A lover of classical Carnatic music.
An avid reader, passionate writer, into stocks and investments for livelihood
In a dilemma almost
being the idea foremost
the way to publish
and to establish
my status as a poet.
I know not where I am
ignorant of my poems’ reach
innocent of how people find it
I keep writing every day
with the hope of seeing the light.
I do not wish to self-publish
as I feel it is not credible
being blowing one’s own trumpet
I would be more than grateful
if any one extends an offer..
Is my wish too greedy?
Would I ever see my poems in a book/
Are they worthy to be printed?
goes on my mind with so many deliberations
Will I? will I? my heart cries.
While Dead
A man died a day ago
people call him great
as he lived till yesterday
he was at default.
The flaws in life
grow and magnify while alive
the defects minimise
look nothing after death
The man dubbed as wayward
while he was living
turns wise and saintly
after his last breath.
The good that we do
lives after the mortals
the bad that we commit
is interred with the bones.
The memory is so short
as years pass on
fast
the dead man becomes history
and his deeds a story.
That be the way everywhere
a saint lives forever
a bad man dies a death
and remembered for never.
An Offender
The behaviour of one
be that a phenomenon
a treacherous denomination
a grab with a nomination
a siege with a stealth
a beating under the belt
a sly motivation of note
desirous not to unquote
tricky in a way
desperate in a sway
gather the best with a skill
unfortunate it is still
not able to enjoy the fruits
laboured so hard to loot
the steal turns elusive
not in straight conclusive
seen as in other latent strokes
that which had been acquired in hoax
falls from his grip in a close
stands he an offender in trial
that
is his fate in style.
The lovely mass
the congregation of all Christians
evoked piety enmasse.
A Controversy
A Picture Of Winter
It catches quick
as fast as burning fire
known as fear.
A family I am familiar with
known for its modernistic feel
westernised in every field
be it in living or eating style
think high of the other side
speak not their own language
lisp in an Anglican style
hold their nose high
with a patented name
they are that way in a side
have another appearance in a mode
that to be too much traditional
and very much sticky to the community scroll
follow each ritual in the fore and to the core
such as the formalities that go with it
be that the step by step formulas
programmed by their ancestors with diligence
right from prenatal to death with an inference
blindly adhered to now for the sake of it in the go
with the money achieving the centrifugal sho
w
a contradiction the keeps me beyond comprehension
an irrelevancy that overwhelms the complacency
know not what to do appreciate or depreciate?
