Don’t scold venders
All men are there to display their wares.
It is up to you to accept or reject.
They may seek you, coax you or plead with you.
They do so lest they should miss the chance,
If at all had there been one from your end.
Take it light if you are not for that.
Allow them to do window shopping.

Love is buyer oriented
Venders are at door.
Why should she go out for shopping?
She can accept or reject.
A woman is adamant in love shopping.

Seeing reduces feeling of owning
Now and then I go for window shopping.
Without purse I do shopping happily.
To ensure, I do it frequently,
That how happily I could live without them.
How many cars I window shopped.
Buying of them never occurred.

Women are indiscreet
I misread those wives in my band
And lost good friends in their husbands.
I am not sad that I couldn’t get them
But that I made them reject me outwardly..
Women might be an indiscreet lot.

Plight is in your wait.
Hope not when there is hope,
Hope when there is no hope,
No surprise maddens you and
No failure will sadden.
Seek light in night
and in day forget light.
Then there is no plight.

A strong conviction n
No matter what others infer,
No matter what others gossip,
No matter what others confer,
Or for that even if they stall,
I believe in what I do,
I cannot but love you as true,
I shall not be what I am not
And I assure my love is pure.
You can match me with love
Or can stretch me in blue.
I shall enrich you with love.
My love for you is a recluse.
I love you in an enclave,
A secret only to your know-how.
Let me know that you know
It, which is all that matters now.
No matter how others follow
Or it takes me to gallows
I cannot deny what I am,
I can’t be what I am not.
You may accept me or reject.
I am prepared for a fallout.
I know my love is forever,
Which others can not sever.

Help or not but harm not
Don’t demean anyone on your way up.
You may have to confront them on way down.
You can help someone on your way up.
You may have to miss them on way back.
Both ways, you are the loser.

Shopping
Were buying and selling your history
How we go about it is no mystery
We check it with the city, then change the law
Are you looking forward?
Now you want some more
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Its easy when you got all the information
Inside help, no investigation
(no investigation, investigation)
No questions in the house, no give and take
Theres a big bang in the city
Were all on the make
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Our gain is your loss, thats the price you pay
I heard it in the house of commons: everythings for sale
Were shopping
Were shopping
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
Were s-h-o-pp-i-n-g, were shopping
(were shopping
Were shopping
Were shopping
Were shopping
Were shopping)

With two small children, I haven't had a wash since 2001 so the chance to go shopping is way down the list. It is something I do intend to get.
Her Shopping Expedition
She picked up the bags which contained all her shopping,
Trying to carry them along without dropping
The contents. Hoping the handles wouldn't give way,
Spreading her purchases around on display.
She managed as far as the bus rendezvous,
Then one handle snapped and then it was two,
And over the ground rolled, jars, tins and fruit,
Clattering noisily, as they travelled en route.
How embarrassing this sort of happening can be,
All you have bought, there, for the public to see,
And no one offering to help you collect,
Your shopping. She felt such an despondent reject.
Then out of the blue, a gallant young Bart,
Offered her his help, his hand, and his heart!

You must be realistic realistic
Is it possible that you can seek a bride
Who never fell in love with anyone
Or with whom no one ever was in love?
It is like seeking one in whose home
No death was ever born?

Café
The ladies at the table next to mine
are window-shopping the mortician's display
with the taste of sweet cream
from a mouthful of pastry

Apology is the balm
Anger erupts from instinct,
For ego’s survival.
To stop it before it starts
Is out of question.
When it does in person,
Seek apology thereafter.
When it is in letter,
Delay its dispatch.
Then you never dispatch.

Eye contact can speak volumes.
Words are vehicles of communication.
Apt words in apt time convey a lot.
Take eye contacts between lovers!
Without words, what an effect! .
Words are the sound and eyes, the light.
Light travels fast.

The youngest one is the tip.
My own son is half of my blood.
His child has only one fourth of mine.
Yet I love it more than
I loved my son as a child.
The reason is not far to seek.
I am desperate for company.
I want a constant companion.
Others are busy to neglect us both.
The grandchild is my apical meristem,
That I want to tend to preserve my root.

Like birth and death
Birth brings happiness.
Parents bring happiness.
Brothers and sisters too.
So do wife and children.
Their exit one by one
Brings you much suffering.
Your death looms with suffering.
Your enemy brings suffering.
Your rivals cause suffering.
Usurpers and thieves too.
So do the wicked and cheats.
Their exit brings happiness.
Accept happiness and suffering
As you accept your birth and death.

Snatching is deadly.
In the demise of your wife
Or in the elopement of your wife,
The result is same: you lose her.
Should she die, you lose her only.
Should she flee, you lose yourself:
your ego, your nerve and soul-
a matter of shame in out of form.
You can miss, can you get plundered?
The humiliation is graver than the loss.
A grudge for revenge stays.

Christmas At The Big-K
At Christmas she went to K Mart
Which wasn’t very smart.
She got in the way
Of a mob that day
And was floored by a shopping cart.
Shopping sucks at Christmas time
Even at the five and dime.
Try shopping on line
And you will be fine
And you won’t be the victim of a crime
Or what’s more you won’t miss your Miller time.

Have respite to sustain.
A woman may love you so much
but is not cheap to display it as such.
She may fear harbouring your photo
but might have secured your group photo.
She may fear inviting you home
but might have seen you in some gatherings.
She may destroy all your scribbles
but might have held journals containing some.
She may have anguish to see you
but might have been blatant to show you.
It is true that she fell in love
and by truce hold it hand in glove.
She has equal and opposite
reaction to your action. Have respite.

Call Yourself A Man
Everybodys laughin, loud as it can be,
But please dont point your finger, especially not at me.
cause Im not tryin to be somebody, I just do what I can,
But you just keep on laughin, call yourself a man!
Im not lookin for somebody, to defend my case.
Ive been scorned by more than one, so stop this paper chase.
If you cant accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!
Tell me who youre foolin, is it not yourself?
Go ahead, be cool, and, Ill just be myself.
And if you cant accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!

Last Chance
A cold day in december
And im still here alone
I look trough my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I have no place to go
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
If there were someone
Id hold her
If there was love
Id let it take me away
But I just stay here alone
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
I feel nothing I feel no pain
I feel no joy nor hurt inside
I only have myself to blame
If I see that the worlds passed me by
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
