Whenever the hectic pace of life gets too much
I imagine myself in a place that’s tranquil and calm
There is preponderance of quiet there, serenity is prevalent
I dip my feet in the still water, shunning away
The impertinent din of everyday life from myself
I ponder upon the mysteries of birth and death in this calm

The design motif was repeated almost everywhere
The ornamental hedges were shaped accordingly too
As he walked through the vast gardens, he felt overawed
He wasn’t their equal, with his modest income
Why were they interested in him he wondered
In the evening vapor, he felt lost and trapped
I hope they aren’t vampires or cannibals he thought
The image where they would gobble him up
Like a tender morsel flashed in front of his eyes
“Hi, Mr Brown, where are you lost? Came the voice from the gloom
My father is waiting to introduce you to your pupil
Pupil? He asked hesitantly
Yes weren’t you told that you’d be teaching my younger brother?”
A sigh of relief escaped his lips, now at ease
He was needy but not a doughty person by nature

It wasn’t anybody’s fault
She really thought she had seen him
Take the money from someone’s bag
But it turned out to be just a figment of her imagination
And he never forgot or forgave her for that unjust accusation
Years later they met under different circumstances
At a gathering in the city center, they bumped into each other
The intricate frill of her shawl got tangled
With the curls on the crown of her head
He gave it a strong tug making her roar in pain
Now they were quits, both had hurt each other
It was a mystery to their friends, why they fell in love later

He proclaims his victory, brazen faced
Oh! the temerity of this guy is unbelievable
He is holding on to the undeserved reward
Thinking this bright and shiny trophy is his
This is stunning news for all sane people
Steps need to be taken to unstick this mess
And put him somewhere dark and deep for a while

Demure and shy
But mischievous too
The girl next door is
Full of paradoxes
She is full of compassion
Yet changes her mind
About me many times a day
I just want to go out with me once
And I will make her realize
That I am a worthy friend
I hope I haven’t missed my chance
As I see her waiting by the gate
All dressed up and ready for fun
I’m thankful from the bottom of my heart
That it’s just her friends from school
That she’s made plans with to go out
I think it’s time that I should ask her out

We’ve had our summer fun
Now it’s time for hibernation
Time to go for a little winter slumber
Time for healing and regenerating
Things may not go according to our scheme
There could be rain, hail, or even snow
But it not a cruel twist of fate we must know
All that happens in nature is part of a plan
It is actually the loving hand of nature that ensures
That life carries on year after year without a break

When you offer trite and hackneyed words of apology
I cannot consider them anything but perfunctory
I have a visceral feeling that you’re stretching the truth
It would be an aleatory chance if your deeds
Would fit your words, as I know you don’t mean any of them
I don’t want an abject surrender of your ego
But some feeling of remorse and genuine regret
Can go a long way towards mollifying my heart

Not outside in this ostentatious world
Look for it deep inside yourself
Your Qi is what makes you, you
Your spirit, your zest and panache
The exuberance of the joy you feel
The sadness that clings to your heart
It is the true essence of your soul
It is right there where your heart is

It will retract itself into the shell when you provoke it
Give it some peace and space and gradually it’ll emerge
This little turtle looks delicate but is quite a tough guy
Feed it crisp cut leaves of lettuce or apple slices
But don’t think it an aberration when it switches to
Eating worms for all species have a different palate
Some like to keep them as pets others admire them from afar
It is one of the oldest types of reptiles on our planet

I am an independent woman
I don’t need credence of the society
Don’t run errands for me or open doors
This bag is not heavy, I’ll manage on my own
I don’t fit the paradigm of delicate female
I am a strong woman, better than many men
No plot to reduce my mobility would succeed
Neither can you block out my voice and views
This tale of courage will echo around for eons
People will remember the time when women became empowered
I am a woman and proud to be so!
