
The only book with a lot of footnote,
This will save us from being a dote.
Lastly, it is like Gita a good keynote.
The threads of each new day's experience
Unconsciously are gathered to make sense
Of feelings and perceptions, joys and strife -
A tapestry of stories of my life.
The richness of the tints and hues connote
What strength and depth the images emote.
Most vibrant are the feelings newly felt
Or those that mark occasions most heartfelt.
How will this man, who fills my heart anew
With hope and love, my tapestry thereto
Emerge? Will all the strands, encompassing
This tentative rapport, form imaging
Reminding me forever of a joy,
Or of a mixed emotional alloy?

Their shoes curse me
Send fear into my heart
And makes me loose control of my self.
Have you seen their shoes before?
Black and red, it connote danger and darkness
Press down grasses between their tears and laughter.
Politicians shoes has no soul but
Spirit and dark blood like crude .
It makes a loud noise like the dancers beads
In the front face, corruption built its hut
Then in its back lies harbour there.
Deceit are the leather there in while
Dishonest is the tag number.
It direct them to misdeed of all kind
Politician shoes has no compassion on the sand and grasses
It causes colour riots in their attire.
Under the shoe are gum which is used
To steal public funds and money.
Every now and then its steal money in an occasion
And no one knows their hidden agenda.
It is the elephant of the forest against
The soil and the poor grasses
Endo and ecto parasites to the nature of man's body
Politicians shoes are holy shoes
But smells of foul odour and mutate always.
It fear is in the category of death while
Faith and progress fills the oppressed with life
These two words are universally misunderstood
By all human beings irrespective of their statehood
Though outwardly they appear to be analogous
They connote a deep meaning that is not obvious
But to the ignorant many, it may sound ridiculous.
A vast majority of us surely lead life conventional
Immersed in our pursuit of bread and better, usual
In search of a safe roof for our family, congenial
That makes our living hassle-free and comfortable
But this is but a routine pursuit that is not admirable.
We sweat for earning more to enjoy a life tranquil
Thus lead our lives in ignorance utterly disgraceful
When we live for ourselves, it amounts to ‘existing’
And when we live for the humanity, it is called ‘living’
And the true purpose of man is to live and not to exist.
" Rakhi - for my brother "
Threads of Rakhi entwined in love,
Connote a sister's love for her brother,
Love that got obscured in busy life,
Distance progressed as we adored our families,
But only seemingly parted,
Souls still one and a single thought,
Born of one mother, lived
together for years
Celebrated, faught, annoyed,
conciliated and understood each other,
Endeavoured on all topics,
Lived by each other in all thick and thin,
Childhood days are not just memories,
But to cherish and a reason to live,
Some family values, expressed by subtler gestures,
And immersed Into these fragrances..............
Are tender strings of Rakhi.
A self-evaluation of life
How did we get there?
Climax tho’ connote performance
Not what think in sex alone
Under the shower or tub, where?
But, climax is the very core
Of success and comfort, not otherwise
Climax alright is climbing the maximum thus define
We set aside malice
We have to analyze and evaluate
How and where we have gone
It is rather holy effort of twosome
Maybe in your aloneness but unimaginable
It has to be between you and me!
I'm taking it upon myself
to sing a phrase or write a lick
to put a few words upon the shelf
for singers and poets to pull and pick
what's needed are more rhymes for love
so here I offer now some brand new words
to keep from relying so much on, above
for the finer points of love absurd
"pillove" will mean those times in bed
when face-to-face we gaze and lay
with unwashed night-mouth to taste
but passion makes us kiss anyway
and "smove" will be the way we walk
when hand-in-hand we ambulate away
and "brove" will be the times we talk
when really we have little to say
"plove" will mean wanton puckered lip
and "frove" will be a passionate embrace
"crove" will be when two really click
maybe "sove" loves that smilin' face
to spice up a song we've had "clove"
and some other notable rhymes of note
for lyrics sung low, we have the "dove"
and a few other lined words to connote
lovely sentiments to melt our hearts
and give humanity's eros voice
to create some writing a la carte
some new rhymes may give greater choice

Snow covered earth lies still on a cold and frosty February morn,
Floating & frolicking in the breeze Sentiment of spring still unborn.
Spring starved eyes dart across aestivating weeping willow trees,
Watching for a portent, sign or an omen of youthful furry catkins that are nature’s guarantees.
Lo! , behold and feast your eyes with the sight of studded pusywillows,
Brought home as springs earliest harbinger and placed in accommodating silos.
Fine grey fur covered decorated pusywillows that come before leaves imply, suggest and connote,
Religious fervor, prosperity and happiness for all walks of life these pusywillows signify and promote.
