(January 2, 2017) Author notes Pained by young girls waiting on shady sections of highways for customers. Sitting on the edge of the bed On a very chilly morning Many men over the night fed The young woman was groaning. Pain it was From all the boning and fake moaning More in her heart that her body. Astute she was But the bloody poverty Turned her into a prostitute Using her body as property Discarded…
Ants
Inspired by my friend Ajit’s post on FB of a video of ants walking. New year morning walk, a day so fine I see ants walking in a line Happy New year I say All of seem to nod in unison As if saying “Greetings of the season” Found later that it is not the reason To them it is just another circle around the sun They go about doing the work with fun Then…

Digital emotions
(December 24, 2016) In the digital world Of post, pictures, movies In the world of ones and zeroes An icy cold world What are emotions?

Year end
The winter chill, marks the end of year The tree naked, a beautiful silhouette The festive season, brings lot of cheer The purple flowers in a delicate pirouette
Singularity
Eight hundred kilometres of cycling non stop Feeling right on top Hamstring supple and energetic Fully (re)charged up, the pace frenetic The wheels a blur, the legs in clear unison Two while lines the highway, reflected of the swath Really a small puddle of light Bright enough not to befuddle The world all black except a little circle of light On a brilliant and silent night A sea of calm In a world of fright…
Blessed
Legs pounding on the road Music thumping in the ears Gait in harmony with the beat The wintry chill just right The lazy sun extinguishing the night The fog evaporating to a golden glow The radiance seeps into me Warming me gently Filling me with love Uneven terrain makes me dance Chaotic traffic makes me prance Nothing bothers me, am in a state of trance For as long as I run Under the warm winter…
The clock
The clock Round I may be, but I really go aroundThree needles on my faceKeep me active and running At a steady pace, never a tired face One half in light, the other at nightEasy to sight, need to be always right Tick tock tick tock, periodically DING DONG DING DONG, sporadically Small enough to cause an alarmLoud enough to wake up townBut I mean no harm Though in response people frown Even when wound…
