Monday Morning Blues!

may day may day

it is already evening of sunday

tonnes of sleep and a movie thrown in

life never seemed to be so happening

and now as i stare through the night

monday morning is almost here to bite

sweat and exasperation hits me hard

can already see the sleepy monday start

Tooth Fairy!

once upon a time

very close to the current time line

was a beautiful lovely fairy

with a rather remarkable story

she was loved through the land

as she went about her daily errand

all were happy and gay

as approached her marriage day

all was well as well as it could be

but there was one problem for none to see

in all the fun and jovial bubble 

the lovely fairy ignored her tooth trouble

in pain she did wince once in a while

but thought of a dentist had her mouth filled with bile

the day dawned and she was all dressed

prettiest maiden of all and amply blessed

and it was time to take the vows

a wrong time to be hit with dental woes

all had mouths opened in gape

to the dentist groom rushed her to take

so this was the tale of a beautiful fairy

on her wedding day who had to heed to her dental worry

Lonely in a Crowd

and you all chatter away

away from me in a harmonious sway

as i try to be a part of you

your dispossession doesnt let me through

i say let it be

you all just cant see

me carrying an intensity within

afraid you are of its toss and spin

Confessions of a drunk poet

just to prove u wrong

when drunk i can still rhyme a song

tequila may burn my throat

but it is rhyme in my blood that floats

my eyes may droop in bliss

in woes i can still find my bliss

you may not like the taste of beer

trust me when drunk it is not that queer

red wine over good food is awesome

ah crap am drunk wholesome

Key is the Key

tumbling down the rabbit hole

wish like alice i knew the right keyhole

but then again what is the point

when it is the key which its holder it anoints

Beggar at the Signal

i beg at the signal

surviving on meals frugal

you stop your car

ignoring my gaze you look afar

your heart melts at my penury

your head filled with a sceptical jury

you think i will just con

that i have a gang and i am not alone

you save your rupee but your heart does scream

i really haven't eaten but then the signal turns green

Thoughts

why do thoughts have to be pure

when all things around you are sore

deceive i do not myself

i accept all ideas neatly on my mind's shelf

True Knowledge

drilling on and on

all rot with curiosity gone

shaping careers on an illegal turf

expecting tsunami and guys to surf?

abolish this tapestry of fraud

knowledge is the complex world made by our lord

As the end nears...

time flies

snapping all visible ties

in a second it is over

like an alcoholic feeling he is sober

with those invisible threads

leaving your soul in pain and shreds

Dreams in Eyes

sleep in my eyes

where dreams refuse to die

tired eyelids droop a bit

with myriad dreams they are lit

I just have to walk

i am here to not prove anything

not to be cautious or to fling

it is a road that i must walk

to which my eyes lock

School Kid

kid with a school bag

thinking studies to be a drag

but he still goes on the stroll

in the break to play football

friends and all the fun

copying in the test and no homework done

A lost soul...

sleep in eyes

breathing long sighs

resigned to fate

a species specific trait

mind in tempest

like a simulated conquest

surviving on basic tricks

a life in a matrix

Dance Baby Dance!

one step forward and one step back

matching the moves with the music track

one to the right and one to the left

dancing with a stranger with love bereft

Dabbling Ducks

continuously quacking duck

wading and passing the watery buck

a fish came close

from slumber did grandpa duck arose

with a ferocious slam dunk

like a quick steal from a roadside punk

huge fish up he threw

for his grand kids to chew
