A Resurrection


It is a resurrection

coming out from the dense

had been in the dark  for no reason

forced to erupt with an intense.

 

She has been always quiet

silent be the byword for her nature

warm and cordial in her trait

a genial person with characteristic features.

 

Her eyes are big and lively

deep set with a curious look

a twinge of smile  is visible mostly

respect she commands in her books.

 

I know her from her birth

been a spectator all along

born amongst siblings  who hold your breath

audacity being their  virtue  for long.

 

A  different individual she be from the crowd

many mistake her silence for pride

proud she is in her way as she never bowed

equanimity be her valour as she never took sides.

 

Hard to find such a human in this society

where deceit and conceit abound

she had to come out of her confines due to necessity

as of now she has kept her foes well in bound.

 

Gossips and rumours  loom large about her

questioning her moves physical and legal

has to keep them confidential not for her

but for her progeny who bank on her in all levels.

 

That much for the one whom I know

many turn to her for advice in the go

none stand up to her in times of  woe

she goes with a smile and keeps her profile low.

The Glowworm


Being a glowworm

glows all the time  in term

sends light with a twinkle

beautiful to see it fly  in the dark.

 

Had been my pastime in my school days

I used to go about in a chase

caught the worm and locked it in a case

when everyone went to sleep

opened it  to see the worm glow.

 

The light  it emitted was in tri colours

orange, green and red multicoloured

opened with a hope it would be green

lo! it happened to be red  in a sheen

the way I was tricked by the worm in captive.

 

I left a piece of grass for it to eat

went to sleep with a feel upbeat

in between got up to find the worm intact

the night passed on with sleep not intact

the glowworm caught my fancy for long.

 

Be the plays of children in their days

might seem insignificant to the rest in ways

they carry a sensitivity so close to the child’s heart

never would she be able to forget the cast

like the glowworm which held me in a trance.

The Sun Around You.


With the sun almost around you

not warm as it usually is

scorching and burning  all through

no way to escape as it is

it chases you wherever you go

be it in your  bedroom

it follows you in a row

go into your living room

it shines through the window

once you pull the blinds  down

it squeezes through the openings

in a short while you would turn brown

well, that way be the happenings

congested and confined under the sun’s rays.

Meaningful


Short and sweet

meaningful and filled with tweets

brevity being wit,

Long Did I Know.


Long did I know

being that a show

perpetuated by a flow

perpetuated by a blow

rose up in slow

be there in a row

waiting for the foe

who being an innocent doe

walked up with a bow

that be the opportunity in toe

was trapped on the go

could have been beheaded lo !

escaped narrowly  in a  fraction Oh!

Galileo


Galileo through his telescope

extended a lot of scope

far away became near and besides

planets in the orbit took all sides

a scientist of remark  being arrested

his opinion sun is motionless and earth moves

being vehemently condemned as heresy

considered as  against Holy Scriptures in  proof

died  the great astronomer in house arrest

be the fate of greatness  in every quarter.

Do or Die


A day or two more to go

I would have to set the goal

could be one of in a target

that might place you in red

yet, I have to chose in a focus

otherwise it would turn into a bogus

might sound unfamiliar to you

might be somewhat of a roundabout  true

well that is always my way of doing

taking one in a row with a loving

drop the one halfway abruptly

remain half done undisputedly

go I to the other with a fervor

would I complete with an ardour

nay, never not I , going by

the way I do things by and by

stay historic throughout the days

but I do finish them  without a chase

that be in short a dimension of me

I remember my mother’s words “do or die. ”

On My Way To London


On my way to London

the beautiful city of the world

it is almost done

as I am moving  towards.

 

I am nostalgic

my  dream  lies before

it is euphoric

being a city  of lore .

 

I set foot on its soil

great do I feel

my pride winds up in a coil

demure in the deal.

 

I see the Thames

flowing with a song

look at the London bridge

famed through a song.

 

The magnificence of  the city

the Buckingham Palace

fascinates  the eyes being gritty

massive  structure in place.

 

The Hyde Park is a fantasy

with fountains in a sprinkle

the flowers  blossom in an adequacy

the petals being soft without wrinkle.

 

I notice many a poet

marching up and down the lanes

some walk in a quiet

others come with lines that rain.

 

Art and literature flourish

the artistic literary inclinations thrive

could see in a brandish

the  thoughts that spurt in fives.

 

Being a melting pot

home to many races and religions

London is a cynosure to all eyes in spot

would drive anyone into no nonsensical diligence.

A Lady Of Few Words.


Being a lady of few words

taciturn and curt she be

talks nothing unnecessary

whatever  be the deals.

 

To her integrity is final

nothing would override

even  the attractions  so bright

precepts mark her strength.

 

Never would you see such a lady

traditional in her outfits

conventional in her outlook

sober and sullen in her behavior.

 

I could go on and on  elucidating her traits

such being her poise  and grace

she  is  a personification of majesty

anyone would pay obeisance to her naturally

I Am Proud.


I am proud

too much proud  few say

used to walk

with head held high many say

still I do

with much more pride than yesterday.

 

I have been tagged proud

by my friends  in school

as well  as in college

even my siblings call me so

claim I not to be proud

as I am simple as ever.

 

How come I am seen proud?

I deliberate for a moment

am left clueless all the more

a light flashes through in a sudden

being quiet and withdrawn  from the crowd

could be misunderstood  in all possibility

as being proud.

 

Let all call me proud

I bother not any more

it  being a quality much acclaimed

adorns me without any fuss

I am glad to hold my head high

know you well I am proud.
