Border Love

Border love

 

on the border of intelligence, two hearts reside

one and the other, exactly different

nothing they shared but the border of intellect.

On this border, hearts, would love exchange.

                               

                                                Heart one side, a stupid poet good

                                                exchanged love with methods of crude

                                               The other heart, a nymph celestial

                                                Heart beauty and intellect, soaring mercurial

                                                               

The hearts exchange words

cheered happily and play

unbeknownst the love spread

one confused the other mortal dread

 

                                                What about the difference that lay ahead,

                                                are they too important? to love they behead

                                                What will people say, one heart quipped

                                                it's like having love in bud nipped

 

What matters, that life lived well

or the perceptions on how we dwell?

and to soothe an overflowing heart

to a new life we both start

                                               

                                                The stupid replied, on the horizon, it looked,

                                                Celestial nymph, turned back, to love rebuked

            A heart, better, waiting for commitments it’s say

            And on its alter, dead, the stupid heart lay

Icarus's Lament

To go after what one desires the most, often tears the salty eyes. This lament which Icarus sings brings forth his waxen wings. Refrain then from passions desired great, prey emotions to predatory fate.       The Poem     Icarus's Lament   Modesty is the bane of gentlemen, lesser are concessions and judged the actions Let not tender affections deepen, in prickly thorns of persuasion.                                                                                   What mortal's not to do but feel                                                                                 and to guillotine his character seal                                                                                 and when the eyes of the crowd judge and scorn                                                                                 broken is the heart and into pieces torn   oh..! how good, better and best are wastrels in debauchery and cunningness, they revel to the crowd, they mock and take wha

The Underdog Part 12; The Escape

-

    The plan was superb, it was indeed easy just to run away from the compound, but years of being caged behind strong bars, convinced these dogs that there was nothing they could do. Browny was more determined when some dogs who previously hesitated and were reluctant, joined the plan it was decided. A few days went by, and the conditions of cages began to deteriorate, the disinfectant smell now long gone, was taken over by the overwhelming stench. For older dogs, this was usual relief, they learned to accommodate this stench, the dogs who had lost olfactory senses were as unaware as the smell of disinfectant. Nothing was good about this hellish place. Soon, the day arrived, it was just like a normal day, the people came in with disinfectants, cleaned the cages, uncollared the dogs, washed them, and fed them good food. The dogs were ready... The vehicle of the city people arrived at the gates of the compound and as the gates were opened, there was only a single bark, "Bhow",

  Chirping her way in, the little sparrow made the grand entry in the nest, the nest its all but ugly, made comfortable by lining the floor with softest of feathers and cotton and bits of fabric collected over an endless number of flights, well, that was just the bedding. How about the walls then, fine twigs from the softest and tender grass were collected, sorted, and carefully weaved one by one, creating a small shallow and eventually finishing it with another smoothest upholstery of feathers and cotton. Such is the nest of our common sparrow. Perched high on the branches of a fig tree, this sparrow has made her third brooding nest. This she does without exhaustion, it’s the natural urge to pass on the genes and with it the experience of this little life. Insignificant, not even close.   It was raining and summer was just heating up, the sun was too tired of being cold, and was getting hot, for it too, doesn’t like the cold weather. There up in the neem tree, amongst three
