Singing to her baby
a lullaby they say
she sings not from prescribed verse
makes her own song spontaneously
loads them with her feelings
adds her love to the baby
tells how she brought him into the world
speaks of her pains and aches
how she finally gave birth to the little one
a lovely expression set to no musical tune
accompanied by no beat or rhythm
touches the heart of the listener
putting the babe to a sound sleep
the song, no lullaby, tells a lot
a different song with a distinctive tune

Preferences In The Way
The desire to go out
that being a compulsion throughout
be it a neccessity or not ina close
getting out of the house
turns an obsession all throughout.
This be the thought of many
the deisre being not funny
catches itself like a fire
sets in a glow without tire
a firm outlook in a way.
A few feel not so
preferring to sit at home
settled in the comfort zone
enabling a procure with a phone
a strange phenomenon in the fray.
They being quiet and calm
taking life in its form
seeking the solace at home
getting things done without a roam
a curious being seen less in the routine.
The preferences go with the individual
that being so in every ritual
be it in shopping
or entertainment
presenting an attachment or detachment
claiming a distraction without a stray.
I Have Won
I have won.
Really,I have won.
It being an award
which is its own reward.
I stand tall and proud
among the learned crowd.
I think of my cute blog
I usually log
not once or twice
I really do not know
as it is my resting place and flow
where my thoughts gather
where I sit for hours rather
writing what all I experience
not bothered about their relevance
It being a canvas little and colourful
wherein my feelings get sketched in full
not with paint and caricatures
but with words and features
extolling the greatness of nature
enhancing the human qualities in stature
finding myself occupied all through the day
at times in the nights too in a way
with my children all living far
with no duties and customs to bar
I keep on writing with a fervour
with my mind always in a hover
while my body is at a position static
my thoughts go about ecstatic
therein comes the creativity in hand
which slowly and gradually disbands
with the expressions come my reflections
one by one they fall into places in conjunction
with the language with which I am familiar
being a perception that might be unfamiliar
I write for long casting my spontaneous feelings
deftly and skilfully adorning my ramblings
finding a place in the word press platform
that inadvertently has lent a lively form
with that my poetic sojourn which began a few years ago
is rising up to levels not very great but remarkable in the go
with my followers increasing slowly and steadily
while most of my poems gaining readership readily
my tryst with writing has started off though late
I hope would stand the test of times and find a rate
being appreciated for its simplicity and lyricism
along with the dominance of rhythm and surrealism.
With winning this award as a senior I stand with pride
recalling the day I clinched the University top rank in glide
memories keep gushing one after another in great stride
raising me aloft and high with an applause and appreciation by the side.
The Power Of Love.
A call in the early hours
came from a senior lady
not for anything serious
but for a help really
though not a very big obligation
nor an expensive deal rather
being a small purchase in supposition
that of a zari dhoti in grandeur
she still is overseeing meticulously
the husband’s need in detail
wanting to complete his wardrobe carefully
with this special buy in retail
loving to see him attired so finely
for the forthcoming festival
Diwali the one of lights mainly
expressing her love for him subtly.
Nice is a simple word
with lot of meaning
carrying innumerable connotations
interpreting various expressions
enumerating different ideas
elucidating numerous thoughts
expressing multitude of feelings
standing for both likes and dislikes
indicating good and bad
involving great and small
all of them in a word
all of them comprised
all of them compressed
with the word “Nice”.
A personification of simplicity
nice,you go o
ut nicely
with a nice smile and a cheer nice too.
A child over there,
sits in a corner,
with nothing to share,
looks like a loner,
none to care,
expresses a sordid groan,
nervous like a hare,
crys like a mourner,
confined to a bare,
thinking aloud no sooner,
falls down in scare,
collapsing every other in a flare,
well, that is the end of the fair.
A smile is a smile to me,
it is an expression of happiness,
It looks so to me,
See beyond it,say many
There would be a tinge of joy,
There would be a trace of melancholy,
it would bear an outline of anger,
it would conceal a violent temper,
it would camouflage ignorance,
it would also hide a vengeance,
If that is so, I feel,
the smile is no longer a smile.
Effervescence

Bubbles of gas jump out with joy,
A pop sound bursts out in a coy,
Making a fizzle and a drizzle,
Over the face in a close nestle.
The fuming liquor murmurs awhile,
Frothing in the surface with a travail,
Shooting up in a quixotic rush,
Settling down with an almost silent hush.
Likewise the mind jostles in mad enthusiasm.
Overwhelming the expressions with a pointed schism,
Galloping in a quickened trotting movement,
Living in a world of dream and entertainment.
The bewilderment lasts for a temporary phase,
The enchantment fades off in an effusive trace,
Revelling in a state of heavenly ecstasy,
Subsiding to a trend of subdued frenzy.
Pop goes the gas with a start,
Down ,down does it get down in a dart,
Hurrah cries the heart in the start,
Lo!Lo! does it slips down in a blot.
