Time Out

At times I wonder,
How easily we surrender
To demands, the life
puts upon us.

No time for family, nor a hello for friends
but grasping for every breather
the weary life lends

Not a moment to smell flowers
no way it is going to win me stars
the birds may chirp,for all I care
 All I know, I should be headed somewhere

 I have lost some friends,
But then,so have they
when did we all laugh together?
It cant be yesterday!

Life runs fast
I need to catch up,my friend
You may still wake up to the smell of coffee
I have mails to send

A Poem Arrives...

She is like a poem
Words brimming over
Threatening to spill,
But lips muted
Soundless!
A song trying hard 
To keep up with the music.

She is a poem
Scribbled in haste…
Words running ahead of thoughts
Stumbling, faltering
But arriving, at last

A Golden Prelude

A Golden prelude,
To the beauty of the night
My twilight lights up.

Several stars later,
Arrives, the glory of dawn,
Skies awash with gold!

Come languid afternoons,
Butterflies go chasing
My nomadic thoughts.

A lull,so placid
Tranquil waters whispering
 Soothing lullabies..

Chocolate Ecstasy...


A chocolate held in his hand,
waiting
to be unwrapped.But,
he only eyed  the
one smeared around her
parted lips.

spellbound, he watched
as  she delictaely darted  out
her tongue

 His eyes followed the trail

slowly he undressed
his chocolate
eyes,still following
her cue
the heat in his eyes
so intense
that obscured his view
A gentle bite
and  his own tongue
wrapped around  the bit
sucking in the sweetness
his ecstasy knew no bounds

Tequila Sunset


When minds feast on beautiful thoughts,
Summer wine flows in our talks;
When eyes speak what the words have left,
Then you and I must settle down to tequila sunset.
When the evening drapes the black velvet cloak
 And preens itself at its sequined glow.
When the shooting star aims its bounty at us,
Then you and I must ask for a blessed togetherness.
And then, in the soft glow of night light,
The sleepy eyes wish for dreams, rosy and blithe.
When dreams lull us into a peaceful retreat,

Then the promise of a new dawn must we meet.

The Line of Her Spine...

Yes,she wants to reach the stars
without having to climb on his shoulder
She would like to run free
Rush past the restraining boulders
An untamed river!
Do not be the damned dam,
and bind her rhythm.

Get inside the mind of a woman,
when you are done scanning her anatomy...
The soul,I insist,is a part of her being too.

Acquaint yourself with her grit
Make love to her spirit

Find her in my verse
Find her in the universe
Find her in every man's soul
Find her in me
Find her in you!

Fall in love,
with  the Sun in her smile,
Fire in her eyes,
Spring in her stride,and
The line of her spine!

Forty Winks

Langor takes over
beating all my resolves
The To-Do list lies waiting
slumber does a little baiting
dreams beckon,enticing me
close the  eyes,get care free

Duties demand immediate attention
 cant get far with  useless   evasion
So I gather my wits
and get on with my day
but..how to keep sleep at bay

lids heavy,  bid me to succumb
mind at snooze, leaves me numb
Wake me up
shake me up
    Hide that bed
  or burn the mattress!
   
 the dreaded  deadlines summon
 I  try to work between the blinks
Ah!  better still, the work can wait
let me catch forty winks
