K S Gentleman

I was born on January 18, 1937, in India. I came to USA as a lawful immigrant in 1990. My wife came in 1992, and my five children (three daughters and two sons) joined me in 1996. Now we are all US citizens, well settled and happily married. I did my graduation with honour in English in 1956 from Dunjab University–India. I started my career in USA from Walmart in 1990 as a sales associate and got retirement in 2010 after having worked for twenty years. I have been writing poems since 1956. I love English literature, especially poetry. Among English poets, I like William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Keats, and Lord Byron, I’m a simple man of high thinking. This is my fourth book in publication. Lots of my poems had been published in the past from time to time and had taken part in various poetry contests.

TENSION FREE LIFE GONE

Days of living, tension free life, gone

Since when life’s terminal era in tone

Ah! Woe to time’s nod, how distressing!

Old age brought what fatal ailments unknown

Night’s sleep, day’s peace, all gone away

That’s why, these guys remain woe-begone

Heart biting depression’s obsession

Paralysing mortal frame to the bone

Where have gone yonder olden golden days?

Being torn apart, soul cries for its bygone

What’s once passed, never back again

Time never looks back, goes on and on

Heart comes to mouth when past remembered

And autumn in life is full blown

How helpless, lonesome, in life old man feels

Even his own kin’s heart turn into stone

Process of body function almost fails

Need for getting help to survive grown

Life seems burdensome to live furthermore

Those who once trustworthy turn self-prone

Those who bragged loyalty till tomorrow

In need, never knows where they have flown

Everybody kneels before rising sun

Unknown they are now, whom you were well known

Nobody’s trust worthy to believe

We come alone here and we go alone

Life is to perish later or sooner

Old age is worst of all ages ever known

There are folks who dare to bear old age shocks

For those who’re weak, they are living icons

Earthly cage gets unfit for breathing breath

Soul flutters to get out of the mortal zone

Old age is the most tragic period

Soul within tries to take off what’s put on!

RAPID SHOTS OF INCESSANT THOUGHTS

Rank and file

Royal style

All the while

Sing and smile

Son of the gun

Have a fun

Do not stun

Say to none

What is done

All well done

But don’t run

Come anon

Shrinking shun

Cuz its fun

Life short lived

That’s quite vivid

Open mind’s lid

Make sure you kid

Don’t get skid

Almost in mid

Time is short

World a resort

Man a tourist

Came on visit

When journey ends

Never extends

Inch by inch

Time inching

Pinch by pinch

Mind flinching

Second passing

Minute passing

Hour passing

Days passing

Week passing

Months passing

Year passing

Decade passing

Century passing

Millennium passing

Time passing

Passing passing

What life was

Indeed past

Not life is

In live present

Nor like be

In coming future

Cause that be

The law of nature

Law is a law

Without flaw

Where there’s injustice

That is mal-practice

No one ever happy

Cuz its carbon copy

Change is good if for good

Else its not, as it should

Life’s a game

Play sans shame

Fear from blame

It hits one’s name

It hits one’s fame

So needs to tame

Life’s a play

Play part play

Do not delay

Do not stay

Play is life

Stay demise

Love your life

Love your wife

Love your child

Don’t be wild

Can’t defile

Own profile

Can’t beguile

All the while

Family first

Else all rest

That’s the test

Come out best

Life is boon

Reap it soon

It’s short livid

Its that vivid

Don’t conflict

Get not addict

Merrily to come

Merrily to go

Money makes chum

The wild mare go

Being near the shore

Danger not ignore

Who whistle blows

Hush don’t expose

Do not forget

You have to get

Out, as the best

You must trust

Get self first

At will’s behest

If you pay heed

God will speed

Sow good seed

Also well feed

Soon it comes out

Wow! What a shoot

How well sprout

No doubt about

Out, out and out

Throughout and out

Till it fully grows

Into a blooming rose

Time to play flute

Sing sonorous duet

Do not keep mute

Its bearing fruit

Its wonderful time

Merry x’mas bells chime

Good life to every body

Long life to every body

We are all together

Thanking our God father

For ‘His’ blessing

Dancing glancing

Let’s play-halla-lu-jah

Let’s say-Halla-lu-jah

God is great, up to date

‘Tis ‘His’ tweet, do not cheat

Live with love

Submissive

No arrogancy

Kills innocency

Always yield

In life’s field

Never sticks

Often pricks

Be gentle

Not mental

Not sentimental

All detrimental

Be good to everybody

But not bloody bloody

Better mind study

But no huddy duddy

To help be ready

Stay firm and steady

If you have

Don’t show back

Be like a good man

Give others if you can

Never be proud

Yourself about

Speak not loud

Midst the crowd

Thundering cloud

Seldom rain

Man in the shroud

Feels no pain

As long as is life

Keep singing merrily

It’s divine prize

Live life happily

When the life gonna end

Nobody gonna extend

Whether your foe, or your friend

You must got to apprehend

Life to end

It will end

In second

Ere it ends

Mend your trend

For dividend

Then say bye

To all guys

Its tragedy

To leave body-

Cage of soul

In a role

For a goal

Hyperbole

Cage is mortal

Soul immortal

Cage to decay

On any day

Soul fly away

Without delay

So that be all

Of life we call

Soul, body and mind

When they all combined

Then comes into being

So called living being

Capable of doing

Whatever he wooing

Moving and grooving

Feeling and healing

Munching and crunching

Hearing and fearing

As that glows comes out of the mist

So that glow goes into the mist

But what’s that glow

Nobody doth know

It is an unknown mystery

Since very beginning buddy

And will remain unknown mystery

For all the time to come buddy

DEAD WOULD BE HE, WHO FORGETS ‘HIM’

Life is full of blessing

Thank God we surpassing

Life is one time gift

Won’t get again, if thinking

We have winsome world to see

Hills, sea and valleys charming

To cogitate, beyond earth

Have mind to accessing

We gonna move any where

Enjoy whatever bracing

Fire water, and air

Fresh food, shelter and clothing

We can sing, we can smile

Crave whatever we craving

All boons we have in life

Even fresh breeze to breathing

It would be death to forget

God father’s benign blessing

He made us like ‘His’ image

Let’s not this we forgetting

Like ‘Him’ let’s hail others

By bracing, gracing and embracing

It’s so easy to know God

Through love, long and tracing

He is every where in the world

No run around chasing

Just get lost in yourself

And you find ‘Him’ facing

Material wealth have no worth

Except mind harassing

Love not wealth for mental health

Its possession keeps depressing

No bliss without ‘His’ worship

What life sans ‘His’ name possessing

Shed tears in love for ‘Him’

Atonce answers love calling

Them ‘He’ always remember

With ‘Him’ in love who falling!

GOD’S CREATION

God created creation how perfectly

No one can describe it precisely

It is like huge magic mirror

Reflecting reflection accordingly

Different viewers have different perception

And they view reflection differently

It is the mind who gives cognizance

Else mirror is same for every body

Happy man looks happy, cuz looks happily

And sad man looks sad cuz looks sadly

There is no dearth of boons in God’s creation

On-lookers should set channel mindfully

A happy mind find happiness

Instead of being sad why not be happy

God gives the same mirror to every body

Its for them to see gladly or sadly

Look at the heart how wonderful device

Work day and night non-stop regularly

What to say of mind, head of body

Its importance self-explanatory

Mind of man made him image of God

Its part to world progress is exemplary

God left no stone unturned to make world fit

For living everything on earth nicely

It’s our moral duty to worship God

Who gave us life to live merrily

INFATUATION BREEDS DISTRACTION

Live in the world but don’t get fixed

End of the day, all be gonna mixed

Infatuation breeds distraction

Beware of its web, else be ditched

He who craves not for mundane riches

By their tinsel glare seldom bewitched

What can worldly pleasures seduce mind

Who knows if yielded, hard to be flinched

Better it is to stay at an arms length

Than to live closer and to get pricked

Sincere fellows are seldom found

There is no dearth of crooked and wicked

Not worth while to be a friend of all

Be a friend of few than to skid-amid

What looks static in fact changeable

Those who seem healthy wealthy are morbid

People are selfish and hypocrite

Even fools ass they gonna be kissed

Remember God if you are grief’s under siege

May ‘He’ smiles down upon you to get rid

Trust ‘Him’ whenever you are in danger

Whoever counter you him ‘He’ out did

‘He’ is universal authority, wanna see?

Keep open your ears eyes and mind’s lid

God is omnipresent not beyond reach

Look in yourself by making earnest bid

Live simple, think high and be humble

Greet others not being rigid and frigid

LIFE’S NOT A WIN WIN BATTLE

Win or lose, but there is no excuse

Life is battle, no one let it loose

Battle starts from mother’s womb and ends

When soul flies towards the sky blue

There is no favour in anyone’s lot

Law is same for all, sans pick and choose

Mundane attraction won’t let it live in peace

May try to ignore it in lieu

No one ever won the battle so far

It’s not win win battle, it got to lose

Vicissitudes in life are endless

The more you counter the more they accrue

Fighting battle on the field of mortals

No one shield oneself from cuts, wound and bruise

Out come of the battle is horrendous

Yet it’s to counter not to refuse

Illusionary minds never die

Although living beings kept dying anew

Defeat is living beings to get lost

Better die fighting than to subdue

Jiffy jiffy life reaching towards end

Soon time pass away whatever due

In life’s battle don’t think all’s settle

Keep fighting as long as is breath, pursue

BEHOLD MAN’S HELPLESSNESS

Day and night, man craves for happiness

Keep yearning and burning without success

Whole life wanders to and fro for peace

Where he thinks be found nothing but mess

Where there’s nothing their he must behold

Where that is, he looks not, cuz of foolishness

Happiness lies open within heart

But he understands not being under stress

Real happiness just a thought away

If he dares, come out of mind’s duress

Don’t worry about death’s onslaught

Death’s nothing but changing of soul’s dress

If you are scared of your transgressions

Make confession, and get rid of distress

Eat, drink, think, love, like and live simple

Simplicity is divinity, God bless!

Get up early, remember Almighty

Feel fresh, look fresh with divine freshness

Happiness dwells the heart where in love flows

Grow love and enjoy true happiness

Life passing away in vain search of peace

Peace finds not, life long upsetness

Soul wincing, heart pinching, mind flinching

During death, behold man’s helplessness.

IRON WILL TO COUNTER ATTACK

What I got in my life’s
