The Word That Causes

The word of importance

the word which carries weight

the word which commands power

the word that percolates through

the word that demands

the word that ruins

the word destroys

the word that plays havoc

is not anything ecstatic

is not anything lovely

is not anything that is ethical

it is that which we call

some with delight

some others with disgust

even more with scorn

is the word corruption

that has entered everywhere

robbing the morales

depriving the rightful

prospecting the powerful

making them rich in tons

that which we have to condemn

with a vigour and rigour

be it corruption everywhere.

A Voice For Poetry

Everything said there be a point

that needs the best follow-up

discreetly left from notice

that kept haunting me all over

prompted by many to speak it out

kept quiet all time in silence

watching the happenings in rapt attention

surprised to see the hub and the excitement

being the need of hour is not that

but a serious consideration of what to be added

each one shouting with fervour

wanting to be heard in the milieu

letting off the vital and the realism

that confounds the topic in discussion

with that I stood up

and in my usual soft yet stern voice

that which should be includes is not

what all of you are crying foul

it is poetry that should get the priority

as it being a voice of the most creative person

coming out with a speed and spur

putting out in style the mechanism

that would seem to lack interest

if not for this vehicle.

Started To Write A Poem

I started to write a poem
with keen insight diligently
halfway through
my heart cried
not at all nice.

Stroke everything off
and wrote once again
with descriptions
and scenic presentations
not at all good
said the heart.

Erasing everything
from of the paper
and from the mind
added the rhyme scheme
and elaborated the story
Oh! very bad , so very bad
exclaimed the heart.

Disappointed I threw
everything into the bin
went to sleep in disgust
with seething anger
cursing my inaptitude
fearing that I have lost
the heart chuckled.

Why do you kill me?
asked I in indignation
not allowing me to live
nor die in peace
leave me alone
I shouted loudly
the heart mocked at m
I told all these it said
just for fun.

Missed Calls

Phone calls deluge

calling off at the first ring

Resolved not to call back

the caller anymore at any cost

The Dashboard

Dashing through the board

I hit upon the dashboard

which has a record of mine

that being my posts in a twine

all that be the views for the day

the comments in a way

all in one form and design

that has been great and dwarf

with that of my counterparts

who do shine far more superior

greater in their popularity

and greatest in their reach

I see them with wide open eyes

as the dashboard tells them

with a statistics and graph

that has been a straight hit

that takes me by bit

and prompts me to rummage through

with a reinforced gusto all over.

A Yarn Of Intensity

There being a monument

built of pale red stones

standing magnificent

on the side of the road

looking beautiful .

Stopped by to have a look

the interior was fascinating

with a lovely embellishment

all on pillars and ceilings

a creative splendour .

The doors with adornments

intricate and pretty

the flooring shining and inlaid

with design art

made it even more attractive.

Any work of art

be it architecture or painting

they have an intimacy

that go to spin

a yarn of intensity.

The Skin Over You

Skin tells your story

a read tells me so

that took me by surprise

as I read it by chance.

Being your personal medical practitioner

skin having been with you all time

growing old with you too

knowing what goes within you.

A discoloration in your face

be the forehead , cheeks, nose

it tells you in its own way

there be a deficiency around.

The wrinkles and lines

you see not only in your face

that which we pa attention

but also elsewhere is indicative.

They say that there is a mishap

a great break down is somewhere

have to peruse the article deeply

ascertaining the areas of drawbacks .

it gave me a lively read

that which tells us what we need

as we could get things alright

if we keenly get through.

This being a revelation

wanted to share it to all

so I come in the morning

to be with you all in timing.

Not A Mere Tree.

The tree over there

rustles in the wind

with its branches moving

and the leaves making a noise

that is so minute and soft

not heard by many

but those who lend their ears

get an inordinate delight

as if some music is on

accompanied by the cadence of wind

punctuated by the movement of the branches

added up by the cackling of birds

backed up by the humming of isects

all beckoning you to a fete ‘

that goes unheard all the most

as we be preoccupied in our nest

held up by the daily chores

glued to the idiot box

addicted to the computer

missing the ecstasy there

that is being convened yonder

not very far from our precincts

where we pay nothing at all

but gain a lot with no interrogation

appeasing the mind and body.

Parks

Parks are breaks

man-made with great stake

for you to take

The Driest Weather

The drying yard looked parched
the washed clothes quickly dried
the pathway was horribly hot
the man stood there all caught
not in the rain that drenched
but under the sun that scorched
pivoted to the centre of the road
with cars on either side of the board
he could not move hastily all the way
creeping and negotiating through possible ways
he half burnt and more or less dead
reached home and flung on his bed
totally dehydrated and almost panting
as his wife rushed to him worrying
fed him with lot of plain water and juice
which relieved him from the bruise
resulting out of excessive heat .
