The boats sail smoothly over the waters
the fishermen singing with joy
catching a treasure after few pulls
they being not only of fish
but a drenched bag very heavy
the hook being sharp and slender
could hold not such pressure
the weight tries to slip into the waters
painstakingly retrieved from the fall
the men thought they having pulled a lot
decided to return home before dusk
with the air being conducive and pleasant
sailed back home in glee and expectation
eager to open and see what is in it
On their return they took the bag to a corner
where no one dare to enter and eavesdrop
unfastened the bag and found wholesome treasure
that of sea water pearl having a value very high
with gleaming eyes they came back home
uttering not a word to anyone for fear of spy.

Honey Being Sweet.
Honey is sweet everyone knows
it is also slightly bitter many do not know
depending on the source of the collection
everyone should know.
The bees go round the garden
be that of any field for that matter
selecting the best possible resource
setting about with an indulgence.
Sitting on the flower blooming fully well
protruding well ahead from the stalk
the buzzing bees settle strongly on them
pulling out the maximum from the pollens.
The busy bees do go above the branches
that come out of the fruit trees
invariably mango, neem and tamarind
that grow in abundance in the tropics.
The honey from these trees
have a tinge of bitterness and sourness
that which being natural in the fruits they bear
having a potential medicinal value.
The honey that being gathered
get deposited in the racks made by man and nature
where the Queen bee does the extraction
while the honey starts dripping.
The story of honey related the task
that being not sweet as it tastes
quite exasperating as it is seen
yet serving mankind with good cash and kind.
Honey being a word referring to sweet heart
the sweetness ascribed to it comes after a task
an analogy crosses the mind know not why
that true love too comes after serious deliberation.
Legacy Passes On
The genes they say
get reflected in the looks
a semblance being found
between mother and daughter.
Finding themselves in appearance
thoughts do catch them
being predominantly seen
as revealed in interactions and speech.
Apparently genes flow across the qualities
might be not shown openly
surfacing explicitly in the behaviour
the resemblance being pronounced.
Watching carefully the attitude of two girls
with whom I am closely associated
drew a parallel between then and their grandmother
they not live close but far away from each other.
They being together for a month in two years
do talk over the modern gadgets
but the two girls subconsciously inherited a quality
that of loving their home much .
The grandmother being tied to her home
enamoured by its charm get things done over a phone
the girls do not relish to venture out
wanting to relax in the comfort of their homes.
This made me deliberate for a while
wherein and how do these children learnt being so
concluded I that it is not
learning but inheritance
a legacy being passed on to them from their senior
Those Who Create.
The brush which paints
knows not its work.
it being a silent spectator
doing that it has to do
rather aiding the one who does.
Being that in truth
that which one helps
or that one which is used
can never stake claim
over the accomplishment.
Not understanding the creativity
the helpers and the facilitator
try to assume the fame with a pride
there by ignoring the creator
who endeavoured to finish it beautiful.
This goes to all the creations
be it in art or architecture
be it in the making of man
the hand of the doer is invisible
those who pt forward gamble not ordinary.
The mother who carries the child
brings him up with love
certainly not owns the child
being appointed to make him into a man
with that her responsibility gets over.
She is akin to a brush , pen
similar to a carrier
never the craftsman or sculptor
who works hard to create
never she could aspire to be so.
The Protests
The protests down the lane
shouting has become profane
objections are to be raised
need not become a pursuit.
An agitation there may be in form
could be silent and firm not in storm
requiring no chaos and dilemma
the gravity should be made to be felt.
The mere anger and cries there be
could no longer bring change in the alibi
working out on a pact that strikes
and knocks the doors of the programs.
Following it up in great punctuality
executing the design with balanced itinerary
leads to a classic destination of progress
ensuing a thrive and prosperity in the sojourn
Restoring The Old
Reviving a bet
recycling the old
renovating the building
redoing on the whole
brings an expense much more.
Creating is the best form of doing
aping is the easiest mode of execution
restoring being difficult performance
requires a skill and proficiency overwhelming
undoubtedly to get the original back in shape.
Being so, restoration needs care utmost
minute details have to be looked into intensely
emphasizing a keen insight and research foremost
that takes the procedure to a scrutiny sober
releasing a structural pattern of great value.
Mostly none undertake this assignment
as it demands patience and deft handling
involving a time more than needed that went in to
the original
accompanied by the fear of not spoiling the element
that of restoring the nuances in the old.
The Poor Girl
The onus of the girl child
there being a push-off
than father hating her
for no reason whatsoever.
The girl born suffers all through
being cursed by the father
held with affection by the mother
not openly but in the inner heart.
She grows up with the years
second to her brother
who gets all the goodies
she being happy with the remains.
The boy goes to school
no matter he studies or not
the girl is sent to the primary
then drops out considering the family’s poverty.
The girl shares all the responsibilities
the years when she has to play
she spends doing household chores
even goes out to do domestic work.
The little salary she earns
adds to the family’s sustenance
with the father always half drunk
and the mother toiling in the sun.
With little education and innocence
she gets married at a tender age
bears the yoke of marriage
never would her husband share.
Pity is the girl’s life slogging and working
never could she rest for a single day
with the child on her way
praying that she not give birth to a girl.
The Natural Design
The silvery line of the sky
the sun’s golden hue
an attire of sapphire over the waters of the ocean
the hills with an emerald tinge
the orchards with fruits hanging like rubies
the dew drops sitting pretty like pearl
the tomatoes exhibiting the tone of the corals
the stars come out twinkling like diamonds
with that the platinum designations come forward
extending a lovely thematic expensive aura of delight.

The Stone Having A Heart.
The stone remains unturned
It is been there for long
being thee in the same position
braving the heat and rain
none bothering to turn it over.
What lies below it no one knows?
Why is it lying there no one knows?
With that being in the same place
and being in the same position
lying there untouched being a mystery.
People pass through it paying no attention
Children paly around it considering it a huge toy.
Lovers sit over it talking for hours together.
There being a buzz of activity all around it
yet it remains undisturbed and unperturbed.
The stone has no heart or feel they say
stone hearted being derived from this reference
let that be true as found in the annals
but to me I feel it has a feel too
that has become immune to the trials it had encountered.
The stone being most patient and bearing
stays there all through watching the bustle
never getting into it for heaven’s sake
it being also kicked and dashed by people in anger
staying silent and calm in the scramble
illustrate its silent laughter at man’s ignorance.
