TO A LAPTOP COMPUTER
O light laptop computer, listen:
You, who have seen my visions and thoughts,
Are helpful, like a pen to a poet
Composing the poems from my heart
Designing presentations from my head
Saving text, photos or even voices
Storing myriad files I impart
Showing vivid videos, satisfying my eyes
Airing magnificent music, soothing my soul
Listen, light laptop computer
The mistress of modern word smiths; Listen!
You’re a valuable part of me, my profession, my life.
On unleashing verses
Cathartic…
As one draws images
Of vivid form
of sonorous sound
of striking sense
Cathartic!
The pulsating heart
Pours emotions
Sadness
Happiness
Excitement
Fear
Fright
Gladness
Euphoria
Yearning.
Whatever that bothers
Finds form
Or rhyme
And yes, rhythm.
As this expression this Sunday morn
Of reflection
Feeling heavenly grace
And mercy to
Scribble these words
And finding rhythmic relief.
Yes.
Catharsis!

Shinas Adventure
The thrill of
trekking the desert
The joy of seeing the serene lagoon
And finally, the excitement of catching crabs
…all these make one unique adventure
As the lagoon scurries roughly
Our feet and minds work silently
Finding these creatures inside running water
Finding relaxation amidst the placid milieu.
As the tide ebbs and flows
Our eyes and hands do a task
Searching and grasping these crustaceans
Till those assorted sizes find their place.
And the dawn witnesses such patience
Seeing how teamwork unfolds
Seeing how dexterous hands clasp
Seing how ‘catching’ crabs entertain.
