Hope in Puddles
...Let’s give hope a try, I think.
Before life makes us old,
Before our hearts will go cold,
Let’s give it a shot,
A meaning, a purpose.

The Sick In a Long Queue
...If one is sick and in a long queue,
One needs some guy’s immediate rescue.
No challenging one with “it’s my turn”.

Ode To Metaphors
...Here’s a twain of siblings so delicate—
The tenor and its weary vehicle,
Similar are, nor yet so disparate
O lady, art not thou so fickle?
In seeming sameness struts lady contrast,

Darting around the room,
not focussing on anything
Can’t focus on anything.
Watering, blurring my vision
I cannot see.

Soon to erupt in justice, to carry out a senten...
