How dare he!

Garbage rots
In my backyard
Who cares?
It’s my privilege

My neighbour’s backyard
Full of dry leaves
An ugly sight
How dare he!

I frown and curse
Dirty, lazy, and what not
Such a nuisance
Dry leaves in his backyard

I blog about him
To vent my anger
To make him unpopular
Still, my backyard stinks

Dreams

Lift me to the sky
Drop me without warning
Chase me like a mad dog
Haunt me like a ghost

Caress me like a mother
Elate me to rapture
Gift me mansions and money
Carry me to wonderlands

What’s life?
Without dreams
Meaningful or pointless
Colourful or tasteless

A dreamless life
Boring and bland
Welcome the dreams
Enjoy the grandeur and terror

Existence

A mild breeze is all it needs
To sway me
Spineless, you may call me
Helpless, I am

How I wish to stand straight
All the time, without stooping
I envy my brothers
Albeit creepers, they are

If I rebel, I am broke
It’s wise to dance
To the tunes of the times
Existence, only matters

Raise my head in dignity
Hold it out during storms
Be upright and righteous
I exist no more

Seminar

I never listen to seminars!
I attend seminars, though
Collect the papers and stationery
Sit and doodle

Well, not exactly
I scribble furiously
Fellow audience looks at me
What’s there to take note?

I fool them
I never took notes
A pastime
To stop falling asleep

Two alphabets
Write all the words
Starting with the first one
Ending with the second

Seminar ends
Enjoy the free food
Go back
Report on an excellent seminar!

Here I am

I am a dumb onlooker
Or reader, should I say?
Sweet, serene words smiled at me
Sad, thoughtful words reflected pain
They laughed at me, for I was mute
Not a single word came for my rescue.

Pondering over the words
I realized they will not come to me
They are too proud
So I went after them
I smiled, begged, cajoled
And they came to me.
So here I am…
