  Harvesting Dissatisfaction

  What would you feel about the temple

  You built if it is full of webs?

  What would you feel about the book

  You wrote if it gathered dust?

  What would you feel about the child

  You begot if it went mate-less?

  What would you feel about the person

  You loved if no requite of love?

  Unasked, we do such things in life

  And harvest dissatisfaction.

  To Feel At Peak Is To Feel Good.

  In each stage you evolve about yourself

  And set your preferences for vocation,

  Hobbies, and values to beultimate,

  With the beliefs that you’ve reached the peak.

  You do this exercise at every stage

  As if that is final, which is not to be.

  You believe that you’re at peak at each time

  For you feel good in forming such beliefs.

  You won’t be the person you expect to be.

  You aren’t the person you’d expected to be.

  If you review what you wrote sometime back

  You cannot do it without amendments.

  Friendships And Relationships

  We don’t show ourselves as we are.

  We want the people’s acceptance.

  We want to meet their expectation,

  Which is a demand made on us.

  Else we should not mind losing them.

  Relationships differ from friendships.

  Friendships last where much is concealed.

  Relationships last where much is revealed.

  Spouses Are Partners.

  My children must live long after me.

  To love, Shed Self-love.

  Unless one stops loving oneself,

  One cannot love well another.

  Love demands some sacrifices

  Be With Him

  Be on God’s side

  And accept what happens.

  Don’t expect Him

  To be on your side, and blame.

  Which is His and not yours.

  Resilience is a law of nature.

  If you are not, your children will do.

  To Stop Self-pity

  I pity my son, chronically ill,

  And, hence, his children with no fortune.

  I pity my daughter, a caged bird

  When I detected a tumor in me.

  Tendency to pity them has gone up

  To put a full stop to my self-pity.

  It has more right on me than I on it.

  A Solitary Living

  Living alone is now a new life style

  Living alone is not feeling alone,

  Nor feeling lonely or isolated either.

  Singleton is a self-imposed life style.

  Time and space are in absolute control.

  Freedom of movements needs no adjustments.

  Socialization is on one’s own term.

  As a proprietor, he/she answers no partner.

  Is this a trend showing intolerance?

  Is tolerance in deterioration?

  The solitary living has potential

  To maroon you from the mate’s companionship.
