Love is my Prop
I've fallen in love with a four wheeled prop
And I am walking along with a bop
I thought long and hard
Now it's my safeguard
Together we make a gruesome bellhop.
I wondered maybe it'd make me look old
But then perhaps I am old, all things told
I feel quite sprightly
Now stand uprightly
Things have improved a hundredfold, I'm sold.
They do say that pride comes before a fall
I’ll tell you that is true for one and all
With my wheels I shop
Held up by my prop
Furthermore we’re in for quite a long haul.

What if it were so,
that the title was longer,
than the whole poem?

I tried to think and nothing happened, then
I tried to work and swiveled in my chair.
All I had known died as I recall when
My world became blue eyes and golden hair.
Sunrise became drab when matched with her eyes -
Her hair evoked the sounds of heaven's call.
There was a day when mankind called me wise,
But that was lost without a care at all.
"Obsessed!" they said, and I could only smile.
My life had turned and left the sane behind.
The world of love possessed me all the while -
Leaving me daft and with a simple mind.
Don't grieve for me for I found something rare -
I vanished in blue eyes and golden hair.

Like a dog in close pursuit of its *****
shines on one nation is the light from sun
careful notice without any hitch
step leads to step, walk makes walk, run makes run
strict observation with so much strife
the target’s scent covering this willing cage
wishes to be a husband or a wife
life is weighed and scaled in a private gauge
the mind from mental lust is fully fed
close demons of wants use it as their bar
every occasion around becomes dead
but interesting is this one from afar
not at all minding if it’s wrong or right
it’s satisfying, basking in this plight.

When you lost your kidneys, you can replace.
Who cares that will donate or having human lace.
When you become healthy you prefer to see face,
You turn kind and never run a discrimination race,
A religion, colour or caste never opens a case.
When a person has sound health he counts only wealth,
Introduces demarcations and degrading for self stealth.

Limitless...
countless reminiscence
embraced by caress
where life is encased.
Never-ending...
endless cycle of retrospecting
arising...appalling...
tears are falling.
Boundless...
countless occurrences
procured through impossibilities
designed by benevolence.
Eternal...
infinite smirks and cackles
cordiality seems to be perpetual
life looks to be immortal.
Undefined...
in-feasibilities were refined
light and dark were combined
from the world of blinds.
Endless...
worthy pinky promises
craving for amicableness
a life-long ties of existence.
Limitless endlessness
never-ending boundlessness
eternal infinity
perpetual immortality...
these are what friendship can give birth of..........
