False Claim

Demanding possession…
nine tenths of the law

Last bone to fight over
—its marrow still raw

                                                look at me

Why the Rush

Someone in the World can run 100 meters
faster than any other in a competition
and it is all about tenths
on an more than billion year old Earth
which also moves in an orbit
but not for to beat a world record
and get one new glittering prize for the collections
this is a poem about to be best in the World.

Just Oust

As rent went unpaid by the tenants,
they had to pay a heavy penance.
One and all, copybook blotters,
their name became simply, 'Squatters'.
But, in this case, possession being nine-tenths of the law,
did not hold up in court, and, homeless once more,
were out in the cold for their derelictions,
as the landlord had the courage of his evictions.

Trust

Trust


Trust to me is nine tenths of love;
So if you want me to love you, then have to earn my trust.


If you are good enough for me and I can make you complete;
Then maybe you and I shall become like Romeo and Juliet…


Should have been, living together in harmony
And fit together as one, like a perfected rubix cube
And happily remain, as two halves of one love.
