oh! boy.......

oh! boy......



oh! boy - poor boy
wangled a way
to get into
heart of pretty lady

flirts and flits
grabs flowers
takes presents
lady - sturdy, replies

tenderly repelled
machinations
of his, rippled
furiously cast

him off with
a blow of kiss
thrown away by denial.,
as lady nixed his schemes.,

being mendacious,
failed rendezvous
of making a way
into heart of Vivacious lady

party animal.........

party animal.....



party animal, pocket
filled paltry piece
of coins, his wallet
wallops and laments

splurge of money
by spendthrift.,
squanders every
penny he earns, hit

roads and tracks
moneylenders,
pawns off things
he possess

gains entry into casinos
proclaims proudly
as high roller - spends
on gambling lavishly

for high stakes, slavishly
penny worth - Heeeeeeee
indulged in spending spreeeee...!

reached
to touch clouds
to kiss
for the grace
of

chance,

with gleaming
shine,
bubbled I, with
infinite mirth
radiant with
ripples of
happiness,
took the flight
of joy,.flown

high skies,
let me say!

a magic,
you are like

face........

face........



lad walks out
frazzled, he set
to be caught
by a beautiful
lass, walks
along the streets
went past glass
house, dazzled
by attractive face,
poor lad hardly
realised it's
a doll of showcase
makes a relentless
plea to say few words
static chuckle
continues in the face
of it's, flashed a lass
of bright face
passed touching his
shoulders
startles by sudden
entrance, laughs at his
ignorance
of taking doll as
real lass,
goes about to
follow new
found pretty face...!

mind........

mind.......





dimensions of mind
unlimited, puzzled
by its power, for
every good and bad
played it's role, fooled
we by it's shrewdness,
wily and canny ability
it shows us beauty
gives us a moment
of ecstasy, agonize
as we feel the agony
mind spells it's magic
we flow and sail
in it's sea of emotions
bewilder and bewitched
struggle we ever,
to understand its gamble,
we take everything as
it comes,proceeds to
wring the life to the fullest,
extracting pain and pleasure......!

oh I feel pains go away
pleased my soul as I set

to prayer in praise of GOD
for bestowal of beatitude

nothing comes to hinder
my utmost faith over his

generous care, raise I ever
with his hand over my head

as protective cover, luster
with pleasure I always e'er.....!

clinking sounds,
twinkling lights,
jovial climes,
takes my heart
towards
to be a part
of festivities
its the day of
Jesus the Christ
lets welcome
his light of
peace to penetrate
deep chambers
of our souls
let's be purified
glancing his face.,
effulgence
of serene his presence
overwhelmed I
with the prayers
and tinkling of bells
as I sing a song
to celebrate
his birth
in joyful mirth......!

decision........

decision.......




hold behold the sight
fleeting figurines of tiny
joys, flight of desires
fancy dolls of inclinations

bends our minds visually,
steals our thought process
design material
machinations schemed

into taking us from ourselves
renders us to be slaves
of trivialities, be! cautious
of beguiling rosy scenery

for, you slide into murky
muddles, beware of spikes
shrouded as beautiful trees
of delights so hold

yourself behold the sight
ask yourself,  is it worthy?
of drawing your attention!
hold and behold the sight

take a clever decision
before you set to action.....!

take me.......

take me.......


take me along
the cloudscape
as I close my eyes
hold my hand
let's float over skies
let's leave everything
behind on earth's
crust
let's make all fall
in the furnace -
sweet nothings
and sour pleasures,
let them
fire and burn into ashes
let us fly together
to the world of
Neverland
let behold our souls
in symphony
of harmony
where we two
feel the cosmic
kingdom,
the everlasting Elysium....!

snuggle......

snuggle........




snuggled they together
taking warmth of bonfire
dusk of chilly winter
dazzled with Platonic amber

effervescent embers
sparkle, bursting into splinters,
fire flared up flickering in lividness
as both taken oath of treading paths,

- separate, henceforth! wishes
and inscribes moments
of togetherness on each other's hearts.,
heavenly affair of theirs to cross aeons....!

change......

change........





be the change,
embrace the new
trend, tide
along the wind
lean towards
the current, direct
the mind
to live in the present
have a tendency
to look into future,
don't let
customary rules
fade, keep intact
usual practices, adopt
newness
gather knowledge
from agedness
enjoy modernity
ignore not the antiquity .....!

paper........

paper.......




crimson hues
of dusky radiance
touch of it
gushed thoughts
reflected into
flush of emotions
and passions
jolted I with the
brimming feelings
scrambled I, to
pen with ink and
quill, the moment
I set to write, blitz
of waves washed
away the parchment
taking along the
mood of mine,
as if to pinch my heart
I too stood the tides
of distress, poked
with waves
of words, stroked
a blow with dagger
of soul, penned
on ethereal paper
that never
yields to erasure....!

get rid......

get rid......




remember the pain
of struggle
in the course of life
travel
everyday clamour,
glamour
of scrabble for
the survival
clamber over rocks
of challenges
swallowing sweat
of sadness
toiling away with
smiles
grounding at best
is utmost,
a humble option
&  a quest
to seek divine gift
of getting
rid of difficulties.........!

the nature laps
beckoning you!

as it bestows
with brimming
effulgence

showers

of grass blades
carrying dews

ambience,

enjoying
the blessings
drizzle of honey
as nature rains........!

romeo.......

romeo.......




rained you
breath - incense
of fragrance, bouquet
of words, exotic
petals of roses
aromatic ambience
romantic spillage,
I, lost myself
in your dallying
frolics, effaced
my conscience
indulgently lost
benevolence
unconsciously
entangled
in the hairs
of viciousness
selfishness
spreads its pangs,
does it makes any sense!
if I remain, only in your
tight embrace,
I beg to release
from your influence
I could be your
beloved - cannot
be Romeo forever...........!

goodness.........

goodness.........




Think good
feel the goodness
do good
discard badness
goodness aplenty
with abundance
everywhere, set
your sight to see
none but goodness
feel the omnipotent
remove the misty
veil, lift - feel the plenty
wealth, habit
of seeing bad
in every thing and every
where, become order of day
badness spilled with spell
bewitched, every
ordinary soul
shrouding goodness.,
unveil the cover
of bad, expose and display
the good, feeling goodness
spread the good
use the goodness liberally..........!

set to seek an answer
from humans............!

sun took
the flight hopped
& controlled the joystick
zoomed with vroom
reached new horizon
alighted &
viewed the sight
deciduous maple
leaves, scattered
around, set
his foot aground
glittered leaves &
sighed with freshness
pour of rays
infused air of
resplendence, leaves
dazzled with bliss.,
nudged by time
set to return - sun
hopped and seated
in the flight
zoomed with vroom
to the former zone
to deliver its duty of
shining with sheen .......!

          watches fumes clouds

  from chimneys,surging darkness
   swells taking pureness, engulfs
    pollution skylark sings, songs
  of pain with no place to perch on
  to breath fresh air all it gets, lungs
     filled with carbons, voice of its

     those olden days of lofty trees
             & lush foliage without
                        pollutants....................!

who promised never to sever

he away, every praise
carried
he least away,
wobbled never
by flattery
adulation
slithered from beneath
rooted
he stand firm,
irked at being be lauded
as he
foreseen the moment
as disguised
puffery
deserved least
he thought, of any
commendation
raised
his head above
in extolling
creator of senses - five
for the rain of
acclimation,
a momentary fleeting
and a rapture of
beguiling fascination.......!

retain.........

retain..........



making she
a maiden visit
fair of townlet
slender stance
with gracious looks
dazzled onlookers
with her long tresses
swaying as golden grass
glowed her face
as efflorescence, appears
as if she cloaked herself
with grassy robes,
glance of her
made birds cooings
heaped with greetings
like bracelets tinklings
as she heads along
shines as she adorned diadem of stars, glossy embellishment glow bright
under moonlight,
as clouds above made their way
enchanted by
her bewitching smile
slender lass grown she
amidst paddy fields filled with tender crops, caressed with dance by blooming buds, ruffled her mood
while she at Lily pond, blossomed kissing
flowers, to stir men up with fond fancies
who seeks her to hold & retain in their hearts......!

hate me, detest
with fondness
I seek your intense
anger & loathing,
drowning in abhorrence
of yours is my choice
choose I ever,
make tingling sensation
tickling your mind, perpetually
let me annoy,
let me irritate
I like being in your thoughts
every moment
every second, no matter what
if not being good
let me loose to be bad,
let me be spoiled
to draw your attention & affection
holding your soul for good always
with stamping an indelible mark of mine,
so hate, hate & hate me, with lots  of disdain.......!
