Happy on the first day, happy all through the year! Happy New Year!

Bells toll there announcing arrival of a new year

Reminding one more rotation of our blue marble

Around our star,  the grandeur Sun

reminding me, you all have aged by a year

still an occasion to celebrate , be happy

Why celebrate a new year? Wishing all happy one?

A shrewd question to ask for sure

celebrating happy ,being happy

On the first day with fond hopes of being happy

Happy on the first day, happy all  through the year !

Hope is eternal , new year hopes are still more so

Let the hopes continue wishing all a happy new year,

Happiness all  through the new year

Let the hopes materialize into real happiness

Yea happy new year! Have Happy days ahead!

Please jump not from Earth to sky in celebration

Remain grounded on Earth

Think of the under privileged seeking a living-

Whether  shine or rain. Do something for them

Making it prosperous to all !Happy New Year! Amen!

Hahaha! Laugh O laugh, this is cinema!

Hahaha! Laugh O laugh this is cinema!

A celluloid world where the evergreen hero

Dances with beauties younger than his daughters,grand children

Fights with tens, hundreds  more powerful men than him

Demolishes the citadels of the enemy kingdoms

Turns savior to the poor and needy
He is a he man, super man, spider man, all man, hmmm!

All in the celluloid film, hahaha!

He races, he flies, he runs

All in a jiffy faster than the fastest

The lyrics writers vy with their talents

To portray him on top of the world

A dashing conqueror, a  swashbuckling conjuror

His feats scaling the mount  Everest

His name is forever, his deeds hover over

All in the celluloid film, hahaha!

Cinema comes alive on the celluloid film

a shadow basking real and true

a bamboozling, hoodwinking mirage

fixing the love, ending conflicts,winning enemies

all in a matter of three hours of the film’s run

all so tough are so simple and easy in here

Ya, Cinema O cinema, laugh O laugh,Hahaha!

Age doesn't matter .... yet age does matter

Between he and she as lover, soul mates

Age doesn’t matter

He superfit despite aged more than 15 years than she

Ravishing , good looking, above all when she needs

Some one as protection at this stage of life

When younger ones not available to her

Or refuse to take her despite being young

Citing money, no beauty , ill health et al.,

Then age of he and she doesn’t matter

Age difference doesn’t matter , Period!

Long live those he and she well and good             

When she has choice of young ones,

She being beautiful, wealthy, healthy

All enough or just enough

Then age difference of  he and she matters

Age difference does matter there too

Let he be prudent and let a younger she

To go for a younger partner, to stay together for life

Is the logic and solution to the age question

Agreed? Let all such he and she keep in mind

To act according to the choice and need

Act on! best wishes, all he and she!

Journeys in a grand journey

Journeys are pure thrills, adventures

Pilgrimage seeking isolation, solitude excepted.

Journeys are to see new places, new faces,

new cultures, eat new local special food,

sleep, walk, run, drive, tour in the new world

Journeys are special days to remember

etched in memory, cached in brain

take pictures for sharing in the social media

with friends, the world, for posterity

Journeys are welcome break from monotony

Journeys are just for the sake of journeys too

to pass time, to bridge over the interregnum

Journey to near journey to yonder all to ponder

Journeys are to make the most of the time in joy

In the grand journey between life and death, enjoy!

Make the most of it , taste the whole of it

share, cherish,make them stand in the grand journey!

Backpack. Trek, motor away in great style

Journeys beckon , times to reckon- Journey ahead to

nature, country side, metropolis, what not, see you there!

Give me a place, give me that place

Give me a place where mad money and greed not in dominance

Give me a place where no activity to make petty money there

Give me a place where people wolf not watching my moves

Give me a place where no one spies and interferes all the time

Give me a place where there is freedom to do right things

Give me a place where I am not insulted if not respected

Give me a place where there is no humdrum of the world

Give me a place where crazy idiots don’t follow to kill the peace

Give me a place where I have the power to punish the spoilers

Give me a place of live in peace, not a graveyard to rest finally!

Have such place?  give me that place

Or just show me the place to go and be in

Forget not to leave me alone, when done

Thanks to you in advance ,stay blessed

Now I take leave of you to go searching!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

P.S: There is a background one needs to understand. People following a person like Paparasi to gather news. in that case no privacy for that individual. the privacy craving is fully justified in that case, the society and the govt. should ensure privacy in such cases

No one like her in the whole world

When I said to her no one like her the whole world

She laughed, there are many like me the world

Ok tell me you love me or not

Love me the most or not

You think of me often or not

You reside in my heart or not

I reside in your heart or not

She said that sweetest “Yes”

Then you are my best gal in the world

Best gal is the best love in the world

Best love is the only gal like no other gal in the world

For nilly willy critics this may not be best poem

Or the best lines in the world

For me these are best lines in the world

Just as she is best gal to me in the world

What say guys what say gals?

Always a lad, always a poet

Always a lad, always a poet

Always in love, always a lover

Time keeps flying past, yet love stands still

Love invigorating ever I never age no grill!

Love clouds up hovering, showering poetries  sweet

Love keeps me a lad, love keeps me a poet

Times have gone yet I stand forever in time

Thinking good, doing good

Health guarding habits, health guarding food

All keep me young I stand tall as a lad

My dear folks, hear my stories I share now

Feel them, realize as a holy cow

Seek health, seek youthfulness, stay blissed ever

Always a lad, always a poet

Always in love, always a lover

Signing off now, meet again later

Angel in my horizon

From beneath the dew, mist and hazy horizon sky

A bright dazzling light emerged

There she, my angel soaring over to peer at me

Heart warming my wintery night and day

Shining over me ,into me all the time

Angel with deep floating blue eyes

Overflowing Scarlet hair hanging over her shoulder

Curving over her sandaly back and neck

Drafts of air gently dispersing it beautifully

Like her own hair styler staying out of sight

Sun radiates and glows her skin

As her own beautician in full sight

Moon light bathes her cool

As her own cosmetician for the night

Angel exquisite, damsel excellent

Heart craves, yearns to make her my own

Yet she is someone’s angel

Have to take heart to just see her light

Let her remain perched  where she belongs

Wait for the light to shift to me one day, who knows?

-Mohan Sanjeevan

In the middle of the night on the net ....

In the middle of the night

When lot many nightly side of the world slept

Some keep vigil as guardians of the night

Addicted to the internet and social hella fellas

Making their own world, lost in that world

Chatting, messaging, reading, posting

Saying loving you, missing you, kissing you,

Smiling, hahaha laughing, crying,

noble ones doing charity, doing science

composing poetry, lyrics ,music,singing

Painting with adobe brush, dancing, watching sports-

The night is alive and kicking

The nighters engage the night, enjoying it

Some stay aloof having the night all to themselves

Keeping company with the angels, ghosts of the night

Signals flash through the wires, through the waves

Through the seas, through the space, through the land

Into the never sleeping net , onto the netizens wifis,

Androids, desk tops, laptops back and forth

East, west, south and north round the blue marble

Till the nightly side turn to Sun and light

Nighters keep going till bed calls straight!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

She has gone viral in the heart

Like the images, videos going viral on the net

Spreading like wild fire, doing the rounds

She made her sweet entry into my heart

The miracle started in right earnest

She has gone viral in the heart

Her image gone copying itself million, trillion times

Downloading into the miniscule cells

the cells proud to have it in them

an image so regal, royal with a stylish nod

standing upright with lithe and grace

Her desires or emotions never show up

whatever they are deep underneath

with slightest hint on the surface

She an unfathomable miracle woman

a beauty par excellence, a queen beyond compare

Her image in me is a standing testimony

to her sweetness, lovely pleasing traits,

our growing chord of friendship so nice

a slender and tender thread of love with spice

A viral so adorable , so lovable to cherish!

Heart beats with awe,  cells breathe with wonder

Bugged by her image, ridden by regaling yonder!

Boot Bungalow

A bungalow in the heart of the city

The house appears so distant from the front gate

Enormous space lies in between

With bushy thorns and shrubs from the front to the porch

A boot bungalow they call- spooky and scary

Looking from the distant front gate

Some one emerged  from the house

And came to stand in the porch

Woo hoo, a ghost!  Oh no! sanity

Rebuked it was daylight and it was some human     

What  the human doing there in the spooky place

Did he sleep in the night or stayed awake with the ghosts

Boot Bungalow is indeed a house of mysteries

One to unravel in the dead of night ,an unnerving

thought ,made one shiver  to cross away from there!

Haunted place’s memories will haunt getting to know- So the

the ghosts and the human are left to rule in the boot bungalow!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

Woo Woo, Boo Boo, spirits, spirits, go away!

Hey spirits stop there in your tracks!

A bonfire rages, smoke billows,  bells ring

Cuppa Cakes baked, shared

Masks and skeletons donned to trick you

To scare you away, stop in your tracks

Jack –O-lanterns lit ,yor visit back home is honoured

And your presence here remembered

But touch not my brethren hurt them not

A trick or treat rounds go on to pray for you

Trick or treat Spirits?  Trick not better treat!

Go home spirits, go another world

Your going away is the best treat to the world

Come another day, come next year

Where you will be honored encore

Time for angels,off you go now, run, fly, get lost!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

She bloomed a flower, ripened a fruit

Life lay a barren stretch of land

Colorless , dreary ,tasteless

Until she blossomed  a flower turning the stretch 
green, a grove to see, an orchard to feast

She bloomed a flower, ripened a fruit

Her  lips glossy ,glisten classy

Parting wide as petals rosy

Pulling me a bee to drink her honey

Her twin appled hillocks driving crazy

Twin Cherries topping the hillocks sazzy

A flagrant flower in the making

A passion fruit all over in the offing

Take in the aroma drink in the honey

Toast the Cherry topped apples yummy

Desires filling, hungers quenching I remain

Life turned colorful ,verdant green

Music floats over the stretch

Sombre moods lifting to soaring spirits

Flower’s magic , fruit’s damn kick!

Flower and fruit a real treat to pick!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

Cup and Cup, Lip and Lip!

Her golden hand’s sandal fingers

And my Iron hand’s macho fingers

Lift the cup to clink, say cheers

No wine, just the helluva tasty tea steams in the cup

Inebriating, intoxicating more than the intoxicants

Steam stirs ,tendrils of vapor waft out

emotions stir  to put the cups away

to lift my lip to her lip to plant the kiss

cup and cup before,  lip and lip after

tangy ,yummy coup d’ etat after the sip!

Hands explore on a pleasure trip

fiery passion tosses up the whip

splashing the dear souls to sky afloat

slicing the love fruit into servings cool and hot

munching down the love tasting the love

Tea times are to stay , holding the minds in sway

Tea brews up in the pot, love brews in the cup on the spot

Churning the moods, buoying up the sprit

Cheers foam ,effervesce, float up in the cup

Tea times are cheers times for the lip, take the dip!

Cups meet up, lips shoot up , gleefully eat up

Cup and cup , lip and lip

Story stays on moves on

Cupped tea, lipped cheers

Tipped minds, Gifted times!

Jolly Dog!

Visiting new places is always jolly, fun

Especially so when made with intention to just visit

Here was something so special and pleasant

When visiting a house at the new place-

A jolly dog!

A short white and brown bushy haired marvel

Befriended me as I sat  on the first visit

Jumping upto me with it’s tiny two feet

Hanging in mid air, climbing onto  my thighs

Licking, scenting me to remember me anytime

A jolly dog more an intelligent child than a dog

seeing his pet people with something in hand

he barks a lovely ‘vav’ vav’ sensing it is something to eat

jumping with two feet hanging in mid air

saying ‘hey I want that thing in your hand, give me that!’

When I took the camera to capture it

It looked promptly up at the camera in hand

With watchful eyes not afraid or shy

Showing  it is camera savvy not camera shy

A fun, favorite play, pastime for all in the house

All turn child and playful

Infected by it’s playfulness

Enjoying the times with it forgetting

all the tense and worrying moments

Spent in the day and life

The way it licks, scents. runs, sits, sleeps, barks

vav vav are all a joy and delight to watch, cherish

Sure one intelligent petty dog

Making things light and easy

A jolly dog is a jolly dog no compare

When I leave for home, I take home

 the memories of this wonderful jolly dog

capturing it in the camera for one last time

to see, relish the memories of being with it

Thank you Jolly dog will remember you for a long time!

Music partys with lyrics!

Music partys with lyrics

It’s tempest , atoms smash!

Honey drizzling Jazz

Mind rocking pop

Swashbuckling trumpet

Golden nuggeted words

Molten banded songs

Music rides on lyrics

Lyrics dances on the music

A party, grand party!

Music loves lyrics

Lyrics weds music

Rush, yes, rush

Music kisses lyrics

Lyrics kisses music, hey!

Music and lyrics go hand in hand

Walk in sound and rhythm

Run berserk run amuck

Glee,free, on a music-lyricsed spree!

Hi music, hi lyrics , riba raba rab!

-Mohan Sanjeevan

Always love nothing but love!

It seems the height of stupidity

The one track mind’s obsession with love

Yearning to fall in love, be in love,

Always in love nothing but love!

Enjoying love , writing odes of love with oodles of love

Flustered, the mind seeks to divert

Saying spirituality, divinity, religion

Human welfare, nature’s beauty

the shameless mind latches on to love

falls back to love,  back to craze

Love rules the mind, love rules the world

Exceptions rare, compulsions more

What is life without love is mind’s question

Yes life is sweet with love, flush with potion

To deny it there no season, no reason

Love is blind, mind is blind, overpowering grind

Love is mad, mind is mad not budging a tad

Love is part of life ,the full life, whole life

Accept the mind, accept the love

Best is love all, others fall next to love!
