A Rose is a Rose.. is a Rose..

She sat there in the lonely park chair,
I just couldn’t avoid looking at her,
So very pretty, playing with her hair,
As if in turmoil, as if now, in one stir,

Her cell phone ringing, loud enough,
She wouldn’t pick, but just stare at,
Should I mind my own personal stuff,
I did hear her sobs, from where I sat,

It was very disturbing and unbearable,
Should I walk up to her now, or sit here,
Did something happen, just so terrible,
What if she bursts out then, which I fear,

A neat red skirt and the top, so bright,
Expensive handbag and a gold watch,
That glistened in that starry dark night,
She might kick, me loaded on scotch,

Her pale lips wouldn’t let a word slip,
The phone still rings, she won’t pick,
Smoke almost nearing that filter tip,
Drop it lady, do it now, be very quick,

The blood ridden, dark red fingernails,
The pink cheek, that turned even red,
Her appearance, did give me details,
Did you guess it, from what was said?

I still don’t have the courage to talk,
Of course, am an alien here, for a perk,
I can’t even ask her out, for one walk,
I didn’t want her to think of me, a jerk,

The bible next to her, flipped the pages,
That surprised me, as I continued staring,
One book that survived all the dark ages,
Others looked at, what she was wearing,

He came over and slapped her too hard,
Twisted both her hands, she screamed,
I looked around, tried to find one guard,
I didn’t expect it, I hadn’t even dreamed,

She was now crying aloud, in despair,
Everyone watched them, not moving,
As if they were aware of such an affair,
Whatever this cruel big beast was doing,

The struggle and fight lasted sometime,
Things falling from her bag, well strewn,
Lip sticks, eye liners, pins and few dime,
Brightly shown on that good full moon,

A cop came in now, dragged him along,
She was pleading to leave him, and crying,
She was acting strange, what was wrong ?
The cop left the place, warning.., sighing,

She lifted him over, all blood on his nose,
She wiped all that, hugged him, to hold,
Can you alter the sweet nature of a rose?
Women are women, all from one mould!

I just sat there, wondering if it was worth,
Why would women be warm, I’ve no clue,
Was it programmed in them from the birth,
Only they can answer, to convince me and you.

I hate this HIKE !

Every year this comes and goes,
Whether you support or oppose,
Some complain that it is so bad,
This drives everyone really mad,

This is a regular topic all in April,
Some in harmony, but most yell,
They say, it’s just nothing to take,
No mercy for us, for Christ’s sake,

The walk and talk is about a rise,
People curse loud up to the skies,
Some blame god, some, so quiet,
So think about balancing the diet,

But, the media blows it so much,
They lose it, that common touch,
April, this is the talk of the town,
He feels like being one big clown,

Is it just me or everyone feels so,
It’s at times high, or just very low,
It really does decide all weddings,
It even decides, all your beddings,

Once it’s announced, you’re crazy,
You decide why work, I’ll act lazy,
You think then, is it really just me,
Or is this with all, in Bangalore city,

Is it okay to ask her, how she felt,
He hissed to kick, below the belt,
Oops, now that’s so wild, I get it,
I won’t go now, he says, I will quit,

I tried hard to explain him, well,
He said he feels like being in hell,
I said, it happens, Dude, for us all,
He felt so sick in his intestine wall,

Well, that’s what he said, for real,
I told him stop being just, unreal,
But, you’ll forget it over the time,
It’s all easy to say using this rhyme,

Huh ? There is some confusion here,
Well, let me make it just very clear,
I was lamenting all this while only on,
The SUMMER that has come upon,

Even his girl friend says stay away,
Let’s see if events vary, after May,
Felt so bad for him, I really mean it,
I promised to quote this, in NameIT!

Steep fall and hike in mercury scale,
Was all I was addressing, in my tale,
I don’t think I was hinting anything,
I am praying for good, for a SPRING!

Isn’t it APRIL, when summer begins,
It sweats for, even the Gemini twins,
I did not talk about anything so blue,
I gave no clue, between me and you !

In Times of Failure....

The one time you start chasing your dream,
Self-respect which you consider supreme,
You realize it is hard to live the right way,
Fight for what is right and good, everyday,

Truth, what the ones above you, fails to see,
Struggle to keep calm to a tolerable degree,
But, being weak you really tend to burst out,
With practically very less knowledge about,

What is reality and what will keep you long,
It is not just a big poem, some inspiring song,
You’ve to swim your way through the gutter,
To earn for yourself, some bread and butter,

Is it so hard, my dear friend, to be honest,
This is just another painful, a stressful test,
But, you cannot live it, the way they want,
Even if fear surrounds, don’t let them haunt,

Tell yourself, all is well; all is just too well,
Keep your head above, in heaven or in hell,
Don’t let yourself down today, deep inside,
Even if you were disregarded or cast aside,

You are what you are, and you are that one,
Never ever give up, in your miles’ long run,
The only thing should you ever get to chase,
No one will help; you have to run your race,

This is not one relay race to pass the baton,
It is your HOPE you are holding, so hop on,
Grip that harder, every single step you take,
Don’t loosen it or let it go, even by mistake,

Do not change your own self, for anything,
Future, your opponent, in that wrestling ring,
Audience all around you, wooing and booing,
There is just one chance, there is no redoing,

Live your life right, this very moment today,
Because this is your very own game, go play,
When you have run all those miles, look back,
Everything that’s history, leaves a bad track,

Past is one vanishing step, you leave behind,
Choose every step ahead , that you can find,
Be the right one, you need not repent later,
Don’t sit and cry, for being your own traitor,

Everything I told you, is just for me my dear ?
Pass it on to everyone who are far and near,
Why am I saying this ? I know you’ve no clue,
I wish, I were smarter, between me and you,

Me..

What will I tell you,
When I don’t have a clue,
But, I can try that out,
Leave no place for doubt,

The darker side is me,
Its so not difficult to be,
Still balancing the sanity,
With abundance vanity,

There is one road I know,
To none I really bow,
Another egoistic leo here,
Closed spaces I do fear,

But, there is one thing,
Flowers, smile I can bring,
Loser in first impression,
Not all here, my confession,

Can make your head spin,
Betrayal, to me, a big sin,
Well, I sure must tell you,
You will like me, my love,
just between me and you.

Good Morning., Bangalore

Hello all, a very good morning,
Am sitting here, quietly yawning,
I can see you, agreeing on that,
Even if I say now, the world’s flat,

Welcome this week, with all smiles,
Start arranging your desktop files,
Time to get busy, do some work,
Give no time, for even one smirk,

I know it’s hard, these Mondays,
But no one wants, if it’s all Sundays,
Change is permanent, my dear,
Work is god, so just don’t fear,

They say this one line, just clear,
Every challenge, far and near,
Is some opportunity in disguise,
So do smart work, be really nice,

Just trying to keep your spirits up,
Grab CCDs black coffee, in one cup,
Every day has to be one big mystery,
There is no point, talking of history,

What is said and done, is all done,
What you can do is, just have fun,
Laugh over all your blunders now,
Do it your way, just don’t ask how,

Every day that you see, is a mystery,
No one cares after 12th , about history,
Just doesn’t matter, if Emperor wins,
In no way, does it really wash our sins,

Don’t manifest your darkest fears,
Forget them over a couple of beers,
This is a world of winners and sinners,
Just go and have dates and dinners,

Be positive, stay calm and do your job,
Don’t be revolting and be another mob,
More things get done, out of silence,
Nothing is ever achieved with violence,

That doesn’t mean you practice lies,
I never said you should always be nice,
Play a game, when you know the rules,
This they don’t teach, in our schools,

You got to be smart, to go to the top,
Never, ever give up, never ever stop,
Patience, trust me, is truly is a virtue,
Again, I end this as, between me and you !

In response to a LOST Love !

I have said this earlier, but will repeat,
Do you have time then, take your seat,
There is no such thing as one lost love,
She missed you so much, ask her how,

He has lost a love, and it was very dear,
she stays here in his city, just very near,
He saw her son today, he felt just glad,
Here I am, all love letters on a notepad,

IF YOU REALLY DID LOVE HER, AT ALL,
You have to stand up, and just not fall,
Show her you can smile, in front of her,
Tell her,
"She made you stronger, than you were! "
