careless. – Meenas Poems

A Skid Just Now.

Had a skid just now

with my right leg going apart

the left leg holding firm

the leg going weak pushing forward

hstriking over a beautiful table

which fell down with a bang

resuming the balance soon after

I stood aghast looking around

Alas! both my left and right legs

along with the table’s legs

got bruised over the fall

being human I cried with pain

Lo! the poor table of mine

croaked and fell silent.

That being the stage now

having injured my wobbling legs

and having broken the table’s lovely legs

I stay mum groaning in silence

over the pain I incurred

purely being the fault of mine

resulting out of carelessness

certainly an outcome of the agitated mind

that has become almost frequent

stumbling and screaming

over nothing and for everything.

That is Me

Lot of things to do
before I go to sleep
so saying I went here and there
I climbed up in a hurry
then descending down the stairs fast
ran to the kitchen to wind up
seeing nothing amiss over there
turned quickly back to lock it
dashed on the wall by mistake
while a little water lay there
stumbled and lost the balance
fell flat on the floor
crashing my forehead on the pedestal
wailing Oh My God !lay down there for
quarter of an hour passed
with tears streaming down the cheeks
experiencing an excruciating pain.
Then, had to get up bearing the hurt
made way to the bedroom limping
fell on the bed after taking a pain-killer
while the hurt lay dormant for few hours
dozed off lying in a peculiar style
with my head raised high up
and my aching knee on the top of four pillows
