On the Cusp

Time came as the fourth dimension
It wiped away all allusion
Transition from special to general relativity
increased the universe's accessibility
Time travel once a hyperbole
is now possible through wormhole
The geometry of space-time
made gravity an age old mime
For high precision came the strontium clock
which made cesium an uninhabited block

Bees

Say some hundred flaps per second
To reach the flower with nectar on an errand
Through the sky amidst of strong and cold breeze
Goes the worker bee to collect the pollen on knees
With the antenna on head and a pollen basket on the hind
See how it navigates the flower faster than google's find
By the way of its service to the queen bee
Preaches how a responsible citizen of a country be
What a beautiful and admirable honey comb architecture
beating even the innovative man-made concrete structure
Waves of tiny and hardworking honey bees
feeding and living in a colony of peace
Much delightful than honey's sweetness
Reminds us of the lesson of togetherness

Answer Me

I carry the torch for thee
Why did you give up me with glee
Was it you wouldn't be caught dead
to identify me as your blood
Did I cork up my love
or were you cheesed off with this low dove
Were you cut to the quick
because of this dimwit pig
Are you coming apart at the seams
due to my first gleam
Why make me a fish out of water
Was I not a thing or matter
You couldn't give a hoot!
as I a worthless boot
Were you tokophobic
How long should I blink my tears back and endure
When will your invisible palms to wipe away my tears come out
My life a story not a tale
Will it not tug at your heartstrings

Come Back To Me

Though your separation is transitory
It chokes my respiratory
My mind is perspicuous
Yet my heart is capricious
Behold me! help to gravitate me to this earth
As my soul is about to dissipate near the hearth
Why you left me in an alienate place
I can't get out of this love maze
Bear my words though they are inurbane
Consider them as sweet as cane
These are of no flatter or praise
But an endeavour for your feelings to raise
You can make me a scapegoat
But don't make me sail in a lonely boat
Don't be malignant
My love for you is magnificient

My Tick Tock Clock

I envy you my clock
Ticking everyday, unfazed by your surrounding flock
Your pendulum taking the same time to make one full swing
Unlike me who is incapable of managing the mood swing
Rain may pour, Sun may flare
But You my clock does not care
You tick today undisturbed by past or future
I can't be as you so mature
When seconds turn sixty, minute goes one up
When minutes turn sixty, hour goes one up
But I can't let my past sorrow subside and make up

Summer Shine

Seeing you was like a summer shine in winter
But for you I am like withered leaves of Autumn
Was my silken heart a defaulter to express
Come tell me so I could make a way to impress
Is there any glue to fill this very deep chasm
Oh honey, make my flowers blossom
Please show me some spring, show me some rain
Make me get rid of this vicarious pain
You adorn my life! You make me exult
But why reaching you is difficult
I am drifting towards you because of love impetus
My soul is spinning around you like a pottery wheel
For you, my words and actions are a mockery
To have you by my side is an opulence 
But my stupid heart has no fence, it is still following you my love
