I had a long conversation
on the telephone
it was very long
but not at all tiring
we kept periods
one listened to the other
never got in between
it was interesting
I spoke with my maturity
nothing very high and wise
but a reflection of experience
the other end talked in his style
very sweet and inimical
raised his voice as though in an exclamation
spoke low as if in confidence
the whole hour went on 
I well into my late fifties
and he very much a year and a half
great was the time
lovely it was still more.

Discerning A Man
It is cynical
letting all to rot
not paying attention
not acting fast.
It seems whimsical too
that of great labour
mostly unwanted
sourcing the legal.
The legality is there
to find solution
how far could it be?
how quick would it do?
The time elapses
the interest wanes
the solution is
not found
issues go out of hand.
The man keeps talking
saying he would retrieve
what is he going to?
no one knows.
The House Turns a Home.
A house is a house
with bricks and mortar
becomes a home
with fun and frolic.
The structure of stones
starts to breathe life
when the family moves in
it begins to echo the bustle.
The doors open out
and close as eyelids
a let out for the good
a shut out for the bad.
The windows go with the elements
they take in the breeze
and send out the heat
a friendly application they are.
The halls reverberate
with the chimes of happiness
they too record
the tears of sadness.
The private chambers needless to say
silently bear testimony
to the intimacy
and the squabbles.
The kitchen burns and heaves
pots of porridge and rice
get cooked all day
never it rests.
The family grows
as does the house
the one becomes big
the other turns ancient .
Memories rush and crowd
the human mind
the activities gorge in
flood the house.
The house as I feel
is an alternate to man
he lives and dies
while it lingers for years.
Eat The Way
A Meaningful Lifestyle
The way you live.
the way you think.
are in proportion.
The attitude goes a long way
The attitude tries to fix in a way
is an adjustment in the stride.
The perception too is important
The perception owes not a distraction
being an impression of the reality
The perception and the attitude
might sound one and the same
differ much in real version.
The attitude is an orientation of the mind
The perception is an interpretation of the senses
an abstract over the physical.
The nuance of life depends on these
one over the other all the same
a meaningful lifestyle on the go.
Death so Near.
A priest of the temple
started the day early
special prayers in the shrine
as the devotees came in a steady stream
became busy with the activities
remained so till noon
He opened in the evening the doors
got into the routine
while he was chanting the slokas
felt uneasy and swooned
breathed his last
with flowers in his hand
Election Speech.
A fiery speech
an election speech
accusing the other party
that opposes them
not in one strand
nor in one measure
heaps of allegations at them
not thinking of their validity
a continuous speech without a break
an
harangue that calls for attention
as to choose the right candidate
never to go by the oration.
Man a Vegetable.
He is a vegetable now
He became so
after got overthrown
hit right on the spot
he sunk into a coma .
Three months have gone
still he remains so
his wife and children
shocked to see him initially
now think of him as a burden.
Hospital bills are huge
there is no improvement what soever
he lies without any move
like a dead mean
breathing alone
a sign of life
.

A Curse and After
A curse is in the family
for four generations they say
that of a woman from a distant land
who died a few hundred years ago
know not it is natural,murder
or a suicide anything is possible.
A man who is well versed in craft
and who is a sooth sayer too
does pujas in the place where the woman died
tells them if they retain the land
the family would suffer misery
so the land has to be alienated.
it is a surprise to all
has no mishap has befallen the family
except deaths due to old age
others being simply natural
why this decision to sell
has gained importance?
The need of money is the reason
for that they attribute reasons
that of beyond imagination
a support to their cause
a clever ploy to get the money
have they resorted to such evil ways.
