Month: July 2014

The figure is slender 
 I would call it though 
 thin is not the word 
the elegance is not found  
as thin is out of context  
 a wee aside from the rest 
 the  word slender goes easy  
 with fine touches in the feel 
 that thin lacks in effect  
  the  sensation and thrill  
one experiences in the description 
 where slender  travels with a comfort 
a light deviation from the seriousness 
a verse to enjoy and  go through  
with love and grace in total 
 an all one to all intensity in absolute. 

The style of speech 

 teased and taunted 

 the manner in which expressed 

 elucidated and elaborated 

 a matter that cliches the prime 

 that which deserves mention

 is not the speech in itself

 is that of the mimicry that goes with it 

 not from a stranger in all

 but from the own kith 

 that of a son in full

 talks the same way 

 with the similar rhetoric 

 started as a fun

 has become natural in whole

 that is how it turns 

 finally an unexpected revelation

 that of a mother to son

 bequeathed in generous 

 passed on with pride

 an affair that stands above 

 subjected to the familiarity 

 and the test of times.

The ceremonies went on

 the rituals were long 

the chant and recital 

took a full deal  of plunge 

the sanctity engulfed 

the devotion was so dense

 the gathering became one

 diffused in the divinity

they were in a trance

 knew nothing that happened

a juncture of enlightenment they say

 Could it be ?questions my mind  

a doubt that stimulates an apprehension

a feel that triggers a suspicion

 all those are true and genuine 

 be it a masquerade to hide.

I silenced my mind 

 with a stern “NO Way” shout 

 moved out  to breathe fresh.

Deals get through in a way

 cross the hurdles in a day

not anything of hard work

 that be more of money

the deal rides through smooth

 with money on the background

 be it one of business

 or that of politics 

 else be that of any other style 

the update of transaction

 in firm and fold sure 

that is how men go about 

 a perfection on the seal. 

A perversion there be 

a cousin of mine  he be 

known for his humour 

 takes life easy

 well into the eighties

talks with an alert

 cordial to all around 

 goes into a mood 

 throws tantrums all around

 if anything goes amiss

be it trivial or great

 odd is his move 

 an embarassment  to all 

 mostly to his wife of long

he is out of home for a while

 Poor old soul! feel sorry

 as little  adjustments could make 

a difference untold 

 that be not to him alone 

 also to the kith and kin

 who would have to bear with him

 for another few years might be.

Height not matter

 the sincerity very much caters

 the bondage in status.
