Dialogue Turns Monologue.


There be a dialogue

cannot call it a dialogue

it is a monologue

a conversation between  two

where the one is slow

the other one more garrulous

talks all the more meaningless

tells of her beauty in no ordinary terms

while the quieter one listens with a firm

the talkative goes on and on with no break

the silent spectator stares at him without a take

the eyes get tired and wink now and then

the mouth never minces a word in strength

the dialogue turns into a monologue

happens all the time whenever I log

that be the way along  the stream

where one glitters with a gleam

the other shines with a dream.dialogue-symbols

The Shortcomings and Shortfalls


The shortcomings and shortfalls

should never take the call

their suffix short interprets clearly

they are for period very short exactly

never make a fuss of a shortcoming

be it an enquiry of death or birth

be it a greeting missed  or mirth

could be an oversight or intentional

do not think it is irrational or rational

let you examine yourself thoroughly

then point your finger at others  firmly

without the self-analysis nothing turns

remember  that and go ahead without spurn

the newborn is innocent about that prevails

the dead have flown from these worldly travails

reminds me  of those who are alive  and lively

do at times keep away from each other knowingly

recall a forgotten one and make it  an issue knowingly

the same could be said of shortfalls

they are simple when reviewed not pitfalls

could not we who breathe live  in peace?

that would bring about benevolenceDo-not-strive-to-overcome-others-but-our-own-shortcomings. with please.

Fear A Quick Rise.


Words come to me very slowly

and I write very lethargically

go through it again  very lazily

sit there with a gaze unwittingly

my writings  are simple   as such

there is no great effort as much

I write with a simple touch

neither a satire nor an allegory

either be it a poem  sans glory

I write in an ordinary style

never refer any  file

this is my attempt and a try for long I fly

for long this is how I fly

almost without any slide

as it is easy to glide

and move up gradually

as I fear quickquick rise rise very truly.

Darwins Theory


The theory of Darwin

is of a great win

founded on a strong basis

could be a lively thesis

all life is related  almost

birds and bananas in the foremost

man and animals with common ancestors

the theory goes around with great zest

disputed and undisputed  time and again

Darwin’s still holds the rein

evolution is a process continuous

goes on with a flow tremendous.Natural selection

Up And Down


The day yesterday

indeed a taxing day

a drive up and down

on a road of ups and downs

the sun was never up and down

it shone all through the ups and downs

have to negotiate every up and down

returned on the same road of ups and downs

once back home rushed up and down

arranged the house which was upside down

fell on the bed not up and down

dreamt of events that ranged  up and down

Am I obsessed with up and down?ups and downs

Fairest Of All


Mirror, mirror on the wall
who is the fairest of all?
each one of us has this call
whether we are tall
or look like a dumb doll
round and plump like a ball
no matter what we are in self
we are proud of our self
say to the mirror
“I am the fairest of all.”

The Destination


That which happens today

was never thought of yesterday

an announcement made today

is denounced tomorrow, the next day

the transitoriness is so remarkable

yet we live with a preamble

we want to proceed as we wish

there is another factor that would dish

dash the thoughts on the wall

we go frantic with our call

that does not matter a wee more

we succumb to the pressures all the more

the impermanence is always there

let us open our eyes and stare

then realize the positives

eschew the negatives

embrace what is possible

leave out the impossible

an acceptance leads us to a satisfaction

peace takes us to thedestination destination.

More At Home


More at home

never like to roam

a home is a home

small or big

like to dig

eat few figs

read a book  with interest

that is the way I rest

with that my life is full of zest

a read, a write and a sleep

with thoughts not very deep

I stay at home all the time

not matter when the clock chimes.read and write

Elegy For White Sugar.


The white sugar goes awry

it is too sugary

refined  with chemicals

possesses most radicals

injurious  in the run

best to shun

it decreases good cholesterol

increases diabetics and stroke in allwhite sugar

go back to the old timer

one of jaggery  as a primer

else less refined one

brown in tone

organic in all respects

proposes a term best

that be the value to old

a return is an attempt bold

savoury and lovely

protective  and less risky

a straight about turn is prudence

the research behind it is a relevance.

The Dance I Know Not.


The rap and the dance

the drums and the chance

rant the sky with a trance

glued to the pageant I watch

they throw and catch

I sit  amidst the din

the sound emanates from a tin

rock and rock they go

down and down they bow

what is it all about?

dance I am an odd man out.

noise once again rises high

exasperated, I sigh

this way it goes for long

I could hear no song

only sounds in an yell

Luckily I could hear the bell

Gosh ! the program comes  to an end

I make my way out negotiating a bend
