son-of-a-bitch



Jostling down the lanes,
criss-cross the busy morning roads.


I am on my way back home,
a triumphant moment after drop-offs.
Check-list runs in my mind,
one down ,many to go..


Time to switch the gears n mode,
office awaits with its own agenda.
The familiar faces and greets,
Hi and hellos, byes n see yous.


The signals ahead seem like a under spell,
many a heads turning, many a legs slowing.
A mixed ratio of both clans,
being held back by something I miss to see..


And then I reached the 'Chosen' signals,
oh yes,  it does turn the heads n  rein the legs,


It isn't easy to say
what was the reason..
the ravishing ,comfy, power-filled bike
or the one controlling it by the horns..


the signals go green,
he revs it up..
Or as my son would say,
he pumped up his pistons or
busted its boilers..


And in a blink,
it was bygone,
leaving many a envious
many a mused..
 
And then came a perfect expression,
in a perfectly right pitch,
A very impressed teen yelled,
What a son-of-a-bitch!!

Purple watch


She walked in with elegance
Confident and well groomed

Sat in a chair opposite to me
Carefully she places her
Smart blue purse, shiny and latest..Ted-baker
She reaches her mobile, streching her hand
And through the sleeves of her well ironed blouse
Shines the purple watch

Fastened steadily on her left wrist..
She takes a notice of my glance,
Smiles a smile almost addictive
I can’t help or move my sight
Her composed self, confident looks
Her perfect sense of style and elegance
Leaves me amazed and inspired

My gaze is cut short by a soft voice
Calling the lady by her name..
For its time for her to see the doc..

 She reaches for the chair's arm,
Picks up her shiny purse
Flashing her purple watch one more time..


With her legs failing her,
She holds on to the wall,
I reach out to grab her hand,
She respects my gesture for elderly,
But politely says' thank you dear, I am good'

This ripe age,
doesnt dampen her spirits,she lives
dignified,fashioned and poised..
I am amazed and inspired by her
Self-pride her confidence ..

To grow older is inevitable,
to live old is optional....!!!
