MJ-Gone too soon

The king of pop has gone
Yes, he was the one

For me he was good
only when in mood
but millions did not find it odd
to think of him as god
I never ceased to be amazed
to see the crowd dazed

I am feeling sad
though I never was mad
Michael Jackson!!!!
"You've Gone too soon"

Murtuza Khetty

Here is a poem that a friend of mine wrote

Murtuza Khetty
Is a Gujarati
With a childhood in Bengali
And grown into a Bangalori.

Courteous, soft spoken and patient
He heads the organisation
Works 24x7 deadlines to reach
And still find time children to teach

A head full of ideas
A heart filled with desires
He works hard to achieve
But prefers as desires to leave.

“I have lost my EPIC”says he one day.
That’s not surprising, his colleagues say
His table boasts a clutter
That few can match or better.

“Wedding bells for me never
I propose to be single forever.”
Don’t ‘feel like” he proclaims
None has yet set his passions aflame?!!!

“I take care of myself”,to me he told.
But, headaches, backaches and colds
Are his ‘chaddi dosts’
Prides that he can fast
Even when Ramzan is past.

He loves pasta and ice cream
Loves to travel and dream
Lets hope inter alia
That he finds his Belle Italia!!

An Ode of Gratitude

This is a poem a friend wrote for me...

“Write a poem”, in natural tone
You said to me thru’ the phone
Though with awe I do respond
A POEM and ME!! Not so fond.

Lying down with my plastered leg
I searched for a theme for your blog
Slowly like clouds, pieces gather
With magical words put together.

I fear my poem shall be lost
In the crowd of blog it may rest
All my feelings close to my heart
I am jotting down with sincere note

Is it Affection? Gratitude? Or Fondness?
I asked myself in deep stillness.
Many a time I feel I’m grateful
But I feel it’s a mixture of all.

Putting others before yourself
Giving time and smiling help
Expecting nothing in return, you act
Rarely seen, it is a fact.

For all the help you showered so often
With a sincere heart and feelings plain
I thank my God for giving a friend
And let the bond flow till the end.
