My mini Mona Lisa

U my miniature ripping replica,

pretty  pietistic mini Mona Lisa

No emotion surge for papa /sister,

each drop ardour for tiny wonder

Ransack of home, in feat of fury,

pending for U later, not to hurry

Often wish to smash d' breakables,

but to bang items, U so delightful

U relish noise of dropped utensil,

to re-do d' same event ample zeal

In blank mind, I repeat an action,

open & click press jacket button

U toss treasured toys from d’ crib,

perturbed at loss, reel it back in

Sensation of loss wish to master!,

enthralled to see d’ ways my dear

 So monotonous my life, I’m upset,

love to sit alone for long, in quiet

Even at school, in lonely lunchroom

away from pals, indeed wearisome,

Daily life puzzles hard to enumerate,

tough to ease out, much time spent

U even sit unaided, for time brief,

attempts at posture, reality of life

Things you do over & over again,

await varied outcomes, all in vain

To realize items continue to exist,

even though often, U can't spot it

 Innate a prodigy extant since birth,

never confused, behave quite smart

Reach, grab d’ toy, pull d’ blanket

no signs of cry, even mum has left

Trial's on for half hidden object,

composed,calm, ever with content

Giggle to see, own face in mirror,

greet no guest, all seem stranger

A pat on my back for a tidy work,

U too wish, be lifted up by arms

to begin a solid food’s confusing,

for d’ starters multiple questions

Can give U quietly hugs & kisses,

but food how much, what sequence

 Pre-crawl motions, yet do thrill,

drink from cup with several spill

To poke at things, use the index,

laugh out loud, at play with kids

If I forbid it, U reiterate repeat, 

palpate nose, eyes of other babies

Last for long the temper tantrums,

and just gets worse if one ignores

Pent up emotions, all angry energy,

hit pillow, thump floor for a release

Music creates, effect of waterfall,

washes away stress shout and yell

Soft your feelings, I’ll care through,

your intense grief, part it from U

Wish to teach you intricacies of life,

do things on your own, U an artist

Grasped from U what life’s all about,

you just a miracle, make me proud

What’s d’ meaning of world to us,

without U, home a dreaded desert

 

Lingers in memory

                                                                                

Peeped in to d’ steaming cup of tea,

Unraveled few mysterious memory

Absolutely different quite amazing,

never sipped tea of similar matching

Not from wood cabin, or boys’ mess,

nor served In flight, by d’ air hostess

Not bought from a hasty Rly. vendor,

gushed from a drum, in cups of paper

Not from a boiling pot in wayside stall,

nor of social fair, made in mass scale

No tea in mud cups with smell of ash,

served by half folded lungi clad chap

 Not offered in club, nor in a function

It’s a cup granted, in my sweet home

A tidy tea cup, in utmost modest way,

with a glass of water, in a decent tray

Memorized discovery of d' drink,
funny a tale, it's Chinese flood link
River Huang-hua, alters its course,

sorrow of China, evidently a curse

Washed out villages often perish,

survivors die of cholera epidemics

 King ruled for boiled potable water,

feedback revealed, compliance poor

To combat the post flood epidemics,

King ordered for tea shrub fencings

Leaves plucked & boiled, tang bitter,

dry leave extract tasted much better 

 Drink Improvised, improved further,

by adding milk, sugar, lemon, ginger

Now casual hot beverage years after,

almost worldwide, Jammu to Gibraltar

 Alluring packing, varied forms & flavor

marketed in nook & corner, world over

Tea outlets offer tea, served in lawn,

tourists sip, enjoy it on grass cushion

During bath in swimming pool setting,

tea given in roof top party gathering

 chilled dark decant or hot with cream,

 spicy tea, an ambience of cardamom

I had d' scope, to sip d’ unique tea,

in barren life an occasion of ecstasy

No compromise done in tea quality

elements in proportion, so it’s tasty

Elegant designed cups, no protocol,

flavor never altered by cup or saucer

Astounding aroma, incredible flavor,

taste flowed from d’ fair slim fingers

So perfect in making! in mind a query

d’ adored moment lingers in memory
