GET SET FOR THE GO

DON’TS’ will melt
And ‘DOs’ will
Blunt, 
Once you 
Get set for the hunt,
Once your weapons
Get ignited 
In the stables of
Tamed anger,
All the taunts will
Stunt,
Iron curtains will
Turn into
Innocuous ruse,
Once you glaze
Your blues
With your
Restive grunt,
Go-getters,
Go!
The twilight is
Turning bright,
Throbbing with
A gush of
Fresh hopes,
The tunnel
Impermeable thus far
Has become
Its own light…!

SUBORDINATION

A reticent stallion
With a robust backbone, 
Conversant with
The curves and cliffs of
Taxing expeditions, 
Always drew in 
The best bet …
One could opt for it 
Without too much of
Brainstorming 
And……….
Without causing 
Too many ripples or
Destabilizing Shake-ups
In the resource pool 
At one's disposal
