Life – A Race?
Life — A Race? Or is it a walk, a jog or a stroll? A sprint or is it — for the long haul! I wonder if it’s a race or — a maze? Well, for the amazed rat — it’s all a haze! Some choose not to be a part of this race! Some […]
The Most Paradoxical Thing In Life!
One of the most paradoxical things about Life in the 21st century is SOCIAL MEDIA. The more “connected” we are online, the more “disconnected and isolated” we are in real life. People have thousands of ‘friends/followers’ online, but have very few people on whom they can count in times of adversity or even celebration. Depression […]
She was my drug!
Well — I usually write long poems — but here are a couple quick short ones! Hope you like it! 🙂 Inside my shroud She came and wept, After realizing my love — And I was so selfish, that I kept my eyes closed — inside my shroud — She was my drug She was […]
The Random Poem
{ without rhyme or reason — and totally random } Random Poem Beginning this poem with nothing in particular, Randomly rhyming aiming for the spectacular, Trudging on a horse across the green meadow, “What is that I see?” Behold yonder grey shadow!

There is no ONE!
There is no ‘One’, you call a soul-mate, That perfect one — chosen by fate! When the stars twinkle, and the planets align — The moon’s at a crescent, and the fireflies shine! When you fly on unicorns, and bathe in the seas. You catch the rainbows, and cozy up the breeze. You traverse this […]

Ode To The Moon
Oh Moon! Thy light doth drown the nether stars, But the broken glass of my heart still glitters more, At times resplendent, at times morose, Oft gleeful and childish, sometimes mature How ‘lunatic’ of you? I have no clue! You change so often, so I can’t swear on you, Oh Moon! Show me your dark […]
Hope is Dope!
Where there’s dope, hope can’t be far behind, Their lives are entwined, as things often unwind, You hope for a good life, and if you don’t get, you dope! You dope into a quagmire, and the one who saves you is — hope! 🙂 — Jatinder Singh , the lousy poet © Written 12-Aug-2017 { […]
The Thing About ‘Words’!
The thing about words is — You don’t know which ones hurt, Once said they can’t be taken back, So — think before you blurt! They pierce and tear the frail heart, And gnaw the trusting — soul, They just don’t take small bites — But swallow it in — whole! And strangely it’s not […]
Don’t Hold So Tightly!
Dear — please don’t hold my world, So tightly in your pretty fingers. Your dainty nails dug in perfectly, Into the bottoms of my throb-less heart. But still – strangely — you look so endearing, Smiling — with red smeared on the tips, You wanted to slay me — and I — And I — […]
