He that undermines the power of Eloquence,
What do we call him, a coke without effervescence?
Flat and base as it might seem to be,
Yet isn’t that a proper analogy?
One might say, But what is a Bubble?
A mere drop of water escaping from trouble.
But lo! Do you dare forget Mr. Shakespeare?
We are all mere bubbles on this sphere.
Eloquence is like that bubble which when
Introduced to the Wine forms the Champagne.
The Wine undoubtedly is the real cause,
But doesn’t the Champagne add a gloss?
A propounder of Eloquence will tell you its need,
The Power of Eloquence to propel a deed.
A Deed in itself is a mere act,
Until the masses acknowledge the fact.
Such is the Power of Eloquence today,
That to succeed it is the only way.
Name, Fame, Glory and all,
Eloquence brings all in all.
Note: Written long long back... one of my first few poems.
Written in admiration for a certain man who was so good in talking... that you could listen to him for hours together in all genuineness and enjoy it. The man had other qualities too, but this was his most striking one, his way of expression. :-)
Why am I posting this today? Because I have nothing else to say... ;-)

A Deed in itself is a mere act,

@Ajit: Thank you. :-)
@Sushant: Oh that rhymes... I hadn't noticed that. ;-) I tell you, my obsession with rhyming... never mind. :-)
@Harshad: Thanks Harshad. And I just loved your blog and your poetry. :-)
@Lord Jim: Thank you my lord. Was written for pure fun. :-)
@Ashh: Thanks buddy... and over to your blog now. :-)
@Kazarelth: Well... I wish I could meet the person again. :-)
On the contrary, I see eloquence becoming a common virtue these days.
@Shams: Ofcourse I know its you Shammu. I have very few friends here, and it is urm.. difficult not to know everyone by their flow of words. :-)
hmmm.... 2 is the number with me too.. but I lost touch with one.
:-(
@Sharad Mathur: Thanks Sharad. I had a glimpse at your blog and your Amor was beautiful. I shall go back for a detailed read of the blog. :-)
@Rajeev: Come on Jeevy... you know its a child-like rhyme, written as a child. :-)
i dint read ur blog ..bt jus wanna say hiiii ..
:)
@nitin: Hello buddy! :-)
Koi naa yaar... waise bhi kuch khaas padhne layak hai nahi yahan :-)
No Its not! :)

Peace & Love

Wll one doest get to see this anyomore..and it is sure the way to sucess..must be a pleasyre to have such a pal man!!!
@rajeev: ahm ahm.... hmmmm. Modesty is a virtue I am told. ;-)
@standbymind: yes it was a pleasure, but he was not a pal... quite an elderly person. I know friendship has nothing to do with age. But what I felt for him was respect and admiration more than friendship. :-) But a pleasure nevertheless. :-)
Makes me think ! Its different. Philosphical understanding beautifully knit into words and questions.
It takes alot to understand spmeone's ideas that deep to create something like 'The Power of Eloquence'. You sure have both the arts !
