coruscating catalyst amid detachment,
of golden spoke carousel magnetism,
circle-shape swivel platform roundabout,
that spreads incipient wish fulfilment caper,
as townscape dweller devotee who revels,
in gargantuan silver tinged mineral rush,

Grand Ma


Depending on a day’s mood-
Grand Ma my mind recalls;
Saint or Devil in the wood
For fast writ on the walls!!!

She’d catch you up the tree
Or acted a wise witty witch
Fishing you...

Till the face is flat pummelled by angry elements

In case, in a split second, humanity is left insecure.
Whose time to...

It’s an old story.
We were classmates, you and I, 
And later became colleagues,
Working under the same roof.
We had more or less the same specialization.
Married in the same year.
Our children went to the same school.

I am a stranger in an alien land,
Always searching  for eternal youth,
Controlled by an aristocracy with
Little time for honesty and truth.

Smoking, choking, back slapping bloking,
false bonhomie in the dawns grey light.
Coffee drinking, tired eyes blinking,
rimmed red from lack of sleep that night.

Nervous twitching, raw skin itching,
pacing the floor, one more cigarette.
Knowing glances, some in trances,
eyes...

then it is nothing but friendship

I know that life is agleam.
Incandescent is the word used.

A considerate attitude that is from the inside 
No price tag is placed on being accommodating 
Being benevolent and affectionate is cordial 
Willing to give everything for nothing in return.
