Meenas PoemsIf my heart lets me in
it is my mind that lets me out
so letting in and letting out
has been with me all throughout
never in all the most
never out at the most.
An intermediate between in and out
Well that has been ny life all out
with no significance tantamount.
Sitting in my parlour
with a book in hand
seeing through the window
at the lovely hedges and grass
dozed of to a deep slumber.
A little while after in an hour
woke up suddenly in a reverie
felt someone is peeping through the window.
gathering myself up rushed towards in a falter.
Finding nothing different reclined once again
Yet again the feeling came
and becoming upset and jittery
resuming calm stood motionless for a second.
A minute after saw a tuft shrub making moves
with the strong wind that blew over
Well, it was the shrub which had peeped in
during its forward move causing me to hang over.
The bragging old muff
was talking all bluff
in a situation tough
with behaviour rough
interrupted by cough
with voice gruff
heaving with a puff
he being with no stuff
created an unpleasant buff
making everyone deaf.
The sky gets dark in the afternoon
with the clouds gathering in one fold
It is still and cool with no winds
all signalling a bountiful rain.
Lo! nothing happened as it remained so
pleasant and chill, delightful and delicious.
Like men rains do dodge too.
The philosophy of life changes
with the people going ahead
in science and technology
adapting themselves to web-based life
as anything and any other thing
comes to them on the screen
browsing, searching, linking
all in minutes and seconds
very much different from the world
a decade back with posts and telegrams
taking their sweet time to get across.
With the innovations men like to align
with the fast tracking and dashing lifestyle
letting down the lethargic thoughts of deliberations
and discussions all long winding and tedious.
A new conceptual deliverance has come to live
with the tidings crucial and gorgeous.
Occasions need to be discriminated
as public and private and intermediate
that which goes with a grandeur
on events as small as birthdays
take us to an out of proportion element
whereas an incident of honour by an award
granted for stupendous services
and for contributions to art and science
go unrecognised and unknown at larger levels.
The recipients of these honours meritorious
would shun such publicity goes without saying
but the desire to celebrate a birthday
an anniversary, sweet sixteen
all take us to a typical distraction
Well, that might be an individual’s wish
but could be done with less expense
while
moderation could be settled in for.
With the intangible around
we are groping for it long
making efforts to grasp it
but it eludes much try
lapsing from the catch
flies high up sometimes coming near
yet when we are about to reach it
it goes with the wind to the skies
far into the eternity never to be seized at all
never to be got at all
never to be enjoyed at all.
yet we go on striving for the unattainable
losing our days and hours
destroying ourselves in the vanity
showing our love and ambition for the unreachable.
Going about saying that I am most reasonable
going about remarking I am the most honest
would look good for a time
not always as it becomes a monotony
keeping us away from reality
taking us to a world of fantasy
leaving us to brood over and over again
that we are heavenly beings wrongly put on earth
A quick get into the world and merge
not minding to diffuse in the throng
not keeping away from the crowd
might look refreshing and entertaining to most
but a few amongst us would wish to keep away
not able to cope up with the rash and splash
standing out in the corner perceiving the world’s move
and accepting the thrive without any remorse.
As put forth there are many variants amongst us
one thinking great and high reigning at the top of the world
the other picking up with the majority in the sail
while the rest refraining from both but walking measuredly
makes this world of habitation with both long and short entities
who fly high with wings imaginary higher and higher
who float on the sea with thoughts ordinary
who tread along the path with inclinations strange and chaste
that go to the make up the world in all its extensions.
Standing out from the crowd
very distinct from the rest
also looking highly distinguished
she is a lovely lady in form.
As dignity been a part of her
she does things with such care
writes with such flair
and speaks with words rare.
Admiring her from far
my heart goes out to her
acknowledging her poise
and appreciating her grace.
She being a lady of great skill
associated with greater will
she goes with motivational fill
rendering great services without bill.
Thwarting the plans of others.
threatening to destroy.
throwing out in anger.
throttling one over nothing.
talking high in terms false.
telling lies in notes proud.
has been hs manner
has been his fashion
has been his life
so long and so forth.
Will he change for good?
at least now in his past mid age.
A thought that gets stuck
knowing him for so long
