Zygote of zeal

The zaniness,
The zeal,
At its
Zenith,
Zanthoxylums
Beckoning
The zappy zealot,
To march zealously,
The zarf brimming
With energy,
Now is the time!
Crash that zombie spirit,
Inhale the zeitgeist.
Live it,
Breathe it,
Feel the flavor
Of the zephyr,
Savor the
Zen it offers
And
Zero your guns.
I know but zilch,
And yet I’ll say this much,
Let this be your zeroth commandment!
Let there be zest in
Zillion zigzags
That lead to zenithal.
Don’t just let the zing
Of living
Zip by.
Let this be the
Zygote
Of your zeal
Today.
You can zonk out tomorrow.

Yammer on

The yearling
Yacked away.
Yakety-yak
Yielding
What lay yonder
In
The yearnings
Of the kernel,
The yabber
Yarn-dyed
Into blank verses,
The yellow-peril
Of failing
Yanked away,
Yet
Looming in shadows,
The yeasty admire
Suppressing yaw,
Yay!
Yammer on
Just long enough.

Xanadu

Xenial feelings
Dissipated
In
Xeric airs
Of
Xerophytic noon;
Xanthous xylem of living
Desiccated;
Xenoliths abound;
Xerophiles
Subsisting
Like
Xenon;
And then
Amidst
The xerophthalmia
Driblets of love
Ushered in
The cherished xanadu.

Wayfaring

Waking up
To
Wavers
Of weaving
Another
Wanderlust
Of
Waxing
And
Waning
Windy
Wefts,
Wambling
My way
Through,
Like a
Wantwit,
Winnowing
Words
To
Wield
Wordy
Wizardries,
Warmed
Wooed and
Wizened
In the
Wayfaring.

V-verse

Vacant vacillating verdict,
Drained veridical perceptions,
Vexedly denied answers,
Voluminosity exasperating,
And
Verity challenged
In quest
Till
Valiant virility
Volunteers
Variegations of
Hopes,
Striking vendetta
With
Violent passion.

Uncannily answered

Unarmored,
When the question was posed,
Unsolicited at that moment,
Unappreciated in the
Usual unglamorous environing,
Until
The unintelligible
Unconcealed itself
And
Unhindered
The
Uncomplicated.
No longer unanswered,
No longer unrequited,
The undying proclamation
Was
Unbridled uncontrollably,
Unabashedly,
And then
Umpteen times.
Undulated heart’s
Unflinching sound
Encompassed unanimously.
The susurrations of
Seemingly unmanageable
"I do"
Unearthly unmistakable.

Thunderbrace

Tender skies trembled,
The terra tasted rain,
Thunder ravaged,
The tearing rage of
Tempest swept over,
The tangled trees,
The incessant thirst quenched
In that torrid dance.

Sore spot

Secrets whispered beneath sparkling splendors,
Stinging reminiscences of sultry summers, silken spells,
Silent songs; Savoring the scabs.

Riverine-life

Flowing with river's roily current,
Ruffled, raring, rapturous, ravishing riverine,
Rumpled ofttimes by random ripples

Quiescence

Riveting quiescent memories queued up,
Queer queasiness spreading a quadrillion quaint sensations,
Quaggy terrain surrogates arid nostalgia.

Pretty pink faces

Pretty pink faces, painted perfect,
Passionately practised pieces of art they are,
Plume themselves on puffed-up phantasies

Overcome

Ever obliging the obscure oblivion
The overt overlooked in otiose olive-sized life,
Occasionally oceanic obtuse obviates conformity.

Noon-nerve

Scorching noonday, nimble usualness negated
Neither nuzzling nestlings nor the naivety buzz
Wherefore this spartan nerve undaunted

Moonshadow

Mystic midnight mosaic, shadows stir,
In ceaseless quest to conquer, moonset mourns
While whispers of sun celebrate

Love's labour lost

Longings
And
Yearnings,
Lilting desires,
Long road
Of
Faith
And
Love
Made longer
By
Lonely
Strides,
Lonesome
Misted eyes
Looking
Askance,
Love's labour lost
Over
Lilliputian trivia.

Kinship kaleidoscope

Over
kettleful
of discussions
with
everyone
speaking
in their
distinct keys,
kidding around,
relaxing,
basking
in the
kinship,
where
kilts,
kaftans

and karaoke skills
kindle
equal kinetics
as Krishna,
karma,

and kindergarten
issues,
badgering over
each other's
kitschy
and klutzy phases,
proud
knee-deep
fraternity
in
knavish,
kludgy

and kingly
moments
of life,
kneeling
and keeling together,
wondering
have we
lived it
king-size,
its
heavenly
just to be
able to
squeeze in
together
and
revel
in cousin-hood.

Joie de vivre

Two square meals a day,
With a little jalapeño
And jaggary,
A little old
jalopy to
ferry across,
Jeans and jeggings
And
Other pieces from
Wardrobe jigsaw
Juxtaposed messily,
A place
To catch night's rest
For
The jaded being,
Waking up
With
Juvenile dreams
In eyes
And
Jejune spirit
In heart,
And
Sun shining across
The jalousie,
Joie de vivre
Of
Jillion twinkling jewels,
Joisted jovially in
Jiff
Of
Conception.

Innocence

Inquisitive hands
prying
the menus
of my
smart phone
so efficiently,
inquiring mind
exploring
the world
around,
to comprehend,
to interpret,
his
investigations
inspiring

awe,
wonder
and reverence,
innocent
questions
leaving me stumped,
I guess,
its time
already
for self-up-gradation
to be
able
to
match steps
with
him.

Heaven's hither

Atop the
Green hills,
Across
The windy roads,
En-route
To Eden,
That serene
Hilly hamlet
Nestled against
The rushing
Streamlet,
Restful retreat
For tired soul.
The remnant embers
Of the night
Still burn
Hither,
Smoke
Billowing
From the
Chimneys,
The jaunty red morning hat
Dawning
On
Humble habitation,
My heart
Beating with joy,
Minute by minute,
The decrepit bus
Inching nearer,
Lips half-smiling
At recollections
Of
Fluffs and frivolities
That make
Those four walls
Resonate with love,
The majestic
Dwelling,
That some call
Heaven,
Some home,
Homophones
As I find them both,
Thin line
A mere blur
In my conscience.

Grown-up Gorgeous

Why girl,
Just yesterday
You were
Trotting in
Peach shorts,
That girly-girl
 Attitude
So not your thing,
Spirited,
Gritty,
Granular,
Spunky,
And come today,
You walk in elegantly,
Gracefully,
That six-meter drape
Setting off
Your
Feminine gentleness
So resplendently,
Fair feet
Gleaming
In high heels,
Your catwalk,
A head-turner,
And
Amongst your
Glow,
My heart skips
A beat,
My little girl,
You have
Grown-up Gorgeous.

Felicitous Life

Felicitous life,
Flanked by,
Innocence
Blooming
In
Frilly frocks,
Youngest
Fell asleep
In the humdrum
Of
Flooded local,
Endeavors
To rise her
Foiled
By
Summered stubbornness.
The eldest
Splashed
Water,
Feigned innocence,
Until that rubbing-eyes
Sleepy
“Who dunnit”
Set her giggling.

Eclipse

Exhaling
The dry,
Smoke filled
Urbanism,
The everyday
Ecstasy
Eclipsed,
The race
To etch
Across
Longitudes
And
Latitudes
Exhausting,
Eroded
Walking corpses
Enshrouded
In
Euphoria,
The existence
Eternally shadowed,
We endure
To exist.

Dangerous Delivery

Delighted damsels,
Declared
Graduates
By the noontide,
Designing the evening,
To decompress
Nothing plushy,
Just the
Double Cheese Margherita,
Coca-Cola
And
Movie,
The decor
Dimly lit,
Details definitely overlooked,
Order dictated,
Half-hour delivery
Ticking.
Somewhere
Out there,
The delivery-boy,
Hurrying with the parcels,
Desperate
To deliver
In time,
Hotfooting
Here and there,
Crushed by the
Dynamic BMW
That
Drove at
Some super crazy speed,
Declared brought dead
By the medics.
The doorbell rang.
Dampener!
No free delivery again!
The blood-spattered
Decapitated
Delivery-boy
Smiled as he handed the parcel.
Shrieks jolted the entire
Neighborhood.
He has been spotted
Often
Running delivery-errands.

Catching fireflies

Carefree childhood
Inhibited by
Crutches,
Comforted
By frail shoulders
Of his
Mother,
Her skeletal frame,
Covered by papery skin,
Wrinkled folds
Speaking vividly
Of
The asperity,
Clearly not amused
By the catchy smiles
Of her son,
Speculative,
Perhaps deliberating
Their next square meal,
Considering
Yet another
Clinical tour,
The little child
Oblivious
To her
Concerns,
Looking out
At the
Regular chaos,
Commotion
With
Insatiable curiosity.
Also,
Caught a glimpse of
Carefree childhood
Caressing
The green
Summer grass
With his tiny feet,
Chasing fireflies,
Catching them
In a mason-jar.
The somber sober
Summer night
Made bright
By delighted
Cackles
Of puerility.

Butterflies

Babbling bubble,
Rainbow of colors,
Blooming
With blossoms
The beaming sun
With
Beaming smiles,
Buzzing
Consistently,
Imbued with ardor,
Beaconing spring,
Befitting beauty
Flitting
To the garden
And
Back again,
Finding
Now and then
A
Bed of roses,
Brut too,
In this
Piece of game,
Once in a while
Reaching out to
Fires and flares,
Undaunted,
Even
Beaten down,
A smack, or two,
Burnt ashes,
Broken wings,
And
Betrayed desires,
Moved
Quietly,
Quickly
Out of the
Back door,
Back to basics,
To
Beginnings
And
Endings,
Butterflies
Fly away,
A handful of dreams,
Stay behind.
A handful
Of
Trials and errors.

Apostrophe rhetoric

That sudden
Inexplicable
Rush of adrenaline,
Blush of cheeks,
Heart, ready to burst,
Thumping, literally pounding
Against the
Containing walls,
Blood
Gushing through
The mesh of
Arteries,
Ache, dull yet dense,
In the triceps and tendons,
With the urge
To hold,
With the impulse to
Embrace,
Adopt,
Acknowledge,
Appreciate, and
Admire;
Tongue tied
With verbosity,
Skin twitching
With
Palpitations of possibilities,
Face, a radiant sun
With
Aspirations to
Amass,
Hoard
The lifetimes together
In that fleeting rush,
When you just flitted
Through the thoughts,
At random,
And all this while
All I get to do
Is
Talk to the apostrophes.
