Against All Odds 1


A man is bound to make for himself in the world; that fortune God refused him at his birth.
~Charles Dickens, (in the Nicholas Nickleby).

One has to create his/her living space; where none exists. Even if by improvising for some life comforts...We've to hustle with the bustle of life without resigning to fate.

A Long Wait

Before the birth of the night and the accompanying rain, The sky was in no pain; She was bold and all blue, Her evening dress clear and new, The clouds put up a happy show; Roaring thuds and fire flashes in a tow, She whimpered, Wind brewed and willows danced; Mother Nature stirr’d up her brood, Frogs croaked, worms wiggled and cows mooed; Palpable, so happy a mood, Swallows flit as the sky hued to nimbus; From the sweet orange and scattered yellow cumulus, Unwrapping scents of the rain on dry earth and the sun mellows, The muse lain with me on a heap of feather pillows, Hills and ridges fuddled all night as at the sea, Wide was the gulf between your lips and mine, my queen bee; Longing for the night, you’ll be unafraid of me.

The warmth of the embrace So taut Strangling, suffocating rubber Kegels, smooches and kegel. Taking a breath away Sweeping ones feet in a sway. Stolen, humbled, weary, dehorned... Pp-phew! The alluring dream fizzles out Unexpectedly. Desole! The poor sot soul Wakes to the chilly riverine breeze Buzzing quitoes, nibbling mice At the only skin The liquor couldn't save. Soggy, soaked in grime Emptied pockets Writhing in the sewer. He calls out to God That reality just got home. Passers-by can only look Across the foot-bridge Down on the wretch Clobbered, robbed and ashamed Of the isht it fell in...
