Lovers whisper-laughing,
stumbling home in the rain.
O, to be so drunk again.

What does quality time together mean
When everybody's glued to their smartphones
Mom and dad buy new gadgets
and forget each other... again.

Meals are left cold on the dining table
Nobody pays attention
to homecooked meals anymore
Food is rather thrown in the bin
or reheat again and again...
What is the value of mom's kitchen
when Domino's Pizza can be ordered via online?

The magicof smartphones...
Homes aren't cozy place for us anymore
Everybody enjoys secrecy... privacy...
Living far  apart
but breathing under the same roof....

Dear daughter comes home in tears
Dinner date a sheer disaster, she said...
He checks his Whatsapp notifications
every now and then...and smiling
reading his messages..,
A total shame...

Technology is meant for convinience sake
Same time rapidly ruins our everyday life
What has happenened to real conversations?
Hiding behind the sophisticated gadgets
What good is that?
Get rid of of your latest Samsung
and show your true face...

Today
I decided to be a poet
instead of being a teacher
What a teacher preaches
Would soon be forgotten
The kids simply plug their ears
pretending to enjoy lectures in class
instead they secretly enjoy " Imagine Dragon"
Tapping fingers on their tables

Today I did  a drastic change
Gave ten poems of mine to read
Creatively
the poems became the lyric of songs
Students sang them in class
Remembering the vocabs
and grammar...
the fun way.. they say
enrichment activities are completed
Successfully done
without a whine!!!

How fulfilling the lesson is
If poems are read and appreciated
and poems are used as meaningful
tools to enlighten others.........

I hope that you're happy
You know who you are

You've driven our fair angel
Away from our hearts

She's leaving us all
Because of a few

I tried to persuade her
I don't know what to do

A heart that is pure
Is easily hurt

Her heart was ripped out
And thrown in the dirt

I think I can say for everyone here
All of us shall miss you
You're beautiful my dear!

I am sure that
The number of stars in the sky
Doesn't come close to the number
Of times you've crossed my mind

You're the best part of my life
My one unending constant
All the darkness in my mind
Is put at ease by your light

I can practically taste your lips
Pressed against mine
I can feel my hands on your hips
And your breath upon my neckline

But it's the little things you miss
A smile, a text, a tender kiss
Only you can make me feel like this
My mind subsides and I unclench my fist
To hold your hand in mine and know that this
Is the happiest I've ever been

It's all because of you,
All because of eyes so blue
They bring out the truth
And the romantic
In me
