Come ye all sweet forties

 








Come ye all sweet forties,

Like the Asp that killed black beauty,

Like the make-up artist of Titanic Rose,

Like the artists who love to paint wrinkles,

Come ye all sweet forties.

 

To ridicule me,  

For young maidens to beckon as aunty,

For cloth store salesmen to say it’s not of my age,

For beauty products to queue up one after the other,

Come ye all forties.

 

Come, for if I say no, thou shalt not retreat thy path,

Come ye battalion of diseases,

Come ye dark circles and sleeplessness,

Add on to the pain of hot flushes and irregularity,

Come ye all forties.

 

Come all ye forties,

For my best friend shall be the night mirror,

For she like a loyal dog hides all my physical flaws,

Shows me all but young beauty, I care not,

Come all ye forties.

 

Nay I fear not,

Like the stars of tinsel town,

I shalt never cross 39,

I shalt forever be young like them,

Come ye forties for I fear not.

 

Come ye forties,

For they say life begins in forties,

Let me bask in my success,

Two children and only one husband,

Yeah! Big success to cherish!

 

Come ye forties,

I fear not, I know you well,

For my kith and kin have kissed you before,

You don’t scare me anymore,

For I know you are just a number,

My life will go on!

Where are you?

Are you the only resort? Why does it happen? Where did you go? When troubles tortured me? When I cried out of pain? Where were you? Why should I seek you? Why? When like a butterfly Bubbling with joy of colours Flying spreading my joy You admired me Even gave me some colours A bright smile Like the sun shine Where are you now? When like a dew drop Shining with the utmost pleasure On a little blade of grass A small corner of mine Disseminating a smile On every face that came across Delight of mine own Where are you now? When like the white waves Sparkling bubbles Snow white with azure blue Touching every one who come near Delightful bliss all around You played with me Full of joy Where are you now? When like a nymph Sitting on a little purple flower My fragrance along with yours Gracing on beautiful nature Ever green beauteous Thou enjoy with me Pleasurable memories Where are you now? When like the little drop of rain I touched everyone Played around with all Ambrosia for many of them A

Her Dance

Image
Young moon shining cool and bright, Hypnos singing lullaby with his harp, Form of my partner’s loud snores, Chill breeze from my air conditioner, And my soft feather bed, Thus, are my comfort to slumber.   As I rest and dream, Like a princess with glass shoes, And beautiful gowns, There she stands like a beast, As a hassle uninvited, But prompt.   Nay! not a smothering snake or a ghoul, It’s mine own, Without which a women’s beauty is lost, Like wine, ages with time, Long or short, brown or black, rough or smooth, Always a thing of pride, for a woman.   My mane, when all sleeps blissfully with me, One bunch stands, And dances its heart out to my fan’s tunes, Though her stage is always fixed, She lands on my temple or nose, Tickles me to watch her dance. My relentless attempts to stop her, Always a failure and poof! vanishes my sleep, And along with it my glass shoes and gowns, Alas! Wish I could stop her!

  Merciless World Delicious and flavourful Biriyanis, Chinese noodles to Italian pizzas, South Indian vada to meals, Malabar pulav to north Indian Panner Labadar, Sweet jeelabi or mouth-watering gulab jamuns, Tall ice creams in glasses or cool milk shakes.   I have it all, All flavours and flagrances, To tease my gastronomic indulgence, And check my level of patience.   Like Indian rishis, I resist temptation, Day in and day out, it’s the same, I sigh and smell the aroma before I hand it.   My imagination runs wild, How would they enjoy it! May be uncover delicately, like virgin’s clothes, Who unfurls all the world’s pleasure, In just a bowl or two.   Like a betrayed lover, Sighing over the culmination of his beloved, I long and part with all that I have, Day in and day out, Not minding my rumbling stomach, Mercilessly pick it away, not even a morsel to offer me, They call me the FOOD DELIVERY MAN .
