Marriage of hearts
not one in our part
marry for money.
Marriage of hearts
not so in our part
marry for status.
Marriage of hearts
not so in our part
for the sake.
Marriage of hearts
as seen in our part
marry for convenience.

Like to view
wish to review
like to ensure
wish to assure
like to deviate
wish to radiate
like to talk
wish to walk
could all these be
could all these not be
wishes and likes increase
never at any time decrease
affirmations and rejections
with no causes or representations
fly high with no follow-up
therein comes a round-up
unexpected and unknown
all such experiences pass unshown.

The Black Crow Calls
A crow yonder
cries with a fervour
not once but many a time
with a loudness akin to a chime
at regular intervals from morning
it thinks its cry is a sing
goes on and on with a diligence
know not why it caws with such indulgence
people say it perhaps foretells an event
the arrival of guests or any other deviant
a diverse from the regular course
and a derivation out of source
pertinent to a superstition
present an appreciation
a feel could be this way
a thought out of the way.
Rains come and go
a novel phenomenon in the go
there was a drizzle an hour ago
then the cool breeze in a soft blow
again the sharp showers with a flow
a lull for a time without any catch
a repetition 
in full not in the patch
it is wonderful to watch
very magical in touch
an enchanting experience in all

Signs True.
The regards people have for you
could be seen not in an outward show
could feel subtly in their interaction with you
not very explicit and never with a glow
seen through with intensity
the gentle talk with a shine in the eyes
the soft touch with a smile in the face
the voice cordial speaks no lies
the intention is reflected in a space
all these are proofs that they admire you
these are signs that tell us the truth.
A sparrow brown and white
came down in a flight
along with came down another
could be his wife or lover no matter
played with affection in the green land
which stretched far and looked grand
a black squirrel hopped and jumped
looked around in great pomp
saw the birds together in love
moved towards them on a tiptoe
the little sparrows flew away
each one in a different direction sad to say
the lovely scene ended up in such a way

A Professor Dies While On Duty
It is a death of profound grief
a relative, Professor of long years
worked until the last with a belief
dependence on the children causes a fear
breathed his last in the most unexpected
not at home or hospital as one would expect
but in the college where he was respected
lecturing his favorite solid mechanics subject
slipped and collapsed all of a sudden
a glorious death to a teacher of five decades
to him the college was the beautiful garden
he worked even after retirement, not for fun
the transitoriness of life shocks one
the man who is so full of life and bright
becomes a corpse in a second
Well, that is the truth many fail to realize
behave rudely, speak ill and are biased
they live in faults and sins
dodge and deceive their own kin
the curse would befall not only on them
follow 
their progeny as well

A Travel Less Travelled
Round and round
I go in concentric circles
an unending travel.
Round and round
I go in a roundabout
a tiring journey
Round and round
I go through a monotony
a fathomless approach.
Round and round
I go to a blind spot
a target unreachable.
Round and round
it is always in rounds
not one tangible
Seem not to move stagnant
stagnant it remains
a push could prove
a fruitful gain
know not how to do
stand there in the queue
overtake and a surpass
has never been my pass
so wait is the only way
patience throughout the day
recall the words of Milton
they also serve
who stand and wait,
The morning calls so often
makes me jittery
with eyes half open
get up hastily
stretch the hands lazily
pick up with a reluctance
speak with no indulgence
whoever it might be
having lost the glee
the sleep early in the morning
and a wake up with a yawning
keeps me in cheer the whole day
lost now by this untimely call.
untimeliness in any way
provokes a fury all day.
