My possessiveness did disappear

It’s sound of splashing water,

comes from d’ swimming pool

evidently a midnight mischief,

defies all norms, not sensible

Occurs every night as a routine,

the sound growing in intensity

each passing day wades deeper,

tears in to the water’s density

First few days I had ignored it,

from d’ bed now I stepped out

took lift to d’ swimming pool

for vivid check, to clear doubt

Couldn’t find any one there,

got back from the futile trip

tossed & turned a bit in bed,

lastly managed to fall asleep

My passion worked overtime,

to plan and erect d’ building

basement a decent parking lot,

1st floor guest room, drawing

2^nd floor an ornate bed room,

3rd a pool as per her choice

a home theatre on 4rth floor,

with relaxing seats to rejoice

An exciting mini bar on attic,

a gym, solar panels on d’ top

water harvested is put to use,

for the swimming pool set up

Open space is for roof top party,

often to entertain a close friend

all done to fulfil my wife’s wish,

insisted to add pool in the end

Included it in d’ house complex,

I am passionate, love her much

adore d’ fetching face, blue eyes,

wavy lustrous hair, sharp nose

My emerald, my precious stuff,

went missing six months back

I recall the time spent with her,

her whereabouts, cops clueless

Happy couple, in elegant house,

how not immune to such disaster

multiple questions put to me by

family, friends unable to answer

Wakes me up early in d’ morning,

wilfully bangs pillow on my face

I grab her hand and pull her down,

I’m half awake, she half undressed

Finish breakfast, step out to pool,

for a pleasing swim, to enjoy life

finds her way around in pool but

no natural swimmer my dear wife

Looks lovely in swimming suits,

I love oft to play tricks with her

pull legs from below the water,

she splashes and gets too scared

Often we go for midnight swim,

last time I was in a fete of anger

assured amount never received,

mid night swim paid no pleasure

Gripped her legs from underneath,

pulled her down applied force rigid

held her head below d’ water level

fought for a while, turned flaccid

Pulled her out in drenched attire

dragged up to d’ attic cup board

dumped her body, sealed d’ wall

I truly love her, it’s never absurd

Watched the waters for a while,

the pool was quiet, undisturbed

I got up, shrugged my shoulders

to go back to my room, I turned

Again a harsh splashing sound,

for a while my heart beat halted

could see an out stretched arm,

to reach me frantically extended

Grabbed me by neck, dragged me

to depths of unruffled pool water

none to witness d’ horrific crime,

my asset, d’ only silent onlooker

Felt chocked, fought for breath,

things turned hazy, fully unclear

lush mansion started crumbling

my possessiveness did disappear

Bribe payer’s no victim, a criminal

 D’ nurse shook head in negative,

meant, Rs 30/ no decent amount

“I ran out of money to pay more,

and conceded, can’t fight it out”

Hesitantly she took d’ amount,

baby’s treatment got delayed

with a grouse pushed injection,

eventually my ailing baby died

“It’s a bribe paid”, advocate told,

she did admit, “yes she has done

kid’s precious life was at stake,

you expect a more valid reason!”

Bribe payment a terrible crime,

such odious act u did commit

much grievous than d’ person,

he unwillingly had to accept it

Bribe taker had no ill intention,

she was rather a forced creation

you only compelled her to do so,

and she did, had no other option

Totally meek dutiful character,

pressurised by u, d’ bribe giver

to fulfil your lofty aspirations,

u wish to stamp her as offender

You d’ root cause of problems,

by redo appeals, tried to tempt

in spite of d’ sustained refusals,

being an honest public servant

U compelled her to accept bribe,

acceptor is your forced creation

you’re corrupt, thus in custody, 

bribe taker had no ill intention

planning to play a victim card,

tried to gather undue sympathy

you d’ root cause of entire evil,

must receive stringent penalty

Paying bribe is a heinous crime,

sends to society a wrong signal

baby’s demise, no victimization,

you paid it, u a dreaded criminal

Hello helloing at midnight

My dubious telephone service,

over and again behaves erratic

I never try to avoid the creditors,

genuine crisp calls I use to miss

I’m in balcony, for finer network,

it’s d’ type of my service provider

never serves me in adequate way,

nor lets me to try a network better

A midnight call made me nonplus,

seen on screen, a number unknown

oddity made me to answer d’ call,

with lot of curiosity, li’l hesitation

“Hello! may I know, Who is this?”

“I’m Bhagwan, the almighty God

universal, omnipresent, omniscient

d’ all pervading, omnipotent lord”

“It is no time for such prank calls,

I must think of a police complaint”

my admonition was not enough,

and my words were no deterrent

Saw d’ missed call, called u back,

either u ask a thing or else I leave

busy with mankind, have no time,

your tone seems to be aggressive

I called u for last so many years,

during d’ periods of my distress

but returning my call today only,

didn’t call on purpose in any case

God replied in an apologetic tone,

my workload has utterly gone up

“look son, I know you called me,

33 crore deva-devies took care of

Same size was d’ populace earlier,

one god, in charge of each person

that equation is badly altered now,

u multiply in geometric progression

Each devta to cater ten devotees,

and u people are so demanding

whimsical and with endless lists,

a sample of requests worth telling

A good job with an extra income,

a fair skinned wife, good looking

expert in cooking and hefty dowry

d’ undue urgings keep on coming

a healthy male child with a high IQ,

a berth to admit him in d’ IIM / IIT

job for him with a great package,

a damsel daughter in law, fully fit

A son in law not keen in dowry,

let my daughter to pursue a carrier

not to come up to our comparison

friends, relatives or d’ neighbours

Hard to fulfil conflicting demands,

a bit to everyone I quietly sanction

all aggrieved, no one seems happy,

disgruntled for no obvious reason

I’m offered putrid bananas, apples,

d’ recycled flowers, offered earlier

stale sweets prepared in rancid oil,

to fulfil wishes, for a service better

  

I’ve no wish but pertinent question,

u agree Kerala, God’s own country

why d’ awful flood and devastation,

yet I never understood this mystery

God got confused, totally obscured,

improve your geopolitics, d’ answer

atheists don’t believe in me, yet for

ladies I’ve opened Ayappa’s doors

You bring your earthly troubles here,

come with too many irrelevant query

all absurd, jocular expectations and

d’ phone was disconnected in a hurry

Hello, hello”, there was no answer,

my wife woke me up, ready to fight

I’m damn sure u are having an affair,

it makes u, Hello helloing at midnight

It’s only a matter of heart

You lifted d’ head a bit,

casually looked at me,

gave a single tiny glance

I tried to scrutinize,

was it an ambitious attempt

or could it be by chance?

I read li’l deep in to it,

couldn’t take it easy

whatever is your reply

believe me, u are being

keenly watched,

even if u seem to be shy

In reflection of your eyes,

I could distinctly see,

my open hovering hair

also my adoring backpack,

hung from my shoulders,

I just don’t care

You look cool, nonchalant

your clean shaven face,

a guarded composure

your shining shoes,

and distinct features,

make me crazy for sure

The flickering smile,

leaking from your lips,

mesmerizes me always

often your grave face,

your masculine aroma

arouses my sleeping senses

With my sharp gaze,

wish to slash u fast, nonstop

in to multiple pieces

and fly high into d’ sky

or to a mountain top,

vanish in its vast blueness

I’m an unbound bird,

at liberty to descend down

at any unforeseen moment

In your abode, uninvited,

surprise u, embarrass you,

you can never expect

U appear shaky to see a girl,

I enjoy your hesitation,

fear in such trifling matter

like a tortoise retracts,

pulls back its neck

from an impending danger

Feelings stacked up in heart,

no wish to express in words,

can’t reveal to others

but you’re under surveillance,

I do keenly watch you,

even if you don’t bother

Your upright posture,

a brisk walk, matching with

a clarity blended character

a delicate rosy heart,

precisely visible, pumping

underneath your chest cover

No straight look, nor try to locate,

fresh pimples on my cheek,

which others very often do

you ignore my inconsistency,

not concerned, never revolt,

I get agitated inside for u

How much steam to let off,

with this sort of conduct,

causes a lot of discomfort

I endure the treachery,

ample injustice with me,

and feel genuinely hurt

Through my hot breath,

wish to express d’ warmth,

what is it called not conversant

But this much I could know,

whatever you name it

it’s only a matter of heart

Dear homo sapiens, do remember

Relished d’ advantage, comfort,

now put up alarming allegation

sobbing, sulking polythene said,

“blame me for environ pollution”

I’m spoiling your surroundings,

need tobe out rightly discarded

I never arrived here on my own,

for your utility, you had created

Now deceptively announce me,

unwanted, unneeded, hopeless

a stuff of negative discussions,

u suffer, yet avoid my presence

Buyers earlier refused to shop,

if items not given in poly bags

now I’m given only dirty looks,

untouchable, unknown, useless

Once I reigned, it was my time,

pop up in many designs colours

Sellers busy in my frantic search,

to please their valued customers

From cycle brake to car cushion,

found everywhere, omnipresent

often used, misused or tortured,

never opened my lips to object

All loved me, light and handy,

congenial to carry boiling curry

hot tea, cold milk, butter milk,

pained me a lot, I never worry

Not even spared in long tours,

if a guy has a motion sickness

securely vomits in to my belly,

drops me in a secluded place

Use to dispose off rotten items,

tinted to spot d’ different waste

twist my neck, put a tight knot,

I struggle to tolerate to my best

Often hung from bicycle handle,

pitiable, like a parentless orphan

to carry live fishes to aquarium,

cover d’ head in a drizzling rain

After the ban, cruelly discarded,

now an agent causing pollution

am I the only one responsible?,

no one gives any consideration

Forgot your industries, factories,

fell trees to erect d' skyscrapers

concrete jungles, motor vehicles

garbage scattered here and there

Holy shrines do noise pollution,

d’ sewage pollutes potable water

on stubble burning, smoke clouds,

d’ Governments have no control

Easy to curb the docile polythene,

other rogues, beyond your whips

to do away with me is only urgent,

rest all pollutant, a political speech

Soon I’ll get extinct, but miss d’

company of hot idlis & sambhar

For your welfare,

ready to sacrifice own existence,

dear homo sapiens, do remember
