The wholesome food
Someone to dominate
And someone to submit to,
From time to time,
Each man craves,
Failing which
He finds himself tense.
He must be heard;
He must be spoken to.
To see someone
And to show himself
Also is his wonted pleasure.

Good and bad habit
Habit is formed
To exert pleasure
Or to grow treasure.
When they are in conflict,
The winner is the pleasure.
I can’t leave smoking.

Woman, be a hard nut
The latest hit song is devoid
Of interest by its repetition.
The less heard ones manage to stay.
Keep with men space and time,
To keep your glamour, dear woman.
Be away but not far away.

Time is come late
Many geniuses faced the penalty of
death.
Many cheats held glory until their death.
Many nobles died by accidents.
Many rogues thrived by incidents.
The world finds it after the event is over.
Time- it does only one thing:
To brood over the past.

Positive turns negative
Everyone falls in love,
When and with whom,
Time has to tell.
Every friend is a foe.
When and how,
Time has to tell.
Every loyal is a cheat.
When and how,
Time has to tell.
So, be used to them.

No life is tensionless.
Limit of time makes you tense.
Limit of space makes you tense.
Birth to death is your time.
Matter around you is space.
You cannot escape tension.
With your will, you can lighten.

Peace and pleasure to alternate
Peace can be the absence of fear.
Peace is not the pleasure.
Pleasure is the feeding of
The ego and the senses.
The rest is the peace and
The act is the pleasure
Like night and day.

Gossip, outlet for hatred
Gossip, it seems to me,
No one can dispense with,
As it is the safe outlet
To release one’s hatred
For the one spoken about.

Pain and pleasure
To avoid the pain,
Some forgo pleasure.
To embrace pleasure,
Some undergo the pain.
Eyes on pain,
Pleasure is not the pleasure.
Eyes on pleasure.
Pain is not the pain.

The Hell
The Hell is there when one lives
As old to experience it
In loneliness, humiliation,
Deprivation, rejection,
And failing organs; all mounting,
The Hell is right at your doorstep.

The solitude
Solitude filters you-
The heart and the soul,
Refines you- the thoughts,
And eases you- the emotion
As at that time,
At that time only,
You are yourself.
It is the secret of Sophia Loren
To be a beauty at sixty-five.

Soul’s propeller
An infant craves for strokes.
A child craves for attention.
An adolescent craves for recognition.
An adult craves for identity.
An old one craves for gratitude.
A dead one craves for visiting as ghost.
Craving is the soul’s propeller.

Tense
I know not
What is tense
I know
Tense has no tense.
Tense for tense
With no time
With no form
I am above tense.

Nothing is classical
Classical songs stay.
Popular songs die.
Why?
Not by merits.
One is less heard.
The other is heard to boredom.

Revenge is the strongest pleasure
Revenge is where one derives
The greatest pleasure.
Escape from being caught is the next.
Far behind are all: victory, conquest.
Success, reward and award

Be proud of yourself.
Your son is a physician
And the daughter, a musician,
You are proud.
Your brothers and sisters
Are in high position,
You are proud.
Your father is a lawyer
And mother, a singer,
You are proud.
See, none of them
Are proud of you.
In priding you are failing.

To wane the guilt.
Better, stab on one’s back
Than cheat a faithful one.
Better, kill one while asleep
Than exploit the bereaved.
Anger, show to the strong.
Mercy, show to the weak.
Then the guilt is not built.

Woman is the moon.
Woman, I liken you to the moon.
You wax when you tempt.
You wane when you ignore.
One time I am lit.
Another time I am shut.
Who hates a full moon
For she’ll soon turn a new moon?

Forget time and space
When bound by time,
When bound by space,
In doing a thing,
You feel tense.
Rid of time and space,
In doing a thing,
You are at ease.
To run within a track,
To end within a time
Breed all the tension.
Some swim, some drift,
Some float. You choose.

Kith and ken
Kith and ken that you value so much
Are useless hypocritical lots.
They come to wedding to show their face.
They come to funeral to show their face.
For your bread and wine, they will keep pace.
Yet, you beam with them being your strength.
