Cotton days are here

Air is getting perceptibly hotter

Announcing the arrival of a scorching summer

I get into cotton shirts to ward off the heat

I like the look , the feel, it is airy, comfy ,cool, cool!

Yea the cotton days are here

Cotton is no longer a poor man’s dress

The dwindling crops and yields ensure it’s precious

Fetching high premium over synthetic blends

Cotton is a class by itself

Attaining a royal status these days

Me in cotton is no fancy

No heartthrob so dancy

Yet flowery colorful damsels

Are sure heart throbs, eye candies

Lending more color to the colors of cotton

Cotton, cotton is the flavor of the summer days

Till such time the air gets cooler to chillier

the cotton rules more merrier

Welcome Cotton most welcome

Adorn me, adorn us, adorn all, cheers!

She is my princess me not fallen in love with ....

I call her Princess

Her charm, grace, style are simply royal

A Richie rich gal for real

Yet she is my princess me not fallen in love with

For she is someone’s angel

She lives in a castle me in a hut in comparison

I chose not to love to let her enjoy a perfect companion

No need of love to call someone a real princess a princess

To top all the camaraderie she calls me back prince

Making me heady and proud soaring to the skies!

I wish her all comfort  and joy in her life

Wishing perfect harmony with her companion

Wishing more royal and regal state in life

Wishing with all the love of a friend

Wishing she ever be a princess

I shall ever be her prince cherishing the princedom!

Differences in status, ;living styles no problem

They lend in effect an invincible charm

To the friendship of glory we have for life

She is my princess Im her prince forever!

Im no Rajini, Im no Kamal, Im no Arnold Schweznegger, Im no Tom Cruise

Im no Rajini, Im no Kamal

Im no Arnold Schweznegger, Im no Tom Cruise

Im no Amitabh Bachan, Im no Shah Rukh Khan

Yet Im a simpleton, breathing Science, Eating Science

Living Science , living by Science

I emote for her, for my love

I emote for the people , for the nature,

For the space, for the Science

Pouring my emotions into few lines of poetry

Yes Im that simple yet that grand

Simple as im down to Earth

Grand as the Science,Poetry et al

The things I take interest, live are that Grand

Which catapult me to the grandness

Yea that simple, yet that grand!

Im simple yet have the Avarice

To do bigger in Science, compose great lyrics

Serve the people, serve the world through Science

Enthrall the people, the world through my lyrics

Aiming to fly high yet firm on the ground

Times change times will change for me too

I keep working, keeping the fire burning

to realize my Avarice, the just greed

in service for Science, Poetry, the people, the world

Still I will be what Im today simple, yet that grand

Setting up observatory on the moon

Want to set up observatory on moon

To see the stars, galaxies, universe in clarity

Free from atmospheric disturbances

Challenges ly in store

Harsh extremes of temperatures of 14 day ‘day’ 14 day ‘night

The ill-behaving lunar dust aided by low gravity

The cosmic radiation

There ly advantages too

14 day continous night for prolonged observation

The low seismicity rendering stability

Melting of lunar dust by microwave

Turning into insitu material for construction

The advent of 3-D printing

The emergence of robots avoiding dangers to astronauts

Payloads for visible, infrared, violet light telescopes,solar panels

Equipments listed and included

A rocket launches the space probe with lander rover thereafter

Lander touching down on the moon on reaching

Rover separating, robots set to work

Assembling, setting up telescopes, solar panels in the south pole

Observatory will be borne!

I want to fly high

I want to fly high

Fly into the sky, space, universe like a bird

Enjoying the expanse and awesomeness

Feeling dwarfed yet holding the milieu in praise

And keep flying high, high and high

I want to travel the world

Not just to enjoy travelling

Wishing to serve the humanity

To see smiles in the grief-stricken faces

With the penury, poverty, hunger forever gone

I love my country, love it’s people

Still I love the whole humanity

I love the whole world

Traveling to see all it’s great scapes

The skies, meadows,mountains, rivers, seas

The journey ahead is endless, limitless

Yet the life’s journey is limited with end

Still I fly as far as I can,

travel as far as I could

For my spirits are limitless to carry me through!

What I will do when she is near

What I will do when she is near

It’s her fragrance letting me feel she is near

Will enjoy her fragrance deep into my soul

It’s her beautiful image which registers when near

Will drink in so gleefully and soar high with her

Will take her in arms stay in embrace

Feeling her silky smoothness, enjoying her warmth

Will pinch her cheeks, will plant kisses

Whisper love into her ears,

Will make her close the eyes kiss on the eye balls

Will pull her super soft hair to my nostrils

Enjoy it’s intoxicating smell, ahhhh!

Course my fingers into it, combing by hand

The thrill climbing right into the top of my head

Swell! Pleasant so sweet and heavenly

It is so nice to find that she loves these all

Surrendering herself to my probe and play

Melting into me, merging into me

Consummating the love, yearning for more

To stay ever near enjoying the union of souls
