INTRODUCTION: poetry is always my passion but I write all sorts stories and fictions. Generally I am not a writer of love poetry but looking the interest of the readers I often write love poetry also. If you go through my poetry you will find that I generally cover the whole gamut of life and some of the poems are sad and some are critic sort of poems. But my endeavour is always to create philosophy through my poems. Words are assumed as mightier tool to say something more effectively. Well in present times people are rather less interested in serious poetry but it is my assumption that the present way of life has taken away the taste of sad poetry, but the gravity of real poetry lies in stimulating one’s emotions to an extent that the social values don’t see the bad days. And life should not turn materialistic and mechanical.

Human nature is always on changing phase and sometimes we feel a generation gap but if you can visualise the philosophy of life remains unchanged. Even today what Shakespeare or the great writers have said thorough their poetry is true in every age of life.

Therefore poetry is a means to communicate the philosophy of life and feel of a person in different situations and circumstances. Sometimes it is a rhyme. Sometimes it is lyrics and sometimes it is haiku. But the main purpose is to say the things in shortest possible way. Every writer has his own style and so I have got my own style and try to use a vocabulary which can easily be understood. I have written many volumes of poetry and it is available for readers on various sites. Poetic tweets is the biggest volume and contains all sort of poetry there. And it is worth buying and reading. There are other volumes also.

Since presently I am not in a position to bring them in book form but hopefully a day will come when my books will be on stalls for the readers. Very recently I have added a series of books. But since I being rather an unknown writer there is a lukewarm attention from the readers. I am putting great effort in writing in a language, which is not my mother tongue and also not having professional English learning. But still I hope I meet the standards of the language and expect reader’s attention to my work. Thanks!

When you………………….

When you said me hi

I was about to die

I looked at you

You were a cute

Very special brew

Your eyes so deep

A peep hole of heavens

And your lips

Cool falls from the hills

And your heart

Tidal, like oceans

Once I could not believe

But when I came to my senses

Not replying you,

would have been a sheer nonsense

And when I said Hi

You threw a kiss

And I was mesmerised

Thrilled to have you

My awesome friend

Till that day you are mine

And your hot breath

Is like ecstatic thrill in my spine

Your being together

Is all I desire,

And to your hot hearted greetings

I always admire

Now you are my life and soul

Together we will live

Even skies do fall………….

Forgotten the ultimate!!!!

I am not acceptable

You are also

Not all it’s cracked up to be

If I am not fare

You are not all there

O my dear

You are not anywhere near

It is never, not by a long shot

That you are honey

And living

Not for love of money

You are pious and pure?

Remember

You are not long for this world

You may think of being emerald

But I know your truth

Your only quest is a money bag

But it is not my bag

You live for living

I live for dying
