The food was indeed, Greek.
My first Greek Frappe!
A most divine, heavenly treat.
Gods must have created this.
So far beyond good!
In gigantic glasses,with ice chips.
It was as good as an Ouzo on the rocks!

The Festival on Saturday...

I look in the mirror and I lock eyes with a vile wretch
The physical embodiment of mankinds ugliest stares back
Peering into a window I catch a glimpse of every imperfection buried deep within my soul

Each occasion I thought I was potent and energetic,
I sure did a service to myself,
As it seeped and soaked deep inside,
It gave me a fillip and I floated along,
Sometimes for a short while and others...

Tomorrow is pregnant
no one knows what it would bring forth
Boy or a bouncing baby girl 
Perhaps the unfolding mystery of good and evil
Thou art the hand made of Nature
dearest blessed and adores by nature
flew thou...

If, as hippy folklore claims, it never rains in California,
Then the watermark is never washed out of the phoney cheque,
And when you’re dead and gone there’ll be no one here to mourn ya
For it was...

I guess you're seeing a flag?
Trouble comes and go,
The range of my eyes captures all black
Walk with me if life is without you alone,
Steal an emblem to save a city,
When we don't know where to...

Probably not my first battleground with this nasty bug
Still haven't tested positive after many attempts
But I know I have it now
False negatives or perhaps it's just my luck
I'm still kicking my way thru it, and...

Oh my God! Is it morning already?
Check! Yes, I can see things in my room quite clearly now.

Jesus was love’s adorned forlornness package, exact and packed
But heaven’s fallopian in some, still remains unopened
For most a door of the hoping, rather than an opening
Formerly sealed by mind’s zeal, a veil, over love’s sacred...

I woke up this morning,
and then without warning,
I rolled off the bed,
soundly bumping my head.
That was just the beginning of what I call,
my most exasperating day of all.
Here's what happened next:

Got into the shower,
then suddenly...

I was a “why child”
but unlike many others
didn't ask my questions
right out loud
for they never elicited satisfaction-
only bizarre grown-up reactions
discomfort shown
in odd looks or awkward glances
at each other, over shoulders
uncomfortable silences
growing colder
nervous laughter
qualmish coughing
even worse-...

It’s an old story.
We were classmates, you and I, 
And later became colleagues,
Working under the same roof.

Married in the same year.
Our children went to the same school.
So far...

Wise and whistling maiden bristled knowledge
Ghost's and demon's she did like to perturb
Those with knives, came to give homage
'He lost' she sighed and her tears...

“Shall I compare thee to summer’s day?”
Asked Shakespeare,
But did not stay for an answer!
Thiruvalluvar compared timely help
To human hands hastening 
To right a slipping dress.
Bharati compared fear to death.

Linguists compare languages
Critics compare literatures and theories.
Philosophers...

Wedding Day

I can say that I had a bit of a headache.
We should have had more drinkers 
If we planned to float the keg.
I left in plenty of time...to be on time.
I had my tuxedo...

I am in a fix
My life in a predicament

Enough is enough of this seriousness
Back to the sillies where I belong
Here's something to ponder, my friends
Why is the word 'abbreviation' so long

I don't usually have to think twice
Before giving it a second thought
You're schizophrenic?...

There is a phrase A Piece Of Cake 
That goes against the ones I make
Not an easy task for me to do
Often end up with burnt mess or goo.

FOR MY SAKE,HIS LIFE WAS AT STAKE.

FOR MY SINS,AT CALVARY,HE WAS PINNED.

FOR MY TRANSGRESSIONS ,HE GAVE HIMSELF TO OPPRESSIONS.

WITH ACCUSATIONS THAT WERE FALSE AND BY HUMAN FORCE,

CHRIST WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS.

THIS SHOWS THAT.....

I wonder what she’d say
would she stare in wonder?
cry in disdain?
Fear for my fickle bones.

When her child is rested into her flesh
No more than fertilizer,
