You want shape?
Some imagined description of my curves and bumps
that twist and turn after breakfast and lunch crunch;
flat stomach, erect neck and back
aged slides away from the bodies track
and the six pack abs slither into jelly like flab
the culmination of a lifetime and all the carbs I had.
That slim and trim flexible torso once entwined
dancing free and happy in its time,
but the calories, the smokes and the wild drink
released the tethered body from its inevitable brink;
and now passing over the years that paid their dues
I slip into the form I never before knew.
The shape you once sought
is beleaguered by the life styles sought;
some frail and thin, secrets hidden well within,
others taught and muscular below the wrinkled chin;
most irregular and curled, strapped in their rolled furls
face the music of time, we are no longer boys and girls.
So if I could,
I would sketch the body shapes we have,
the apple, the pear, hourglass, rectangle and more
but sketching's not my thing,
just superbly satisfied I've had my fling.

Our
India -
An abode
Of rich culture
and tradition.
Shaped by our ancestors -
the moulds of our past
Inspired by Freedom Fighters
martyred wishing for a free Nation
Led by leaders initiating missions to change the world,
India is progressing.. Reaching out towards her goal
Of being the country
she was always meant to be -
A haven of
Harmony and
Peace.

high
and fast,
man of steel
trying to escape
and fly free for real,
darting to and fro quickly,
pulling and circling and diving
I hold tight as his cape and mighty
fist pointed high, finally climb to the
bright noon sky---no bird or plane
is this that flies---it's superman.
the wind whips and snaps
hard against his chest
and I wish I could
ride there and
look down

on the
hour glass track
within time I did stroll
for long while on the sea
shore alone along beach calm
lapped by the waves that rush
from the domain cobalt these crush
with pearls of foam string spreading on the
glistening sands of time that engraves my
footprints I have left walking the present
embedded now in the realm of the past
where they can no longer walk back
but can only watch them being
washed away by the tides of
time into the deep depth
of oblivion while I make
new frail footprints on
the hazy track fading
as I am walking the
remaining stretch
of the last mile
unattached

Lonesome
gorgeous tree
almost standing straight
I discovered the splendor there
decorative branches is wonderful
can the candied sticks be in a pristine state?
seems as if an old sled had demise standby
there is a slouched spiritual book on the table
a little light-weary
tie a vivid crimson bow
yet, loops let you feel loopy
the angels' wing plumes fluttered
the beard on saint was blown haywire
teddy bear lays on his side after chasing pooh
a blue drum, afar of perch, flips in on its thin legs
the rocking horse doesn't rock just crouches in place
the lighthouse appears
extremely out of the setting
the moon tipped over on its side
an inside-the-tree-flying reindeer as well
It seems the pinecones are around to oust
saffron beads block the light from an elfin lamp
jack-in-the-box is positioned parallel to the facade
the nutcracker prince maintains there is a problem
the gingerbread man is gaunt in his standing position
the snowman lacks zest and lacks any sort of charisma
utterly, the reindeer fails to eventuate and to be in charge
gorgeous, isolated tree
Inching its way toward decay
bringing flawed beauty into the home
and a profound gratitude for everything I have
To
caress
those
soft

Sweet purr
as I pluck gently upon
finely tuned love strings.
Sing to me oh, divine
creature envelope
me In warm rapture.
You are my Temptress
guiding my hands in motion
across your body. I am learning
for you are teaching me,so sweet
oh, such sweet music emanates
from my deliciously classical
lustrous Spanish Guitar.
