To live after death

My grandfather, dead six decades ago,

Still lives in me in the form of memory

With many events of him floating up.

With this in mind, I tend my grandchildren.

Mother of all

Necessity is mother of invention.

She is the mother of all devices

Invented to add comforts and convenience

And to cause destruction and  annihilation.

07.04.2015

Bed fellows

Humour and melancholy

Are the best bed fellows.

One without the other

Will soon become trivial.

Like positives and negative

 They add to each other

For the effect they produce.

07.04.2015.

To thank God

A loss by death is a deep sorrow,

Irrecoverable, to the dear ones.

A child death wounds more than a parent’s death.

Parents dying before their children,

They’ll not witness their children’s deaths

And are spared from that loss and sorrow.

Need bound relationship

I don’t begrudge her the response

She gives her husband in romance.

I don’t begrudge her the pleasure

She is given by her husband.

I know about my position,

Not an usurper but a pleader.

I look after her interest

Without prejudice to her man’s.

She expects a thrill that’s missing.

I want to explore and she offers.

Both past menopauses, our union

Is no more an adultery.

It’s an attempt to find missing links.

A little more than masturbation

And little less than lesbianism,

Guiltless we grow and brave we become.

05.04.2015.

No hate, no love

If I had left the place without pain,

I would return there without a joy.

If I had left a person without pain,

I would join him without any joy.

Not to love will make you not to hate.

05.04.2015

No blame to each other

Who is at fault if some other women

Remind me of you for their lock or nape

When I come across them now and then, dear?

Is it to say that I’m obsessed of you

Or possess a great deal of sensuality?

Is it to say that you are a temptress

Or you are helpless with your sexy looks?

05.04.2015

Beauty wrecks.

Woman endowed with beauty

Nurtures an innate desire

To be coquettish in public.

No man can take her for granted.

05.04.2015

Shed hesitation

I lost my bullet and you, the sac.

Our intimacy in sex is no more

Than the lesbian’s, to be adulterous.

Kill the guilt; let us find the lost sex anew.

You don’t lose your grace kissed by a boy.

You are not deemed spoilt in adultery

When in intimacy with a lesbian.

An old man is as good as a lesbian.

04.04.2015

Right is the orphan.

Ignorance decides which is right;

Majority decides which is right.

So do authority and the might.

Real right often is an orphan.

04.04.2015

Excess weakens the essence.

Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.

Needless words shade the important words.

Excess tunes dampen the essential voice.

Extravaganza will mar the beauty.

03.04.2015

The latest one haunts

He stopped paying me interest

When I had demanded the principle.

Now I am desperate for interest,

Forgetting about the principle.

They struck work for a wage rise.

I suspended from service a few.

They’re desperate with suspensions,

Forgetting about the wage rise.

03.04.2015

Ego fills the belly.

You have done well, he said; I was fed.

Grateful to you, she said; I was fed.

He spoke high of you, some said; I was fed.

I felt it even with an empty stomach.

03.04.2015

Plagiarism

To appropriate another man’s thoughts,

Designs, inventions or a story write

Is no more nor less than to embezzle

His money. Do you want to be a thief?

03.04.2015

She is marriageable.

Standing on my leg, must I lean on you?

Eating from my purse, must I hear from you?

With remarriage possible, must I fear divorce?

With these in mind, you may take my hand.

03.04.2015

Repression in desire

It behoves you to conceal your love.

It behoves you to be implicit;

It ill behoves you to be explicit.

Repression in love emotion yields fruits.

03.04.2015

God men want followers.

Follow me! I shall promise you Heaven.

Not sure myself about reaching Heaven,

I still deceive you with a false promise

Because my insecure mind wants followers.

03.04.2015

Romantic heart

Human’s heart at bottom is romantic

Rather than ascetic in perception.

That’s why arts and literature flourish

With love as a theme invariably.

02.04.2015

War’s outcome

‘War does not determine who is right;

Only who is left.’  The might win it;

Not the right. The winners and losers

Are hailed by respective people.

Only in Epic Wars are winners

Entitled to win wars as the right.

02.04.2015

The pruned dichotomy

One’s family tree is dichotomy

But man has pruned it to mono-chotomy.

He has removed mother and fore-mothers,

And retained only father and forefathers.

Mother and her roots, two grandmothers

And their roots and four great grandmothers

And their roots and women so on upwards

Have been cut off from one’s identity.

02.04.2015

Who is the fool?

We present our glossy sides

When we seek an admission,

An appointment or a bride,

Burying our other sides.

If we approach to God

With the same spirit,

We are greater fools

Than the branded ones.

01.04.2015

Morals for whom?

To a prey, its predator

Is not merciful, nor grateful,

Nor faithful anytime.

For whom are these morals?

31.03.2015

Sins only come.

People in power make unlawful wealth.

People popular make unlawful wealth.

The wealth leftover gets no gratitude

But the maker of wealth would carry sins.

31.03.2015

It is sports!

No one is entitled to win;

It is sports; that’s why it is sports.

A weak team can shock a strong team.

Who will win? Anybody’s guess;

The same team, the same place, the same day,

When playing two games subsequently,

It can produce different results.

Time has changed; time is the culprit.

One may not be good enough

At a time or at a place.

A player is not good all the time.

Time and space have their influence.

Sports are development of skills.

Skills develop from stern practices,

Which give labour pains in strong dozes.

No baby without labour pain.

Be happy if your country wins.

Be sad in case it loses the game.

No defeat comes willingly

As no accident comes intently.

31.03.2015

Be enlightened.

Without parents, no organisms come;

Each life is an extension of another.

No organism could survive its death.

No one can defy this rule of Nature.

After death, one could produce no effects.

Soul or spirit does not exist after death.

A man is made an extraordinary

And branded as the incarnate one

So that people believe and follow

The attempts to domesticate them.

No need of messiah or human gods

For those who’re enlightened, whom you must be.

Black hair lessens black skin.

Her skin was as black as charcoal.

Her hair made to a bun was black,

Blacker than the black her skin was,

And made her skin look far less black

Like darkness making dim lights bright.

She got my eyes and fell for me.

02.05.2015

The dead ones are fortunate.

No successors are sorry

For the people who retired.

No inheritors are sorry

For the people who exited.

The retired ones can feel pain.

The diseased ones escape it.

02.05.2015

The sanctity of marriage

The marital and consensual sex is not a rape.

The non-marital consensual sex is not a rape.

The marital and nonconsensual sex is a rape.

Then why is marriage solemnized? Scrape it.

02.05.2015

Religions domesticate us.

Religions are made of three parts:

Rituals, mythology and metaphysics.

Rituals are superstitious;

Mythology is supernatural;

Metaphysics is hypothetical.

Yet people follow religions,

Which domesticate them.

26.03.2015

Winning a toss

Winning a toss in sports is not a gain.

The onus to choose the right falls on you.

The right to choose tells you not the right choice.

In case of bad choice, regrets engulf you.

26.03.2015 

God be not defined.

God is neither He nor She or both

When I address him as He.

God is neither born nor dead

When I address Him as eternal.

God is neither a form nor formless

When I make an image of Him.

Beyond comprehension, He is.

Better He is not defined.

27.03.2015

No writing is final. ^

I write something from a given knowledge.

I rewrite it when the knowledge expands.

I shall amend it from the new knowledge.

I myself do not know which is final.

26.03.2015

Shepherds want sheep.

Customers are mustered;

Clients are brought about.

Followers are gathered.

They are sheep to Shepherds.

26.03.2015

Love games

Sweat is sweet; armpits are of taste.

Biting and pinching give a thrill.

Saliva is taken as wine.

Parts mean to touch are dear to taste.

Delay is welcome with eagerness.

Ego is at naught; so is shame.

Feeling lost as outcome is sought.

Both are winners in the battle.

26.03.2015

Fulfilling moods

Between wanting mood and fulfilling mood

One oscillates in one’s activities.

Accomplishments give you fulfilling moods;

Expectations put you in wanting moods.

To give with pleasure is a fulfilling mood.

To get with greed gets you a wanting mood.

Whenever you are in fulfilling moods

An elated experience you will get.

25.03.2015

Visual raping

No woman has escaped visual raping.

No man has avoided visual raping.

Woman’s helpless in man’s fantasy

And imagination, where she’s disrobed.

24.03.2015

Not a witness

You are not a witness to your death,

Nor to anything about you post death.

With that will cease you being a witness

To your birth and anything about the world.

24.03.2015

Arousal brings harmony.

Sexual arousal excites the brain

To release chemicals in pleasure points

And gives you a feeling of feel good.

Who has not welcome sexual arousals?

It is God send gift that woman and man

Excite each other and brings harmony.

It happens from contacts, looks, pictures,

Fantasies, memories and correspondence.

A piano’s leg might look like a lady’s leg.

A coat hanger may remind of a man’s chest.

Arts play an important role in arousal.

Coitus is the reward for wandering souls.

24.03.2015

Grace [Krupa] and mercy [karuna]

Grace is an unmerited favour.

It can land on any, coming from high.

Mercy is a withholding judgment.

It is shown to sinners from the high.

Grace and mercy are influences

That generate in a human’s brain

And set virtual impulses to act

So that the undeserved are let.

God can show grace or mercy.

A king can show grace and mercy.

The one who shows grace and mercy

Is elevated to a kinglike one.

Lee Kuen Yew to rest in peace

There is no corruption.

There is no nepotism.

No racial discrimination.

Meritocracy is the rule.

It is Singapore;

The credit goes to its founder,

Lee Kuen Yew, a Chinese Origin.

He treated his three kids alike:

Chinese, Malays and Indians.

His son who rules now

Will emulate his father.

Tamils pray he rest in peace.

25.03.2014

For happiness

Have who you love or love who you have.

Do what you love or love what you do.

There is no other way for happiness.

To love is to be not in conflict.

25.03.2015

Feeding habits

Mother feel fed when they’ve fed their infants.

Lovers feel fed to have fed on their girls.

Leaders feel fed on the praises heaped.

Others would feel fed when they are fed.

25.03.2015

Love’s first-night

Friendships with her gaining ground for some time,

One day when we were sitting across a table,

Waiting for tea in a posh restaurant

I ventured  to touch her  impulsively.

No sooner did she draw her pink hand

Than I placed my hand on hers in a swift,

Saying, ‘no, no’, contrary to my wish.

Neither naughty nor resentful was it.

There was no such thing that would make a man

Think that he’s done an objectionable thing.

I was relieved that I was not rejected.

To get woman’s nod is the love’s first-night.

25.03.2015

Take adult decisions

He loves his wife for his child.

She loves her husband for her child.

Love between them stems from the child.

Must a divorce when occurs

Spell a doom on one’s love for child

By a bar posed by the other?

Adults take adult decisions

To get married and divorced.

They must take likewise for the child.

23.03.2015

Why is death dear? ^

Two south Indian actress now no more,

Even after five decade, obsess me

With their images I see in the screens.

I fear death lest I should miss seeing them.

Two south Indian play back singers now dead,

Even after six decades, obsess me

With their sexy tones I hear from records.

I fear death lest I should miss hearing them.

23.03.2015

(Padmini and Devika are actresses; M.L.Vasanthakumari and P. Panumathi are singers)

Mind and awareness

Mind divides, dissects and discriminates

Anything it comes to have contact with.

Mind attracts, distracts and destroys for good.

It’s succeeded in splitting even atoms.

Mind is to give you a state of alertness.

Intellect can sharpen it to be shrewd.

Experience can make it to be aggressive.

Minds alert, people are at war in life.

Awareness is different form mind.

Awareness vibrates and ends with one’s death.

Awareness is just the state of being.

Divide-and-rule is not its policy.

Realizing self is the key of awakening.

Intellect cannot develop awareness.

The awakened one cannot be provoked.

Awareness must overcome intelligence.

23.03.2015

Woman to man is a book.

Woman to man is a book-

A novel, a poetry or an essay.

She is stale to who has read

And is fresh still to the rest.
