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
