Fell in love

He fell in love and soon succumbed to death,
Busy pleasing her, couldn’t catch his breath,

He always did what was asked for and some more,
He even did those chores he never touched before,

As per the strict instructions he ate, drank and played,
Friends begged for, but one more min, he never stayed,

Even  after  giving it all,  from  all that he ever hath,
The poor little fellow, still couldn’t escape her wrath,

Though lovers utter their own fairytale shibboleth,
Ultimately desires end like the tragedy of Macbeth,

Proven, that love sucked both his life and wealth,
I still wonder, does love-struck ever do any math!

I agree that right now there is more possibility for someone to catch coronavirus than contracting any other disease through air-born droplets, but there’s never been a time that love is not in the air! 😉

As experts say that only eyes are enough, a well worn mask may not protect you from getting love struck after all. So I am just trying to depict a cautionary tale (which many of you are never going to heed anyway). But believe me, I have seen good soldiers who could have become fine decorated generals one day, disappear from the battlefield suddenly, only to be found domesticated in rotten civilian life! Just like that, even before they get a chance to ask WTF, a beautiful bullet pierces their heart and leaves them docile and disabled for the rest of their life. That’s called FUBAR dear friends 😉

Eventually Settled

Eventually everything will just seem to be settled,
As it always does,  the world  will be  left rattled,

People  will  again   adjust   to  the   new    rhythm,
But future remains same through the reality’s prism,

When  everyone  will  start  singing  about  La  Dolce  Vita,
Fools will resume the fighting, wielding Koran, Bible or Geeta,

What  is  there  to prove with  Cogito Ergo Sum,
When nobody thinks but just beats egoistic drum!

Let’s not forget that no one remembers Memento Mori!
Because  the  death  is  really  not  an end of the  story!

This  world’s  strange  ways are  all  about Caveat Emptor,
If you feel swindled then please start  the new chapter!

While copious calamities come and go, one thing always remains constant and that is the abject stupidity of mankind. It shouldn’t be any surprise that most fail (and will keep on failing) to grasp the basic understanding and keep on repeating the same mistakes again and again.  If I have to bet either for humanity to wise up or for its eternal idiocy then the choice is very clear.

Eventually, it’s up to the individual as this poem says, that nobody is your savior but you yourself. So caveat emptor applies to your own choices in life too dear friends!

Ohh and well, love is not forever and for always, but lunacy is 😉

Knell

When from every direction you start hearing the death knell, 
Will you stay strong  or  will  start ringing  others doorbell?!

When  time  turns  and  things  starts  going  not  so  well,
Will  the  strength  of  your  character   shrink  or  swell?

It’s  really  late  if  you  are  waiting  for  someone  to  tell,
You  must  start  listening  before  the  situations  compel !

People start getting cold feet when they are unprepared.  For how long one can avoid asking difficult questions to oneself? One day the dam will break and the deluge will bring anxiety, depression, insomnia …

Not knowing yourself first leaves the hollow shell, and that will easily collapse.
