Meenas PoemsA lover of classical Carnatic music.
An avid reader, passionate writer, into stocks and investments for livelihood
it is heartening to note
the cordiality in all
the kindness in most
the sincerity in execution
the integrity in the undertakes
the genuineness in speech
an absolute contentment prevails
well, this is a Utopia, not real
the imagination gives birth
the ideals take care
the growth is envisaged
a demonstration is expected
Her smile has left her forever
her face is in a quiver
see no brightness whatsoever
it is long and forlorn all over.
Why has she turned so dull?
her face was always full
brilliance was her strength in all
now she draws a null.
Wonder, what has happened?
could it be a mishappen?
that has dampened
know not what is rampant.
Searching for coins
while the mendicant holds the bowl
nothing to give.
Could have given
the notes instead of coins
the mind refuses.
Notes or coins
whatever it could be most
a joyful remembrance.
I have denied
both the notes and coins
be an evil person.
Exotic lands of the east
densely occupied and full of dust
hold your breath otherwise
be the grandeur of these places
awe-inspiring architecture
amazing culture and literature
the piety and divinity that surrounds
the grace and poise of the religion
the affable and friendly people
all hold your breath for a while
as you get diffused in the atmosphere
a few unwanted elements surface all through
the cleanliness and the infrastructure
prompt you to sniff and scorn for a time
sure in a way the idealism that wraps the entire
bewilders and bewitches you on the whole
not improper to say that east is gorgeous
no wonder the sun rises in the east.
Fumbling for coins
I got hold of a tuft of notes
a real issue at joints
where coins are rare.
Flashing my notes at the counter
I found no response
the man scorned at me with contempt
a piquant situation instead.
Notes, tens, hundreds and thousands
are discarded and set aside
as if they have no value
paradoxical it sounds indeed.
The perfect change should be there
wherever you go all the way
no bargain is possible at the juncture
ironical it seems in fact.
That be the cause all through
a proper sail through is experienced
with an exact commitment
however, small or big it might be.
Credit card is Greek to me
Debit card is Latin to me
Cash Is English to me.
I know to count
I count very fast
both coins and notes.
I do not have a credit card
nor a debit card
have only little of cash.
I like not to carry forward
Cards, both credit and debit
seem to me a liability.
I buy what little I can
with what little cash I have
else refrained from buying.
I may sound a crook
I might look a fool
I am really one.
I go by my way
never into the sway
all through the day.
One comes after another
if all comes together
it would be rather
a stuck up in the corner
happens sometimes not ever
besieged by issues altogether
unexpected and sudden rather
before resolving the first one for sure
comes the other in a speed in a refer
involving into the new one a little slower
barges in the third one seeking shelter
tackled carefully one after another
know not how I came out without a shiver
still the hurt lingers within whatsoever.
a
The faculty of reasoning
goes with a resonance
why and how always boggles
the cognitive power overwhelms
certain factors need no reason
happen as if with an ease
could not give an explanation
a blind acceptance is a resolution
the faith helps you to progress
the doubts keep you from promotions
take it easy as in the go
you would cover the distance in speed
the suspicion halts your development
question to a limit, no further
an excess of analysis would stifle
there lies a power far superior
would take care at the time of distress
well, rely on the supreme power
do the rightful at the right time
would lead you to triumph in no time.
A place where you live
be it small or big
belongs to you full and full
the affinity you develop
the affability you grow
puts you in a comfortable seat
like not to go away for long
wish to sit there with joy
whatever be the odds and struggle
a spirit holds anyone always
is it good or bad I do not know
for me it takes me very far
into the realms of fantasy
where I spend most of my time
dreaming, day dreaming
enjoying every minute of my life.
Predictions go wrong
diction goes in a song
demonstrations go strong
dedication takes you long
distractions make you do wrong
concentration makes you write a song
be those all in an amazing song
enable you to do nothing wrong.
