Elegy for little angels flown to heaven
Alas, the bereaved mothers, the poor mommies
Who see only mummies of their sons in nightmarish slumber
Left behind hugging dreary stony tombstones
While hearts harder than sepulchres
are the assasins
with no pity for those in their prime.
Loved ones lost to an unseen netherworld before their time
Killed in atrocious senseless crime
All the nurturing care and motherhood tossed to the winds
Maternal hearts bereaved until their own demise
Moving on easier suggested than done.
Their only hope and consolation
A hereafter family...
Who see only mummies of their sons in nightmarish slumber
Left behind hugging dreary stony tombstones
While hearts harder than sepulchres
are the assasins
with no pity for those in their prime.
Loved ones lost to an unseen netherworld before their time
Killed in atrocious senseless crime
All the nurturing care and motherhood tossed to the winds
Maternal hearts bereaved until their own demise
Moving on easier suggested than done.
Their only hope and consolation
A hereafter family...

Human hues
She slipped clumsily in a café
Looked all around her
from the corner of her eye
Felt all eyes upon her
Bit her lip
and flushed crimson
most disconcertedly.
He was sacked,
literally fired
Got down in the dumps
Was down and out
and was left feeling
blue real gloomily.
He gave her a blossomed rose
Blood rushed to her cheeks
She blushed a deep red
so very joyously.
She watched her rival from afar
envy surged in her quite in reflex
and she turned green...

Marriage btw man and woman, the only sensible union
Eversince mankind was placed on this planet,
commencing from the first man
the marriage between man and woman
has been the only relationship that is logical and rational
normal and natural
instrument of man's survival
Procreation is exclusively for the heterosexual.
Unlike the abnormal and unnatural
way of the homosexual.
Homosexuality is a disorder caused by rebellion
and rebellious perversion
and the country where it is not stigmatised or condemned
it would result more as a psychological effect
where persons are...

HUMANS NEED A HEREAFTER
Life would
be quite worthless and short
If this is
the only
dear life
we
have
Great
plans just death can abort
to be
useless
once you
met
your grave.
And for
those who
die young,
in
childhood's
tender
ages
How short
and
incomplete life would be
How
unfair and
unlucky if
death's
the end
for them
Besides
life to the fullest is eternity.
What
about
those who
born
and die
poor ...
be quite worthless and short
If this is
the only
dear life
we

Great
plans just death can abort

useless
once you
met
your grave.
And for
those who

The corona catastrophe
Silently shrill
a silent chill
seems to have run down the spine
of our blue planet windmill
So many deceased
Too many ill
mounting and surmounting
the healthcare bill
Breathing for many
is like climbing uphill
or like panting on
your home treadmill
And it's frightening when
there is nil a pill.
A minute invisible
virus doth kill .
Pray to God for mercy
bow and kneel!
Many are dying
without a will
It's safer to stay home

Sing a song of Taj Mahal
Sing a song of Tajmahal
a fine nazm or a ghazal
Of this landmark for lovers
Ah, a lover's edifice
Complete with medieval bowers
It's a Mecca for tourists!
Tis sensational, tis exceptional
tis truly a touristy place.
Watch the shimmer of its magnificent marbled dome
Moonlight or sunlight, it glimmers of imperial chrome
It's ironical then
that though Indian-Arabian I am
I haven't yet been to this touristy place
It is truly as they must say, a lover's shrine
a place...

Jumbo jets versus jackdaws and jays
b][b]If only we could fly like
those that tweet or hoot
without aid of jet or
parachute
For I sure don't like
wings that roar
just so they can take off
and soar
Ah, to fly without petrol, diesel
or fuel
Oh, to halt that taloned midair
duel *[b]
Birds they don't pollute
the air
nor need they any airline
fare
So if only I too could rise
and glide
and let the wind be my
sole guide
I'd be happy to fly...

Marital math
After marriage we become two in one
And as it takes two to make a child
Soon love has to be divided between your other half and kids
and as they multiply
we tend to become a little calculative.
I was never as good at math as at science
So I quarter the dinner pie
and let my hubby tutor the kids on the pi
In married life you have to subtract negative numbers
to bring out the positive ones
to round it off as a near success
Even when your partner, is not a common denominator
Adaptation, love , respect plus fidelity...

How to appreciate being alive
To be alive isn't just to be alive and kicking
feeling your own legs and limbs.
To be alive is to
percieve the sights and sounds
that those who have kicked the bucket can't appreciate
until resurrection and the long wait for heaven's gate
God's most precious gift to us
Is life which He breathed into our souls.
But to be alive is to thaw
the frozen cold heart
with the warmth of feeling
coz we aren't born coldblooded.
Alive is
the sense of hearing
that hearkens not just the artificial violin ...
feeling your own legs and limbs.

Summery muse
When golden orbs of sunshine
kiss your window sill
and sunlight enters
like divine floodlights
and warms you up softly
glinting upon your knick knacks
and the decor then shines
like glittery sequins
you know
it's time you stroll to the sunkissed beach
and let sand and sun combine
in olden golden shine
for holidaying kodak moments!!
Trees offer a background of tinsels
A sunshiny backdrop for snaps[b]
But in tropical places

WITCHDOCTORS
The poor child groaned
while his mother moaned
''Ah, he's possessed,
Oh, he's been bewitched'',
Superstition bemoaned
.
To the witchdoctor she sped
and was back with murky potions
such yucky stinky lotions
Those mythical concoctions
The woman obeyed the wily witchdoctor
Placed belief in that traditional healer
and the poor child still groaned
but his mama no longer moaned
After two days of tribal treatment

O' human heart
O' heart, I wonder how
you can store
so many different
emotions of ours
in just thy four puny
chambers
while pumping away the
liquid of life
O' heart in you we
discover love
but side by side you can
harbour hate
In you we find the
emotion of happiness
but side by side you
simmer rage!
When you cease to beat
many plans you thwart
May God protect our
precious heart.
And while some O' heart
you hold dear
some make you skip a
beat in fear! ...
