Primary love
My primary love is 
to go well with you
My secondary love is
to grow well with others

Consolation
Don't lose heart
You have enough love to win
And many other hearts to be won
Divert the flow of your love
Make your life worth living for many
Than craving for one

Heart of hearts
I am looking
Not for the heart
Filled in flesh and blood
But for a heart
Filled with passion
Not for the heart
Caged in bones and veins
But for a heart
Loaded with compassion
Not for the heart
Busy ever on its beat
But for a heart
Showering love ever on me
I like you liking me
If you like me liking you
I reserve and preserve
My love for you
For our wedded embedded life

School of love
Born of coupled love
Brought up in mother’s love
Studded and embedded
Into the budding tot lot
Blossomed in teens
Grown intense in Intermediate
Graduated with admixed lust
With juvenile jubilance
Bonded in ties in twenties
Love n’ lust operate life
Singly or jointly
To free from dormant life
No caste, color or creed
Life is the school of love
Love is the scholar of life
A sacred tool to believe
And to live and let live

Borderline friendship
One on either side
Solo soldier on patrol
In trim n’ grim conundrum
At fenced tensed border
None else but free air at site
Nothing but sky in sight
Save barbarous barricade
Sun at times offensive
Soil barren run apprehensive
Sons of the soil slog
In salute to national cause absolute

Solitude stealing tranquility
Dull days along pulled hard
Lonely opponents on spot
Smiley proponents in slot
Sipped grace and gossiped
In instant friendship
To face border’s boredom
Bordering nations’ notions
Belied order of human relations
Oh! A foe in need is the friend in deed.

Essence
Super Dad had,
Has His fad
To be formless
To keep us in form
To be homeless
To stay with us
To be selfless
To keep us harmless
To be ceaseless
To besiege relentless
To be of no origin
To originate  
To be fathomless
To keep us afloat
To be unreachable
To reach us all at once
To be infinity
To carry us thru’ infinity
Essence of His absence
Is to sense His presence.

Baby’s Day In
Diurnal rays dawned on my sleepy face,
Dancing far behind the leafy lace,
Divine muse woke me up from slippery sleep,
As though warming up my holy holiday flip.

My kindling kid began to scout n’ skid,
Up and down my shoulders around avid,
Flocking my head ahead aloud allowed,
Like chirping smiting fluttering bird

My sporting spouse was all-out for her day out,
Alone was I at home to bear the mounting brunt,
Lo, my tot twined me up beyond my pensive thought,
Like a planted creeper with its gripping knot.  

I was sized up in the race of cat and mouse,
Roundabout and in and around the house,
Up and down the stairs, no way to grouse,  
Hide-and-seek hit my day, hopeless to browse.

So cute, the little angel so called, acclaimed,
Rolled out dear dolls for games, proclaimed,
Lined up, pooled up and piled up, exclaimed,
Chuckled, moved and kicked a few unclaimed

I put him cool in bath tub more for fun n’ play,
And mustered respite and employed the ploy,
Lashed n’ splashed he, in bubbling boundless joy,
Unbothered to care color n’ carpet all the way.

I muttered and lured him out by bread n’ butter,
That towed the tired tot soon from the pitcher,  
I felt dressed down before I dressed his upper,
Impending melee is a funny guess, to feed a toddler.

The budding kid began hullabaloo in a big way,
Bolted my day and jolted my way by his sway,  
Fumbled and tumbled down in anger, all n’ sundry,  
In quest of his mom away and tossed me in quandary.

Thick and thin
Blind is the eye
That does not look at the blind
Deaf is the ear
That does not listen to the deaf
Dumb is the mouth
That does not speak to the dumb
Lame is the leg
That does not step with the lame
Poor is the land
That does not care for the poor
Futile is the life
That does not support the needy

Crucible of love
Hold my pulse,
Oh my Sweetie,
Feel my heart homely,
Keep yours too firmly.

Let us toss our love,
one to one,
over the net,
under the net,
off the net,
or no net,
foul or fall, not to fail
to dwell, deal and delve
in bits of bouts.

gravitate mutually,
gyrate gradually,
private cordially,
permeate perennially.

Heavens may break,
Let not our hearts!
Our times may crack
Let not our minds!

Hunter's day out
Overt over a ***** gusty lake
Soaring high in clear day light sky
Gliding on its wild and wide wings
An eagle forlorn pried for its prey

Fish was its dish in depth to dash
Flawless claws splashed n' clasped
As it veered its virulent eye,
Plunged, pierced n’ plucked its prey

Over to the ground far afield, the stinger
Out for a grand grout of its hunger
Alas, en-route way-laid a high fly vulture ,
Pounced on platter of prey true to its culture
Swarmed n’ hunted the lonely hunter
Till the hapless winger left its hopeless prey

Hunger, the harbinger fluttered its wings
Pulling the strings of life in full swing
What it matters is all that matters
So mean is the means of might to fight

Tempest
Attacked!
Unattached!!
Unabated, unabashed!!!
The thirsty ocean
In hasty motion
Of nasty commotion
At a ghastly velocity
And unbridled ferocity
An uncalled Sandy,
The tempest so called
Of the titanic tide
With its swirling hydraulic eye
Literally stormed frantic Atlantic shores
And trampled lock stock n’ barrel
Swamped from castles to cattle
Uprooted deep rooted trees
Wreaked pell-mell hell on people
Leaving wrecks and rags
Do we call it lunatic fringe of nature?
Or divine design?
If so, punished whom for whose sin?
Theists or atheists may squabble.
All it needs is to heal

Dream girl
Simmering youth
On adultery flame
Of passionate dreams
Under the ******
Of thirsty hunger, hankering
To anchor the pranks
Of pubertal parking

Slipped into slumber sullen
At the trick of biometric-clock
The intrinsic instinct awake amidst,
Awoke his inner self off the shelf
In pursuit of pelf of passion
In a stress-free realm of dreams

Infatuation surfed n’ spun its web
Obsessive, his highness sought
Unfair affair with her fairness
In his dreamy creamy fare  
That planted a futile kiss
With a figurative hiss
On her fertile cheek n’ chin
Raw was war at love he saw
Alas, the best of his lovely lass
Perhaps never to figure out
From his naughty mesh
Of wish of vanishing dreams
That often franchise and fantasize

Portrait
His eyes were curious
As well as serious
His hands were deft
Not a speck of scene was left
He was meticulous
His vision was visible
As he picked up picturesque spot
And captured on his canvas
His trait was to portray
His foray was for hurray

A lake view flora on wood side it was  
A damsel dared to pose, expose,
Juxtaposed to the scenic splendor
Her style was stimulus
A queer artist quipped and equipped
Surveyed out and out
Figured out on screen of his mind
His brush rushed to wield
Color-mix in kit ready to yield
Latent talent of wit unveiled
Her blushing cheers
Meant blessing in disguise
Her swing n’ sway matched
With his stirring strokes
Tools and pools of skills unleashed
The way she looked was the sway he loved
He was the winner of her inners,
Nay, heart and soul!
The magnificent portrait turned out:
A great tribute to her beauty

Elusive Dreams
Irredeemable, yet alluring,
I dreamed day and night
Awake in day light,
Asleep in dark night

Awake I dreamed;
My thoughts took off on highway
Fast like aero plane on its run way
Alas, fascinated by lustrous exits
En-route here n’ there
I lost my way in transit
Many took over me in the race
I skipped my lane to others
By breaks and diversions
Destination being too far to seek
I ended up in destiny

Asleep at least once a day
Dreams appeared in streams
In my subconscious brain
Unwarranted and uninvited,
Hilarious some times
Horrible at times
Quixotic many times,
Causing momentary feel
Of pain or pleasure

Intangible and elusive
As they always be
Pray, not to fall a prey
To the drowsy lousy dreams

The Challenge
Of any color or creed,
Of status high or low,
Treacherous minds,
Heartless brain,
Venomous looks,
Ruthless tongue,
Heinous hands,
Rudderless feet,
Intense dubious desire,
Conspire, collude,
Often pay deaf ear
Snub wiser counsel of one’s mind
And skim out criminals
How to spurn viral thoughts;
A major challenge confronting humanity
Of a confounded nation
That needs vaccination.

Rehearsal
Throw your smiles, my dear,
Viewers take a crazy catch
Blush, it is all they wish
Cheer up, to cheer the peering eyes

Pep up your pleasing lips,
Veering eyes carry the sips
Laugh louder, you are allowed
Cry all out, they enjoy no doubt
Sob, nothing to feel sorry

Reflex your face, keep ready to face
Wink your eye, it sprinkles lust
Frown, you are the crown
Voice your tongue, it caters

Let the pearls in your cup of lips radiate
  fragrant flowers of joy and jubilation
May your breath resonate cool
  in the ears of the audience for years!

Sweeten your words, toast the taste
Sing, for an all-round swing
Synchronize your body language
With the symphony of the scene

You are the debonair in debut,
Heralding heroine of this film.
The quick buck of this movie,
Much depends on your quirk
Lens is ready to sense your synergy
Bless you my budding artist, go ahead!

Bay bash
Bay and beach
Wind and waves
Sun and sand
Tools of play
And pools of pleasure
To herald rock and roll
Held me on one fine funny day

Whipping gripping sun
Running rolling waves
Breezing sprucing spray
Cuddling cradling swing
Seesaw Sea, a scene to see  

An ebony boy for joy
Curled n’ squirreled
And scrubbed shiny sand
Made of wet velvet waves
Basked and bathed
Bathed and basked
And on and on and so on
Bath n’ bask filled his day

Cheerful crowd on a wild boating spree  
Expert loner on his confident bouts
With batting waves for surfing thrill
All and sundry kindred, rid of color or creed  
Joined n’ enjoyed nature’s extravaganza

Tots trotting helter-skelter
Splashing on slippery waves
Jubilant lads fad of hackney ride
Wayward youth awkward way forward
Trespassing bikini lasses passing by

Receding light inked in crimson red
Dipped glowing globe at the far end of sea
Paving way to the emerging coolant moon
To shower his delightful light for rest of night

P & C
Whisper ..... ( ?..."...." ; ; !)
Private and Confidential
Both on oath
To wrestle and sweat
on the plank of blinking light
in the pirated privacy
to a gasping breath
in the light of darkness
                till
one loses to the other
and win each other
simultaneously
Lest winning alone
is more shameful
than the game itself
Dim light more delight!
The end of the game!!

True Love
True love; not a CD player
That runs on power wheel
Power on, power off,
With multiple options:
To insert, play and eject,
To play, pause and play,
To backward or forward,
To stop or exit

True love;
That runs on will power
Has only option;
To live and let live
Power-on always

If only ignorance is pardonable

If only fighting ends fright
I go for instant war
If only war brings pure peace
I love to be lazy
If only lethargy enhances life
I like to be crazy
If only craze brings laurels  
I propose to steal
If only stealing is love of people
I venture to offend
If only offending is way to defend
I dare to be unethical
If only I stand to justice

Weekend Whisper
Sun-hit summer noon
On a sunlit Sunday
End of the day cooled
Thanks to full moon day
  
Moonlit night of sunlit moon
Coolant night at its height
Valentines volunteered to date
And seek dim light delight
  
Long drive drove,    
For a week-end whisper,
At a tranquil cove.
All green scenes
Canopy, canvas n carpet
The duo is due for love
  
Chirping parrot pairs,
Nibbled and anchored.
Nature flagged off green  
Moon-shine filtered thru leaves
  
The pair signed up, signed in
Browsed in melodious breeze
Aroused passions pure n sure
Lips sipped, slipped n clipped
  
The wetting vetted the deal
Her cheeks blushed in joy
Kiss keyed in love
Love locked life for life.
To the blush of wife- to- be
To be the bliss of life
