Seven

"You can do it tomorrow." said sloth with ease
"What is love without desire?" asked lust to tease
"If you are angry, let it out." said wrath with a frown
"You deserve more." stated greed with a moan
"You are different from the rest." said pride
"Why them and not me?" envy cried"
"You are never devoid of hunger." said gluttony
The sins leaving me in a state of mental agony

Science of Love

For a layman, love is all a mystery
But do they know its a science?
With a solid foundation of chemistry
Between two diverse atoms in compliance

It defies the laws of physics, of gravity
For its all about falling out or falling in
Its a remedy for societal depravity
It's magnetism holding through thick and thin

Love is all biology, for it affects the nerves
Its a constant fight between the head and heart
A platter of variegated emotions that it serves
Its a process, enjoy it in whole or in parts!

PS: The challenge was to write a poem on love inspired by scientific concept or phenomenon

Sleep Paralysis

“Hold me close, hold me tight
Don’t hesitate, you will be all right”
The mumbling got closer and loud
I looked out for the voice in the crowd
“Let me go, set me free
You will be good without me”
Two different verses in a brief span of time

Ode To A Soul Sister

Bundle of exuberance, oodles of energy
She never exhibits a bit of lethargy
Genuine, affectionate, with talents so rare
She is a magician, selfless extraordinaire

A soul sister whom I acquainted late
Will miss her terribly when I leave the state!

Lyrics Of My Life

"Teachers leave the kids alone!"
My mind mumbled when entering the class
"I want to break free" was the chant
All through my growing up years
With a twinkle in his eyes, he whispered
"Everything I do, I do it for you"
Only to be beleaguered by my question
"Have you really ever loved a woman?"
While choosing to remain a "Bachelor Boy"
"Sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in"
Death being just "Two steps behind"
I live my life with "I don't want to miss a thing" zest

PS: Challenge was to write a poem about your life taking lines from your favorite music album/artist

 

Clear Night

Defeaning silence caught her ears
As she took over the duty
As birds happily called it a day
She wondered "How are they under sunray?"

Her companions had given it a miss
For she shared sparkling banters with them
Clouds, that always shrouded her light
Didn't turn up for the night!

"I feel so lonely out here!" she lamented
Shredding few drops of tears, at a farther distance, she saw
As an inmate was capturing her beauty, she blushed like a bride
"Thank God! It's a clear night!!" she said with a sense of pride

Bleeding Blue

As they descend the ground
Clad in blue
The cheers and shouts grow louder
Welcoming the heroes of their country!

The toss plays the crucial role
So does the pitch
Does it favors batting or bowling
Wonder the boys in blue

Each ball hit outside the boundary line
Each wicket falling in quick succession
Crowd goes berserk in this commotion
While the nation bleeds in blue

Rage of this sport in the country
Surpasses the interest for its national game
For the boys in blue have tremendous respect
For they unite the nation in every aspect!

PS:The challenge was to write a poem on a color and the color should appear at least once in every stanza

Poem Sans Letter E

A trip, waiting for so long
Days will pass, nothing will go wrong
Good food, charming hosts and brilliant stay
Amidst folks I know, I will pass my days

Encounter with Nadal

She was startled by my sudden embrace
Her eyes, so green, gave a steady gaze
For my touch had left her in a daze
She flipped over, ready for the chase

She wasn’t certain of my intention
She looked for help, for intervention
As she looked at me with great attention
I could sense her coyness and her tension

I stretched my hand for her to sense
She smelled me, gave up her defense
As I caressed her warm and thick fur
She welcomed it with a gentle purr

For she is Nadal, the timid cat
Once she knows you, she is a tiny little brat!

Shayaris Once Again

रूपा के है आशिक़ हज़ार
सभ करते है उससे इतना प्यार
मिलने को बहाना ढूँढ़ते है बार बार
अटेंशन के लिए है सभ बेकरार
एक इशारे के लिए इंतज़ार कर रहे है एक दम तैयार

रात को चमकते है एक दम सही
दाग है पर बदसूरत नहीं

कोई भी तुम्हे नज़र न लगाए
कोशिश रहे न किसी तुम्हें अपना बनाए
तुम्हारी खूबसूरती हर तरफ छान जाए
रुकी अफसर में भी फिर से जान आये

Lone Dancer!

They ask me the same questions

I give them the same answer

They seek out my suggestions

I am the lone dancer!

Little did they know

That I have no clue

Instead they just throw

I don't know what to do!

I seek out for help

I don't see anyone out there

No one responds to my yelp

No one seems to care!

I earn their wrath

For no fault of mine

Unaware of the aftermath

For the prolonged whine!

Smoking Camel, Feeling Deserted

Sigh! A camel ride

Is exhausting, tiresome

When not in desert

A brand, a habit
He ended up kicking others'
As he did not kick the butt

PS: Haiku poems on Apache Camel

Shayaris Reloaded

आज तो नशा बेकरार है
दिल एक दम तैयार है
हे नशा सबसे बड़ा हत्यार है
इस नशे का नाम प्यार है

Ode to Patricia

What a wasted day
As weather exhibits the shades of grey!
Did the nature's wrath cause the foray?
For all the dirty games mankind did play!

Mastering Haiku

 
The intense rays of the Sun:
Sneaking through the dark shrouded clouds
Highlights optimism

The silence in the morning:
Killed by the chirpiness of the birds
Highlights enthusiasm

Sloppy Poem on SOAP

SOAP with envelope is like a terrifying dream
SOAP with glycerine is a good conditioning cream
SOAP with envelope gives me no hope
It makes me feel hopeless and like a dope
SOAP with glycerine gives me the shine
All these years it served me fine
SOAP with envelope gives me weird exception
SOAP with glycerine gives my skin, real affection
SOAP with envelope have various forms
SOAP with glycerine have pleasant foams
Both the SOAP needs to be handled with care
If not, the consequences will be difficult to bear

Slice of Life!

You run, you juggle, and you forget to live

Chasing umpteen dreams, wanting to believe

That happiness lies in fortune, the great fillip

Living life on the edge, giving health a skip

And as years add to your weary life

You question your meaningless strife

You realize, “I live as long as I breathe, 
Soon I shall be covered with wreath!

No memories, no moments, only painful glances

Of life’s purposeless acts and  wasted chances!”

Three Forms!

I live a life of water, colorless and odorless
With emotions solidified like the ice
To just melt when surrounded by close ones
The angst is me sometimes emanate like a hot steam
Eventually hurting people on the way!

I take in the dirt and the filth
I project your hazed reflections
But you can never judge my depth
Unless you step into my world and stay!

I create few ripples when stirred
To quickly settle to my calm composure
If you have me in your journey called life
I will surely rub off my presence in you!

Some Gyan!

Time is just an excuse
To become socially recluse
Time waits for none
When you realize, you are done
So find time to meet and mingle
Don’t wait till you wrinkle!

Its better to leave it open and not to deal
Of certain scars that never heal!

Words are best when they are not spoken
Promises are best when they are broken
Feelings are best when they are concealed
Truth is best when it is revealed!

शायरी

किसी से निग़ाहें मिलाना प्यार करने से अच्छा है
किसी को दूर से तारीफ करना पास आने से अच्छा है
प्यार के गम में रोने से बेहतर प्यार में मत पड़ना अच्छा है
प्यार है ऐसी चीज़ जिसकी नशा ज़िंदा मरवाने में अच्छा है

**************************************************

जितने भी खत तुम्हे लिखूं तुमसे जवाब मिलना अच्छा है
तुम तो चुप रहती हो समझा करो मेरा प्यार सच्चा है

 **************************************************

ज़िन्दगी ने कहा बदल ना जाओ
पर समय कहां सुनता
उसने ऐसे माहोल बनाया
बदलने के सिवाए और कुछ ना रहा


**************************************************

रात को नींद ना आये किसी और बिमारी से अच्छा है
पर इसकी वजह काम हो थो बिमारी ही अच्छा है

तालियां सुनने की आदत नहीं है मुझे
और ज़ोर से लगाओ जब फोकट में दे रही हो मुझे
