I cry; they don’t.

When I die, with me will die impressions

Made by my parents with their love and care,

Skills and sacrifice and pain and sufferings;

Their values no one else knows better.

Their history no one else knows better.

Events connected with them will die.

Values accrued from them will die.

They don’t witness and don’t cry.

15.09.2014

Sinners know it.

The jail is not as bad as you presume.

The hell is not as bad as you imagine.

Once accustomed, people don’t feel so.

The thieves and the sinners know about it.

15.10.2014

An old atheist

Seeing the landmark, I threw the road-map.

Reaching the shore, I abandoned the oar.

No more to travel, whose help do I want?

No wonder an old man went an atheist.

15.10.2014

Prayer is a hope.

Every fall is witnessed by God.

Every death is witnessed by God.

Prayers to Him to save are of no use

Except that it serves as a kind of hope.

15.10.2014

Women tempt two ways.

Some women look like a doll to play.

Some women look like a lap to reach.

A man has thirst for both types of them.

A woman wants to play both roles for them.

It is up to men to admit her claim.

When it fails, his thirst remains not quenched.

14.10.2014

One’s death in others’ deaths

In a death of one known to you,

Your death is linked to that extent,

As you cease to live any more

In his memory post his death.

To live in others’ memory

Is counted as the branches of life.

When the known die one by one

To that extent your branches die.

13.10.2014

Job satisfaction

Job satisfaction is to be found

Not in the comfort one gets from the work

But in the comfort one generates in it,

Which will take care of one’s own comfort.

13.10.2014

The curiosity born is it.

Add caption

Any woman is o k for a night.

No woman is o k for one’s life.

Sexual drive is curiosity born,

Which we sacrifice from marital bonds.

13.10.2014

Fame and shame would die soon.

Shame or fame won’t stand

Beyond two generations up

And two generations down,

Beyond which period

The people known won’t live

To praise or curse you.

With them will be buried

All secrets good or bad.

10.10.2014

Can castes in India go?

A caste is a breed kept for purity

In heredity and identity,

For solidarity and security

To act as a unit in the society.

One can convert to another religion

But cannot convert to another caste.

Cross breeding is its annihilator,

Who is not welcome to the upper caste.

09.10.2014

Dissect your tendencies.

To guard reputation, one does no wrong.

To build reputation, one does no wrong.

Fearing punishment or retaliation,

Or from shame, one might avoid doing wrongs.

Be causes any; outcome is welcome.

Driven to the wall, one would do some wrongs.

Under coercion, one would do great wrongs.

Hoping for an escape, caught in impulsion,

Or out of revenge, one might do some wrongs.

Be causes any, outcome is irksome.

What about the people doing much wrong

As a sport or an adventure through out

Or the ones who do wrongs with preparedness

To undergo the punishment of any range?

They’re diseased, need treatment, not punishment.

A wrong committed, introspect why so.

Reform yourself or else you may decay,

Causing agony to those around you.

Be it a lesson to all, all the time,

As none is ones who haven’t done any wrong.

09.10.2014

Prejudices will stay.

Languages divide; religions divide;

Nations divide; cultures divide.

Within languages, dialects will divide.

Within religions, sects will divide.

Within nations, regions will divide.

You can abolish them or make as one.

Yet race and the climate will divide the people.

01.10.2014

An actress and dancer for beauty

At twenty, she lured him with her image.

At forty, she lured him with her image.

At twenty, he was lured by her image.

In seventies, he is lured by her image.

It is the case even after her demise.

It is the case she being ten years elder.

Is her attraction Himalayan high

Or his passion Pacific deep? Who knows?

She had been the Tamil Film heroine

And acted as a damsel at her forty.

He owes her much that she was not to own.

With his generation, her lure will die.

30.09.2014

Visalakshi V

It was her maiden love and his was too.

They conceived it and lost it in their teens.

She had buried her love from her husband

And ignored her lover since marriage.

As a widow, she still keeps him at bay

As she wants to bury it from children.

He stands barred and wilts over five decades.

Split love like glass, is not pieced together.

30.09.2014

A bogus goal

Most religions profess eternity

As the goal of life to their followers.

Eternity means being in Heaven.

Being in Heaven means no rebirth since.

This birth is a curse as every birth is.

With no rebirth, one suffers no more.

Then why not to terminate this birth?

Is suicide not the best option to do?

Is a rebirth a guaranteed process?

Is there anyone who wants to end his birth?

The highest hope till end if one has got

It’s nothing but survival at any cost.

30.09.2014

Genes and chance

Heredity and Environment act

Together to grow an individual.

Environment moulds Heredity.

Both take their shares in it but not evenly.

29.09.2014

The component of value

The old is gold for it’s not for long heard.

The classic is so for it is out of reach.

Great men live within pupa to be great.

Familiarity is absent in these.

29.09.2014

A grain will do.

Even a spark can disturb the darkness.

Even a kiss can disturb the silence.

Even the breeze can disturb the water.

A grain is enough to cause you worry.(in the eye)

29.09.2014

Women are exempted.

Love I don’t get back pricks me.

Love I don’t give back too does.

The latter torments me more.

All delicate men do so.

28.09.2014

AUM is Atman.

The word AUM is of three syllabi.

A is pronounced from the lungs.

U s pronounced through the throat.

M is pronounced through the nose.

Aum is the primordial sound of Silence.

Aum is the sonic sound of the Universe.

Aum is the mantra of the Vedic text.

Aum represents three stages of life.

A corresponds to the waking stage.

U corresponds to the dreaming sage.

M corresponds to the sleeping stage.

The sound of the Aum ends in the fourth stage.

The mind acts outdoor in the waking stage.

The mind acts indoor in the dreaming stage.

The mind would rest in the sleeping stage.

The mind is absent in the fourth stage.

Sleeping stage itself is the bliss all get

As there the mind gives no agitation.

The fourth stage is the amalgamation

Of Atman and Brahman with in tranquility.

[ Mandukya Upanishad is based on ]

20.09.2014

Conventions matter.

How, if Rama on stage comes in suits?

How, if the Hindu bride comes in jeans?

How, if Mary on stage comes in saris?

Convention adds spirit to perception.

25.09.2014

Don’t plead.

The one you cannot affect

Is the one you cannot disturb,

Not influence, nor provoke.

Supreme is that one; don’t plead.

27.09.2014

The end is zero.

Don’t rue that you can’t know what would happen

Once you are no more. You can’t know even

What had happened while you were alive.

You are as good as you are never born.

24.09.2014

No love with no alternative

I eat that my wife cooks.

There is no alternative.

I sleep with my wife at bed.

There is no alternative.

Doing is not from love

When there’s no alternative.

23.09.2014

Identity is a trap.

Identity gives a meaning to life,

A sense of belonging in a society,

And helps one define oneself in oneself.

To lean this way is to go away from that.

Identity is a stake you cling to.

Identity is a mould you fix to.

Anything we think we are, becomes a trap,

A restriction to be something else.

You join a movement to share its force.

In the meanwhile, you lend it your force.

Subsequently you lose your independence

In judging and mortgage yourself to it.

Be in a setup not to be fanatic.

Being neither distantly isolated

Nor absolutely  identified

With anything is freedom to enjoy.

20.09.2014

To earn wisdom

Reflections throw on you light.

Limitations throw on you light.

Experiences throw on you light.

To learn out of them rests with you.

20.09.2014

Attraction plays its part.

Law of attraction says you get

What you have in thought, and work on it.

Different seeds take different times

To go to the maturity.

Impatience will miss the harvest.

Desire a person; time matters.

Desire a goal; time matters.

Patient pursuits ensure success.

20.09.2014

Find joy in others’ fortune.

Compassion is easy to get

When someone suffering is seen.

Envy or jealousy withdraws.

Finding joy in someone’s fortune

Is a tough task to perform.

Envy or jealousy intrudes.

To find joy in someone’s fortune,

If one learns, his mind will find rest.

20.09.2014

Show of simplicity

To live simple and have huge wealth

Is not simplicity at all.

To live simple from poverty

Is not simplicity either.

To live simple with income cut

Will be simplicity, of course.

Simplicity of the affluence

Is nothing but mere a show.

20.09.2014

To overcome perversion

Which man has not fantasized

About raping a woman in thought?

Which woman has not fantasized

About being raped by a man in thought?

Fantasizing is God send gift

That overcomes one’s sex perversion.

20.09.2014

Life and body separable

Neutrons and magnetic movements

Are integrated in existence.

Body is matter; mind [life] is energy.

Both are integrated in existence.

Separation of magnetic force

From Neutrons is made possible.

It means separation of matter

And its attributes is possible.

Consciousness is life’s attributes;

All livings things display it.

At death body and soul separate.

The body dissolves with the matter

And the soul with the energy.

Life extends but its branches die.

20.09.2014

Illusion perpetuates.

Illusory appearance

Of mirage dissipated,

Illusory appearance is gone

But stays the very mirage.

Illusory powerfulness

Of deities dissipated,

Illusory powerfulness is gone

But stay the very deities.

19.09.2014

Be happy in others’ fortune.

To find happiness in others’ fortune

Is the best and the hardest quality,

Which we must learn to be free of jealousy.

See the efforts and not the effects in them.

16.09.2014

The win of woman’s love

To win a woman’s love

Is richer than winning a war.

Love is waged against

Weaker sex with strong mind

With the effect that

She is in total surrender.

15.09.2014

Poets! Think!

I haven’t sent any poem

To any competition.

My readers are worthier

Than the half cooked juries.

15.09.2014

Time and Space govern.

Polygamy, once a practice,

Has been outlawed since.

Widow marriage once a taboo,

Has been practiced since.

Only Time and Space determine

The good and bad acts.

15.09.2014 

Love inspired meetings inspire

It is only natural and so to him

That on the following day the same place

And the same hour he should look for her

Again and wait till she came there again.

She came; he was not disappointed.

At the sight of him, who she saw that day,

Her manner was that of the person

Who half expected to discover him there.

Subsequent meetings in the concert hall

Ensured that they came there for each other

And their attendance gave them some purpose

Which gave them sweet more than the music did.

14.09.2014

Fear of God?

I dread the police;

I dread the ruler.

I dread the umpire.

So do I the God?

14.09.2014

The price of civilization

A husband’s love for his wife survives not

Except in the form of companionship,

When bound by a family, after sometime.

This is the price we owe to civilization.

14.09.2014

Looks matter in affection.

She was expecting her husband

After a long spell from abroad.

He comes after a surgery

On the face after fire injury.

It came to her notice somehow

That he was trembled all along

As if he feared the impression

He was going to produce ,

Which might be as much as or more

Than, the panic she was contemplating.

Seeing his face she stood motionless.

With a loud cry she left the room.

A horrified effect came on her.

All her passion for him was shattered

More by the panic that caught her.

He experimented, failed and left.

13.09.2014

Men are sexually cruel.

Out of poverty, in spite of beauty,

She married a Lord, two decades elder,

And went a widow when she was forty.

Her looks, groomed in wealth, stood pretty.

Not at par with him, she was not at ease.

Her son too like him, as an unfit mother

She felt for herself in the family.

Her husband exit gave hope for her exit.

There were many claimants for remarriage.

She chose the one humble in her village

And fell in love to find anew her love

So that soon she would get rid of her home.

It was not to be in the form of her son,

Who by then was a lad on rank and file.

Mother’s re marriage was a disgrace to him.

She withered and died in his custody.

12.09.2014

That bench is my dear.

For the last one week I’ve reclined on this,

A teak wood bench brought to the new house built.

I made it with a two feet wide piece of teak

About fifty years back for parents’ use.

I develop some attachment towards this

As it’s going to bear my body for last bath.

It will be handy and more suitable

For my son to use for that occasion.

12.09.2014

The area of no envy

Man envies not woman her beauty;

Woman envies not man his ability.

Rather, both appreciate each other

For their qualities without jealousy.

13.09.2014

The thirst is a thorn.

He’d been a better match to her

In every respect, no doubt,

Except that an intellectual

She’d been with interest in poetry.

Herself a poetess, recognized,

She developed a passion

For a fellow poet, not single,

And passion grew to obsession.

She shed her qualm and her shame

When her passion for him was let loose.

She lost her soul found in her spouse,

And lived unattached for ever.

The thirst of a vital area

Unquenched by the matrimony

Will remain as a thorn in flesh

In the harmony of the couple.

12.09.2014

Acquaintance across the gender

As a bachelor of twenty,

I found my way to a village,

Where I fell for a pretty lass.

I made her father’s acquaintance

In order to get hers, and got it.

As a prime person of thirty,

I found my way to a premise,

Where I fell for a pleasant girl.

I made her brother’s acquaintance.

 As a grown up man of forty,

I found my way to a camp site,

Where I fell for a poised woman.

I sought her husband’s acquaintance

In order to make hers, and got it.

As a matured man of fifty,

I found my way to a new site,

Where I fell for a ripe lady.

I made her son’s acquaintance

In order to have hers, and got it.

As a seasoned man of sixty,

I made my way to my neigbourhood,

Where I fell for a charming girl.

I made her grandma’s acquaintance

In order to make hers, and got it.

Getting  a mere acquaintance

Of an opposite sex itself

Will work wonders in both live hearts

And enliven the lives they live

Without any expression of love.

11.09.2014

To be successful…

To succeed in a society,

Its people must believe in you

As a man of means, first of all,

As a man of trust secondly

And as a man of heart, last of all.

10.09.2014

Glory dies with memory.

Today’s glory, tomorrow you carry

And wants each day to adds to the glory

Because you have, to carry it, memory.

This life’s glory you cannot carry beyond

As with this life will die your memory.

Must you build at others’ cost glory?

11.09.2014

Sources and termination

How long, how high and how stable

Stays a flame is from the stock

Of oil, wig and the air combined.

How long, how high and how stable

Lives a life is from the stock

Of brain, energy and opportunity.

Both can be blown off any time.

09.09.2014

The sweetest song

A lullaby is the sweetest of all.

Mother singing it, finds it sweeter;

The child hearing it, finds it sweeter.

Of both, which is sweeter is anybody’s guess.

09.09.2014 

Be rational.

Beliefs give breath to gods;

Gods give breath to religions;

Religions give breath to rites

And rites, to superstition.

02.09.2014

Who are all sweet?

Who all listen to me are sweet to me;

Who all stand by me are sweet to me;

Who all favour me are sweet to me.

I shall be sweet to who all I am so.

02.09.2014

The grief at death

Being aware of one’s children’s welfare

Is the purpose and pleasure of living

And when it ends leaving the progeny,

Grief engulfs as to how children would fare.

02.09.2014

Choices for the time being

At every junction, we chose a path

With a vision of, say, a hundred yards,

With many miles lying ahead unknown.

Is it that we have made the choicest path?

30.08.2014

Who can be blamed?

One turned a soldier; one turned a robber.

Who is to blame other than the environment?

One died in the war; one in an encounter.

Who is to blame other than time and fate?

29.08.2014

Time management

Framing time for work seems a good management.

Works, if little, would stretch till the time limit.

Works, if heavy, would crash to the time limit.

Either the time or the work would suffer.

29.08.2014

Birth is a bubble burst with death.

He and she were married for fifty years.

Now they are no more but children are there.

They didn’t carry with them their memory.

Their life is to them now as good as void.

Do they know they had been husband and wife?

They don’t know whether they had lived at all.

Memory sustains interest in life.

If memory of each day with that day

Is lost and not recalled the next day

What interest will you have to pursue life?

Each birth, when over, leaves no memory.

Must we attach significance to our birth?

27.08.2014

Multi love is natural.

A certain set of women attract

A certain set of men in contacts

As a certain size of nuts will fit

A certain size of bolts when joined.

It is a myth that love sparks only once.

It sparks every time matching people met.

Scorching it is the self-denial of bliss.

Poly-love does no harm but inspires both.

27.08.2014

Shed the hatred to shine.

Hatred is a cataract; it blurs one’s vision.

He refuses to acknowledge merits

That he finds in those he has hatred for.

Cause no hatred; it’d diminish your worth.

26.08.2014

Polyamory

Polygamy was in tune with the nature.

Monogamy was brought in to fix father.

Monotony set in as a byproduct.

Monogamy is thus overrated.

Polygamy too is outdated

And cannot be resurrected as before.

Polyamory is a new found outlet,

Where the emotional love developed

Is permitted to thrive as an offshoot

To be known to all the parties involved,

With sex more as a fun, if it happens,

With no intention to procreation.

25.08.2014

Multiple children

I will do the task allotted to me.

If it is allotted to more than one,

I will not work a bit more than my share,

Not minding others’ incapacity.

Parents with multiple children suffer

Unlike the old parents with a lone child.

25.08.2014

No universal moral

The egg is meant for its embryo.

The seed is meant for its embryo.

The flower is meant for fruiting.

The milk is meant for its calf.

Honey is meant for its worms.

We consume them and destroy their lives.

Is there any universal moral?

20.08.2014

Love to be fulfilled.

Fulfillment yields satisfaction.

Be it a task or love at your hand.

The task fulfilled sets a next task.

but the love fulfilled satiates you.

20.08.2014

Qualification for friendships

Rich men have fewer friends;

Big men have fewer friends;

They provide less comfort zone;

The wall built excludes them.

Common man has more friends.

Poor man has more friends.

They retain comfort zone;

With no walls, easy access.

18.08.2014

The end is a fall.^

Falls and rises alternate.

A fall is followed by a rise.

The end is always a fall.

When it’s, is anybody’s guess.

18.08.2014

Life is run without proofs.

Gossips are believed; so are allegations.

Epics are believed; so are histories.

scriptures, predictions and hearsay are too.

Life is run on beliefs, without a proof.

18.08.2014

The structure on the ignorance

Uncertainties is the future.

Fears are built on uncertainties.

Hopes are built on fears.

Beliefs are built on hopes.

Faiths are built on beliefs.

Religions are built on faiths

Gods are built on religions.

Promises are built on gods.

They owe their existence

To human imaginations.

Innocence is the basement.

Ignorance is the foundation.

17.08.2014

Be a judge to advice.

One’s energy level of resistance

Will rise against any advice given

With some motivation or as an agent,

However best its efficacy is.

17.08.2014.

Love of the couple

The time the couple started

Loving their child that is born,

Loving each other they would stop,

With love focused on the child.

They might get their love back

When their children branched away.

17.08.2014.
