a drop of work

work loads sometimes drop like rain

sometimes in drizzle, giving you time to think

giving you an extra minute to check

and a few seconds to re-evaluate

a fun time in the office

a little chat with your colleagues

a time to know whats going on

when the work load comes in drizzle

but sometimes the sun isn't always shining

and the work loads drop like storm

they come from every direction

making you dizzy and disoriented

stuck to your table 

can't spare a minute to chat

reports, graphs and letters 

all asking for your attention ASAP.

 

worry not my friend, the storm will pass

understand every reports, graphs and letters

don't let them come back to your table

because of a wrong punctuation mark

don't let the work load bring you down

work with enthusiasm and a smile

work will always be here to stay

just get your reward on payday

a line and a rhyme

a few years passed 

and i am still obsessed

in writing a line

that sometimes rhyme 

  

look for consorts

for the ending words

for the line to rhyme

and be a charm

sometimes they avoid me

and hide from me

they stay hidden 

until the line is forgotten 

oh! what a sorrow

if a word becomes a widow

   you cant find a partner

alone in the line forever

just write and write

until the words sound alike

let them be partners

and give them happiness

I have an idea...

sometimes ideas come pouring in

in time and places your not expecting

not a paper and pen in sight

your hand is full you couldn't write

a beautiful idea that is worth sharing

a great story line that needs writing

the trouble is you couldn't remember them all 

if a pen and paper is available

but once you have them again in your mind

another distraction is at hand

a question,  a call, or a friend

come barging in uninvited

oh! what a frustration

when an idea is in conception

the problem is you couldn't write

all the pen and paper in the world is out of sight

Monday morning...

monday morning sometimes bring the blues

a lonely feeling that stare at you

sometimes it last forever, sometimes just a second

but mostly depends on how you let it through...

a shower of negative emotions

a dash of boredom and despair 

a pinch of angry feeling

and you will have the bluest of the blue...

make it grow and it would ruin your day

collect all negative feelings and dump it in

you will feel a heavy burden

that would drown you with despair ...

monday morning sometimes bring the blues

accept it, smile a bit, that would help a lot

let the warmth of love ease your feelings

and let monday morning bring you peace instead...

A New Years Resolution

every year i made me a list 

of the things i will do 

and the things i will change

with a promise to fulfill it...

the list is not too long 

but not soo short

its mostly a count

from one to ten...

it would sometimes start 

with a negative feeling

and ussually ends up

with a positive note...

every start of the year i do this

but everytime it ends

i never look back  to see

did i accomplish a thing?...

im done with my list 

i know you have one too

you may have not written it

 a mental note would do...

look back a year ago

did you do the same

is the list the same?

oh! what a shame...
