An ode to a lady

Don't mistake me for a ruffian

loose on the street to abuse

what I seek is a mystic oblivion

in the arms of my muse

Being here they say I breach traditions

Is it wrong to seek to love sans conditions

She's no bimbo with the attitude

won't take you for some dumb

if you choose to stay numb

yet fuels passions to a new altitude

Tabooed as a woman of virtues at ease

by a world marching blind

into a mire of money and sleaze

unladen this girth from my mind

Blending into that plastic mirth

unveiled a child with an innocence

shattered by unsparing providence

convicted for an unjust birth

Lingering on those eyes so listless

I see many hopes and dreams

vaulted behind mascara and creams

well pursed lips hold much distress

Unfettered the Pegasus soars

mesmerized by this slender lark

landing on those blissful shores

here nothing's bright nothing's dark......

Some Chaaat....

The ship's been through stormy seas

All the cautions thrown to the doldrums

Tipsy I try to chart the course

with no shore in near sight

It seems he plans too long a night

but why crave for the day

when this charming night's holding all sway

the glistening stars with their enchanting patterns

guide my voyage to a destination not known

The day with it's fat old Sun

ushers a longing to run

without catching my breath

to a place where all's as sure as death

Groggy I take a swig of rum

A subtle note strikes a chord somewhere

and I released from the glum

realize that day or night don't deserve the heed

A beckoning call from the captain's all I need

So Aye Aye Captain!!

Here this mariner humbly stands

this voyage needs nothing but your steady hands........
