Nice to be reviewed
nicer to be not reviewed
at times meaningless comments
come up and torment
write a poem as it comes
do not bother what next comes
it is your mind that works all along
do not wait for criticism any long.

Kuala Lumpur –A City for All
A city of importance
Kuala Lumpur professes
a great distinction
cosmopolitan in outlook
not very expensive
a city of potential
heavily trafficked
a beautiful place
with a lot of attractions
the twin towers of recent
to the Bird’s park to nature lovers
malls of sophistication all over
high rise buildings stand atop
with a weather pleasant
rains every evening
the city of the east
could be dubbed
as an affordable one
whilst Singapore being adjacent
speaks discipline and decorum
this city is not very tight in a sense
prone to burglary and mini thefts
it has a grace of its own
being simple to simple folks
claiming snobbishness too
where people turn to be fashionable
a city to you and me and all
that could be its call.
Egocentric
it is a delight
to be in a limelight
not once but often
could be in tens
a love to chair the meet
takes up the thought upbeat
could you call it a feat?
never would I in any treat
as it is absolutely egocentric
never a feel of a generic
An Abridged Version
He came
He conquered
He returned .
A story short
long one abridged
a three line one
of a three-year struggle
presented so well
as if it happened
quick as a wink
all in a speed
the close and a shut
of the eyelids
a portrayal so nice
could you believe?
nay, I do not.
No One is a Foe.
A cat on the wall
I see him on my wall
burly and brown
whiskers long and grown.
The cat on my wall
sits tight on the wall
stares at me fiercely
am an intruder truly.
Sits there for long almost tired
unhappy as his wall is shared
I too, for my part, sit there tired
unhappy as my wall is shared.
Anger brews and fury rises
seen in the cat’s eyes
found in a sparkle bright
emits an animosity straight.
I control my temper with not ease
feel bad as if I am teased
want to drive the cat out
he an illegal occupant all throughout .
The cold war lasted for a while
both of us indignant in style
I chastizing him for his intrusion
he mumbling against my intervention.
All things have to come to an end
in a way or another one has to bend
so did the cat with a bow
understood,
no one is a bitter foe.
Heard and Felt.
A cry heard
could be from a herd
never to be deferred.
An ache felt
could be from the belt
always to be dealt.
An illness might be
due to a fall as be
unmanageable indeed.
A Long Road.
It is a long road
winding and steep
away from the main
secluded and broad.
None prefers to go through
being far and away
the road being different
aloof and undulating in true.
The road less traversed
lies unused for long
a day comes to the play
when it tops up the cross.
The lonely road is full of buzz
vehicles go up and down
incessant in their plight
has become a famed one in a plus.
Being the path of life as seen
the one which lies low
suddenly rises up to prominence
that be the choice in a deem.
The remains of anything
the reminiscent of anything
the retrospection of anything
the regurgitation of anything
the resurgence of anything
the renovation of anything
the rehabilitation of anything
the rejuvenation of anything
could be a task not simple
modification not easy
a hard one being laborious
being done in a manner religious
a discipline in a purview
needs a skill and a mind
as broad as a canvas
willing to hold any views
an expression of boldness
great and tall in a call.
The Fusion
The fusion as it is
the combination of two
an amalgamation of much more
could be a bliss all the more.
The fusion of music
instrumental one
the flute, violin, and veena
a musical delight in real.
The flute in high octaves
the violin, a medium note
veena plays the base
the union extends a melody.
The fine tunes that arise
fuse together seamlessly
the notes blend beautifully
we hear a music divine.
Nothing is out of tempo
everything under control
being one of a great combination
commands a lovely deliverance.
The three-hour recital as such
held the audience spellbound
pin drop silence marked the event
followed by a standing ovation.
