Buying books is an investment
I spent a lot on books.
Else, my wallet could have been thick.
But, I would not have felt rich.
Now I stand erect.

Woman to fall on man
A tender pepper vine grew on a timber.
Both were in embrace, she clinging.
A hardy pepper learnt to grow erect,
Without a support. Lust of clasp is lost.
Erect woman is at loss.

Books are superior.
The computer is a wonder.
Information you can plunder.
Books are the real treasures.
It gives personal touch.

To write is the ego impulse.
Over years, over the centuries,
people are on the run
to write enough materials
not that there was a dearth of books
or by that they could amass.
To be known envied, awed,
and memorialized, they do so.
They pride themselves on writing.

Who is sexy?
Curvy actress and famous singer,
Jenniefer Lopoz, grabbed the sexiest
Woman in the World Title 2001,
For the second consecutive year.
Who is the sexiest woman?
The one who causes hunger
Where there is no hunger,
And increases the hunger
Where it exists, more
By being a rich fodder.
The lustful woman induces lust
Where there is no lust
And increases the lust
Where it exists, more
By being a rich feeder.
The beauty is only a doll.
The sexy one is a tool.
Sexy women rule the world.

Exposure loses lustre.
A sophisticated, popular woman
Is beset, pestered with, and seduced
By men’s eyes. It is not uncommon.
Immune thus she grows to men’s lure,
With a kind of impotency, self donned.
Such women can by their image spur millions.
But in bed, they are dead like sleeping partners.
Post marriage, famous women have sad stories behind.
Their husbands had had miserable ends.
The one spent in vision
is a spent one in mission.

Interest lies in doing
You can run but will not do it for long.
You can jump but will not stand firm.
Can over power but fail to empower.
Ergo, stroll. You can feel the steps.
Stand. You can feel the earth.
Be receptive to the beauty of environs.
The interest is in doing, not in getting.
The pursuit, albeit unending, is worth the game.

Comfort or discomfort, not lasting.
Walking is not painful to the peasant
But it is to the sedentary one.
A hut is as convenient to a hermit
But it is too unfit to the king.
Anything accustomed turns good.
Comfort or discomfort is felt
Only while in transitional stage.

Way is the key.
Conduct yourself to be loved by the woman.
Imbue in her confidence. Stand for her honour.
Disseminate her blush. Overcome her fear.
She will not junk you in the game of love, it’s sure.

Death immortal
Wife or mother is felt as a lost asset
When we repent of them after they left.
The memory of death more prolonged
Than the memory of life that it purloined.

Having matters
Having matters*
I felt poor in not reading
For want of books.
I felt rich, though not reading,
With books in hand.
I felt poor in not spending
For want of cash.
I felt rich, though not spending,
With cash in hand.
Having, not using, that matters.

Dependence gives attachment
Fragile, coy, shy and timid were once women.
They were vines, clinging to supporting men.
Sturdy, erect, brave and bold are now women.
Men and women grow erect, clinging withdrawn.

To eat, not to be eaten
He wanted some time
to be away from his wife
so that he can have time
spent with some women.
He had a pleasant moment.
He never thought that
that much time at that time,
his wife was left free
for other men to be happy with.
Every one wants to eat
but not to be eaten.

Hopes prolong the time.
Betrothal to wedding,
A day is felt as a year.
To the date of hanging,
A day is past as an hour.
Time snails, when to pleasure.
Time jets, when to pain.
See the plus, time spans.

Love erases lust
Maybe a man is drawn to a woman by his lust.
Once intimacy develops, he clings to her by love.
The love he gets for her makes his lust profane.
Once love has grown up, she is felt by her absence.

When not renewed, it is doomed.
The money I spent on the phone call
could have bought me six packets of cigarettes.
But her voice, ridden with love, fills
My heart full. I have no regrets.
By her words I could see her.
By her tone I could feel her.
A debt not demanded,
and a crop not attended
are lost for ever. So is the love.
Let her calve for one;
For me let her milk.
She has, thus far, not yielded fruit.
She is not barren. She still merits.

Twenty Zero One
2001 - where do I belong
I got my mind but I dont know where my head has gone
2001 - baby where you been
Its pornographic, internet, traffic on my screen
2001 - shes just a maniac
Its not for me but my baby really needs a crack
2001 - dont want the sex to stop
I took a pill now its killing me to keep it up
2001 - I know whats goin on
You wanna take my soul and change it for another one
2001 - those liquid crystal eyes, they really suit you honey
Let me get them in your size
2001 - by 2032 you can be me, and with a little luck
I can be you
2001 - let me bless you son
Help you believe with my semi-automatic gun

Art of living
Swim, dance or play to trim your body.
Be conscious of your body for rich looks.
Learn arts and literatures to shape your emotion.
Listen to the environs to sharpen your senses.
Study arithmetic to stimulate your brain.
Think and meditate to widen your aura.
Then you are a wholesome woman or man.
Later in life you will not have much to regret.

Smoke without fire
Any woman of repute,
however it might happen
that she was close with a man
of her choice or liking,
will not throw away her
fame, name and virtue,
more over her self esteem,
and have her husband cuckolded,
to commit the crime
to get the stigma of shame
and stand ever scathed.
But the world refuses to believe.
The scandal spreads like fire.
A smoke without fire.

Food and taste
There is good food and good bed.
There is fine wine and fine tune.
By is a cute lady with a melody.
You, as a king, are restless to taste.
The sword of Damocles hangs there.
The poor have taste, no means.
The rich have means, no taste.

Otherwise, where is motion?
That I am near nowhere
though death occurs everywhere
is the embedded faith in me
that prods me to go anywhere.
