Have no desire to be aware of what you schemed to say
The little time that I may have-you shan't steal away.
Though if you seek some company to share a little peace
You’re welcome here any time, though words you must decrease.
Have no longing for yourself to ramble in my ear
Only wish to hear from you straightforward and sincere,
For life’s too short to consort with excessive talking
And if you start I’ll be apart from you and set on walking.
Have no impulse to listen to gossip and void chatter
Only want to listen to the truth of what does matter,
And spare me from your sorrow, woes and doomed despair
As when you vent that misery you selfishly don't care.
See, when we do communicate we’ll share our point of view
Though lessen all extraneous by empathising too,
Where quietude prevails to build us up and strong
And this will be the kind of place where we’ll ease along.
Have no craving to be aware of what you want to state
We need to have gratitude and stress-alleviate,
To slow the flow for up and go within a world of violence
It seems to be a wise old move to revive in silence.
There’s two sides to every story
A little bit of pain and a little bit of glory
Love and hate become so often entwined
Wrapping so tightly the heart that they bind
There’s two parts in every duet
A chorus of hope and a verse of regret
Sometimes you’re the singer sometimes the song
Getting the tune right but the rhythm all wrong
There are two directions that this path has
Left to finish first the right to finish last
One way is a smooth course the other is rough
Your journey brief or arduously tough
There’s humility in winning honour in defeat
There is always two versions of everyone we meet
Justice is served with discrimination on the side
Dished up immediately or after a goodbye
I sit in the middle of the scales of life
Contemplating ,empathising,on the tip of a knife
At times I’m understood and at others I am not
I am part of the universe, an insignificant dot
Blames and allegations
Conceited self-admiration
Habitual fabrications
Never ending Justifications
Maligning reputations
Backbiting and deceptions
Derogatory manifestations
Avoiding responsibilities, remembering dispensations
Friendships and betrayals
Unjustified humiliations
Killing exasperations
………………………..
This needs proper clarifications
We need moral and ethical upgradation
Focus and proper determination
Instead of shortcuts and distractions
This world is one and we have beautiful relations
Empathising and developing patience
What we are is our creation
Education inspires aspiration
Life is a pledge, we are not on vacation
Race is not just about directions

She appeared vulnerable
When a professional assignment
Brought two complete strangers together
Sharing with an unknown
All about herself
A ‘failed’ marriage, an ‘abusive’ husband
She ‘sitting’ beside him,
While he was behind the wheel,
‘Stood’ exposed
But wait
Was her story a carefully guarded secret?
No! As per her own admission
The world knew about it
But not the fellow by her side
Who did not take long to prop her sagging spirits
Empathising with all she had gone through
‘Ride’ taken
She got down, flashed a smile and vanished
Now, he appeared vulnerable.
FRAGILE HEARTS
F alse friends force me to feel fretfully furious,
R eason turns to regret as I remember the rejection.
A m I antagonistic to anybody's approach?
G uilt gives greater grief than gladness;
I ain't interested in increasing inconveniences...
L et's learn to love, laugh, live and let live,
E ventually, everything will end in an enjoyable experience.
H appy harmonious hearts happen to be healthy,
E nergised by encouraging and empathising with everyone;
A lthough all around me, angry arguments arise,
R esulting in relationships going wrong,
T o the True and Triune God, I totally turn,
S teadily, my sorrowful heart finds solace in this Spiritual solution.

Look into m~y h~e~a~r~t,
A lot of doubts have piled,
Lord, let them depart,
Please, make me feel worthwhile,
This heart too i~s f~r~a~g~i~l~e.

Sweet 16 as a criminal
I never regretted it a bit
Because now I know the truth
The truth behind the beginning of time
You outlandish fool
The new world has come
The world of the chip
The world of social media
The world where kids are Gods
Adults are just old news
You don’t believe me?
It has already happened
You can’t open your eyes
So here comes my own story
As an adult
You can’t stop me
Government power is over
You can’t stop us
We are one
You will not prevail
Who?
That is for you to work out
Did you once think of me
returning,
all eager-eyed, reflecting;
my skin tingling,
hands restless;
crooked smile, expecting?
Did you once consider
needing,
late at night and calling;
your voice trembling,
breath bated,
tears softly falling?
Did you once imagine
feeling,
warm with arms inviting;
lips engorging,
eyes shining,
flesh exposed, exciting?
Did you once list to
empathising,
with earnest contemplation;
soul-searching,
life absolving,
sheer consideration?
Or did you simply stay
dismissive,
insulated and denying;
hard-hearted,
stamping, kicking
love ‘till it was dying?
Did you once think of
my heart
remaining ever true;
or does that thought
expect too much
of someone such as you?
