Few words,
countless emotions,
fading memories
And she said
Come back, we all await
the day you return
lantern is still lit
gallery where your paintings
we sold for pennies
then in gold coins too many
long for your presence
such long absence
from us, and her
she misses you
little traveller, ride with me, let me show you the world
its contradictions and most affable beings, animals, birds
Devils showing affection, hugs and their hold
how saints turn evil, those tales which are never told
to you and I, those are best ones, ignore rest ones
let’s search someone who could spill the beans
old friend Rusty rabbit, ready to tell the tale
describing ponderous journey flying inside a gale
engaging to extreme, time passes it seems
and no one, absolutely not one soul, notices
tale unfolds, muted emotions, colours are bold,
details of creatures, things they can do
absolutely incredible, beyond true
then enter charades, colossal mighty parades
of million thousand Deers, each singing a hymn
hmmmmm hmmmm, o dear Lord, we gather at this feast
give us strength, protect from evil beasts
their singing rise and rise, reaching beyond fortissimo
world joins the chorus, trees move with the beat
animals Kingdom awakens with Angels on their feet
suddenly, silence breaks the spell, we are left in wonder
weather has turned wasteful, rain clouds and thunder
another day perhaps, come back and surrender
your heart to conclude this journey my friend
from this side of the earth, to the other end
Taste fickle
Eat, Chuckle
Furrow brows
Hurt knuckle
Loose belt
Tighten buckle
and enjoy
My dear
In and out of fear
Story never ends
Even when bones bend
Unable to stand
Or sleep, weep
Injured deep
Inside, unable to move
Unable to leave
an impression
on sands of time
at your favourite beach
still, love and its soothing
dim, sometimes grimm,
feeling is left for eons
and a lost soul
able to touch it and says
Hey, I know that beauty
pretty princess was here
there and everywhere
rhythm of her steps
is a lullaby to this universe
Last time I saw you
You were going strong at 90
the person who moved the world
With his bare hands
And a smile
Which moved us all
Which crushed the evil in our hearts
We are indebted to you
With our lives and our humanity
Long may you live in the history of the world
Not the person who removed the apartheid
But the one who taught humanity to humans

A Bit of poetry
CaDet of science
Earl of conversations
FlaG of reliance
HI-fiving humanity
JacK of any juggling
LooMing uncertain life
NOn stop giggling
PiQued by ignorance
RuSty in singing
TrUe to his friends
VieWs worth pinging
eXcessivelY Zinging
an AB of everything
to reflect on and show disgust to killings in gang wars, school massacres, terrorism, lynching, or any other barbaric acts of humans involving killing of other human beings
I look at senseless killings
of ordinary denizens
doing their tasks
in a ordinary way
on a ordinary day
And these human sake
Monsters
complete evil beings
unable to call them humans
unable to call them anything
kill humanity with shots
in the head
everyone feared dead
and the street just dread
their steps covered in blood
gore and flesh
which seems like
they have eaten
of innocent beings
How this will end
How …this will end
Annihilation?
Armageddon?
Or resurrection day
Why it is not today!!!
