Poetic Express

Poetic Express-

Fuelled by emotions

Driven by expressions

The poetic express is on it’s way

Chug, chug, ba..aam , ba..aam , Co..ooo!

Love, nature, joy, sorrow, war, peace,

Sports, humour all dot the literary scape

as wayside views …….

Poet rides as the express itself!

The land marks, destinations speed along

Destinations keep on changing

As the titles and contents of the poems

Keep changing, they are never the same again!

Yea, express of the different kind

The poetic kind! Chug, chug, chug….

A poet is unique so is the express

Churning out poems in god speed

They may be any number of poets

Any number of expresses, each unique

In the way they run, they express

Some raw, some refined, some graceful,

Some hesistant and slow struggling to move on

Some fluent and superfast overtaking all expresses

Super fast expresses are super poets! All ride

small or big, accommodating you, the readers,yes!

Jolly mountains for living!

Hills! A real treat to look up

Evoking wonder how to go up there

Each time and every time we look up for sure

Go up we could, let us explore!

Winding roads laid on the hills curve up

As hair pin bends, a delight to ride up

Seeing down below the path you just climbed up,

The valleys with trees, greenery, a thumbs up!

Mountains are not just for hiking up, seeing

They are Jolly mountains for living!

Like the roads built on the upslopes,

They built buildings, grown crops to live whoops!

Sleep,eat ,study,work all in the buildings, gardens,

vehicles ply taking people up and down routes

steps leading up peaks and down slopes

From the peaks the town is speck of dots

Sun shines pleasant with no scorching heat

Town twinkles as star lights from peaks in the night

You wear sweaters, wear caps, feel cozy in the chill

It is all greenery, flowers, a heaven of joy on the hill!

Friends are fill in the blanks...

Friends are fill in the blanks...

plugging the missing voids in life,

the gentle breeze in our stormy life

their precious time made yours through thick

and thin as living angels lifting our spirits

Friends just happen as gifts of life

to register on our mind here are

some to take away the cruel loneliness

in the sea of humanity, to feel cared,

to rely on with shoulders to cry on

Best friends surpass the best love

in the life without the physical relationship

needed to cement the love in emotions

it’s a rarity the best love could be a

best friend, yet other friends do matter

They cut across the physical bonds

They take the companionship to

another level, the highest level

ever possible in life, they are such

blessings when they are true friends

They cut across the times of party,

joy, celebrations, they are with us

through the cries and sadness

it’s on us to acknowledge, cherish

them reciprocating the golden friendship!

They enjoy our lifestory

Let them enjoy theirs too

by being the fitting friends they

deserve, it is a two way traffic just as

love, let the traffic flow filling in their blanks!

Bus of the satellite kind!

Just as the bus a vehicle carrying passengers

This bus is a special kind

A bus of the satellite kind!

the satellite’s bus, the vehicle part of the satellite

propelling the satellite in revolving orbit

Bus carries along side the solar panels,

Batteries for powering the telemetry,

Rocket thrusters to keep the satellite in position,

the reflecting pipies to dissipate solar radiation

and heat all travel as it’s outer case, all class!

Payload the very purpose of the travelling

Satellite around in orbits with transponders-

the space mirrors to receive, bounce

internet, phone calls,radio and tv broadcasts

rides atop the bus in comfort and glory

Without the bus the satellite will never

Move forward, revolve around the earth

To act as a eye, space mirror, compasses

To guide around the Earth, stop the bus

The satellite is dead dropping back to Earth

Upkeep, maintenance of the bus

All done by remote by the space engineers,

Scientists all sitting in the confines of the

Earth, bus is more or a less  self driving requiring 
occasional push, an awesome technical marvel!

Dream chasers

Dreams galore, dream chasers abound

Billion billion dreams, billion billion chasers!
Nature so decrees that almost all are dreamers

Non dream chasers are a rarity

One in a billion kind!

One dreams just three square meals

One dreams a house,

One dreams a car,

One dreams smart phone, gadgets,

One dreams a great job

One dreams to be rich business man

One dreams to be a great sportsman
One dreams to be a scientist

One dreams to be acclaimed social activist

One dreams to be a famous Sadhu

One dreams to rule the country

One dreams to be famous

Dreams small or big dreams are dreams!

Centuries after centuries have gone

Dreams remain the same, no change!

All beaten track dreams!

Dreams are dreamt by different generations,

different earthlings is the only change!

No one lives two hundred years or more

Time and nature limits the tenure

Of one and all, no change, still dreams die hard!

Dreams never end, dream chasers never end

replenished by succeeding chain of dreamers

pursuing, chasing dreams of their own

for a comfortable sojourn on the blue marble

Dreams inspire to go about realising them

Beaten track dreams are need of the life, they

just need dream chasers to sustain generations, yea!

Emotions unfiltered!

Emotions-

Moods flash

up surge,

ripple, wave out

jump the depths of mind

Emotions uncorked

ungagged, let themselves out freely

flow out in smooth stream

Ah! Emotions unfiltered!

Love unchoked

Cry unsuppressed

Laughter unchecked

Anger uncontrolled

Hatred unfettered

All emotions unfiltered

Some harmful, some are not

Prudent to filter the harmful ones

Let out the harmless unfiltered

Gushing rivers,

Splashing down water falls,

Surging oceans,

Taking the love in arms

Holding in tight embrace,

Showering passionate kisses all over

Enacting with unbridled passions

All beautiful, unfiltered

Joy! Pure thrill!

Let them be!

Emotions unfiltered

be all beautiful , benevolent

pouring out in abundance

Be wise, take care, be happy!

Storm has arrived on my door step, it's time for a tea cup!

Over the oceans ,a low pressure bay

developed  forming the storm

As I awaited with bated breath it’s arrival

the storm has arrived on my door step

earlier than slated time, bringing instant rains

Woohoohoo, it's shivering chill! it's time for a tea cup!

Storms and rains bring back the

sad memories of torrential rains last year,

Floods submerging streets, houses, localities

the whole city all turning into a sea of water

pressing into service boats for rescue,transport

as the city and citizens lived in night mare days

Precious lives and property were lost

Massive relief  work followed, noble

volunteers raising above religion,race

and creed restoring the faith on humanity

Let the storm be benevolent this time

showering only for the needs of people

For the needs of agriculture, drinking water

Yea, let the storm come, let it bring the rains

Yet may it spare the devastation witnessed last year

Letting you, me and all to go about the usual tasks

raising the tea cups to say cheers enjoying

the friendly rains without injury and loss,amen!
