The two little skeezucks

There were two little skeezucks who lived in the isle
Of Boo in a southern sea;
They clambered and rollicked in heathenish style
In the boughs of their cocoanut tree.
They didn't fret much about clothing and such
And they recked not a whit of the ills
That sometimes accrue
From having to do
With tailor and laundry bills.

The two little skeezucks once heard of a Fair
Far off from their native isle,
And they asked of King Fan if they mightn't go there
To take in the sights for awhile.
Now old King Fan
Was a good-natured man
(As good-natured monarchs go),
And howbeit he swore that all Fairs were a bore,
He hadn't the heart to say "No."

Pearl

Pearl of delight that a prince doth please
To grace in gold enclosed so clear,
I vow that from over orient seas
Never proved I any in price her peer.
So round, so radiant ranged by these,
So fine, so smooth did her sides appear
That ever in judging gems that please
Her only alone I deemed as dear.
Alas! I lost her in garden near:
Through grass to the ground from me it shot;
I pine now oppressed by love-wound drear
For that pearl, mine own, without a spot.

2
Since in that spot it sped from me,
I have looked and longed for that precious thing
That me once was wont from woe to free,
To uplift my lot and healing bring,
But my heart doth hurt now cruelly,
My breast with burning torment sting.

Do You Really Love Me?

Do you really love me?
Don't matter if you do
It’s mine to love you aptly
For strong feelings I accrue

That so unlikely an outcome should accrue to a man possessed of such limited talent and so many flaws, and one lacking in a sense of ethics and decency was one of the bitter ironies of history.

The uniform

The police must appear in uniform.
The juries should present themselves in robes.
The dancers must perform in their costume.
One must wear the dress assigned for the roles.

Impression and confidence will accrue.

A Flower To Auroville Mother-91

Butterfly bush(Summer lilac,
Buddleja davidii)

You were then a stranger
Just charming attractive
By the hillside farther
When I passed adventive

Was it your purplish blue
Was it your convened make
Was it butterflies accrue
Was it your scented shake

I'd say them together all
Bushy with elliptic leaves
slender stalks grown tall
In awe hurrayed 'who's this? '

Moments with You

Reminiscing about days of the past
Jumbled images of my life amassed
Chasing the end of another decade
My passion is not a masquerade

What date will be life's lethal dose
Praying that I will I get to say adios
Until then, I'll keep on loving you
Having fond memories to accrue

My past, your past...ancient histories
Together, we will hoard anniversaries
Though one day I'll be called up yonder
So moments with you, I won't squander

Restless

Is remorse a prison to the soul
the sole utterance of reproach
that if not to myself be True
the possible best in life accrue
what if regret creeps on the morning
a thief stalking the shadow of dawn
(re) fresh from bare motive drawing
crystal arteries of a day that is new
or shall we allow the mind meander
let it's 'work' find itself crowning
there in its core uncover simplicity
strip away a mournful state of heart

A Flower To Auroville Mother-22

Nila Sampangi(Rajanigandha, Mexican tuberose, Polianthes tuberosa)

Those are the icy drizzles of mount Kailash
All the snowy flora-fragrance on earth
A mystery-blossom in silent hush of a swash
NilaSampangi, such one is you of great mirth

What if I say you're spiked..it's just true
Supported bulbed to spread and blossom
Long leafy perinnial spiked only to accrue
Sacred chaplets penta-poly-petaled festive awesome

Weather

Can you hear
The smile of love.
When you are apart
The aching of your heart
Is
Much greater than being together.
But it's taken for granted
Like the weather.

Can you hear
The ultimate beauty of love.
Feelings take a lifetime to accrue.
Yet me and you
Were counted out
In seconds.
Like a boxer
By an unexpected blow.
You were my kitten.
I was your beau.
