Third Wheel

Here is one of my early poems that I wrote way back in my college days. 



I thought we were happy with a 2-seater,
But then you got bored and wanted to upgrade her.

Was afraid to let it go,
'Cause it took a while to balance so.

You were so fond of the new style and design;
I thought to give it a chance and stop the whine.

Slowly and slowly we got hold of it,
Started loving the mobile every bit.

We went to places that we never knew,
Created amazing memories- red, green, yellow, black, white, and blue.

Then all of a sudden something took a backseat;
One tyre busted in the scorching heat.

Scared that repairing this will cost you money and time,
Took hold of the new 2-wheeler and continued the regime.

Was alone with the rubbery mass,
But kept on working to make it outclass.

You went on with the new roller by your side,
And I went on to build my lost ride.

Fond of your latest 2-seater ride,
How you forgot about the 3 seater which was your pride.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
