Who am I?

Define me?

Well…you can try..

You don’t know me for I don’t know myself yet..

Judging me? Go right ahead…

What defines me?

My clothes?

My music?

My work?

My responsibilities?

My children?

My family?

My city?

I am what I am...

Darker than you think

Stronger than you deem

Crazier than I let on

Shaper than you reckon

Weirder than is allowed

Cuss dirtier than a chamber pot

Facts for the Singletons

Hello!
 Now that I've started writing poems again..can't seem to stop! The inspiration for this one? Well..One of my single friends was bemoaning about the plights of 'singleness' the other day. That got me thinking about all the 'other' stuff being in a relationship will put you through.  So here it is!
**********************************************

In sickness and in health
I will walk with you
Your hand in mine..That’s our wealth
Letting you go? No can do!

Though in love we are and still falling
I guarantee we will fight
Nasty ones with name calling
Behave in a way that’ll make it a horrid sight

My Temper – Fearsome
You tongue – Acid in it’s purest form
My temper can make things gruesome
Your tongue will take the gruesome stuff and blaze ‘em

Us living under the same roof?
In concert: the devil and the deep blue sea!
The Lovey Dovey stuff will vanish – Poof!
‘Guilty as charged!’ That’s what we plea

I may scream “I’ll kill you!”
You may swear “Leave you I will!”
That’s something we’ll never do
Coz I’m to you and You are for me..the drug, the pill

But through it all, we’ll survive somehow
We’ll make up with a passionate kiss
Coz one will exit the fight with a bow
And the guilt ridden other will give argument a miss

Whatever we do..it’s with passion!
Be it love or fight
For this emotion, don’t reduce the ration
Without it nothing seems right!

Killing the passion should be a felony
So for all the singles out there
Finding your soul mate is not a destiny
It’s the beginning of a journey ..be prepared!

Assemblage of Pungent Creatures

Hello!
This one is dedicated to all the people in the world who are extremely critical of others and do not have the word called 'encouragement' in their dictionary. For our own well being, such creatures are best left ignored.
I feel they are the most pungent company one can have and hence the title!
*************************************************************

Am happy
‘Really?’ YES!
‘Always? Even when your day is crappy?’
Well..more or less

Its not coz of my luck
Nor coz I’m blessed
People around me treat me like a puck
they are nasty and totally messed

But hey!
 A lot can piss me off but nothing can put me down

I try something new
Someone says its crazy
I set goals for myself..very few
Someone else says I’ll go ‘woops-a-daisy’!

Whenever I need support
Why is that the naysayers are always around?
I never summon these jesters to my court
Yet they arrive unannounced, the bloodhounds!

But hey!
A lot a make me cry but nothing can put me down

I am at peace with what I am
and what I have
They say “Not good enough” for both. Damn!
It makes me want to rave!

Have to tolerate malice 
in the name of humor
Want to make them drink poison from a chalice
Want to cuss them till their ears hurt. but I just murmur

But hey!
A lot can make my Mad but nothing can put me down

Scattered Musings

Hello There,
It's after a long gap of what....16 years?  that I'm into writing poems again... Had written a few childish, embarrassing ones way back in high school! Didn't want to star with a mushy one...so here it is!
************************************
I live without meaning
Without rhyme
Without being
A penny for my thought’s or perhaps a dime?

What is my purpose I wonder
Why am I here?
Am I to travel a lifetime yonder
Or is the end near?

Tomorrow…no one has seen
Some claim they have..well, I disagree
We all know the has been
But never the to be

All the more reason
To live for the present
Coz the changer of season
Is not that lenient

Am alone in my Confusion
Am alone in my turmoil
Coz I cannot put it in words
The ocean of chaos inside of me

This will be the death of me
One day for sure
Lets wait and see
Or maybe they’ll find a cure?
