THREE IN ONE MODERN POEMS
You open my eyes
I have wasted
A life time
In search
I wish we’d met earlier
I would’ve utilised my time
Much better
What’s the meaning of life?
You want to know
You are just at the beginning
I have lived long enough
To know it’s meaning.
For you at your youth
Love is only sex
Perhaps infatuation
At mine, it’s vex, moans,
Bemoans
Also lurking dissatisfaction
Hurts, grievances and palpitation
While you at your youthful stage
Say all without any hesitation
Life has no meaning.
Yes it has no purpose
That’s possibly true
But once born I and you
Have to give our lives
Some meaning for existence
Be it love at the beginning
Or the end my son life has
A great deal of significance
It is much more
Than a simple night spent in bed
When one is young
Also youth is not dead.
Love is life that’s what I know
Life glows
It flows
Those who give life
Moment’s thought
Never in its fruitlessness
Are ever caught
Hope this sermon of mine
Proves divine
Love is a blessing from me to you
Have a meaningful life
Is my message
Dearest young one for you
Of Infidelity
A moment’s infidelity
A life time’s torture
Any human beings’ mind
can go astray
At any time
any day
At any hour
Any moment
by false sense of display
On someone else’s behalf
We foreplay
Come some one
Please do come by
and there you go flat
On the sly,
afterwards it is like just that
You loved to lie on the mat
That is all
That there was to it
We both enjoyed it
Bit by bit
Isn’t it?
Of Honesty
You remain honest
Keep slowly rowing,
The dishonest may
Reach the top.
No honest man or woman
Can ever be rich or big
But in the ultimate analysis
You are calmer
If
You are more honest
Than dishonest
I sleep at the drop of the hat
That is just about that,
As I have no horses
To look after
glad to be your friend
Hereafter
Shakespeare
Shakespeare they now say
Did not really exist
However the works left behind
Do still persist.
And I can say with certain
Amount of authority
Keeping them alive will be
The task of majority
Every one of us must read
His literary work
So that most of us learn the nuances
We shouldn’t shirk.
People round the world
Have to understand
English is something
Without which
One cannot stand.
A b c d and e
Alphabets one must know
Till the last
Rarely does someone pick up
English so fast
English Language is
Literature it is.
