Waiting, an art

Waiting a process,

needs a lot of patience

To keep one waiting,

obviously a nuisance

Waiting for an achievement,

d’ prime goal of life

Wait for a baby,

 a longing of husband & wife

A dream to come true,

eventuates in a painful wait

to accomplish d’ desire,

one has to sweat

wait for a negative work

 races one’s heart

Profuse perspirations, excitement

 though acts appear smart

Peasants wait for rain,

 to harvest a bumper grain

Protract wait for an affair,

forge one to wail in pain

Waiting for a payment,

 makes one eager

Sit tight for days, weeks,

months, even a year

Wait to steal, a watchful waiting

An alert wait, with copious sweating

Still people wait & sweat

D' heedful act, caught if not exact

Vigilant wait for a prey,

 needs patience, perseverance

Waiting for a noble cause,

turns life purposeful & pleasant

 

 Waiting for romance, a penance

Needs  a sharp vision, a sixth sense

Waiting for food makes one wild

speaks of d’ stars, grown up or a child

Wait for a stunning victory,

 may turn one superstitious

Hang on for auspicious moment,

to celebrate great occasions

Waiting for grave,

 makes one absolutely brave

Fear factor extinguished,

boldly does d’ one behave

 

Waiting for a train,

Just horrible, gives a lot of pain

Waiting for a luck, makes one sick

Beggars wait for an alms,

stretching their palm

Horse waits for fodder,

obtained,once riding drive over

Slum dwellers in metros, look for a chance

For a little space in footpath

For few hours, just to lie

Underneath d’ open sky

For a release from a jail term,

wait is to get rid of d’ misfortune

Waiting for an engagement,

often turns one adamant

Waiting for a nuptial knot

if unending, marital age cross

A son-in-law of perfect match,

 needs a relentless & ceaseless search

 

Wait, entwined to life of each creature

Often provides immense pleasure

Endurance turns it memorable,sweet

 Fortune hunters in Africa,eagerly wait 

Single diamond dug up in sand,

Brings in life, a tremendous change

 

Wait ends up in frustration, or a victory

Occasionally a memorable history

Not only animals & human

God even waits for an ideal incarnation

wait for an ideology,ideally be a passion

 

Several  evenings pass, in a wait

For d’ dear darling’s sake,

Some evening, not deceiving,

obviously will bring her back

How long I’ve to wait for U ?

Waiting for years through

hope, U’ll explore me some day

Do appear, don’t shy away

Dream castle built, seems pretty,

 in your absence, it's all empty,

Tell me, what I mean to you,

Just an empty vessel, nothing new ?

Forlorn journey of life, scares

waiting for moments that'll be ours

My wait is not yet over

I’ll wait for ever and ever

Mind rushes, it's a racing rocket,

Body still in a bullock cart

My wait continues,

because waiting, an art

Onerous to match d' warriors grand

for an unyielding stand

Pursue d' skill, modulate my flight

for a safe landing,

from any desired height

d' noted conquerors, to greet

The pursuit of wisdom moves on

for several centuries,

at times a genius is born

they d' paragons with infinite repute

d' revered Decemberians… I salute

Tummy trim, my dream

Anytime I come across them,

 amusing chit-chats begin

my tummy, d' jocular topic,

ballooned up as a red pumpkin

Last few days, I could sense,

eatables I'm unable to restrict

chagrin changes in body shape,

ensued beyond estimable limits

Fascinated a lot by d' dishes,

as per the palatal recognition

alluring stuff in food plazas,

might be the prime reason!

opened up countless giant eateries

of KFC and McDonald

enjoyed ingesting tons of

saturated fat, varied chemicals

Body fabrics unalike earlier,

my built used to be wafer-thin

be blown away in d' wind's way,

few bones rolled in little skin

Now scared of transforming

in to some titanic teddy bear

get enlisted in bariatric guys,

 invariably hunts a chilly fear

Got shocked as I grasped

d' obesity-linked hazards

high pressure, shooting sugar,

stroke, as arteries turn hard

Heart attacks, blindness,

an awful urine infection

all weight-bearing joints,

steadily getting worn 

Last few months, my gut got

crammed with items various

Fowls, fish, meat, pork, crab,

seafood, forest creatures

Each surviving soul, if can

hover, swim, wander or crawl

my tummy now, an amicable

bottomless burial trench for all

I kept putting undue weight,

girth, grown inordinately

 my fitments seemed tight

mirror whispers, I look ugly

In an image-obsessed society,

I'm active despite weight gain

even if unfit, slim guys favored

in the anti-obesity campaigns

 Things further worsen,

whenever I arrive home

our kitchen, a giant unit of

yummy food production

Family's competent chef,

my multitalented mom

pantry, over-utilized for

luscious cuisine preparation

No entry for junk eatables,

only homemade fresh ones,

each item mouth-watering,

consumed in abundance

Relaxing life, no tension,

unruffled sleep, no disruption

fat genesis fosters fast,

favors for accumulation

 Fat depots in the body

get overloaded

as bus depots in Metros,

 on the strike days

Tummy the prime depot,

next in arm, thigh, buttock

no walk down to d' nearby office

for sedentary software work

D' Mumbai police slammed to be

 dull and lethargic,

yet I dream

one day my bulbous tummy,

might get trimmed

 

Pot-bellied Mumbai cops,

no zeal to chase d' culprits

tummy assessed periodically

a dismissal on exceeding d' limit

Odd working hours

unhealthy food on duty

the vada-pavs, hot jalebis

filthy roadside food of d' city

The beer expands d' belly,

they go crazy for it, turn unfit

so a pot belly image

law-enforcers can't erase it

A brisk walk daily cuts weight,

also jog, swim, cycle, skipping

no interest in those ventures,

tummy push-in drills vexing

Gym activities ignite hunger,

my efforts lost and in vain

know not how to turn slim,

dejected, and feel drained

 Respite is virtually invisible,

unwanted weight adds trouble

Surgery, d' only choice, I'm sure

Tummy trim, my dream,

 looks obscure
