Dear Men

Dear Men

Men, please be real,

If you feel,

Don’t make her your heal,

You never know, she too might have a nail,

Stuck in her feet that she never revealed.

Look into her eyes you will never fail.

Invest to know what made her pale.

Men, please be real.

You might see her walking on heels,

But deep down learn what she feels,

You might see her smiling and laughing with you,

In all lengthy walks and talks,

But try to see through her thoughts.

It might leave you spell bound at parts.

Men, please be real.

Nothing is a big deal,

So give up a little,

When you see her brittle,

Be gentle and get her warm water from kettle,

Sit next to her for a talk and cuddle.

Men, please be real

Get to know her zeal,

Before you own her, know what she feels

It is not about a day or two but a lifetime sail

With ups and downs, let nothing trail.

Let not the age peel away her glow,

Give her time and never a blow.

Men, please be real

Never forget she is just like you,

With all the emotions that trigger her,

By this world around that includes you.

Let her out of the jail of dictators,

Into the peace world, where she is a creator.

Whatever she might be for you,

She is first herself for her,

Treat her well for a life time treat.

My Runner

My Runner

Yes, I know you are a Runner

But once you become a runner up,

No one values you and your values,

But it’s not something that you wanted for yourself either,

Then why bother.

Yes, I know it’s not easy

To keep your eyes and ears closed,

And keep your heart and mind focused,

And yet run, My runner.

You remember when you were taught running,

You were taught only how to run and not how to win,

Then why has your focus changed in this particular run now!

For all you know, you are running now,

Yet a long way to go,

So don’t let your eyes to close,

Your hope to low, and

Your focus to dilute.

Yes, I know there are many ahead of you

But be happy that you too are in the race,

Although not with their pace,

Still, when you complete this race

Very much like others you have completely ran it through,

Although, a little late.

You might not get the attention of the crowd,

But you know, the crowd will cheer for anybody who tops the list.

They are not the judges, who grade you

It’s just the sound or noise that roars around the winner today and will die down tomorrow.

But it’s you who needs to grade and cheer yourself.

Yes, I know you can do this

May be you are not running ahead of the remaining,

But that does not mean you have not covered the distance behind you,

So cheer up for what you have behind you and keep moving forward,

Keep up the pace and don’t slow down,

Time will change.

Yes, I know you will do it J
