Childhood Days (Poetry)

The story is of two young girls
Who met in the road and stared at each other.
One was jealous to see other's ring
The other stared at other's shoe
And at last they realised
They were unconditional friends.

They shared their laughter
Poured their tear,
Talking about their childhood days
When none had rings
In their delicate ears,
When both ran bare-footed
And enjoyed their game.

Lesson from a Tree (Poetry)

I close my eyes
Spread my arms
And imagine I were a tree

I stand strong
Unshaken
Rooted by my belief

I obey nature
And then I nurture
All with equality

I prefer fertile land
Like good friends
To grow to live and give

I avoid barren desert
Like bad company
Thorny cactus teaches me this

HATE (Poetry)

My soul knows the discomfort,
The pain that I behold within
The anger and hate that breeds
Push me under my own belief.
To keep the unruly world smiling
How long will I disregard my pride?
How long will I put it aside?

PS - It is always been easy to hate somebody and feel the anger. I tried to put down an emotion in words that I was not feeling at the time. I think I did succeed.

Cigarette (Poetry)

I burn your legs,
Bite your head
Suck your soul
And inhale straight.
I crush you beneath
My dirty feet,
Throw you lonely
To your merciless fate.
Been no friend, for so long
Living in my blood, in my lungs
I hate living, you help me die
I puff you out into the sky
Still you call me a friend
And I rush, to get your smell.
You are only true friend of mine
In my dark and lonely times
None had been so close, so dear
To my heart and to my lungs,
Love in my heart, lies for you
And I don’t care about your bitter truth.

Poetry for the Credit Card

Ode to the Card

Green, Gold and Colorful Plastics
Credit crunch has been too drastic
Your love with POS terminal is on the line
Your spending has been on decline

People have been losing jobs
Default rate is on the up
Housing crisis in the reason
And we are increasing our credit provision.......

Discount rate is under pressure
Our coverage has not been so better
Our stocks have seen too many bears
For a good company, that's not fair

Future may look all too bleak
Economic downturn may be too deep
But every dark tunnel has an exit that's brighter
I hope we manage and come out stronger.......
