The last bliss

Taboo in sex removed’

Stigma in adultery ruined,

Consensual sex granted,

Man can get back his bliss

Lost when he got civilized.

24.11.2014.

Woman’s no is no.

Woman’s ‘no’ is not ‘yes’

As man likes to assess.

It’s not from her shyness

As man believes for himself.

Any friendship is platonic

To her and it comforts her.

Any friendship is sexual

To him that he wants to be.

Even in a courtship,

She can say ‘no’, the real ‘no’,

To push him back to a place

Where she can be in comfort.

Relationship can be

Mutual, spiritual,

Emotional and corporal

In a consensual way.

Cross not the level she grants.

Cilappathikarm: three themes

“To the erring King Virtue is Yemah”

Pandian King laid his life in honour

Following his error of judgment.

Covalan was killed wrongly for the theft

Of an anklet missing from his consort.

“The chaste woman shall be hailed by the learned.”

Kannaki proved the King wrong in killing

Her husband and set ablaze Madurai,

The capital, with the power acquired

By her chastity, modesty and virtue.

Fate of one’s past shall hit one by pursuit.”

The King laid his life; her queen followed suit.

Covalan was murderd; Madhavi was estranged.

Kannaki was widowed; Madurai was destroyed.

Other than the fate of the past, no cause;

( Yemah is the Death God in the Hindu mythology. Madhavi was Covalan’s lover. Silappathikaram is a Tamil classic 1000 year old.)

23.11.2014

Make a life.

To make a life; to make a living.

There is a quality difference in them.

Drop the rat race; have compassion.

To make a life is worth the birth got.

23.11.2014

The waste or the venture?

Why must a plane sail in water?

Why must a man walk on water?

Flying and wading are easier.

Waste of time or spirit of venture?

23.11.2014

No loss to the one lost.

What does one lose the most on death?

The body? The belongings?

The beloved? The descendants?

The perception? The memory?

None; it’s like zero minus zero.

Is the child to its mother a loss

When she has been drowned with the child?

23.11.2014

Is homosexual an adultery?

Gays must outnumber lesbians.

Boys and girls are easy targets.

Aged men and women corner them.

Stigma for Homosexuals sheds.

Woman and woman do sex games

By playing their tongues and fingers.

Man and man indulge in sex games

By playing their mouths and fists.

Homosexuals lead their lives

As heterosexuals with spouses

And yet have an extra passion

For the same gender by instincts.

It’s not that gays like only gays

And lesbians, only lesbians.

They are attracted to other people

Who themselves don’t be homosexuals

No age bar for attraction between them

Though the youth and the old bind is common.

Exclusive gays are living as a couple.

Sodomy is replaced by fellatio.

A woman can sleep with many women,

And a man can do it with many men.

Such relations aren’t held immoral.

Homosexual rapes go unreported.

Monks and nuns turn homosexuals,

Lured by access and sure secrets

Against the forbidden hetero-sex.

Is homosexual adulterous?

20.11.2014

Be ants

Sugar got mixed with sand.

Man is worried about it.

Ants didn’t bother about it.

They know how to segregate.

21.11.2014

Lust survives menopause.

Woman! Menopause is not a finish.

Sexual impulses do not die with it.

Sexual attraction is not over with it.

As long as your cheeks and breasts have firmness,

You’ll draw eyes of men, your age or elder,

No matter you’re past sixty or seventy.

20.11.2014

Assurance

Add caption

Man getting a lap

And woman, a shoulder,

They can scale the hill

And wade the pool.

21.11.2014

Denial is crueler.

Injustice is cruel;

Denial of it is still more.

Treachery is offensive;

Denial of it is still more.

Adultery is worse;

Denial of it is still more.

Violence is inhumane;

Denial of it is still more.

Custody death is horrible;

Denial of it is still more.

The denial of harms done wounds.

The weak are beaten twice.

20.11.2014

Organized supports are a prison.

The Republic of Plato is widely read.

The theory of Charles Darwin is well read.

The works of William Shakespeare too;

They have readers across the religions.

The bible is read by a community.

The Quran is read by a community.

The Gita is read by a community. 

They have been imprisoned by the religions.

20.11.2018

No more pregnancy

Sex is for procreation. It is God-made.

Sex is for relationship. It is man made.

Sex is a fun. It is Cupid-made.

The order has been reversed

With sex as fun to be the first.

The order will soon be truncated

To only one: sex is for fun.

Children will be made in the lab

And brought home as the copies.

No botheration of pregnancy.

18.11.2014

God is only to man.

The universe is of many galaxies,

Galaxies are of many solar systems,

Which are of many planets and moons,

And our earth is one of many planets.

The earth hosts trillions of biomass,

From which are human beings a fraction,

Who only speak of God’s efficacy

Confined only to the human beings.

18.11.2014

Later dependence

Independent of each other,

Husbands and wives live together.

Dependent upon each other,

They have to wind up their end life.

18.11.2014

Post death vision

There is no after life;

There is no after bliss.

There is no after memory;

There is no rebirth.

Eat while you eat;

Drink while you drink.

Live while you live

Be merry, which is life.

18.11.2014

Defiance at work

Accidents happen despite precautions.

Crimes and sins are there despite laws and codes.

Outside forces defy expectations

Or basic instincts defy reasoning.

19.11.2014

The world is not for harmony.

Living things cannot live in harmony.

One set of them is set as predators

Against the other set as prey for food.

Can a wolf and a sheep be in harmony?

17.112014

Consolation and compassion

The news of deaths awakes me to recall

Those dead whom I forgot a long ego.

Some I heard suffered a lot for long time.

Some I heard were neglected to decay.

In many, deaths became known very late.

In many, funerals were not attended.

Guilt purrs me that I must have seen them alive

And that I must have rendered assistance.

Consolation shown to the inmates

Is not compassion shown to the diseased.

Fear engulfs me as to what is in store

For me, now on the verge, concerning the end.

15.11.2014

The mirror helps in sex.

Kiss a woman on her lips, tongues locking.

Do it before a long mirror present.

The sight of you and her reflected

Would enhance sexual arousal in both.

15.11.2014

Friendships can be anywhere.

Two nobles or two rebels can be thick friends.

Two urchins or two traders can be fast friends.

Two beggars or two cobblers can be close friends.

Friendships, like love, can be thick of any two.

15.11.2014

Hopeless toils

People sow for tenfold harvest

Of seeds sown in the field and work hard.

People sow, for one tenth returns,

On the children, and are yet uncertain.

13.11.2014

The unprecedented inclination

I met her that day, one of my kin,

Now a widow and at seventy one,

As striking as she was a year back,

With a sharp nose and a clear talk.

At seventy four,  I got obsessed.

Her looks or my age or both are culprits.

To volunteer to offer her helps

Stems from my heart unprecedentedly.

13.11.2014

Fear eats happiness.

Fear of loss, fear of pain,

Fear of revenge or repercussions,

Fear of falling a victim,

Fear of danger, and fear of death

Form the major parts of worries

Of one in an ascending order

That eat into one's happiness.

The intensity of the fear

Is indirectly proportional

To the insecure mind of one.

14.11.2014

Woman is liberated.

The couple is no more a bicycle,

Where the woman runs as the back wheel.

The couple has become two mono-cycles,

Where man and woman run as parallel wheels.

Her wheel is liberated from man’s wheel,

Thanks to the empowerment of woman.

13.11.2014

Mother and God

Mother is held dearer than God

As she’s not a terminator.

God is held dearer than mother

As and when she makes her exit.

13.11.2014

Owners agitate.

The gold is not moved when someone steal it.

The house is not hit when some trespass it.

The yard is not down when some invaded.

It is those who own them are agitated.

Man feels he owns woman and protects her.

Man is agitated in woman’s missing.

12.11.2014

No use of the interest

What interest would I have

In seeing and preserving

Things, places and people

If I cannot recall them next day?

What interest must I have

In doing and achieving

Many feats, ranks and knowledge

As I cannot recall in next birth?

11.11.2014

Sex differs from love.

A woman done by a lesbian

Does not lose her chastity.

A woman done by a masseur

Does not lose her chastity.

A woman done by a sex worker

Is to be held on the same foot

As by that act she does not lose

Her loyalty for her husband

And her relation with him

Is no more than man’s with a whore.

06.11.2014

Celibacy is a sacrifice.

To beget a child and leave it behind

As a copy is one’s soul surging drive.

To forgo it is a great sacrifice.

Bow to priests who practice celibacy.

06.11.2014

Habits are the cause.

Cuteness, comfort, convenience,

Value and agreeability come

From habits formed on a mind set

From the customs and convictions.

06.11.2014

Peace is eaten into

Anxieties are the worry of the future;

Regrets are the worry of the past.

These cannot be dispensed with by any.

These eat into one’s peace in intervals.

06.11,2014

Beliefs in God stay put.

Faith in gods that they would rescue me,

Hopes in gods that they would protect me

And beliefs in gods that they would hear my pleas

Stem from ignorance carried by human genes.

06.11.2014

Sufferings with no escape

A child has no alternative.

If it’s to suffer at the hand

Of its parents, it has to.

An old man has no alternative.

If he’s to suffer at the hand

Of his caretaker, he has to.

The sufferings that occur

Without any alternatives

Would increase fear and pain more.

06.11.2014

Rivals are deadly.

Siblings turn rivals;

Colleagues turn rivals;

Neighbours turn rivals.

Rivals know one’s Achilles heel

And are deadlier than enemies.

06.11.2014

Rulers seeming generous

Being given bones, dogs don’t mind

Being kicked by their dear masters.

Being given gifts, the mas won’t mind

Being taxed heavily by the rulers.

06.11.2014

Inadequacy forms guilt.

.

Inadequacy of love and care shown

To parents in their life time must have been

The reason for a frequent remembrance

Of them by their children after their deaths.

06.11.2014

Most ones perish for a few.

Giving birth to a seedling,

A seed dies; otherwise also it dies.

Giving birth to a flower,

A bud dies; otherwise also it dies.

Giving birth to a fruit/seed

A flower dies; otherwise also it dies.

Giving no birth to any

Would die, roots, stems and leaves.

Most ones are roots, stems and leaves

For the rest to flourish in the kingdom.

06.11.2014

It is time we amended law.

The birth is a gift of parents.

The death is a theft of Nature.

Neither bought nor sold, can life be

In the ownership of anyone?

Is suicide within one’s purview?

Can one seek death from battling pain?

Can’t one get death, fearing pain?

Does right to live gives right to die?

05.11.2014

Dopamine, the nuero- chemical

A word of praise, you strive for.

A nod of love, you long for.

To seek or work for a reward

Is due to a neuro-chemical,

Dopamine, present in the brain.

Giving up the reward itself

Is a reward. In sacrifice

Of parents, it can be found.

One’s motivation to progress

Depends on the quantum of

Dopamine and the amount released

From the pull of the object.

04.11.2014

Do these unite or divide?

People are drawn close one another

By region, religion and language

And feel united, only to stand

As groups pitted against each other.

04.11.2014

Man suffers more than animals.

I loved her but she didn’t; I left; no pain;

I abandoned the love because I couldn’t.

I loved her but forbidden; I lost; much pain;

I refrained from the love because I shouldn’t.

The love unrequited would cause less stress

Than the love aborted as forbidden.

Man subjects himself to more sufferings

Than animals because of his moral codes.

04.11.2014

Overreaching

After a yearlong sojourn

In the course of my teaching job,

I’ve got one object before me –

To get that student as my wife,

And as my wife she shall be

Provided she’s got as much, or

Half as much regards and love

As I have for her in my heart.

And would she be so docile,

So spirited and so happy

In front of me, if she had not?

Would she attend without a miss

All my classes with such solemn mien

When I was near, if she had not?

Would she then nestle to a nook

Of happiness, if she had not?

With optimism at its height,

As is to every lover,

I decoded all her movements

More than they have actually implied,

And my confidence rose so high

As to break the news of my love.

Next day I waited for her nod.

She didn’t come and quit the class.

03.11.2014

Many answers

Is zebra black with white stripes

Or white with black stripes? I mused.

Are the Himalayas in the north

Or in the south? I question.

Is the coin with the head or the tail?

One question has many answers.

Situations determine them.

03.11.2014

Tuition without a fee

In teaching her a music lesson,

I could enjoy treble pleasure

Of having her presence close by,

Hearing her voice in a tone sexy,

And looking in intervals her eyes.

Where could I get this privilege,

The one unobserved and undisturbed,

In derivation of visual lust?

No wonder, I taught her without a fee.

03.11.2014

Imaginations give cues.

What is Heaven? What is Hell?

What are Angels? What are Demons?

I don’t know and I haven’t seen.

Religions said it in the mythology.

Literature said it in the poetry.

Heaven is great, Hell is low, I conceived.

Angels are high, Demons are lowly, I held.

No cue and no clue to anyone.

Imaginations give the clues

And with that everyone passes away.

03.11.2014

The focused one is the hero/heroin.

What you focus your eyes on

Would sideline others present

And gain importance more than its due

And demote others less than their due.

01.11.2014

The Chance shows you the path.

Maybe you’ve reached there because of your legs.

To reach there and not anywhere else rests

With the Chance that led you to choose that path.

The head must fill no air but bow to the Chance.

01.10.2014

The cruelest event

Death is the cruelest event I face

Not that with that I leave everything

But that with that I leave my memory,

With which goes recalling ability.

01.11.2014

The fruit embittered.

Sanyasa is renunciation;

Tyaga is resignation.

To give up action (desires driven)

Is renunciation;

To give up the fruit of action

Is resignation.

The fruit propels the desire.

The desire propels the action.

Abandoning actions

Obligatory out of delusion

Is not Tyaga.

Giving up actions

Troublesome but a must

Is not Tyaga

Doing actions, a must,

Giving up the fruit

Is real Tyaga.

The old age

Without Sanyasa and Tyaga

Is a bitter fruit to the rest.

(Based on the last chapter of the Gita)

30.10.2014

The Creator is beyond

Evolution is consistent

With the notion of creation;

Evolution requires creation

Of beings that evolve duly.

It’s like growth requiring a birth.

Life, born, is set to evolution.

Creation is, hence, not ruled out.

Who the creator of life is

Anybody’s guess, and beyond

One’s prayers and pleas, He dwells.

29.10.2014

The risks of a birth

Once born, one must find food and water

And escape the predator throughout one’s life.

One must compete with rivals for food and sex.

Accidents and disasters must exclude one.

Adverse heat and cold must spare one.

The old age must breed no organ failures.

Paucity of water and drought can kill one.

Must a birth with these risks be tried at all?

29.10.2014

What do your children want from you?

Conserve energy that depletes.

Conserve fuels that deplete.

Conserve forests that go barren.

Conserve water that goes scarce.

Conserve air that goes smoky.

Saving, and leaving money

And enormous properties

Is of no use to your children.

29.10.2014

The Postmodernism

Religion is an imposer.

Family is an imposer.

Society is an imposer.

Morality is a one side.

Culture is a one side.

Values are a one side.

The might sway the weak.

The rich sway the poor.

The high sway the low.

These curb individual’s freedom

Of a section by the other.

This is what Postmodernism advocates.

24.10.2014

Religion is the heartless.

Religion is the heart of the heartless

And the gasps of the innocent followers.

Religion is the device to divert

The distress and anger, towards prayer.

The Heads are safe in the toils of the mass.

The mass are proud in slaving to the Heads.

23.10.2014

Where envy enters not

No man envies woman her beauty.

It is like envying food its taste.

No woman envies man his wisdom.

It is like envying nest its strength.

No parent envies kids their success.

It is like envying own limbs their worth.

22.10.2014

The son’s gratitude

“What was your father?”, asked the reporter.

“He was a farm labourer.”, he said.

“How is it, Chief Engineer?” , exclaimed he.

He said, “He was not lucky enough

To have a father like mine.”, and chuckled.

Neither regret nor gratitude ruled there.

Yet his father would be happy with that

As his son has not disowned his father.

21.10.2014

Love all the ones is a no.

We can make up our mind to love

The foe, the rival and the enemy.

To tolerate, to coexist

And to forgive are a kind of love.

Can one love one’s predator?

Can the goat love the wolf to be a host?

Can one love one’s prey as a friend?

Can the owl love the goat to be a guest?

20.10.2014.

Love all the ones is a no.

We can make up our mind to love

The foe, the rival and the enemy.

To tolerate, to coexist

And to forgive are a kind of love.

Can one love one’s predator?

Can the goat love the wolf to be a host?

Can one love one’s prey as a friend?

Can the owl love the goat to be a guest?

20.10.2014.

The founder is his movement’s soul.

What has happened to his movements

Since the death of SathyaSai Baba?

What has happened to his movements

Since the death of Swami Rajanish?

What has happened to his movements

Since the death of Swami Shivandha?

During their life time, like a monarch,

They had ruled their vast followers.

Once the founder is no more

The movement has lost its soul.

20.10.2014

To be not jealous…

When pity enters, hatred will moves out.

When jealousy visits, it brings in hatred.

Move with the less fortunate and help them

So that pity, and not jealousy, occupies you.

19.10.2014

Why does the old one suffer?

A child is helpless; it evokes pity.

Parents are tempted to take care of it.

An old is helpless; it seeks pity.

Children get no such temptation, ho.

19.10.2014 

The real birth

The leaf has a birth; so does the flower.

The seed has a birth; so does the seedling.

The egg has a birth; so does a larva.

The fly has a birth; so does a pupa.

Gametes have birth; zygotes have birth.

The embryo and the young ones have births.

Even each cell and the nucleus have births.

Species, genus and families have their births.

Birth is a stage distinct in the life string

Like a day as a new year in a year.

No birth is exclusive but protruding.

The origin of life is the real birth.

18.10.2014

The maidenlust

The sentiment of sexual pleasure

That accompanied my maiden love

I enacted with a village girl,

The sentiment neither weakened

Nor strengthened by her rank and face,

Is staying afresh in my memory,

Not to be erased by the subsequent

Events with higher elements in them.

16.10.2014

Judge the issue

The rich and the poor, treat alike.

The strong and the weak, hold alike.

The big and the small, seek alike.

The friend and the foe, see alike.

Judge the issue, not the person.

Then you’re the great, though some scorn.

Be a Vibhishana

[A character, who deserted his brother and joined his foe Rama in the epic war on the ground of justice]

Power of light and woman

 

Add caption

A thousand watts bulb illuminates the room.

A candle too can illuminate the room.

In revealing clothes, woman tempts a man.

Mere her face alone can tempt a man.
