The face and shyness
A graceful face is enough
To attract a man of repute.
Revealing posture will retract.
A woman must retain enough sigh
To draw in a man of repute.
Liberality will retract.

Falling apart
I'm sickening
I'm sickening
Losing my heart
I'm sickening
I'm sickening
Retract
Trying to forget
Trying to protect

Crawling this far
I'm sickening
I'm sickening
Soiled and scarred
I'm sickening
I'm sickening
Retract
Lying to subject
Dying to collect

I'm coming apart
Finally
Maybe this time I'll forget about you
I've tried
But you keep coming back
Retract

I'm coming apart

The reliability
Woman of glamour is not in the list
Of brides for the men of repute, mind.
Man of fashion is not in the list
Of grooms for the women of grace, mind.
Reliability takes the front seat.

Reap repute.
Be not selfish and be not greedy.
They are repelling characters.
Incoming helps will be scanty.
Repute must weigh more than wealth.

Inviting worries
Men of wealth worry of being robbed.
Men of repute worry of being besmirched.
Beggars and coolies are getting their sleep.
Others strive hard to invite worries.15.04.2010

On a Drawing by Charles Tomlinson
By a swath of inks the eye
thinks it sees solidities
which alter with the watercolor
way his brush washes its dye
in distance, though even this
finds a faraway fixed not
by the surveyor's plumb but
by the action of the thumb
delaying all the fingers meant
to draw out of the paper,
splashed dry. The clean grain
catches what it should retain
if enough pressure pleasure
is applied to the stain to lie.
Note: Tomlinson is not only a distinctive poet, but a visual artist of repute. His graphics grace the covers of many of his books. This Homage attempts to imitate his verse style, or rather one of his verse styles.

Impacts without bruises
Any woman will bear your manoeuver,
And honey can be churned of nectar
When you woo her as bee does flowers,
Subtly, with no pique to her repute.

Marriage does havoc.
Petals attract bees
Their works are over
Once bees have landed on them.
Honey is sucked and
The stigma, crushed.
No clinging thereafter
Between petals and bees.
Every woman has
What is enough to attract.
No woman is to have
What is enough to retain
A man for long thereafter.
Marriage does a havoc.

Suspecting is inborn
In spite of intimacy,
In spite of privacy,
And in spite of secrecy,
No woman of repute
Budged an inch to my wish.
Yet, I am beset with doubts
When my woman is closeted
With men acquaintances.

Woman Is Fed By Men's Eyes
Woman is thirsty to be beautiful.
She gets fed when men turn their eyes on her.
On looks rather than for stomach, she spends
And falls a prey to anything fancy.
For her feminine desirability,
Not denying this, she puts her efforts.
By attracting men, she attracts herself.
Under her rouge, she gets her confidence.
It is her asset to have men at their feet.
It is her repute to keep them at bay.
No woman desists from being ogled
By men, no matter what rank they fall to.

Woman’s liberality
Man cheats on woman;
Her beauty is no bar.
Woman cheats on man;
His chivalry is no bar.
Boredom is the cause.
Variety is fancy.
Man looks for woman’s looks
And seeks her with passion.
Woman looks for man’s trust
And involves from emotion.
He skips without a scar.
She slips with deep wound.
Cheating has been
Man’s prerogative.
Cheating has become
Woman’s prerogative too.
Its prevalence grows,
Liberality granted.

This IS This
This is this,
And nothing else.
This is not that!
Nor can that be this.
Even if you wished it...
To be detracted.
This will never be that,
Whether or not you regard this as fact!
This as it is,
Is not that!
This is this,
And nothing else to retract...
To retread what this is to give this to become that,
Back!

It Takes Two To Tango
In an affair, it takes two to tango.
To elope to, it takes two to tango.
Woman is the target to soil her repute.
Man is the victim of people assault.

Beauties Nucleus, Gloria
.
My darling,
If I was a painter
a master of repute,
A genius of deft strokes
to sketch the charcoal base.
One thousand years of learning
need I,
indeed,
to reproduce the beauty
that dwells within your soul,
and reflects upon your face.
