In smoke



My joy went up in smoke,
It was hard blow and stroke
 Someone had tried to blow
 To interrupt the smooth flow

 I shall go down
 May be mistake of my own
 She can think and form opinion
 Alas! It was short and sweet misinformation

 I must confess and not argue
 She is right in her view
 How can one over look sentiments?
 She has every right for resentment

 I shall not see her again
 As she has anguish and pain
 She may realize soon and think
 I had not uttered a word for her to ink

 She was best and intelligent
 Every word had impact to be sent
 How best she was at quick grasp?
 She had easy go at any task

 I may miss her forceful bye
 Even though I had made desperate try
 I know she might be may be broken into tears
 I too had apprehension with fear

 She represents whole of women's race
 her views are forceful in all the cases
 I have seen her making mad chase
Protest it in skillful manner in delicate phase

 I shall be careful in future
 even make it look doubly sure
 why some one should be made to feel bad?
We must give up little if that is the reason to feel sad

I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems.
