THE MOSQUITO



The mosquito;
A nocturnal insect of prey.
Night is its time of operation,
Its time of attack...
For as soon as Day runs away,
And Night unveils itself,
Out will come the insect of prey.

Its whine and whir,
Is alone enough,
To distress anyone of us...
And this is just icing on the cake!
For added to this nuisance is its bites,
Which are double the horror;
Of the sound it makes.

This insect of prey relents not,
Causing nothing but sleeplessness to us;
What an utter dismay!
The whole night thus will it be,
If it ever knew a thing as a brief respite...
Unless of course you take precaution,
Against this dreadful brat.

Now when you really think of it
One would hardly see any use to it
However God who created it thus
Must have made it for a known purpose
Though we humans will not see
Any use for this creature
Which steals sleep, naps and an occasional siesta

The Mosquito; Nocturnal Insect of Prey.

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness of Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
