Long Reciprocates Poems

I tell you of a friend who's so fond of everything french
She didn't call her a frenchie when she saw one on a bench 

Her favorite food french fries and syruped french toast
She's been to...

Before scant opportunity
to make amends totally tubular slips away,
I (one generic doubting thomas)
reach out across cyberspace without delay
jumpstarting and kickstarting reflections
linkedin with fifty plus shades of gray
snapchatting and twittering
do you know the way to San...

An Existential Curiosity

~0~

Ambitious existent presence to yield,
Hostage that's well endured of a pre-life,
Handcuffed fallible praying to be healed,
Labyrinth attributes drudgery strife.

Redeeming shrilling lob gratis to air,
Longings bounded dreamt outpours...

Oh! How I long for that
one sweet moment of
loneliness, when the human race
decides to piss off, leaving me
to wallow in my own
company.
The pressurized world,
the ceremonious
corporate reciprocates, one’s
space to foul, with flouting
flagrant farts! Creating
thunderous turmoil, a
chaotic...

65 minutes reduced to 120 seconds

Bright lit room
White glossy tone with flowery curtains
Upon window's darkened vision

Your radiance emanated in celebratory gesture
As my eyes fell in love
All over again

But your smiles were too bright to see...

Solar Eclipse Kiss

Moon tumbles into the tunnel of mad tribulation.
Only in her dreams, her higher desires exalt into an empire from her orb of opulent observations.
For their relationship of spicy sanity survives decades of divide.
Now,...

It’s, for me, not nature’s just one aspect or the other;
But, each creature of nature is greater than the other.
An ant moving unnoticed under any leaf or flower,
Rolling food, even under feet of animals much...

so you’ve met a storyteller, 
one who sits down & is able to enthrall as little as 
1 or as many as a 
group, with tales of their lives, however remote, however ridiculous &
they help...

Perfect present from heaven above
You and I, we fit like a glove
Please let's not fight
It's just not right
So happy that we're so in love

Let our relationship grow

colour
attracts a
bee here and there-
but fragrance stops it in 
its tracks

over
the stubble
carrion crows-
the game-keeper heads home
for tea

August
shaded gold
becomes monsoon-
berries rot beneath the
bramble.

a drop
of water
upon  the ground-
forever lost,without
a sound

inspired by 2 sam 14:14

Kisses
and cuddles
with whispered...

Life

Miracle of birth enshrines an ethereal event
Whether in poverty or affluent wealth.
While some are blessed with enviable health,
Some get saddened by persistent illness.

Life distressed by destitute and hunger
Submersed under depths of gruesome sorrow,
Eminently thrives to...

She is strong not to fall apart like petals strewn about 
On moonless nights, she lets...

Dark is deep despair.
Darker is deep love spurned. 
Blue is the sky, but he still loves you,
he doesn’t know why.

Green is his heart, since you left him without a word.
He will wait for your return,...

In the dark of my fantasy
I found myself alone.
Fleed along with flawed imaginations.
I had malice for my profession.
I was stuck with my devil mind,
with the alley of the time.
A confused recollection of my past
was conflicting...

Rakhi to my brother



No distances can part
no bearing can breach ...

As tender strings of rakhi
I tie on my brother's wrist,
Send heartwarming wishes
to Illuminate those paths,
that we traversed together 
Holding each other's hands.

He reciprocates with a...

Goodness in people dominates from the inside out.
Dismissing downtrodden people is not what it's about.
To avoid panhandlers' people would take a different route.
To ensure their lack of bathing didn't land...

Next time I'm going to be honest
About my past.
I don't want a hit it & quit it
I want something that's gonna last.
Next time I'm taking charge
Not trying to hesitate
I'm not going to procrastinate.
I'm going to...

Walter Baedeker is a hypochondriac.
His doctor says his ills are psychosomatic.
Walter reciprocates by calling him a quack.
The patient is healthy, but stays in bed.
He thinks he is sick, but it’s all in his head.

Thou art tongue-tied, once fate has the stage.
Only the benighted reciprocates with outrage.
Oblivious man tried to plan ahead boldly,
To mold his fortune with one last longing.
He forgot one thing, fate had his plans too.

She speaks to me and the voice enlightens my heart.
She leaves me in a state of unforgettable bliss.
The way she reciprocates, making memories start,
It is always so perfect and always started with a kiss.

LOVE

love of one another, each other,

have we forgotten?
a basic need, love!

INSTINCT

love for your mate
a homo sapiens trait
most life depends on instinct
curse the power of reason

REASON

reason, thoughts realised
or to figure out a failure

He reciprocates the vibe
But he shouldn’t,
They tell me,
If he’s not serious.

They tell me this softly,
In confidence as they smile.
I return it sadly,
With the thought that they’re right.

I know he reciprocates,
He’s said so himself.
But they don’t...

Eye To Eye Talk
 

With smutty look, it started .
A look to look again,
Until the love begin.
To every hern of she,
even the nails cudnt be set free.
Tip to toe she had to glow,

That was the Wish.
That was the desire to shape.
That was the prayer to Almighty.

Waves continue to hug the shore.
Each time it comes near the earth,
The shore spreads its hands, accepts each wave

She cast a wistful look
At the side table
As she lay on her bed weak, old and infirm
Her two children with cherubic smiles
Look back at her from the frame
She reciprocates- a weak smile
“Remember, I would say
‘You...
