Giving is pleasure.
The donor is happier than the recipient
As his hands place above the recipient’s..
Donor’s ego and recipient’s hands are full.
The giver remembers longer though.

The cheapest is advice
Donor is happier than the receiver;
Cheaper than water anywhere
Is advice, free of cost, unasked.
In its balance sheet, there is no loss.
Always is gain, the ego of donor.

Recipient of Lost Time
Thirty years...
Spent,
In one spot.
Got a watch...
That stopped its ticking!
After throwing it away,
The recipient then realized...
A similar thing was done,
To things wished but never begun!
It seems dreams had also retired,
The recipient of lost time
To hours confined,
Waiting by the telephone!
Hoping someone would call and suggest...
How to schedule something to do!

The Process of Attraction
Women, their coy's, walking
With men or alone,
Wilderness, desires,
In their eyes;
Gestures, approach, looks,
Expecting the act of exchange,
Never generalise, looks away
In the due process of exchange, not ready to
Receive it from the recipient, with inviting eyes,
Her super ego tells her to look away,
Desires of commanding position, dictatorship,
Sit on them, ride them, just like a horse,
Some are submissive, entirely, desires of owning
The horse, knowing the horse cannot be taken for a ride,
Or perceiving the horse as an object
Of luxury, power, different, scare, well bred,
A rare vision, as it is one,
Some are hurt, bleeding roses,
Expecting the hands
To touch, kiss them care for them,
Grow them well, sprinkle
Waters of good scent on them, remove their thorns,
Lift them with the vase, they don't
Search recipient neither wait for the process of exchange, but very
Distinct in picking traits of pure love and
Reciprocating them;

Such praise coming from so degraded a source, was degrading to me, its recipient.
True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.

In this financial year we will be spending at least $1.5 billion on foreign aid and we cannot be sure that this money will be properly spent, as corruption and mismanagement in many of the recipient countries are legend.

Everyday
Everyday we reach out to someone we hold dear.
Everyday we try to make our feelings clear.
We tell them that we love them,
always want them by our side
to have and to hold forever,
through times of happiness
and times of heartaches and pain.
Everyday we express our gratitude
to having them close at hand.
Whether it be with our words
or with gestures with our hands.
Everyday we do these things
always hoping the recipient understands.

Strawberry prison
dead
the sky lies
on the bottom of the glass
i leave
my clouds
there in the strawberry smell
stars
are shining
without hope of a better recipient

See that it is known
To derive joy from gifting
A gold coin, the recipient
Must know that it is gold.
What you convey must be
Understood; else no use.

Talisman
The studs worn by her are more fortunate
Than their donor, with their sanctity
To touch her. What sensation can they feel?
The donor can feel but is barred to touch.
No matter.
It is a talisman,
for her he has given.
