Poems old and new

The thrilling moments

The thrilling moments


Bill burst into bubbles of never ending laughter.
Life’s not going to be the same hereafter.

Monday morning rested and refreshed
Spruced up in grey and blue to the best,
Bill sat at his office desk, and logged in,
felt delighted beyond limits from within.

Whichever way he pressed the mouse
He saw good news and more good news to rouse
from months- long dormancy, inertia
to new horizons of hope stretching on to Myrtia.

He is getting published soon enough
Despite the struggle long and tough.
Childhood sweetheart said yes to wedded bliss
Bill leant in to give his Mac a hearty kiss.

Now as if that’s not enough, his mom’s
message said how the doctor has put to rest qualms
about dad’s suspected cancer of the esophagus.
Gods seem no longer malicious and capricious.

To make his life a paradise on this side of the earth
His boss at the Microsoft research center saw his worth,
posted him as head of Infoways, a new venture
in Paris, to a new life, money and adventure.

What else could a young man ask for,
when laughter and more joy are in store.

Move on Bill,
you lucky devil
live life at your will.
