Water of river

Water of river  

Flow is my life

frozen I die

stop only if dry

I have two banks

but no dollar or francs

More important than dollar

for you and me is water.

Mirror

Mirror

I see your face

and I show your face

but you cannot.

I  keep in mind

to never look behind

but you cannot.

The Fool

The Fool

Acts not per fundamental rules

could be the act of a fool,

Lacking the good sense, he stores
unwise things in mental pool.

Fool can't understand easily
the things, he is taught.

He doesn't do the things

in the manner, it is ought.

Of the things told to him,
he grasps very some.

Yet fool is not at all,
the ignorable person. 

Sometimes for entertainment  

you use mask of a fool.
Examples and stories of fools
you make the learning tools. 

Fool can be blind by mind,

foolishness is not his deliberate.
Being wise, you should not;
laugh at, but stand for help.

Clown and jokers also
replicate their role
perform comedy for amusement

and entertainment goal.

Needle

Needle

Me, the needle

can you ignore being little.

Knives can cut  and apart,

I can stitch and make a part.

Pet and gadget

Pet and gadget

My grandpa spent his leisure with pets

I don’t get time from my gadgets.

Busy in my gadgets till I can endure

leaving dear pets fully ignored.

Peeping a window

Peeping a window

              Part 1

From inside you peep out

from outside you peep in;

to see the desired scene

keeping you unseen.

              Part 2

I and my friend were peeping

Through the same window

Having heartful bliss getting

a glimpse of her or her shadow 

He did not know my deed

I did not know his deed

One day we got exposed

later window was closed

For him I gave up my desire  

for me he sacrificed his longing

Our first seed of love was buried

before growing to seedling.

Closed door

Closed door

Behind the door what does happen?

Behind the door  what is hidden?

Until any one's door is closed,

the things there, are not exposed.

Of privacy in life, the right I seek.
My friends want, the right to peep.
I keep my door closed for security
That enhances neighbour's curiosity.

Whatever is there, to make the pep

You cannot put forward the step,

onto the other side of a closed door,

unless you have the lien of yours.

If you want other's doors remain 

for you to step into, any time open;

Keep your door open for them,

who needs you and for friends.
