December Sunrise
December Sunrise
Like a soothing warm quilted gold comforter
Glowing rays of sun extend higher and higher
Countless arms ready to fold and hold to heart
Beckoning shivering masses at dawn’s new start
Like a cheery glowing angel of light bright
Sun unfurls its golden wings on snow white
As icicles like sun catchers shimmer bright
And the winter’s white garment is set alight
Heartened at this dispel of night’s gloom n cold
Life quickens bravely emerging suddenly bold
Hustle n bustle and rustle for foraging to hoard
Making the most of this gift of light’s early goad
Night and day, light and dark join in a fray
One to freely self spread, other to give it way
Such is life also with countless joys n sorrows
One may have its day in sun, other a tomorrow
There is a reason for a changing season
Rite of passage, wait to bide or burgeon
Time to plough, sow, tend and then mow
Spring summer fall winter thus ever flow

Lover's Hiss And Kiss
Lover’s Quarrel
Mad And Red
(Bina Gupta)
Go, go away, let go of my hand
Leave, you always misunderstand
Your words have gravely wounded
You’re ever needlessly confounded
Weepy tear stricken she said
Puffy cheeks eyes smudgy, red
Mad at his thoughtless stupidity
He wonders how to woo rapidly
Trying to make up, give her a kiss
She rebuffs him, his irate huffy miss
This lovers’ tiff n tug of war goes on
As he kicks himself for being a moron
Being hot headed he had hurt
His love was now angry and curt
Finally he admitted he was jealous of
Her past boyfriends red faced he blurts
That was my past, you are my present
Only you reside in my heart do not lament
I have never questioned your past my love
Why rake up dead n buried ashes my dove

Blue Lover Tries To Make Up
Singer: John Denver
Leaving On A Jet Plane
I’m … I’m …
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I’m …
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I’ll tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times that I won’t have to say …
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
But I’m leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane

Lovers After Patchup
Rosy Happy Pink
Heart To Heart
With my love…
(by bina gupta)
Take me by the hand
To love’s wonderland
Where there is only
You me and love
Tutor me in love’s alphabet
Rhymes out of love’s diskette
Dancing head to head toe to toe
Exhilarating salsa n sexy tango
Let’s go board lover’s jet plane
Find rainbows from windowpane
Jump on clouds hopscotch on stars
Share exuberance and tingling love
Let’s concoct and sing our own rhapsody
Lilting music and a tantalizing symphony
Absorbing lovers lament, a soothing melody
Find our own love elixir, a personal remedy
Make love by hearth of our crackling fireplace
Share warm blanket and a pick me up to brace
A plate of favorite food and chocolate ice cream
Lips caressing stilling tremulous satiated screams
Take me by the hand
To love’s wonderland
Where there is only
You me and love

College Collage
(picture from internet)
College Collage
Reminiscing down reminiscing lanes
Sweet and sour hilarious song refrains
Waltz steps in the head as moving trains
Hula hoop, twist, tango, cha-cha, rumba
Beatles, Elvis, Cliff Richard, Paul Anka
All vying and jostling to get first number
Unbridled by jr. school and family
Away we went to college merrily
First flush of youthful beauty blooming
And in mind and body curiosity looming
A new world unfolded before our wondering eyes
A paradise replete with moths, colorful butterflies
Dandies, nerds, geeks, freaks, addicts n prima donnas
One eyeing, other vying, some defying and few flying
Some attracted moths chased us and some we chased
Easy on eyes bodies appealed and onwards time raced
Fearing disdain hit by cupid’s arrow, my first crush
Sweet Adonis was he with a roving eye much too much
Movies, bunking, college canteen and other swinging joints
Seaside beach parties, musical sessions, startling viewpoints
As newbies during our first year standing hours outside the loo
Misguided by seniors for it to be principal’s office much to our rue
Sheepishly crept home vowing never to be taken for ride
Savvy, had a ball, bunking n studying, taking all in stride
Kleptomaniac, potheads, nymphomaniacs, lovers all were there
Had fun, sans experiments, enjoyed college became more aware
Reminiscing down reminiscing lanes
Sweet sour funny hilarious song refrains
Waltz steps in the head as moving trains
Hula hoop, twist, tango, cha-cha, rumba
Beatles, Elvis, Cliff Richard, Paul Anka
All vying jostling to get a first number

Between The Sheets Unglossed- new perspective
between the sheets unglossed- new perspective
opened book of life
found
self
a grandmother
a mother
a wife
a daughter
a child
a newborn
as life waxes
it wanes
time same!
As I grew
Life span shrank
withdrew!
As I bloomed
I was step
Closer to withering
As the sun rises
It was a step
Closer to setting
Such is life’s conundrum
Maker’s mystery thus spun
Be it grief or joyous fun
Knowing in my heart
This is the ultimate truth
I carry on, it understood
Hold my soul
Like water in hand
Without spilling out of hand
Happy
Spreading joy
I am HIS toy
As HE cranks my key
I sing n dance accordingly
Out of steam, I’ll cease to be
Win or lose
It is all a chess of life’s game
At the end King n pawn retire in box, same
Life thus endures, as we endeavor
to endure it with grace…
my voyage of self discovery is still on…
*** **** ***
BETWEEN THE SHEETS – UNGLOSSED – Old perspective
Between opposing sheets hard
Lie a whole mess of wordy shards
Some pungent, some repugnant
Some cloying, some buoying
Some boisterous, some vociferous
Some malicious, Some sagacious
Some pernicious, some capricious
Some reminisces, some winces
Some piercing, some ferocious
Some precocious, some innocent
Some gentle like mom’s mantle
Some hard like teacher’s stern ogle
Relations that boggle
Some curdle
Some inane
Some insane
Some shallow n vain
Some we dare disdain
Some we have to tolerate
Some help n hurt
Some confide n subvert
Some change over time
Some shifty sands
Some slippery eels
Some greasy wheels
Some weasels
We pick a few here n there
Mix match n ignore
Some reject or get rejected
Some deject some are cruel
Some we still care about n knowingly
Are glutton for their punishment
Masochistic- yet realistic
We are all slaves to our needs
Weaknesses, goals, aspirations
And striving respirators until
Expiration. release from
Self invited bondage
All residing between
Sheets
Silken
Tensile
Tough
Blood ties or not…
between the sheets
of life
in book of
lifespan
of self
Life thus endures, as we endeavor to endure it with grace…
(pictures from internet)
my voyage of self discovery is still on…
