Sins of sanyasins
I decide to become a sanyasin,
Not that by that will end my sin
But that I get license to sin
And that by it would hide my sin.

Sanyasin status dilutes
Sanyasin is the one who denounces the world.
The one who has hunger for food,
For power and for sex embraces it
By which one gets all the three at ease.
Devotees are more divine, than a Sanyasin.

The prostitute is not vulnerable
A prostitute and a virgin,
Let them take sanyasin,
Who will come out without stains?
With unspent libido in smoulder,
It is nun who commits sin.
An empty vessel does not leak.
A prostitute is a spent force.

Care for beauty is the beauty
In a bogie were there,
A spinster and her mother,
The second one with more beauty care.
It was she, who got attention, youth nowhere.

Live independently even if poor.
You must live where you have right to.
Be it a hut. Then your ego is not hit.
You must eat out of your earning.
Be it a peanut. Then you are not spit at.
Comfort can’t heal humiliation.

Repetition gets accustomed
Anything regularly irregular becomes regular.
Anything frequently uncommon becomes common.
In a way immoral also becomes moral thus.

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

Be modest to earn value
The breasts of a washerwoman are firm
And those of a danseuse i are in form.
But those of a royal lady arouse much curiosity
‘Cause hers are a much guarded property.
Formidability inflates the value.

You can’t shut spilling
Maybe I cannot lick as you are a flame.
Can you prevent me from getting from you the light?
Maybe I cannot reach as you are fire.
Can you keep me from getting its warmth?
Maybe I dare not approach as you are a lava.
Can you strip me of its frozen granite? .
Be whatever you like, as near or far,
I shall reap from you as much as I can.

Peculiarity of man’s love
There was a distance when you were with me.
Now you are out, yet are so close and less blushing.
You may feel safe having expelled me from you.
You are not safe, unable to expel yourself from me.
That is man’s love.

Momentary
Many spectacles had I changed.
Each time the chosen was the best.
Many a woman had I wooed.
Each time the one in focus was the best.
Light reflects from where it falls,
Not from where once it fell.
So, give to one only momentary value.

Instincts in destruction
To smoke in public is barred.
To smoke in travel is banned.
No charm in stealthily smoking
As is in illicit love making,
Always fear crippling the pleasure

Who is the most attractive?
Child: Mother!

Be on your own
A cup of tea from your purse,
A glass of wine offered by others,
Which pricks, which sooths?
A hut that is your own,
A mansion where you’re an offshoot,
Which you pride on, which you deride?
A radio of yours to listen to,
A television next door to watch,
Which comforts, which piques?
The freedom and not comfort matters.

Tireless pursuit is sex
I started my life with adolescent mischief.
It has lasted with ages over five decades.
The net expanded for women
From puberty to menopause and even beyond,
With my age on rise.
It retains taste for the young while gaining for the elder.
One, rising up a hill, will have a wider view.

0989..... Death! Death! Death!
I don't fear Death
I don't invite Death
I wish I Taste It, But
I wish it's Peaceful
And not painful.
For, I can not not exist
I am Eternal, For
I see me in You,
In everything,
I don't fear Death
I Love Sleeps n Dreams
Death, a little Long Sleep.
For, Universe is Closed System;
As Clausius said
Sum Energy is Constant.
Where Can I go after
My Death, Only to
comeback elsewhere,
A little Hide and seek, like
Changing Dresses
All Beginnings must End
All Ends must Begin
Coins should have Two Sides
I come only to go back,
And to come back later again
I don't fear Death
I don't invite Death
I wish it's only
Peaceful, Not painful
Oh! God, please Grant my Request!

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.

Love does not reflect
Because I love you, there is no need that you should.
Because you love me, there is no need that I should.
Rather, the more I love you the less you care.
True love is that I should love you more and more
Even when you are disposed to love less and less.
Love is not a reflector.

Roof is the floor of upper house
Dear son, at your birth,
At your school admission,
At your college entrance,
At each stage of your progress,
I beamed with pride
That I built a nest to rest in
If and when I go invalid
Till I rather late realized
That the time you had your family,
That you wanted to use the nest
To bring up your progeny.
Rather than providing me a sanctuary.
Every old one collapses likewise.
Of course, you are my extension.

To enjoy, rules are not required.
Ignorance of raga stood not in my enjoying music.
Ignorance of mudra, the same way,
for dance.
Ignorance of grammar stood not in my enjoying a poem.
Ignorance of beauty, the same way,
for lusting you.

License To Chill
(Jimmy Buffett)
Work, work, work
Big pile of it and the boss is a jerk.
I just want to disappear
Wishin' I was somewhere other than here.
Livin' for the weekend,
Jumpin' off the deep end,
With just enough money to buy
A license to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
A little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill
(Kenny Chesney)
Girls, girls, girls
Ain't nothin' like them in the whole wide world.
So damn smart and cute,
And it's amazing what they pass off as a bathing suit.
Winners and losers
Sailors and cruisers
We're all qualified, for a license to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
A little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill
(Both)
License to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
One good samba lasts all night long
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill
A license to chill
(Jimmy spoken)
Ramos go rent me a coupe deville
Hey KL, where's that barbecue grill
Head on down to Margaritaville
Have me a cheeseburger with a big pickle dill
Jesus, I sound kinda mentally ill
I guess I better go turn on Dr Phil
