Details | Free verse | Goodbye , Until we meet again ! One day, surely, in some far away land , you and I shall connect again One day , just on a random day , while doing grocery, we will bump into each other again One day , you are looking for a consult.. a colleague may just recommend my work ! One day you need a friend , you can count me in and call my name One day you need a hand , don’t fret about how much time has passed One day when suddenly it all falls, you and I could hold each other again Just reach me, find me , call out … if you want then surely we will meet again !

Details | Verse | I Must Go It Alone I must go it alone when others negotiate their dignity for existence running in any commanded direction during that spell of selection or rejection I will represent everything but penitence I must go it alone while I cherry-pick self-respect over conformity toeing the line of neutral and neurotic Picture of self-confidence biopic as wickedness intimidates the majority I must go it alone falling to rise again in another form where medals will decorate my soul’s sleeve and I call for a deity that calls me colleague I entered and exited the world by storm I must go it alone

Details | Couplet | A Fragrant and Colorful Goodbye Our sacrosanct love, flying in the celestial azure so very high, With heavy velvet heart; we beckon a fragrant goodbye. You help me so strong initially until I catch my breath, When I was stumbling; you hold me with orange faith. Today we are here after countless sweet bitter days, We always pray for you and your family; soft golden rays. A bad end will never come; who see lotus in every mud, We see all within you; a violet life blessed with God. You might have framed nice dreams; blue and red, We wish always for you to have rose petal bed. Education is a torrid & vital topic for here and there, Your kids may be cherished with white purple care. A chocolate smile & good health; God bring ahead, We beckon a fragrant goodbye; lush green shed. ======================================== Note:It is written on the eve of farewell of a senior colleague.

Details | Free verse | Resignation Little did I realise when I swung Into the car park at Calder Glen That by the end of that week in August 2009 My days of teaching would be over. It all began so well Meeting an old colleague right at the start Archie ,a jovial bon vivant From an earlier placement. No fault could I find with the well disciplined pupils Hanging attentively upon every word Or giving the impression of doing so. No, the fault lay within me. My outer self sounded the same Inwardly the elan had flattened And I felt my energy draining away With every lesson and every class. Was this imposter syndrome? Or maybe it was the way footballers Experienced that their time in the game Was finally over, spent and burnt out. By the time Friday of that week came I just knew that I had taught my last lesson. Just before I went to the office To let them know I would not Be returning, I was buttonholed By an assistant head Who regaled me with the kind words Archie had said about me And requested my return. It was not easy to tell him That I no longer felt up To the demands of the job And that I felt like a race horse Which had just run its last race And was longing to be sent Out to pasture In its own sweet way.
