derangement

d

Pent up emotions flow, Through the words they show, Spiteful anger resents, Thoughts are but to dissent, Minds in emotional heat, Never has understanding meet, No wealth or health can grow, In a house, its members prone, To disinterested actions in a row, Nagging subversive anger fumes, Perverted actions are in tune, To negation, a goal unseen. Minds of children are at stake, When family is an...

GOODBYE CHILDHOOD!

G

Desperate childhood! You cannot chide me, You are dead, In the grave of time. Sunken childhood! You cannot touch me, You have drowned, Into the bygone. Desolate childhood! You cannot bog me, You are a void, Toying with darkness. Tyrant childhood! Bitter and barren, A concatenation of mockery, Myself on verge of jeopardy. You were a ravaging fear, I fear the thought of you near, You were the...

Water

W

The silky saline water of the seas,Gets into the fishy groves in earth,Filling cavities, forming the beauty store,Lashing the shore, forming a shapely surf. Nature’s gift the water is,In body of beings, it is blood,From the grey clouds it is shedAs water to which we are chained,When ice melts, it is drained,During floods, death is rained. Water is an omnipotent force,Gliding and streaming into...

efflorescence

You are a tricky lover,Hovering around for a cover,Why do you totterFor so weak a matter?Why don’t you decideYour feelings that preside?How fatal it is to fall,In love, you can’t stall,You conceal your emotion,Bringing it to confusion,Your eyes are so bleary,Your track seems scary,Pent-up love is pretence,Love in dark is dalliance,Love in light is efflorescence. ( Love mixed with fear is...

thorny dues

t

Brimming with colours of gaiety, Is the life of a lover, Brilliant as ever, Fostering the games of a deity, Loving the lures of a flower, Charming as ever. Uncertain is his gamut, Selfless love is his input, Fights dauntlessly humans, With follies many as never, The seeker doesn’t stop, But climbs the hill top, Where love for him will gather, Thorns few are always due. ( Sometimes we have to face...

mental mortuary

m

There is a sudden squeal, Devouring a scattered meal, Pricks and pangs inflicted, A member is always indicted, It is an uncontrolled sodomy, A fertile ground for villainy, It is an abattoir for a soul, Meditating on a fixed goal Splurging is divine, No room to whine, Foolishness is ardently revered, Wisdom is vehemently scoffed, Calmness is religiously absent, Minds of members always upset, Death...

a continuance

a

Flushing fumes cloud my brain, Work and conflict lead to strain, Unable to bear heat and cold, Dependence had an unavoidable hold, Unable to contain all myself, Trudged to a source of help. Office colleagues found me swooning, They brought some palm nectar enlivening, I decided to continue my trail, Towards the job nailed, The job was instrumental To fulfil my life’s essentials. ( When job...

love

Wonder of a new world brings in joyOf the lush green grass,The breath of freshness,The new world of imagination,Reflecting through the realm ofNew gay colours of profusion,Where the imagination dwells,Feasting the mind on the fruits ofUnending bliss, sensation and love. Soft sweet mellow love dressed inGolden dress of royalty,Fidelity and virility,Is marred by nothing but the doubtsAnd fears of...

Changing wave

C

Changing wave changes the mind,When mother makes the children grind,She is close to the child who earns,Derides the one who chooses to burn,Time in work which does not breed,Money to fulfil familial needs.She compares children’s pays in store,Inches towards the one who has more,Praise and curse is a faulty game,Money has love which is tamed,A good pay gives a feeling grand,Mother’s love, then has...
