COME BACK, O LUCKY LOSERS !

O providential sufferers of  love !
Feel not vanquish'd, for, the victor is none.
Feel not ignored, for, the tender is none.
Watch your tears if they breach not the borders.
Let them not roll, for, cowards are losers..

True lovers flee not, or smolder in anger.
And a true love unchangeably expires never..
Value your love, and save it from the sinner.
Go not the brink, or you shall ache at leisure.
Endure the storm, or take a valiant dodger--
You shall pounce back to fame the storm blown over.
And learn : wane or win at the bid of life
Is an odyssey bound not for Recorder..
If loved, you're strong; if long'd, you are  improper.
Forgive your betrayer; forget her forever :

And remember --
One who's not happy in one home, cannot
be in another;
Pretense where a character, cannot you
be home together --
A strayer is always a strayer, but a fool
never a learner.

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry-- Whole drown'd in tears--be it night or day it be-- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry. (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?) But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does 'part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- N. P. SAMAL 

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
