The Love Rain

Floods of memories
The tumults, the peace
The pitter-patter on rooftops
The passion, in dollops
The continuous beat
Driving away the heat
The smell of rain
The overflowing drain
Emotions uncontrollable
The storms, the lull
Inside, her scent strong
Outside, Nature’s song
Past recreated
Once again, nothing hid
The gusty wind, the ferocious lashes
The crumpled sheets, all the messes
The thunder, the roar
The desire… ‘Want More’
The ebb, the flow,
As in each rendezvous so
The shiver, the quiver
From him to her
The sun pierces the fog
He rolls down, a log
The pleasure, the joy
Comes back the spirit of coy
The rains abate
And thus ends, the love date

The 24 By 7 Disconnect

While attending a social do
You meet and greet others
It’s more a social norm
Than any ‘real’ connect
As you attend to calls
Or get yourself updated with ‘Updates’
Or simply fiddle with your phone
And mind you
You are not alone
Almost everyone is doing the same
Some listless bites of conversation
While chomping on the fare
And it’s time to take leave
But ironically
The same social do
Which you had so perfunctorily attended
Finds the pride of place
On social sites
And horror of horrors
You too find yourself
Engaged in mindless chatter
With the very same crowd
You didn’t much involve yourself with
Just a couple of hours before
In that crowded venue
The story is the same
Whether you are with friends, family or neighbours
The present moments are sacrificed
With ‘smart’ phones smartly severing you
From your surroundings
Ironically when face to face
No one has much to say
But there’s frenzied socialization
Every day
In the ‘virtual’ world
Leading to tch, tch
A 24/7 disconnect in the ‘real’ world.

Those 'Rewarding' Comments

There is no point
If you have ‘been there, done that’
Unless you announce so loudly
On social sites
Show the proof of
The ‘Happy Family’ moments
You see, enjoying those moments
At that very instance
Is secondary
It is all about looking ahead
Thinking of the future
And this is just the beginning
Because now you
Have to check, every now and then
Those comments
Of your friends
Their mushy remarks
‘Oohs’ and ‘Aahs’
Literally dripping their love for you
These bring back the twinkle in your
Sleep deprived eyes
And instantly uplift
Your travel weary selves
If you do not get a response
From someone specific
And you want to know
Whether he is dead or alive
All you have to do is
‘Poke’ him
His reaction, a ‘thumbs up’ will
Give you the same satisfaction
As a complete meal on a hungry stomach
And your daughter will tell you
‘Now, it has all been worth it’
Your ‘Thank you’ replies
To hundreds such comments
Are bound to keep you busy
For weeks to come
So much for our craving
For some ‘social recognition’
If not in the real world
Then at least in the virtual one
Where no great achievements
Are needed to get those
‘Rewarding’ comments

Will You Be My Quarantine

What’s all this
Nonsense
Inch tapes out
Everyone measuring distance
They call it
‘Social distancing’
Never heard
Of any such thing
After all
Man is gregarious 
He, she and us
Add to it
That one more bit 
About ‘Self isolation’
Living all alone
Not a soul around, 
Absolutely none
But wait
This we’ve
Already been practising 
Bringing into our lives
The much required zing
Some dark, dingy place
Lying curled
Avoiding the world
Dodging prying eyes
Inventing all those lies
Two middle aged love birds
Coochie-cooing
Doing just our sort of thing  
Our love 
Since turning on
Its ignition
Has always been 
On the run
Yes, I’ve tested positive
For CUPID-20
Me, supposedly vulnerable
Though, not exactly 60
Now you’ll say
I’ve to stay away
Ok, take it easy
Just chill mate
I’m ready to co-operate 
But with a condition
The world I’ll shun
But lock me up
With her
Let my Valentine
Be my quarantine.

Permanent Scars

PERMANENT SCARS
Dads are supposed to be strong
But here he is
Eyes welling up
At the thought of his only daughter
Leaving so suddenly
In the prime of her life
Never to return
She would not come back
But her memories
Now haunt him
‘Fond’ memories
Giving ‘pain’
Keeping her alive
Even after death
While he tries to rid himself
Of her thoughts
Get immersed in work
But the void
Is here to stay
And not just go away
By false assurances
Who says strong man don’t cry?
In case it is so
It’s better to be a father ‘weak’
Than a man ‘strong’
He knows he has been wronged
By Destiny
But he also knows that
The father-daughter bond
Is permanent
But alas!
He doesn’t know that
So are the scars.

It's No Sin

It sneaks in
Very quietly,
And you see
Before you know it
Bit by bit
It’s there
Inside you,
Coursing everywhere
But then
You refuse to believe
You’ve fallen
Initially you tell yourself
‘No way, Man’
Despite
Apparent changes
That feeling of bliss
More smiles
Laughs more often
The egoistic you
Now softens
That wonderful emotion
Occupying your
Heart and mind
Stern once
Now so gentle 
And kind
There are sly comments
Direct queries
Vehemently denied
“Nothing like that,
No please!”
After some time
Denials cease.
It is then
You understand
-Love-
That amazing feeling,
So sweet a thing
You are immersed in.
Go ahead
And accept it.
After all,
It’s no sin.

Please Unfriend Me

Please Unfriend Me

No slow paced emotions
In this hi-tech, jet age
Why wait to know the other
Over time
No use looking for secure and long lasting friendship
When the same is available
On the go
The face looks likeable
Just a click
But do follow the norm- be polite
Request him/her for friendship
I would love to see you
Doing the same face to face
Anyhow, don’t worry about gender and age
These things do not matter
Start a chat and then chatter
Friendship for sure has gone hep
Just a little tap
And voila
Both of you
Completely unknown
Never met in life persons
Are friends
And what is best
This friendship
Gets celebrated all over the world
By similar, like-minded people
Don’t worry if you’ve had your fill
Want to end the friendship
All you have to do is simply
Unfriend him
And that person
Is out of your life as if
He never existed on this planet in the first place
So you see
It’s all so simple
Man and emotions were making the
Darn thing complex
Now for those who are dumb
Can’t take sarcasm
Mate
Don’t hesitate
Feel free
Please unfriend me.

Romantic Beginnings

Furtive glances
Flirtatious smiles
Blushed faces
Hushed tones
Tentative you
Doubtful she
Roundabout questions
Evasive replies
Nothing clear
Nothing known
The ‘does s/he,
Does s/he not’ phase
Foggy minds
Soggy hearts
Rose tinted glasses
No more passes
Yearning for togetherness
Seldom, very less
Then gradually
That glint in the eye
And the racing heart
No waiting till tomorrow
The Cupid’s arrow
Oh! This heady feeling
Oh! These romantic beginnings

Cannot Win, Cannot Lose

‘Love All’- the chair umpire announces
She whispers, ‘Love one’
He whispers back, ‘Love two’
And the game begins
Playing field, uneven
Two middle-aged, thus engaged
In more than just a game
Mind you, no ‘Exhibition Match’ this
They know the world loves ‘exhibitions’
He sends the first serve- ‘stinging’
She manages to volley back
He seems to be at an ‘advantage’
But he cannot ‘win’ her
And she cannot ‘lose’ him
Empty stands
Different worlds
The ‘Big Umpire’ on His perch
Wonders, “Where’s the game heading?”
A draw?
No, none in this game
There’s no draw in tennis
It soon becomes-
‘Game’, ‘Set’ and ‘Match Point’
Suddenly the two different worlds
Come crashing down
Game over.

What's 'Appening

Look around.
Crowds everywhere,
But not a sound
Everyone has become so tech savvy
That ‘chat’ has replaced ‘talk’, you see.
The ‘not so smart’ fellow
Doesn’t respond to your ‘Hello’
Because he’s feverishly tapping on his ‘smart’ phone
Can’t you see, you moron.
Everyone is hooked on to it
It’s so bad, if you cannot fit
Into their scheme of things
Because with you,
There is no status update, no messaging.
In that case, don’t blame others
Actually you are at fault brother.
When social sites have replaced socializing,
You too jump on the bandwagon,
Instead of exclaiming,
“What’s ‘appening?
