Olympic flames

Olympic flames

A long way from
Athens to London
Way marks signed with
Tears and fears,
Unconstrained - unfettered
Irritating fear with terror
With swollen arms
And broken limbs
Ruptured toes
Moving forward and backward,
"Coward!" call up on tail-enders
"Encore for coming to the fore,
The world was shocked
Raise one's eyebrows
By a micro second
Brushing the lips against
Bronze, silver and golden
Behold comrades,
For swindlers in a flash
Get their golden in to ash
Courage, confidence blooms
Concentration, conscience grows
and challenge the three fates
Where the Olympic Flame fame's

Precious Past

Big gang of friends,
Colourful uniforms,
Silly fights,
Friendly teachers,
Group photos,
Combined studies,
Never ending PT periods,
Rocking annual days,
Group discussions on anything & nothing
So many hands in a single lunch box,
Remarkable mistakes,
Lovable tours......
School life is just heaven.





Becoming a statue....

Becoming
 a statue....  

Becoming a statue.......
Becoming a statue
Once I thought
To become a "Wordsworth"
I expressed my feelings
They Said, "How dull they are"

Then I thought
To become an "Einstein"
I did experiments
They said, "Useless"

I will then be a "Nightingale"
I did my best for them
when they got well
They said, "What an unkind face" 

I wept and wept
I thought to become a..... "what"
They showed me "Heaven"
I chose the way

My mind is in slumber now
I am as still as a statue
They come in the darkness
And say, "How pretty you are.......!"
