Conflict

HE

"Smooth it is"

"Spherical in shape"

"It is dense. Feel it"

"They call it LEAD"

SHE
"Yes. Like a seed from the pod"
Agrees with a nod
Feels and seconds what he said
"No, it is PLUMBUM.

Haven t you read?"









Inspired by the leadshots that came flying out of my keyboard slider :P

Classic - 3

He strums with
incessant passion;

Magnetism and the ciruit
underneath, provide
perfect amplification

Strum stirs the soul !

The physics of music.

.
Classic.

P.S. A humble tribute to a powerful instrument: The electric guitar.

A note of contradiction

In reply to a certain comment by muthu
Read the comment here

No matter what
comes down from 
my pen;
an elegy or ode;
of loss, betrayal
or a gentle caress.

This is me
I write for pun.
Nothing more 
and nothing less

It is not pain that
rules this world.
There is irony,
absurdity and a
dozen other notions
less explored

You write of love
and the pain that follows;
I will stay back 
and let my pen present
the deprived with
a deserving halo.

Ah and I know you'll not agree to this. 
But this is what I am and will be.

Blood stain


I had not written anything off late, save reading other blogs and commenting. Been a lifetime since I visited the realm of writing, the Writers Lounge. No excuses for the fault lies with me. I am not completely back to blogosphere yet.

I stare at your 
crimson blood still 
staining my 
guilty palm.
I regret and repent
yet remain in a
ghastly calm.

In a moment or two
I shall wash you
off my hand.
You will fade away
leaving behind  the
blood strand.

I remember you
never had issues
with me
yet I crushed, pounded
and eventually
killed you, Mehendi.

Love you

I hold your hands,
feel your warmth and
long for your smile.
You turn away and remain
unusually silent for a while.

I caress your forehead
and kiss your cheek.
You refuse to come
out of your world,
making me feel meek.

I try again to prove
that my love is true.
Still, you ignore me,
suck your thumb
and say gaa gaa goo goo
P.S. Dedicated to a two year old nephew of mine

Combat

I watch you 
breaching silently
into our territory.
Annoyed, I over whelm
with relentless fury.

You defile the 
pathway into my 
prodigious kingdom.

I devise a plan
of attack at random.

My allies inside 
appreciate the 
startling wisdom

You are to be defeated 
at once for I am against
appease
and my allies will
now storm out in the
form of a SNEEZE

I --> air trying to get inside the nostrils
You --> dust in nostrils 

N.B. When particles of dust irritate the nasal mucosa they are thrown away by convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs.

Memory lost

I stand behind a pretty
mother preaching her son of
the right and wrong.
A lose hair from her 
careless bun takes
my rimless glasses along

In an attempt to avoid
the free fall of my 
ever reliable ally,

I place my shoe on her 
naked foot.Unintentionally.
She lets out a cry.

Flattened spheres of gray 
plastic on my ears confine my 
audibility.Confused, I smile.

It is such a pleasure to
"people watch" in the 
peak hour rush.
But then a sense of
untold fear creeps and 
I stand hushed.
Left the purse back
home and here comes the
collector. Time to blush.
