Declaration

I am, what I am
Don't want to be judged
You hear me right
You hear me loud
I am a complacent
not carved to tout
of my achievements in the past
and my life at present
I am, what I am
who resting on her laurels
Do you have a problem??
With my life and my style 
Do you have questions??
Why I never get riled
of staying at home
I would say
I am blessed
One soul out of rest
who living her life
a happy mother and a wife
I am what I am
who don't work for living
for the status or fame
I work for my family
And my passions 
flaming inside
and keeping me alive
in this world of dry and deads
where every other soul
playing very hard
corporate race games
but me one lucky soul
No office to go
No early morning hurry
to get ready in time
No deadlines meet worry
No boss who will whine
I work when I want
I won't when I don't(want to)
No matter what happens
I am not really forced to
work for overtime
raises and appraisals
but I work out of 
sheer love for my family
who pays me in love
and needs me very badly
as I am one and only
whose replacement 
can't be found 
My profile is unique,
accustomed and astound
No one can hire me
if you dare to fire me
instead I bag 
"Best mommy in the world"
Award everyday 
My menial looking services 
worth beyond your afford
My house is my firm
where no one to decide
but me on my terms
My working hours
My salary 
24*7 in love
My worth My work
Can you really snub??
I am what I am
Don't want to be judged.

My hello to Mr Phoney



This imaginary poem is about the everyday hypocrisy we see around us and sometimes in us. Introducing an imaginary person named Mr Phoney and certain phony moments from his life.


His cacophonic clamor 
praising myriad of gods 
his list of God 
is humungous
 maa Durga lives in heart 
He reckons to be "religious"
My hello to Mr Phoney 
who killed his daughter 
in womb 
yearning for a boy 
will save him from doom
Demon disguised devout 
say yes to female foeticide 

(He deeply revere the female Indian goddess maa Durga but he loathes a female child and doesn't want one)

2 cleaners visit daily 
to give his house 
a virgin girl look, 
looking for a mate 
who is ready to date 
He reckons to be "immaculate"
My hello to Mr Phoney 
who painting the roadside 
of red tobacco spits
 watering the walls
 overtly pissing outside 
Critter disguised citizen
Litter is his bride


Sunday mornings hurry 
so much to do 
religious discourse waiting 
late for his dating 
with a girl named "values"
He reckons to be "scrupulous "
My hello to Mr Phoney 
who lying on the phone 
pseudo promises 
pseudo praises 
who cheating on his wife 
Adulterer disguised husband
 eating ethics from his life

Day was yesterday 
saw him holding
a banner saying loud
"whipping your wife,
 a greatest sin in life"
He reckons to be "innocent"
My hello to Mr Phoney 
your better-half 
looks no better 
a banner hardly battered 
a walking ghost in night 
she is a horrendous sight
Despicable disguised spouse 
eager to hit and fight

Chastising and rebuking 
his one and only bloodline 
spanking and flogging 
for the pencils 
his blood stole
He reckons to be "fair"
My hello to Mr Phoney 
an owner of 
harrowing childhood 
stealing his taxes as adult
and finding faults in others
Monster disguised father 
anywhere overtly insults .

Meet my munchkin


My world with him, can be framed 
as if zoo goes whacky and wild.
All animals can be found in one,
permit me to acquaint my conspicuous child.

Sound sleep interruption, is my pet peeve
as my meerkat rises, early in the morning.
Eyes open wide and upright position,
giving you some kind of robust warning.

It's time to get up, my dear mom
or you know better, I'll bean my body.
Falling very hard, on your face 
and waking you up all dizzy and groggy. 

Growling and grunting, groaning and roaring
my bear on two legs, commence his day.
Relentlessly hunting, for his hidden treasure,
a vagabond and his awkward gait.

Scouting, searching and rapid scooting
staring and scampering to his target.
My tiger strolls myriad of toys, 
snarling and growling on the grass carpet.

Superfluous clambering, up and down.
For him couch is not the limit.
My monkey masters, any art anticipated,
neither he gives up nor he remits.

My sniper fox, walking stealthily in the kitchen,
loves to sneak around.
Flying onion peels and scattering platter,
he is busy in pound and hound.

Can be spot sometimes, under the table,
his treasure is all lurid scattered litter.
Like a slimy surreptitious, serpent does,
he slithers and he skitters.

Locking his desire, in brain and his eyes,
no matter if love birds( him and his desire), sitting miles apart.
Chirping twittering and flying so high,
persistence will bless him, what occupies his heart.
