Poems

a day at work.

2006-06-19T07:16:00.000-07:00

its tough for me to know
to speed up work or go slow

the helpdesk cases keep piling
the analysis is bloody tiring

offshore tries their best to catch up
client wants expectations to match up

oen of these days is just crazy
making it seem that i am lazy

just when it seems i can manage
someone comes to cause more damage

just when i put things in control
i am told i have a minor role.

Sprit

Sweet is the nectar
Peeled from your lips
Is that why it flowed
Right into my mouth
Its taste is sugary
That much I can say.

Gross Salary - Gross Disappointment

2006-01-20T09:34:00.000-08:00

Never thought that I would be writing a poem about this one.

Ages and Wages never to be asked
never to be told
Unless you are too bold
or your intent is masked.

Think with your brain (revision and suggestions by Annette)

Vic HADN'T met a girl so bold
SO THIS TALE OF WOE has to be told.

Vic was a guy WHO WAS hard to please
Sad was a girl WHO put guys at ease

ONE SUMMER'S day, they were feeling upbeat,
IT WAS BY FATE they happened to meet.

They met on a trek somewhere in the hills.
Vic carried her bag and paid all her bills.

Vic had a girlfriend FAR away
Sad had a boyfriend one FOR EACH day

The guys around them teased YOUNG Vic
AND Sad joined in just for A kick.

Vic started TO SEE her in a FAVOURABLE light
SO CAREFULLY planned a trek overnight.

That was the night their passions unfurled
WITH BODIES TOGETHER they lied and curled.

Sad SUCCEEDED TO GET HIS PASSIONS IGNITED.
All her flattery made him FEEL LOVED AND excited.

When Sad COMPLIMENTED his beautiful smile.
He dreamed of walking her down the aisle.

Sad loved to tease and I pity Vic's plight
FOR till the end, he could not see the light.

He decided to give the affair a whirl,
AND broke off with his OTHER girl.

Off he went running to see HIS Sad,
Only to find she was REALLY QUITE mad.

How could you do this to me?, she CRIED
AND TAKE me for granted, she SADLY SIGHED.

HE THEN TURNED TO HIS FIRST TRUE LOVE
BUT SHE CAME TO HER SENSES AND GAVE HIM THE SHOVE

Now he felt SHAMED AND ALL ALONE,
BOTH OF HIS LOVES HE'D SIMPLY THROWN.

He promised himself, he would never again
THINK WITH HIS HEART AND NOT WITH HIS BRAIN

Some of the changes for this poem were suggested by Annette.

Think with your brain.

Vic had not met a girl so bold
Oh, this tale has to be told.

Vic was a guy very hard to please
Sad was a girl she put guys at ease

On a day, they were feeling upbeat
By accident they happened to meet.

They met on a trek somewhere in the hills.
Vic carried her bag and paid all her bills.

Vic had a girl friend stowed away
Sad had a boy friend one every day

The guys around them teased Vic
Sad joined in just for the kick.

Vic started seeing her in a different light
One day they planned a trek overnight.

That was the night their passions unfurled
In each other’s arms they lied and curled.

Sad did manage to get Vic delighted.
All her flattery made him excited.

When Sad, mentioned about his beautiful smile.
He dreamed of walking with her down the aisle.

Sad loved to tease and I pity Vic’s plight
Till the end, he could not see the light.

He decided to give the affair a whirl,
Promptly he broke off with his girl.

Off he went running to see Sad,
Only to find she was a bit mad.

How could you do this to me?, she wailed
Took me for granted, she exhaled.

Now he tried to get back with his gal
She no longer wanted him to her pal.

Now that he felt lonely and desolate.
With neither of them could he tesselate.

He promised himself, he would never do that again.
If you think with your dick, you can't think with your brain.

For Bhanu

Between you and me, I have to tell a tale.
Had never thought I would feel as such.
At first I didn't expect this feeling to prevail.
Now I hope I don't miss you much.
Unless we manage to stay in touch.

Strangers in a train - my version

2005-07-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

Was travelling through the journey of life.
Having recently broken apart from my wife.

Alone I was trying to enjoy the scene
In walked a maiden soft and serene

Somewhere along the way we touched a chord.
She was lonely and equally bored.

On the journey we shared our dream.
She too loved her coffee with cream.

She was trying to get back at someone.
Getting close to me was her idea of fun.

Took a little while for this to sink in.
By this time, she had started to act mean.

I was happy it was short and brief.
It did not cause me any grief.

Oh to propose her I was so tempted.
A thing that I almost attempted.

I am sometimes tempted to give her a call.
Cause once to me, she did enthral.

I realize that its no longer my game.
It might even bring me to shame.

And i am glad that I did refrain.
We were simply strangers in a train.

The journey

2005-07-14T18:15:00.000-07:00

Life's a journey that we have to make.
Along the way we make mistakes.
That might cause us to crumble and break.
But it separates the genuine from the fakes.

Lord is watching from heaven above.
You just might find your one true love.
Fate sometimes deals a cruel hand.
The winner marches to his own band.

Life does have a lot of offers.
Bulging pockets to empty coffers.
Some folks do strike it lucky.
Others seem so unlucky.

A winner remains unaffected by this.
He eventually moves on to bliss.

I dreamt this poem up. Isn't that just a bit too weird?

Not able to get over it.

2005-07-04T10:22:00.000-07:00

She was still in love with her former love
Gone to the great above.
That made it difficult for her to love anyone again,
No way for her to love another man.
Approach her with a smile and she would smile back,
Heartbroken and still dressed in black.
Though she could think of no-one else.
His smile was the one to make her heart pulse.
No man had his shoes big enough,
To fill the void that her lover left.
You could try your level best
She still wouldn't get impressed.
Guys tried hard to please her
All she did was smile.
Nothing ever appealed to her.
To love again would be sinister,
And she finally died a spinster.

Type casting

2005-06-20T10:30:00.000-07:00

American girls are easy to impress.
Show them some money, buy them a dress.

Polish girls are exceedingly bold
Love to get their hands on your gold.

Iranian girls have milky skin.
They will make you want to sin.

Italian girls are a hard case to crack.
Once done, they are great in the sack.

Indian girls all want to marry.
Then they will make you sorry.

All I ever wanted

2005-06-17T02:45:00.000-07:00

All I ever wanted
was someone just like you
someone to love me just for me
make me happy when I was blue

All I ever wanted
was someone who would care
someone who would treat me right
and when I needed them they would be there

All I ever wanted
was not to feel alone
for someone to hold me in their arms
and for all the pain to be gone

All I ever wanted
was someone to give my heart to
someon to see the true me
that person would be you

You came into my life
you gave me all I needed
for the first time ever
I felt like I succeeded

Inspired by my friend Angel, who taught me When we can give Love freely, then we can be free of the fear of not getting love from others. And then we can be free of the fear of having our love be rejected or not returned. I think I may have grown too fond of Angel, by now.

All the troubles in my life.

2005-06-15T04:10:00.000-07:00

Life is turning a mess.
I am now in distress.
Trying to find some cure.
For the ills that men endure.

No Strings Attached

2005-06-02T14:30:00.000-07:00

They said it would be No Strings Attached,
Then on to his heart her heart latched.
Its tough to let go when you love someone,
Though it all started just for fun.

Do not be afraid

2005-06-02T08:44:00.000-07:00

Do not be ashamed to hold back your tears,
Do not be afraid to let go of your fears.
I will be there for you as long as you need me.
I will be there no questions asked.

I will listen to all that you have to say.
Offer no suggestion or advice today.
I will be there for you as long as you need me.
I will be there for you whatever it be.

In my eyes you could do no wrong,
My feelings for you are too strong.
There are a number of things I feel for you.
It doesn't matter if you feel them too.

Let go

2005-05-31T20:57:00.000-07:00

Just because I need to

2005-05-29T21:47:00.000-07:00

I long to do those little things,
taking walks down the sea-face
holding your hand while we talked,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.

I loved to go out on dates with you,
where we could watch movies
beat each other at bowling games,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.

I miss all those little things we did
Though I need to let go of these thoughts,
Memories of you keep holding me back.
I loved to do all those little things,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.

Struggling with Excel

2005-05-26T02:11:00.000-07:00

I wish someone would drop out of the blue
And help me solve this particular clue.
How does work this clipboard object ?
When does it copy when does it paste ?

I am now bored with this tool.
Once I did find it very cool.
An event I am trying to trap.
This whole code has turned to crap.

Lightly in my life

2005-05-25T08:33:00.000-07:00

You walked lightly into my life
Captivating and lovely to my mind,
At first, I never cared who you were
Now I don't know who I am without you.

(this one is not original)

Hold Me.

2005-05-25T02:00:00.000-07:00

Sitting here wondering if you know
That the nights are long and cold
It's you that I want to hold
In my arms and never let go

Need to Know

2005-05-24T12:32:00.000-07:00

There is no need to know
We could go with the flow
Boredom is killing me
Come and set me free.

Peace of Mind

2005-05-16T02:45:00.000-07:00

People usually seek peace of mind.
That is really dificult to find.
So they seek solace in wealth
And that causes trouble with their health.

Leaving

2005-05-16T02:36:00.000-07:00

Its the day when we will forever part,
Can't change your fate, no matter what,
Never meant to fall in love with you,
Now you are going, i am feeling so blue.

Asking you to stay would be so selfish.
Things will never be the same again.
Your thoughts will be a part of my brain.

When I walked through a mall by your side
and saw the girls with children inside,
I wish you wud be the mother of my child.
With you, i felt completely beguiled.

However its time now to let go.
What should have been done weeks ago.
Leaving you is really tough on my part.
Thanks a ton for not breaking my heart.

In a moving train, we had made a pact.
Lets together brace for impact.
This way it would not hurt at all
If either of us had to take a fall.

I wrote this poem when I knew that my friend Angel was going to leave India.

Dropping you home.

2005-05-07T11:28:00.000-07:00

In my body exhaustion crept
For 24 hours I hadn't slept
I knew I had to drop you home
Then I could call it a day.
No matter what you say
I still love you in every possible way

Asking for a divorce

2005-04-29T21:59:00.000-07:00

What now my love do you want of me?
When are you planning to set me free?
This has been going on for too long.
You ought to know to you I don't belong.

How much longer do I have to endure?
To end my suffering, there is one cure.
This little piece of paper requires your sign.
Then things between us could turn fine.

The difference is wide that the sheets will not decide.
Lets stop taking each other for a ride.
Some things are just not meant to be.
By signing some papers we can set each other free.
