Long Flying colours Poems

On a never lonely street was  where I grew up
There  we played from morning  till dusk
 Then we woke up neat and  free, but back home laced with dust
Slightly dirtier than...

Kitted out with a uniform, I felt the part, 
But the deesire inside is always the art;
I was enlisted as a pilot under training, 
And inoculated, vaccinated in yearning. 

The medical exam asserted no divinity,

but can he?

maybe it's her

In the higher level's age.

Every now and then, when love catches me unawares
I struggle to break free
To sneak free of unbidden glares
From a pesky glee

When love grows fickle
Taking my breath away
Dwindling its attention to a trickle

For no one will I leave this warm place, I hibernate

What would have happened to million’s fate, 
If Subedar Ramji had failed, thee to set.
In 1891’s simmering heat of April
Born true nationalist Phule’s pupil.

but difficult to fly  without a pair of wings,

Stuffed with latex foam,
Orange red and tawny yellow,

The best gift since I was ever born,
So many kisses and so...
