I’ll Take Next
First Hour
I’ll Take Next!
I've come to the end of another career, no commendations,golden handshakes, celebrations or cheers. No one grabbed and hugged you, or said, "I'm glad you were here!" The hard work I did - forgotten, replacements already assigned, tenured but not weathered, but they changed their mind. "We'll get more bank for the buck they said, when we change the design." Where will I go? What will I do? They just sent a "pink" slip, but down the stairs, I just tripped. Protecting my flock from that which was cruel. The endless sleepless nights creating miracles, not always knowing what to do. I'm worthy of my calling, spending too much blood, sweat and tears teaching school! I heeded the call, I wrote reform to revise the text. Unappreciated, cast aside, underpaid and recommendations stalled, God knows I did my best! Whatever He has for me... I'll take next.

A Stolen Love
It wasn’t true
For both
But it was true
For a heart.
It wasn’t her heart
That broke.
It was the one that
Didn’t know they had
Met that did.
She was the only one
That was surprised
By our
Words.
She stole a heart
That had made promises to
Another.
And she didn’t
Regret it
For he was the moon
And she was the stars.
Outings
Companion,
Bedmate, faithful friend
Ever mindful of his dinner.
Walkies need taking
and unmentionables scooped
While ever straining upon a leash.
Unhinged
Nature’s unbinding
festers decomposition–
fresh, bloat, ruin, decay–
Autolysis—enzymes
do gorge tissue cells away
–vile putrefaction.
Rotting flesh, vulture’s
meat, nature now decomposing:
metamorphous, change.
Another You
I waited for you.
This image played in my heart.
My mind tried to take control.
But you never showed.
In your place,
Was someone with your name.
It wasn’t the same.
I painted you with a brush
Dipped in fantasy
And you walked in here
Painted in reality.
Unsure if I should give him
The heart I prepped for you
Or if I should
Continue this love
In my heart
Alone.
Sing a Song
Sing a song of genuine gladness
Cast away all gloom and sadness
And with all your heart’s delight
Sing away your longest night.
Sing a song of grief and sorrow
Fretting upon uncertain morrow.
To make the darkness bright,
Sing away your longest night.
Sing a song of forgotten memory.
Recalling a childhood only dimly.
So things will after all be alright,
Sing away your longest night.
When death now draws so near,
Join in a chorus of faith to cheer
And now focusing on the Light,
Sing away your longest night.
Hit Send
His eyes hold me,
Stuck between
Yes
And
No.
A breath away
From us.
One moment,
One kiss,
And then
He’s mine.
I cannot look away,
Our life plays in my head.
A movie, of forever.
All I need to do
Is send a message
And our future can begin.
Hopeless Case
I’m not built for this.
I’m a relic of another time.
Where love came in its way.
No, quick fix.
Loneliness
Was our fire.
Now, we are lonely.
In so many ways.
Access granted,
Passwords needed,
Time not required,
A swipe,
A click,
Edited pics,
And we’re in.
I cry a little
For my hopeless case.
An empty future,
A blank screen,
A game not played.
I’m over!
just me
Hello universe
I am Narinder. That’s what i call myself.
I am in India and myself
Writing is my form of meditation and the marathons are my connect to divinity.
Enjoy.
