A beggar's account

Sober and thirsty
With flaccid muscles,weary looks
His tattered clothes resemble a crook
Distinct smelly,disheveled hair
Still he ain't drasty

With heavy steps
Begs for alms at each doorstep
It ain't that he's just refused
Made fun of,rather abused
With dreary looks,he still stands amused

Yet
He can't fight back
Self-respect,he's supposed to lack
Can't hum with the wind
To the warmth of the sunshine,he's blind

With so hard-earned bread
For him,every cent counts
At times,a tear or two he does shed
Thinking of those numerous accounts
Of miseries untold,dreams unfulfilled

Realizes the futility of his existence
A picture of human persistence
With an empty bowl as thy sole comrade
His journey seems to have just begun
With each rising sun




Unexpected Bliss

Lost in thoughts,I swirled
Caught a glimpse of the beauty unfurled

Her wet hair let loose
Blue eyes,a tint of haze did seduce
Her soft skin glistened
To her husky voice,every ear listened
Those dimpled cheeks,on it a radiant smile
My heart craved for her guile style

Ah! her slender waist as she swayed!
Her beauty,her glow seems never to fade
Red lips,so inviting,truly kissable
Like an angel,she's adorable
Her clothes,her beauty betrayed
A girl of class,not a jade.

On her,so many eyes feasted
Maybe with sultry looks,even she baited

T'was not what I expected
Not that I never intended
The way she pulled me aside,drew in close
With her eyes closed,seemed as if in pose !
With lips touching,implanted a wet kiss
All I could say t'was eternal bliss
Felt her warm breath on my neck
For onlookers,we didn't care a heck !

Tide of emotions rose and fell
As she continues to excite me by her spell
T'was a missing spark,I knew,I felt !
