Cant Get Over That
My name bestowed upon
me, is not me!
It's my parents' label.
A wrist band immutable.

Another Year Passes By
I look askance as the days pass by
even as they slip into nightgowns
and then it's the chirp chirp, caw caw
up and on to daily chores
displays on laptop
glued to the screen
see-saw with indexes
outcomes writ large on the face
and the nagging back pain
adding to the queue
ailments on the prowl
in propitious frames
yoga and pranayama
apart from vaccines
to the rescue
the swarming germs
on the radar, family members
soldiers in trenches and bunkers
money trails or terror attacks
occupy spaces in brain cells
can't just throw out the pictures
ferry them to bed
fall asleep with nightmares
that leave a pounding pulse
as a wrist-band records the reams.

Eccentricize my eyes
His embroidered cowboy hat captivates,
Having a twinkle in the wrinkle,
Colourful beads in hair vacillate,
A smile pure contentment symbol,
Tattooed hand and the wrist band,
A row of coins unfolding history,
Although he's got no magic wand,
Face masks expressions of mystery,
An elegance of authority in his eyes,
Confidence of inheritance on a display,
Necklace says the tale of his rise,
Father's throne awaits his power play,
Look into his eyes and introspect the heart,
Unveiled mysteries will tear you apart !
