While we are postponing, life speeds by.

Quickened Endings Speeds The Change

Quickened endings speeds the change.
And games played once reliable...
No longer,
Remain the same.

Quickened endings speeds the change.
Knock down those blocks,
And...
Open up what's been locked.

Quickened endings speeds the change.
Don't try to cease them.
Hoping to keep...
Whole and complete in one piece,
A picture wanted perfect...
But,
Soon from you to leave.
Soon you will believe!

Quickened endings speeds the change.
Let what was known go!
And....
Don't try to cease this speed.

Quickened endings speeds the change.
And games played once reliable...
No longer remain.
So...
Knock down those blocks,
And...
Open up what's been locked.
It's futile to keep clinging,
To meanings coming to a stop!

Quickened endings speeds the change.
And...
Don't try to cease them,
With a picture held to keep.

Quickened endings speeds the change.
And...
Don't try to cease them,
With a picture held to keep.

Quickened endings speeds the change.

Before Orgasm

Your midnight laughter
And dark red wine,
Your face of classical paintings
And your supple arms
Enlacing my heart
With a simple embrace
Make everything clear….

Life is lovely treachery
Like being tortured with feathers
Or postponing forever
The achingly tender moment
Before orgasm.

Procrastination

in love with
wait a minute
talking to lots of time anyway
tomorrow is aplenty
postponing what
today could have done
efficiently

nothing does better.

The Ship Starting

LO! THE unbounded sea!
On its breast a Ship starting, spreading all her sails--an ample
Ship, carrying even her moonsails;
The pennant is flying aloft, as she speeds, she speeds so stately--
below, emulous waves press forward,
They surround the Ship, with shining curving motions, and foam.

The Song Of The Kasak

Kazak speeds ever toward the North,
Kazak has never heart for rest,
Not on the field, nor in the wood,
Nor when in face of danger pressed
His steed the raging stream must breast!

Kazak speeds ever toward the North,
With him a mighty power brings,
To win the honour of his land
Kazak his life unheeding flings-
Till fame of him eternal sings!

Kazak brought all Siberia
At foot of Russia's throne to lie,
Kazak left glory in the Alps,
His name the Turk can terrify,
His flag he ever carries high!

Kazak speeds ever toward the North,
Kazak has never heart for rest,
Not on the field, nor in the wood,
Nor when in face of danger pressed
His steed the raging stream must breast!

Sonnet: Cooperation

Co-operation is the sap of life,
Without which nothing can be realized;
Nor harmony be really devised
Amidst children/ citizens/husband/ wife.

No department can flourish without it;
No army however strong wins the war;
No earthly telescopes can reach a star,
Sans co-operation, a good habit.

Co-operation brings success in life,
In one’s family or in his work-spot;
And decides progress or a nation’s lot,
Solving, modifying, postponing strife.

One can succeed if spouse co-operates;
Man succeeds whenever God operates!

We keep on postponing

The old door of the
Out house made a
Creaking sound
Whenever somebody
Opened or closed it
Always reminding
To take care of it
Nobody
Bothered to listen
What it was saying
Everybody knew
If the door was not there
The outhouse
Would become
Unsafe and useless
It seemed as if
Everybody was waiting
For its break down
Many a times
We do this in our life
Do not care for
Important things
By some way or other
They keep reminding
Again and again
We keep on postponing
Take care only
When they become
Urgent

Do either way

This hope that I would not die now
Keeps me postponing doing things.
This hope that I would not die now
Keeps me preparing things for future.
Doing either way is alright
As I won’t be there to regret.

The Nagging Wife Won The Prize

There was a news from New Zealand,
about a nagging wife and a hesitant husband.
The wife was nagging her husband to buy a lottery ticket,
who was reluctant and hesitant,
postponing until 2 minutes before the sale closed.
The ticket won the prize.....the highest and the most.
It was about 4.2 millions NZ dollars.
They could'nt be happier.
The husband thanks his nagging wife,
for the rest of his life,
because the nagging has its bright side,
making them millionaire overnight.

That Sleep....

sleep too is an illusion
and there are so many of them
the sleep that is cruel
when we needed it
it leaves us
staring to the ceiling

the sleep that rocks us like
babies to loving mothers
who does not want to have them
and remember them
once again?

that sleep that takes us
and never returns us
that rest that we soon shall have
but we keep on postponing

the inevitable
that closes our eyes and never opens
them ever again....

While the fates permit, live happily; life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.

A Mystery

I have not seen you but you are felt
and feelings are more than touch
though fleeting

and all those that we have not seen
and just touched
are but fleeting

shall i tell you that it is what the leaves sing about
when the wind passes by?

shall i tell you that these are what mysteries are all about?
wind so cold hushing
smoke from the nostrils of the earth fuming
is this what mysterious anger is all about?

something wants to erupt but keeps on postponing
the people have gone away
and you wait in ambush when they all come back

ah, the wind is silent again passing without uttering the words of the sea

The Bet (Naani)

The Bet (Naani)

Life's nasty little clock

Speeds up in staccato tic tac

As Drinks and Drugs feed on

Death placed his bet and mocks.

Quintessence Of Life Lasts In You

Days with joy and days with sorrow,
I'm standing by your side, sharing your dreams,
In the struggle of life, against all odds,
You are my truth, my reality.

Before the dawn i wake up and see you
Laying by my side, sleeping so deep,
There is nothing in this world more precious than your smile,
There is nothing more precious than you.

You are my universe, the meaning of my life,
I cant imagine life without you,
There isn't ocean to burn out my love for you,
There isn't happiness, there is nothing without you.

All my world speeds around you,
And my love is much more than all stars in the Milky Way,
Day by day you make me understand one thing, that,
Quintessence of life lasts in you.

Michael Keaton

There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
