Tea Cup


Supple fingers gently grip me

lifted... your curled lips I see

satiating whiff of fragrant herb

relished with a slurp

enjoyed my dearie to the last drop

drunk in ambrosia 

evanescent amor severed

you heartlessly crushed 

savoured my stash

and sent me to trash.

Iron Woman

 

She is naïve

Spontaneously sweet

Even if you rave

Rarely would she tweet.

Loaded with love and care

twitched face is a rare

Summit of patience

Miffed, will spring with resilience.

A worthy confidant

Manages every truant

When dumped she renounces

Insulted she bounces.

But her fate always swings

From father to husband to son or kins

With clipped wings.

raped, slaughtered, Harassed

Sans love in obligation trapped

Killed bodily, choked tenderly

Abused emotionally, tormented lovingly

And SILENCED …daily.

Every woman has grit of iron,

Grace to silently be a doyen.

Digital World



Wired world, wifi nations
Neglected ploughs, flourishing space stations

Starving Sam, jobless Rahim
Elevated bridges, trampled dream

No mourner’s in funeral procession
Recorded dirges blare at life’s cessation

Mentoring websites, virtual classes
Fastrack Highways, carnal touches

AI on high esteem
Alas human emotions scream

Omnipresent is the Digital
Conveniently forgotten Individual

Sadly! Our villages are whining
Nevertheless, digital world is shining.

Life's Turns

In no time does life turn
a day
a minute
a second
the mind changes, boggles
realizes
understands
adapts
the world changes, marvels
sustains
develops
transforms
characters change, decisions change, people change
ranting and raving
rain and shine
shocks and surprises.

Life lives through changes
mutation or metamorphosis

Hibernate! to grow stale
However, every turn tells a tale.

Tomb Trap


TOMB TRAP

Home trapped, Feel alive,
Lock, entomb, to thrive,
Confine, Stay indoor
Anxious nature did unheedingly roar,
God’s wrath slithered germ spread,
Society distanced hitherto kins yoked.

‘Where?’ Crow curiously cawed,
‘Deserted!’ morbid Mongrel moaned,
‘Normal?’ Squirrels scampered to know,
‘Did bipeds hide in a fitful fiery row’?
‘Listen’ twittered frisky Sparrow,
‘We may not be heard tomorrow’.

Screaming their deed aloud,
Homo sapiens will shortly crowd,
Pilfering to hoard, Polluting the road,
Whilst the wild remains civilized
Anon Humanoids sojourn paralyzed.

For now, grievous quarantined Solitude
Silenced streets crack at sirens blare
Sans mercy the shrouds and conches prepare
Dusky days dark dyes scare
Our own making this deadly snare.

Coronation

Coronation Redefined

Nation affected by Corona
Nation crowned with Corona

Satanic Corona


SATANIC CORONA

Royally flying trans-nation
Sans borders mission damnation

You stay in home quarantine
Else be my loving valentine.
