Tab Poems

LIFE ON REPEAT

They say that Hantavirus is on its way back
Though an old story, this virus doesn't lack

What's going down here, is it the 7 plagues
After one virus; yet, another virus cascades

Scaremongering, just ask the USA, farmers
Germany's farmers, those mice...Read More

I sit here 
In a place where I have no fear 
Will there be another score? 
Does the crowd want more? 
Chelsea is on top 
While Arsenal should not want to stop 
The cheery contingent wants the action 
And the...Read More

I load the dirty clothes into your drum
You are waiting for the tab willing me on
I close the door and wait diligently
You start to gurgle and grind
I watch as you spin making me smile
You stand there all alone, performing steadily...Read More

The shock that I felt was enormous,
as the tab on the cat food I pulled,
a fountain of biscuits shot out of the top-
the box, it was actually full !
I stood, disbelieving, bewildered,
this never had happened before,
I finally came to my...Read More

The night is not young. Soon bars will close down.
You'll pay up your tab or pay for a round.

Did you get any numbers to put in your phone?
Are you leaving with someone or leaving alone?

I hope you have mingled the...Read More

I sipped on a hard drink
It made my senses sink
I was trying to drown my troubles
But with every sip I found new levels

I called out for the tab
To keep the count, not to bolt the pub
But I saw my own...Read More

O Icarus, young Icarus flying so high,
As an eagle, in the sunny blue sky, rising.
Waxing strongly in his vigorous youth, so bold;
Fearless, he failed to hear his fine father’s sure truth.
Alas too late he learned his fate, clearly seen
As he...Read More

Dear John, 

     "Enter" the time when you'd drive me up to the lake to cherish the scenery's beauty, and we'd witness the same in our love-locked eyes. Like our weekend adventures together, you were...Read More

Poof issued from invisible magic dragon,
which nobody dead sea
immediately disrupting electricity
whereat mice elf (Stuart Little), i.e. me,

in the dark, no pleasant thrill

By Parizo Van Thulare 


it doesn't matter
 how ,where or why 
When my heart calls 
I come running 
When my head snoars 
I come flying 

It doesn't matter if..
I'm happy ,moody or creepy 
I switch on my tab 
And turn...Read More

Magazines and jewelry 
Nothing shows your age faster
I see a broach and think “That is from the 40’s or 50’s.”
Mink stoles were from the 30’s to sixty’s depending on the style.
Mushroom canister sets excite my 1970’s self.
Teenage movie magazines from...Read More

Sone ka too qatara dhoondhe
Kab tab usako chalaega
Pahaad khodakar jeene vaala
Khud Heera ban jaayega

Dariya kee apanee pahachaan
Ek boond se banata jahaan
Sooraj kee roshanee paakar
Chaand kitana jagamagaega

Sone ka too qatara dhoondhe
Kab tab usako chalaega

My dog is named Scrap
He drank beer on tap
Slurped, burped, fell over and napped
No fault of my own but I took the rap. 

The bar tab was forty bucks plus a tip
Appetizing jerky tips, and some peach liquors to sip
I...Read More

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at you!  
Purple Lupine, Periwinkle,
and...Read More

An old man arose as most often do
    in a state of tension and stress.
To the bathroom he ran... or was it the loo,
    his bladder he had to address.

The old man was tired...Read More

Shovels Scraping

Standing quiet so as not,
to cause a riot.
Boots are heavy full of grit.
Hair is matted and full of sweat.
Muscles ache,
with move they make
Blister blood, 
mixed with mud to forms a horrid crud.
When I signed I must have been blind.
No...Read More

Chalna fitrat me h tumhari
Chalna shayad tumhara shauk hai
Par chalte chalte jab wo nazuk se pair  thak jate hai
Tab na Jane kyun rukne ka tumhe khauf hai.

Shayad tum ghabrate ho,
Ki agar aj me ruk Gaya to Kal phir chal...Read More

Ishq se bhi rishta purana hai humara
Jab jab issey humne khud se joda hai 
Tab tab Isne humein naummeedi se toda hai

Aur aazmaya khud ko hai

It'd been one of the most bizarre days; downright crazy
so I had a martini, maybe four, so things got kinda hazy
I fumbled in my wallet so I could pay my pricey bar tab
Friends thought I had too many, so they...Read More

As I sat patiently on a wooden bench...waiting to meet my date
I sat there in the pouring rain...her cab was running late 
My feet in puddled waters...drops dripping off my nose 
In my hand, to give to her...a single yellow...Read More

Ae dil itna beqarar hai,
Iss beqarari ke bare me kon batayega,
Hamne apse itni mohabbat ki,
Iss mohabbat ko apko kon samjhayega,
Samjhane wale hi ab koi nhi rahe h,
Iss duniya me,
To Hamari mohabbat ka naiyea kon par karyega......

Ab ae dil aap se...Read More
