There is a lot to earn if you learn
To let in art inside your heart
And never rush, for you may crush
Or just scramble everything apart!
You get thematic if you’re mathematical
And never sick if just physical
But remember that every member
Of an actuary can’t act theatrical!
Poetry, we know, is strong
And you may rue if you’re true, but truly
The ‘if’ in life does no wrong
Quite unlike the bull in bully!
Spring can ring in a lusty time
Of courtship that is ours
And if we don’t rime with crime
We’ll find a new high in bars!
No ape or goat in a scapegoat
And there’s no car in scare
An inner voice floats in afloat
To make the word seem fair!
Words too then have a life within
They wait until they’re called
And then get drunk when origin
They find, with gin, installed!

My dear Arvind, I'm a big fan of YOUR Well Converged, self creative instincts which are invariably very WELL HARMONISED and brim full of accumulated possibilities and probabilities of Life and reflective of TRUE Sence of CREATIVENESS between your EARS……..which probably ONLY a FEW Desciplined INDIVIDUALS like YOU Possess. Your TREASURE seems to be Immaculate with distinct Precious JEWELS.
Am too poor in typing and it takes me hours to scribe a small note even and have to scroll/ search the alphabets like a 007 Bond – never tried my hand on it,which now seems quite inadequate and embarassing at times,since am not able to respond everyone and always.Am not quite compu savvy too and keep fumbling at times…… And Shall always remain a Learner in distint avenues of life.CHEMISTRY of Life appear to be so perplexed with so many prfixed notions that sometimes it becomes difficult to wriggle out…..Long Time No SEE ? How's dearest specky ? Learnt U had a pleasant trip to UK…VERY NICE….CHEER UP and keep resolving the Creative and Inspiring Divesities of Life.
I Sincerly appreciate your SUPERB miraculous and immaculate efforts and HATS OFFFFFFF to you for aiming to achieve the FINAL DESTINATIONS……..Your Inner Voice and all other articles are Mind Blowing…….A REAL GREAT POET in YOU….a HIDDEN TREASURE of which we were caught unaware…..OUR Best WISHES to YOU BOTH and Of Course for Pushkin too…… anita , eshita & billoo bhai.
