BUSY LOVERS' GUIDE - MUD-HORSE HEROES

I used to scribble always
since my college days.
a few of my close friends
used to ghearo me often
urging me to write
in sweet terms, love letters
running to pages, all trash
to decoy their innocent lovers
posing themselves as literal master

Likewise, I had sinned several times
and with borrowed bricks, cement and mortars
all were thriving high and fast
but riding always on the mud, dumb horse
giving no chance to the other-side
of the chain of foul plays involved

But, I must be the most worst idiot
with so much own skills at my command,
and tested abilities of roping in a ‘heart'
of services rendered and
the dividends they reaped -
I did not shore up
a Dolphin for me.

Those guys who went
ahead with marriage
secretly, confessed to me later
that their wives were
much more wicked
not even to detect till -
that their youthful, winning husbands
were real big zeros.
