Ride Alone to Win

 

One shall put all the efforts, ride alone

to hear many claps at Finish line.

Life Pulls Back

Life pulls back,

Not knowingly soul is a bow.

Never mind,

shall stretch back

not one, but two or more inches.

To shoot arrows forward.

But do not break me, the bow!

Congratulating Cricket

 

The game is so called gentleman’s

Battle in the middle of green is the beauty

Decreed that cricket would be played in a gentlemanly manner

Tourney is to attain the title World Championship

Of course competition is fiery

No matter what, game shall be the game with its scent and beauty

Let me congratulate Team Australia

For winning World Cricket Championship 2023

For classy display of the final game

That defeating shameless wrong doings throughout the tourney,

shocking blind, deaf and toothless game’s governing body

and its mockery in front of money vested bully

The winning may

restore and save the beauty in cricket

send many devils out

mark the end of International Cricketing Crooks

bring back gentlemen to

govern the International Cricket

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.  

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…

Come Down Vultures

 

Vultures

Dive down, fly low

Bird’s eye view may mislead

Music played loud, for time pass

There is no celebration

People rush and queue

for daily needs

One queue after another

They struggle for a living

And living the life…

You powerful vultures

Dive down,

Come down…

Survival

Crane birds flock,

even around cattle

for survival

 

Don't Know How

 

Afar, the sky bends down

towards the mighty ocean

where horizon looks calm

Journey towards the shore

how do waves become wild…

 

Mild breeze whispers to

colorful petals,

butterfly wings

How does it turn violent

twisting branches and twigs…

 

I don’t know how does a

kind smile, soft words

bury under

By anger, the rude

in a short while…

Ruler’s Court Painter

 

Surrounded by many

colours and tools.

Though,

his color pallets

blessed with only a certain

set of colours.

Price in the Tag

 

Branded Price Tag

 

Smile

Life is a journey

Passing many miles

holding good old memories.

Hard and tough roads

Having many turns,

ups and downs.

Whatever it is

True smile take all away.

The shortest mile

of life’s journey is a smile.

That could hold the impression

life long…

What draws a smile,

Deep under ocean of mind

softy wave of smile is born,

don’t know where exact.

Nerve fires, smile muscle

tiny little muscle

attached to mouth

to cheekbone is activated,

Corners of mouth are pulled-up

and looks happy.

If it’s a true smile,

signifies real enjoyment by its wearer,

branch of the facial nerve

carry the secret…

Activates little muscles around the eyes,

wrinkling around the beautiful eyes

that uplift the smile,

charming smile…

Otherwise it’s just a smile.

That the science of smile, anyway

Smile, smile and smile…

The Light

Though

moon shines

on sun rays

Firefly

spreadsout

it’s own…

The Web Master

Restless she

awaits for him

come out of the web

that he built…

Anxious she spider

awaits to welcome him

into afresh silky white web

she span for him…

Picker

Mystery of Voter

Eyeballs rolling over

fingers walking through

the long ballot paper

Searching for 

the likes of dislikes

Getting a list 

may be miserable

Simply a cross,

if it reaches the cage 

may be rejected

else, will it choose 

the right anyway…

Walking Stick

Walking Stick
One who posses may

Depend on it, use as a walking aid

and move slowly

Just hold in hand

and walk fast

Move around it in air,

if so shall make sure it does not reach

others nose
