Elasticity

Stretch, that stretches

Release the force, reshapes

But excessive force

that would worn,

Not elastic anymore... 

Young Son

 

It’s the same

dining table and chairs

where two of you were

in a competition

who would sit next to

mum or dad,

today those are empty and idle.

Wider shoulders, tall young

you, our little boy

following the big brother

to dive in the ocean

of knowledge

pick the pearl best.

My dear son

life is a journey

not a destination

compel to move

one point to another

forward and wise.

We know that very well

but, every meal we serve our self

your mum’s eyes are heavy

hope you are fine there.

Remember the goal and beyond,

wish you all success,

we have a dream,

dream to success!

Note:

An attempt to get into shoes of our very close family friends at time their young son flown away to attend his overseas college. They, dear, caring brother, sister and two young boys are very special to us, I have no words to describe their bond for years whatever season of our lives.  

Horizon

 

Far, very far

sky bends down, to kiss the ocean

Fatigue Sun at day end

paints there beautiful

I paddle, paddle with my pen

reaching there, ambitious

Singing birds fly over me

light and happy

Where are they heading?

Are they too

in search of the horizon...

Broken

Kid with his coloring book and pastels

Asking for colors he should use…

My dear,

Piece of chocolate is chocolate brown

Strawberry is strawberry red

Don’t you remember?

But blueberry is purple in color

Oranges of ours are green

Imported are orange color

You know…

Kid sorting out tiny color pastels

Puzzled look in his face

Aren’t colour, taste and smell of

slab of chocolate

basket of fruits

faded out of his head,

make me sad.

The rupee kite climbed up

Floating high in the sky free

While mocking rulers’ blow

it high further

We continue becoming dwarfs

in front of shop display racks.

Walk in My Shoes

 

Before you judge or criticize me

if you can

walk a while

in my shoes,

that I would love lending,

but

bring a pair of your own socks.

Time To Show

Different wheels

the mechanism and move

may be 

noisy or quiet

normal or not,

the face plate

must show

the time,

dear

thin, long and fat arms

maintain the rhythm

keep ticking

the clock…
