My first flight was a fancy funny dream cream delight,
Of crafty wings swinging in thriftyjwinds of daylight,
Propelled by pilots cocooned in the cozy cockpit,
For a grand take off, of the roaring and rising craft.

I was spotted and seated by a dainty bounty beauty,
Beckoning me to buckle up for reckoning safety,
With slippery smiles from her clipping rosy lips,
After brisk demo for self -help on risk rescue tips.

Skiing wings nosed up plush and puffy heights,
And up and up I went and gazed through vent,
As basking clouds shone in tender light and heat,
Flight floated on velvet carpet glowing silver white.

The sailing swan in sky moved in majestic style,
Eased and caused nagging nap of lull and pull,
Her long and lavish belly hosting high fly guests,
Rays and rain gifted a colorful bow to the far west.

The queen in quest lensed on landing scene of the city,
Focused on the crown of castles of unseen beauty,
Trespassed vibrant greenery and scenery, hills and hillocks,
Rivers and rivulets, flora and fauna in all mix and make,

The mettle of men and machine did its marvel in travel,
As the veiled wheels unveiled and wielded to safe land,
The metal bird grounded on a grand ground around,
And rejoiced rousing reception of the curious crowd.

Pelf may come  
Pelf may go
By itself
Like water in coconut
But self will stay

Your tongue is sweeter 
than my voice
My voice is softer 
than your tongue
Your strength
is my weakness
My strength 
is your weakness
Are you sure
we lead a balanced life?

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

I was astound astronaut
Haphazard
Buckled up in cockpit
Of rocket ready for blast
It was zeroed down
Moments were intense
I was tense
My heart lost its art
No way…..
It was zero and blast
I was taken aback, soon
It took off to alarming heights
Jolted my heart and soul
Soon dauntless vehicle
Zoomed into sky above
The bow of blue blown above
I was flabbergasted
I was in the midst of stars
On and all around
I heaved a sigh, well neigh,
My ship was nearing
An alien planet to align
I was speeding up
Swerving my way in hilly tracks
On mysterious land and only land
Of curves, curls, colors n’ collars
I was running short of breath
The rocking rocket made its retreat
At its predestined time  
And put me back into my soul
No sooner I woke up from spell
Realized, I was not in suit
But in sweat
At Epcot in Disney Land!

Your pleasure is my pleasure
Your pain is my pain
I am okay

My pleasure is your pleasure
My pain is your pain
You are okay

Your pleasure is my pain
Your pain is my pleasure
I am not okay

My pleasure is your pain
My pain is your pleasure
You are not okay

Why can't all of us be okay?

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!!

Balance of life depends much
on the balance of love

When tough times do stand
the tough ones do withstand

In God I trust
Because trust is divine
You and I are trustees
Entrusted with this world

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.

I, the Capital
My Capital
Coveted n’ captivating
Swimming thru’
Simmering veins
I, the ego in me
Inherited long ago
Governs as I go
Elevates my pride n’ pleasure
And caps my prudence often
My eye on ‘I’
Tries to hold good
What I mean or measure
All I need is
To keep it in check
Like I do, to optimise
My sugar in sweet;
Otherwise fatal

Surveyed
Mapped
Sketched
Painted
Framed 
And Fixed 
In the inner wall
Of my heart
Adoring your beauty
By every beat of my breath.
Not knowing the easy way
To reach you safely and 
keep swimming in the stream 
of your ever lasting love
Let me graduate and navigate 
the sea of life together.

Trapped in traffic in the city of density,
Warmed up and wormed forth my way,
Thru’ wild and wayward wheelers.
Whose motion commissioned in commotion.

Each movement a moment of maze,
With lurking fear looming large,
As tri-colour signals flagged ever green,
To a crisscross invader at a jittery junction.

Rules rolled are trampled on unruly roads,
Capped up cops snapped and coped up in vain,
Tutored wheelers swerved and swarmed,
Rules defined, flouters fined but never refined.

Will and wit overtook wisdom to breach and reach,
As taunting time forced a daunting spree,
My feet on ABC pads in a cosy car chair,
Danced up and down hand in hand,
With a wavering steering wheel at hand,
And tow my way in brushing bruising wand.

All and sundry on a shaky rock and roll,
Risk from dawn to dusk on explosive toll,
Rains draining up on potholes end up in pitfalls,
No solution or salvation in sight for safety,
Oh city users, muscle up your mind,
For a tough tussle of travel ahead around.

High tides on a hideout
Scuffling high and low  
Sought shelter off sea
At a downward cradle resort
In high land island assort
Cuddled in grip n grasp
To enjoy the balm and calm

Back waters beckoned me
To the wedlock o’ bed lock
Of islands’ land n liquid
I peddled my winding way
The beat about the boat afloat
Swayed away fair and far
The wiling willing precincts
Untidy tide untied my ties

Sea saw swing sang a song
Amidst tunes of windy wand
As though to unwind my mind
***** of breeze doused me to brim
Frills and spills lulled into thrill
Oh! What a symphony of scenery
The treat lasted from dawn to dusk
Waves waved off my retreat not to risk

Giga bytes bite the brain
Mega bytes hit the pen
Kilo bytes fit the screen
Ending  up in thumbs up or down

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.

He was on toes in his twenties
She was in tunes in her teens
He was alone, she was along
He was curious, she was cordial
She was catering to his senses:
With her ply, play and ploy
Her electrifying looks
Greeted his soul to seek
Tricked and kicked his heart
Her smiles rolled on his lips
Her face fashioned fair n’ familiar
Beauty was her boon, his moon
An intangible asset to cassette
It was one to one homely affair
Win-win scene in solitude
Her free style was explicit -
Board of her body language
Her chromatic costumes,
And cosmetic feel of touch
Enshrined in the tablet of his memory
She sang, danced n’ pounced in passion
Coupled up his thoughts  
For a couple of hours
Her smart artistic calibre,
Teeming teenage tickle,
Shook up and hooked up
His conduct and character
He could see her face to face
In her filmy on-screen display
Of moving movie telecast
He was her fan in disguise
She was his fiancée in guise
And an articulate artist
Lo! Love is the mother of life

Deep in the crevice of cozy cosmos,
Swirling around the big ***** enmasse,
A glowing globe of fire amidst aloft,
An earthly sphere spinning time its best.

The starry crowd watching and winking,
The crazy clouds clashing and flashing,
Moonlit fare is lovely, cool and strong,
Oh, the cosmic game is splendid far and long.

Tell-tale telecast frequents ultra-high,
Beaming across the ethereal sky,
The sportive spirit sponsored it all unknown,
Here we clamour to bring out well known.

The ever-invincible powers that be,
All out in space know not where to be.

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

Often people prefer safe alibis to lie
Than dangerous reasons to be true

Hear me, my dear....
Let me pop up my plans
on this blue moon day delight

Your glittering eyes
Fluttered my shuttered heart
Your cherry cheers
shored up my sunken soul

Your melodious voice
Mellowed my bullish ego
Your bouncing beauty
spurred up my dormant passions

Your heart is my home divine
So sure I am for you
Your matchless features
Make me your perfect catch

May I warm up with your charm
And lead a princely life
of my princess choice?
For the blush of wife to be
Be the bliss of life that be

He is the romantic poet
She is his daily diet

Flying without wings
Cruising without cruise
Running without legs
Working without hands
Viewing without eyes
Hearing without ears
Yelling without voice
Tasting without tongue
Soul on stroll in stealth
Skipping from asylum
In pursuit of pleasure
Mid-way in slumber
Away from routine
On its delight subtle shuttle
Weaving reams of dreams
That seldom creamed out true
Written off at dawn of the day

Sprouted by vibrant sperms,
Sprang up in violent genes,
Life is a fount full of germs.

Truth is bitter and no better
He choses to keep life easy and rosy
Loves and leads a lazy legend
Hurts and hurls others to thrive
Feels safe and strong in flesh and blood
Enjoys the wealth of health in youth  

Strong and selfish sign out morals
Week and meek lack morale
Mind is more money maniac
Sweeps off soul as silly sole
Skin is thick with sundry sins

As worms scooped out warmth of life,
Age squeezed flesh and blood from body
No scouts and screams for succour in sight
Save pale praying lips from kith and kin
Alas! Vexed soul vanished from forbidden body
In futile search of budding spirit to boom again.
Oh God! From tainted tomb to wanted womb.

Mind cultivates the psyche
Heart irrigates the body
Love navigates the life
Together they make
Whole-life policy

Long long, ere long ago
Adam was adolescent
Eve was effervescent
Both were glad in bare body clad    
  
Adam and Eve exposed each
The duo explored to match
Adam was adulating to catch
Eve was electrifying to ******
  
Pancreatic hunger in one way
Pubertal love on way any way
Cupid apple drooped in sway
He grappled apple-gel of angel

Couple cuddled and meddled
Kindled, spindled and fondled
Fire of passion ceded seeds of love
Shy free, sky free, spy free, scot free
Capsule of calories captured
Rupture turned into rapture

Head to head dual bite at sight
Headed to fuel the duel of luring love    
Adam was adamant on that eve
Eve spelled eventful gospel of life
Only lonely lovely pair espoused  
Exploded mirth of birth on earth

A little ***** hurts the heart
A little lie belittle relationship
A little misunderstanding breaks friendship
A little hole sinks a large ship
A little wound takes the life out
Little are lethal too.

Like autumn leaves
Like spring showers,flowers
Like rain drops
Like snow flakes
Like sun & moon rays
Like God's grace
thoughts in words 
fall, flow, flourish
from the mind
through the heart & soul
of many seasoned poets
like the ones
reeling relentlessly
in these columns

Once a day is okay
One a day is decay

With you I am overdone
Without you I am undone

Write a poem
Feel sleepless
Read a poem
Feel sleepy

Ironic poems
In an ironic journey
Of magnetic poets,
And magnetised pals,
In a magnetic field of
Priceless poetic portal
Of multitude of high altitude
Daily display of dazzling delight
Never had I failed to miss a day
Even if I skipped my meal

Back home on a tired evening
Wading thru’ weary sea of traffic
Pervading miles of city in panic
I for one was stranded
At many a signal cross
  
As I gazed out leaning glass up my wheel
Sky was growing grey and gloomy
As if worried of descending glow of light
Clouds playing clown overhead in gay delight
Unencumbered birds on a free flying stroll
Rid of roads and blocks and unruly rules
Avenue leaves grew dark green in fading light
Friendly wind patting hope of  post-nap light
  
Awake! A restless horn blew behind
As signal light switched to green
And cleared my nagging way
Bikers left and right darted their way
I was jittery fluttery but none to care  
  
Blurring head light forward glow
Scaring red light backward blow
Jolted me to gear up and down
Steer and peddle my pads in puzzle
To save and grab my homeward track
Oh! I wish I had wings than wheels

For the rest of life,
Keep me under your arrest

Both outspoken
He speaks all about
She spells about all

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!

Words are the birds,
The bard flock and fly.
Dynamics of flight 
depends on
His mood n' momentum
Like weather & feather

Without prayers,
You gave us heat and light
Without prayers,
You gave us air and water
Without prayers,
You gave us flora and fauna
Without prayers,
You gave us life and love
Our only prayer now is,
Never to withdraw them
But bestow more wisdom
to conserve and preserve

The world is sandwiched more by
The topic of Cancer, 
than The Tropic of Cancer.

Divide your heart
Multiply my love
Add my life
Deduct your strife

Minuscule millions
Shot from little cannon
Passionate, Jostle,
One and only one,
The king in thirst
Champions the cause
And strikes the target

The queen in quest
Hosts, nestles primitive cell
That splits infinitely
To finite and figure out

Cells celebrate, proliferate,
Churn, collate, calibrate,
Format, animate anatomy
In fixed flexible capsule,
As nine full moons pass by

Consul flushed out of flesh
Soul lit the light  
At its zero exit
To the shrill cry of entity
The glow begins to grow.

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

Zealous before, jealous after
Curious before, spurious after
Friendly before, foully after
Exciting before, exhausted after
Love before, leave after
Promise before, miss it after
Borrow before, sorrow after
Spring before, summer after
  
Be good as ever before
Be bad never after
Be kind as ever before
Be unkind never after
Be honest as ever before
Be dishonest never after

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
And put life back on its wheels

Minuscule millions
Shot from little cannon
Passionate, Jostle,
One and only one,
The king in thirst
Champions the cause
And strikes the target

The queen in quest
Hosts, nestles primitive cell

Cells celebrate, proliferate,
