Competitive
Competitive
He had once liked me
Admired all my doings
But not always, my ways
Wanted to clip my wings
He had wanted of me
To act where he liked
My conscience told me
Do not just get hyped
I still was very sincere
Committed, true and plain
He believed in his agenda
Requisites down the drain
He discouraged me always
At time was prohibitive
For he may have thought
I was being competitive!

Insatiable
What we consider
And run after
Again and again
The insatiable desires
Knowing the insatiable
These are actually just
The momentary illusions
And we all consciously
Follow their path directed
With energy misdirected
With all esteemed wisdom
Are our follies of reason!

Intervention
When I cautioned you
About the repercussions
You said’ I was wrong
Moralising you by intervention!
You chose your path
In new found liberty
All your friends treated you
Like an available property!
Today you are shattered
Having lived like a prostitute
All your friends deserted you
Seek help like a destitute!
I feel bad for you
Cannot reverse the time
You alone can intervene
To set back the clock time!
Your determination will help
Forget past as bad chapter
Make a new beginning
Everything will come after!

Reality
Reality
She had always been a dear friend
Intellectual and lively companion
The old times now have changed
With those, she too has changed
Her smiles look so unreal to me
That used to be her trade mark
Her pleasantries now are formal
Those then used to be the real
She now converses with caution
Earlier there was no precaution
Hear dealings now are self-centric
That always used to get admiration
In spite of all of theses changes
I admire her ways and personality
She may have apparently changed
Warmth and the charm still a reality
