Men Don't Cry

Misery of pain
Egomania prohibits teary rain.
Nihilism of feelings of shame.

Odious phrases like "Be a man"
Feelings are for the weak, or Cry and leave the clan!

Marred by "Don't be a pussy/bitch"
Alarmed by "don't throw like a girl".
Resuscitate the masculinity by bottling up emotions.
Shunning the feminine side and all its inhibitions?

Flirting with pride.
Erroneous judgements of situations and universe's stride.
Expending ruminations like "Boys don't cry."
Liberating is a sin," What if the world comes to know, they will laugh at me"

Never letting go of narcissism and omnipotence.
Orchestrating powerful gestures by singing tales of holding tears ,symbolic pertinence.

Pleading to God
Altering humanity, a bit odd.
Intimidating inferiors by this facade of manhood? a feeble rise?
Nurturing and embracing emotions is, always always wise.

The circle of time

Diwali , the festival of lights is nearer.
You look in the mirror.
The Oracle in you sees smiles and fancy clothes.
The kid in you is feasting on sweets, and crackers appose.


As you reminisce the childhood,
And look myopically to the niceties and brotherhood.
You hear the loud fireworks,
And shrieks of the neighbouring dogs and silenced barks.


There is a knock on your window.
The Zeppelin waits for you, your presence to bestow.
It takes you back to 1973.
Air is clearer ,your kin, more than 3.


Joy is limitless and ubiquitous.
Especially , heavenly delicacies , humungous.
Each one welcomes the wealthy goddess to shower blessings
While getting along with the loved ones and offsprings.


After the short trip, the Zeppelin zaps
Future ,2035, it is and you see your worldly haps.
Your daughter is getting ready
But all of them are wearing a mask, now steady!


The air is inhabitant.
The pets are extinct and scant.
The clouds are too low.
Water is scarce, and magnanimous famine to follow?


The festival of lights has lost all its pulchritude.
For the lights now are rude.
Thinking is it ever going to change?
We keep on fouling our trapped cage.

The Unsung Heroes

Anitcipating commodities,
Negotiating wesbites .
Geolocating wings.
Ephemeral real receptionists.
Let us make them feel special
Somewhere just now,happiness is on trial.

Obliterating nuances,
Nihilism of efforts of a faulty product.

Enlisting stars.
Arduous ignorance.
Rude but fastidious door closures.
Telecasting and broadcasting reception
Horrendous avoidance of confrontation of offering a glass of water.

Why Me vs Why Now


Whether you are a prodigal son or a princess.
Overcoming failure is a mundane necessity.
Recanting on spoken poetry is denied.
Decentralising knowledge in vogue.
Sharing optimistic ideas

Why is the most defining question
I is the most harmful word in the dictionary.
Looking from the stranger's eyes.
Listening from his ears.

Earning trusts is not a mountain
Cheerful hill, if you appreciate others.
Haunted houses, if you argue and whine.
Oxymoron for honest criminals.

Enumerating and enunciating names.
Treachery of remembering too much.
Enthusiastically being lavish in praise.
Rationally balance emotions and actions.
Nuances changes a no to yes and vice versa.
Advocating exclusivity is the greatest advantage.
Love overrules hatred and not hatred.
Losing might become winning.
Yielding is the attitude to life.

Fortune Favours the Brave

Silhouettes of a lonely island.
Trance in the chilly caves and hill tops.
Restricted and petulant, Rapunzel.
Extradited by a selfish governess.
Neglecting the sighs of King and Queen.
Glowing into the night, her hair.
Tantalizing nobody, but air.
Harnessing the beauty on her pate.

Orchestrating an escapade by serendipity.
From woods, emerged a Prince.

Hallucinating or Reality.
Ardent lad enthralled in pulchritude.
Invigorated by the golden shine.
Rapunzel let her savior up,ironically.

Androgyny was at bay.
Nomad, in the house.
Dictator was outdone

Loquacious frog rejoiced.
Omnipotent infatuation coronated.
Vivified by veracious vicissitudes of fate
Eternal happiness.

The Devil and the Huntsman

Knitting into a steel armor
Naissant in blood.
Inspired by the legend of the sword.
Geographically divided heirs from mud.
Heuristic rebellious approach.
Tyranny , under threat of the inevitable thud.

Odious ubiquitous mountains.
Forest land and fantastic beasts and flood.

Destined to rule the world.
Arranged armies for the solo brawl.
Yielding sacrifice, the King came from nothing.
