There stands a house
lonely on the road
with a sprawling garden
and a lively orcha
rd
all set in a greenery
exhibiting a tone od prosperity
with a swing in the front
and a slide in the back
where children throng
going in a move full of joy
climbing up and down
enjoying a great thrill
the house looks majestic
with an authoritative command
along with the choicest demand
a magnificence all very lovely
presenting an amazing look
that be the house I cherish
I like to have and live
as it delivers peace and harmony
altogether in a stroke
that be a wish long in my mind
hoping to get it fulfilled in time

With The Stars
It is night already
going pitch dark all over
gazing at the skies
I wonder with a thought
the stars flicker with light
laughing with a grin
making the dark wonderful
there be little sparkles
that go with the twinkle
yellow light spreading all over
illuminating the dreary
what a contrast they offer
I sit in wonder
wonder be the word
tha comes again and again
for I find no wonders
that would fit appropriately
that illustrate the dark night
with a sparkling light
Well, with another wonder
I propose to ask you
my little stars yonder
how long had you been there
not getting worn out
never getting tired
not at all in an exertion
well, that makes me ponder
comparing myself with you
getting all the more exhausted
becoming an old woman
having lived well over five decades
wishing to submerge with you
would you take me there?
exalted in a sublime status
exhibiting brilliance and shine
Could I be as ebullient as you over there ?
Oh! stars let me know
so that I could pack my bags
and rise up to you.
Ugh! the word wonder strikes again
Will I ? would I?
Unknown Device.
The wish of few gets fulfilled
while the wish of many get dished.
The few are supposed to be lucky
with things getting accomplished
The rest are considered unfortunate
as they could not go by their intention.
This is how the world views
and this is how the men think.
Beyond this superficial appeals
there are many great devices behind
that act and react with a purpose
giving out a responsible answer
and emphatically calling out
the reasons for such projections.
The House That Would Be

A spacious house it would be
if designed with an eye on an alibi
of halls opening into corridors
of long passages with massive doors
in turn letting to a vivid grass
where long stretch of rose beds cross
rooms with windows on opposite sides
promoting ventilation without any slide
holding furnitures of teak and rosewood
decked with inlays of mother of pearl in a brood
While the doors execute a chaste reference
the windows induct a brisk inference.
as the walls stand out with murals
of value and tradition describing the medieval
fittings of light exude a warmth and rectitude
adding up the grace and glory with a beautiful. attitude.
Sitting by the river.
Saw a gold-fish.
It bade me near
and expressed a wish
Startled to hear a goldfish speak.
I got down into the river.
The fish came up in a wink
and asked me to come closer.
Enamoured by its charm
I got closer and closer.
It took me by my arm
and looked at me like a lover.
Lovingly I held the fish
in my palm
Stuttering it spoke about its wish.
in a voice calm.
The speech was so low
I missed it mostly.
The fish jumped into the flow
disappearing completely.
What did it say? I think .
Would it have said anything worthy?
Unable to decipher, I blink.
Well, that is the end of the story.
It was a wait, very long wait.
It was an expectation, much expected.
It was a desire, most wished.
It was a thought, serious thought.
It was a solution, well solved.
It was a decision, carefully decided.
It was an inclusion, stealthily included.
It was a belief, strongly believed.
Well it was everything that comprised all things.
Long Live.
Long live the nation!
Longevity is a jubilation.
Live long is everyone’s wish.
Live long is everyone’s dream.
Live long for what I wonder?
Live long to fight with one another.
Live long to spend as much as possible
Live long to seek help to go about .
Live long to depend on others.
Live long to experience solitude.
Live long to wriggle in pain.
Live long to gaze at the sky.
Live long to count the stars.
Live long to talk to self.
If so long live Man!
Longevity is a jubilation.
Ain’t it?
The evening was sultry and hot.
There was no breeze to cool out.
It was unpleasant all through.
While sitting heaving and puffing in the patio
Got calls from friends in a row.
Each one expressing a strain sad
Emphasizing the unkindness meted out.
The senior one wished to die
holding strongly destiny in her hands.
The other one cursed his siblings to a tragic death.
adorning himself in a prophetical garb.
The last one was in bad health.
Depression had taken its toll.
He had shed his snobbish pride,
Lo!looked demure and desolate,
The poor weakling wished nothing, cursed none,
He only longed for peace to return.
These added up to the heat around.
Making one to think and think aloud.
Finally found out that
Happiness is within ourselves
Not anywhere else.
Courtesy is a rarity nowadays.
It is non-existent nowadays.
Children walk away nowadays.
Teachers cross them nowadays.
There is no greet or wish nowadays.
The boss alights nowadays.
The staff go past him nowadays .
There is no salutation nowadays.
The seniors go unnoticed nowadays.
The juniors never look up at them nowadays.
There is no admission nowadays.
Conventions are held nowadays.
They are fully packed nowadays.
But there is no recognition nowadays.
Familiarity is a bane nowadays.
It evolves contempt nowadays.
Strangers lose their way nowadays.
They are shunned by most nowadays.
Entertainment has become gaudy nowadays
It is no longer a pleasure nowadays.
It has become a provocation nowadays.
Clients are not important nowadays.
But their money is essential nowadays.
Professionals lack etiquette nowadays.
Ethics are not found nowadays.
Greed prevails over all nowadays.
Derision takes the forefront nowadays.
Another Year Dawns
It is going to be another year,
The stroke of midnight is heard clear,
Away goes 2011 in the rear,
In comes in 2012 with cheer,
Pushing back the recession of last year,
Setting aside the bygone days fear,
The year that passes off was loaded with tears,
An outcome which threw all out of gear,
An economic show down that ran out near,
Upheavals that dethroned dictators clear,
Wars shattered the world to a sneer,
Storms ,quakes , floods battered severe,
Man stands aghast in turmoil mere,
Another year dawns in the sphere,
Making him to eye an empowerment in the veer,
Let he be blessed with all prosperity this year,
This is the hope for all every year,
Many cross links intrude making things drear,
Yet life goes on in eager anticipation unclear,
This is the story year after year.
What else do you wish to hear?
Wishing all “A very happy new year”!
