Welcome the changes
I lived in many places.
Each I entered with an aversion
And each I left with a commotion
Joy could be brought as many times.

Azhaki [the beautiful], a movie
I heard that she was ill fated
To be knotted to a drunkard,
Who, being poor, stripped her of charm.
I was helpless to lend my arm.
I was strained.
I helped her husband earn
And send her money to keep her.
Not to last, he left once for all.
She’s left to earn as coolly.
I was pained.
I brought her to be a housemaid
To give her a safe livelihood.
The humility that she had
For her and the son made me soar.
I was wounded.
I brought her to help our household.
My wife’s innocence was her hold.
There, too, happiness short-lived
As our past story unfolded.
I was shattered.
Next day, once for all she had left.
Her son’s study was lost. I’m lost.
I wandered as a vagabond
In search of her without any end.
I was ripped.
The script that she left when she left
Cleared the dust of my wife’s eyes
And made her repent her ill doubt
About her modesty and the loss.
I was mutilated.
I found her son in an orphanage.
Now he lives with us in prestige.
I love him more than I love my child.
It is a tribute I give her.
I am soothed.
One loses one’s peace,
When one finds her ex-lover
In ill fated condition,
And does all to her,
To redeem her,
That he would not have done
That much
Had he made her as his wife.

Death brings the reality
Socrates was posthumously rewarded.
Hitler was posthumously condemned.
Who of them lived in comfort?
Are their spirits are aware of the aftermath?

Don’t be a waste
It is a must that you must get
Wealth, skill or knowledge adequate,
To deliver to mass around
Else, you are left as a waste

Libido finds other ways.
Libido has many exits
Other than natural coitus.
Masturbation serves the best.
Visual media is the widest.
Any queen or prince could be brought
Into the screen in front while you do.
Monogamy is thus fought.

No light means no shadow
It is true
That I lost many fortunes,
That I missed many chances
And that I left many ambitions.
It must be true
That I was saved of many misfortunes,
That I was spared of many pitfalls
And that I was left of many traps
That would have interfered with them
Had I succeeded to get them.

Love is everlasting.
Wonder, venture, adventure,
Sports, play, games,
Comedy, humor, satire,
Detective, Violence and on,
I had left one by one
In reading materials,
In all my span of life.
But, I had not left
Love, romance and sex,
Which are immortal to the mortal.

Thirsts modulate cries
That time when John Keats and Kalidas lived
Women were not that sophisticated,
That exposed to men and that liberal.
Had Keats and Kalidas lived this time
Things would not have been different
In their expression of lust for women
As men are not as thirsty and starving
As they were that time. Thirsts modulate cries.

Love demands corporal presence
Is not it a fallacy,
If an uprooted stake thought
That the orphaned vine
In its place would never seek
Any stake nearby?
Your beloved ceases to be so
Once you have left the venue.

Holy dip in love pool
To feel that I might be admired
Put me in moisture.
To feel that it is from you, a woman,
Left me fully wet.
When I confirmed it from hearsay,
It bathed you long.
When you yourself showed it
It immersed me total.
‘I can’t forget you. You’re more than
Any.’ Beena told me over phone
After our sojourn was over.
It sank me in the love pool
I was never awake from.

Choose companions
Woman, appear with women,
Les fair than you,
Or duller than you.
Then you are in focus.

Way to Heaven
He showed them the way to Rome
They learnt it and went to tell others,
Who in turn said to others, thus the process
Went on, with no one having really gone.

Weigh you before you strike.
With right and might,
You can fight
With right and no might,
You can weep.
With no right nor might,
You had better sleep.
You’ll have landed safe.

The result of love failure
With all freshness after bath
When you go at night to bed
With a man whom you have wed
You are not to know how bad
I crawl pinning in my bed.

Commenting your weakness.
Those who praise you in front
And those who criticize behind
Do so from their cowardliness.
The strong one does neither of them..

Kill or Skill?
Spain had a skill.
South Korea had the kill
They played, clashed
In the Korean Soil,
In front of forty thousands
Spectators, in the Quarter
Final of 2002 World Cup
Foot Ball tournament.
Korea beat Spain
By penalty kick.
Kill is stronger than skill

Being cheated is beyond us
Every one wanted to be vigilant
And at the end somehow they’re cheated.
They believe others as per the past
Which others had amended fast.

Pettily honest is the big cheat.
First you build up your credibility.
Then what you say or do are accepted.
Treacherous men started as honest men.
Don’t believe them for what they have been.

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.

Being away is the sweet.
All my beloved remain
As my sweet dreams
As I know them less
And with them I remained less.
The more the knowledge is
The less the liking is

Scale overturns
I hate one who is a womanizer
But not myself who hunted many.
In him, I find contemptible lust.
In me, it is something chivalrous.
