Selected poems
50/50 rule will flaw you
Often a times I get ahead of my years
Just in case tomorrow never comes
I have flawed principles, missed priceless lessons
But if tomorrow never comes on my end, please live it for me
50/50 rule is not good enough to guarantee anyone a happy thereafter
Happiness is a different kind of cake
It demands much more than the bear minimum
To have it complete with icing, you have to work your ass off
I don't know how solid your assets are
But whether prince or princess, you still need a degree of charms
To keep them valuable without being frozen
A happy thereafter is much more than a life
Smiling together calls for much more than energy
Living together happily needs 100/100 rule to reign!
The will
If you can, keep this message with you forever
Because it represents part of my will
I know we are a cultured society that forbids
Ever talking about 'if tomorrow never comes'
But tomorrow is never a promise to anyone
I am not a billion-dollar man
Please don't expect to see numbers making statements here
Here I came a clean slate but you filled and fired me up
With memories I can only frame for you before I go
In unfortunate times I have banked memories of you
In exchange for courage and the will to keep pushing
I have checked with the best minds for your true worth
But right from the true north to the south
Non rightly balanced the equation of these golden memories vis à vis gold
I don't know how many times you will read this
But each time you do, always remember
I didn't go down with a godown of gold but a dozen of your memories!
The hard tackle with a soft hit
Sooner than later I will go out to take on the world
But even with my favourite jersey number
I can't get the confidence I need to tackle it
This has nothing to do with the sport I love
It has everything to do with the soft spot I'll fall back to for life
I have been warming up on the touchline for decades now
Yet the confidence to say I do has been elusive
My coaches have urged me not to put my many talents to waste
But I am used to losing as part of the game
How do I ever play when I can't afford to lose?!
I have been stroking the gym for a while now
In search for the oil to keep the fire burning
But deep within I am scared that one day
When I am
