After 15 years of hibernation, I feel an urge to travel light!...By letting out all that, That I in my 'Silence' bottled up inside. Some thoughts, some sketches, pictures & drawings...woven as poetry; the way I look at life.

Coco's ticks & tocks

Oh! I can hear it out-loud! "This Old Grandfathers -Clock!" But! Who put it there I wonder... This Tick that every time Tocks me out! From morning to evenings-nights There's this task master in my life Come to iron & discipline me out By the inner promptings of this clock; "Wake up mom wake up!" Oh! Let's go for our morning strolls...and after I've done my business; "Please make sure my food is served!" Oh! It's time now for a little siesta...and then once again our evening rounds... But before that, "Five-Forty PM", to be precise...I'll remind you of my "Soothing-buttermilk-bowl!" And as the dusk envelopes me in fatigue... Yet my babbi (just one of the love- names given to coco) keeps checking on me... By reminding me its past seven already... "Oh! Don't forget to keep my supper ready!" And if a few minutes pass Eight! Then this inner clock alarms me to remind I'm late... For though subtly he'll give me "Those stares" As this alarm keeps snoozing in the back. And after the night falls with stars And we've finished the last stroll of the hour, And off into Slumbering Dream; Only to wake-up to the ticks & tocks of life's-daily-routines! And as I'm grooming him out! That's the only time... "Ive heard this clock-ever-snore!" For given the choice to Coco He would so-love, this "Furminator (one of his grooming brush) In Time-Machine gets swallowed!" Ya! Sure, to most all this may sound as a chore... But having him, has brought... "Such Timelessness of Love!" Yet the fickleness of my mind... Does make me think... "Who-so-ever's, idea was it... To put that clock; In A Dogs Belly!" .
