If I Could
If I could
I would
without
any further ado
make deaf
the spectators
in the blind courts of
so called justice!
Yes deaf,
if it is only a magistrate
the all important
the so called your honour
your highness
me lord- that needs to know
the nitty-gritty of a case then
why do we need the spectators
inside the so called temple of justice???
If I could
I would certainly
envelope every victim
especially of a family court
in an invisible sheath of armour
an armour that repels...

My Sky has gone grey, it's blue no more!
my sky has gone grey it is blue no more
this heart can't be fixed with a glue no more
when came the rain it brought silver linings
even though it's left can't see hue no more
closer to my heart I thought was that heart
now where is that heart I have clue no more
why the lone swan is drifting by the lake
they said it's mate has left it flew no more
my sky has gone grey it is blue no more
this heart can't be fixed with a glue no more

An eventful day with DU Poets
That was the day
when Craic declared he's gay
Jade came with a spade
smashed Kate at the gate
Dave dropped his quilt
Case felt the guilt
then satan dropped his sperm
dartford held 'his' firm
Webmistress wanted tax
denied said Viddax
Taryn got unstuck
Indie ran ot of luck
Hemi smashed his head
boulder he tried to shred
Zazzles caused some sparks
but Johnny's blaze burnt the park
Mary gave him typhoid
Psychotic said it's hammeroids
Then Miki saw him mooning
told Carpe go...

Let's Elope
Enough restraints
enough disdains
all we've borne
is pain and pain
I say my dear
let's just elope
no mirrors to rear
it's time for hope!
Let's begin anew
time the birds flew
no more cliches
we just run through!

Apocalypse- for a mining town
Poem originally written for and submitted in Miki's competition "Apocalypse"]
she spoke in apocalytic tone
she was though not alone
her elders told her stories
inglorious end to glories
a booming mining town
once stood above a deposit
river of riches runs
under the earth, they mine it
so the hustle and bustle lasted
stream after stream they blasted
businesses mushroomed
hotels with many roooms
where's the apocalypse they asked
under a glorious sun they basked
she smiled then yelled out the rant...

Wise ol' guy
once upon a time
long gone by
lived an old fella
they called him wise guy
often foul mouthed
often uncouth
open narcissist
offered no assists
yet was loved by all
never took a fall
spoke the bitter truth
at times sounding brute
he lived in feudal times
poverty was a crime
he consoled no poor
said they're stuck in moor
there was this feudal lord
made peasants sign accord
were his the crops they'd raise
millet barley maize
return he gave them pittance
meagre his own admittance...

Mate! take your eyes off yourself
Mate!
take ya eyes off yourself
there's so much to admire!
There's your partner
too busy caring
and might sound cliche'
sharing
there's beauty in her
and there's beauty
about her
ever thought of
turning your back
to the mirror
and cuddling up
to the figure
behind your image
in the mirror and
in the society.
The one too busy
to do her hair
looking after you
and the kids
yes, she's the one
who once used to spend
hours
getting ready to...

Mama am tired!

No Man Owns Nothing
No man owns nothing,
to own something
would mean
to move
one letter and
introduce an apostrophe
back three spaces!
See, owning something
has already dragged you
back three paces and
the ability
to say
no!
And that is something,
we can delve on
after
you've somehow
hypothetically
gone ahead,
made the effort
and conquerred/bought/won
something.
Are you a free man now?
Now you've turned that no man owns nothing
to man's own thing,...

Gimme simple words..
Gimme simple words
words that I do not need
to see through
for I am
a simpleton
an ignoramus
as I have said earlier
I don't dive
into the ocean
of poetry
I am just
a visitor
to the beach!
Gimme simple words
or look me in the eye
then
we won't need
no words
at all!
Gimme simple words
or play me a tune
I won't need
even my eyes then
to see
what you mean!

A belated [single] mother's day tribute!
You began this journey a tender soul
a bundle of joy a bouncing foal
your innocence melted every heart
when You didn't win wanted re-start
Then came the school and friends were made
time just flew with subjects, grades
then came the phase when glam was good
You felt lonely and mis-understood
Adolescent came with adventures, flames
had your share of hurtful games
friends fell away with passage of times
barely a memory of nursery rhymes
Then you met the one you thought meant for You
dreams are off priorities anew
what began...
a bundle of joy a bouncing foal
your innocence melted every heart
when You didn't win wanted re-start
Then came the school and friends were made
time just flew with subjects, grades
then came the phase when glam was good

Adolescent came with adventures, flames
had your share of hurtful games
friends fell away with passage of times
barely a memory of nursery rhymes
Then you met the one you thought meant for You
dreams are off priorities anew
what began...
