With a critical mind and sorting bin, Ready to dissect with iron will, Summoning the mighty judge within, Merciless to faults, picky about skill. . Each word and deed inspected with ardour, Leaving no room for reckless mistakes, Customised law books used with fervour, Unmindful of the victim’s heartaches. . Harvesting outcomes with precision, Playing…

The deafening sound echoed high and low, Choking footprints of faith and confidence, Apprehension besieged, rendered a blow, Throttling the vestiges of her essence. .  Social commandment, crippling, deep-rooted, Banished her merit as a close second, Taunting her aspirations, vile, ill-suited,  ‘Sheltered domestic domain’, it reckoned. .  The yearning deep, surfaced recurrently, Rescuing her from…

No matter if the sky is overcast, No matter if the sun is cloaked in black, No matter if the earth is dry and tar, No matter if the trees are grey and stark. .  We can still infuse  the drained canvas, With green kernels of flickering hope, With red songbirds of passionate zest, And…

Her mind was a pristine gallery, A catalogue of shiny data, An unforeseen storm blemished the sheen, Coating the contents with cloudy dust. . The fog settled on names and places, Blurring the vision of her mind, She meandered, lost in its alleys, Searching for hope’s light in the dark. . The hunt for misplaced…

Some words, like zephyr – soothing, reviving, Swaddles the heart with redolence of Spring. Some words, like brook – sparkling, fuelling, Heartens the spirits with mellifluous tunes.

Social butterflies by facts and figures Our mercurial temper, shifts and sways We love, like, laugh, cry and get angry All in a matter of a few seconds. . Fickle followers, we proudly display Number of friends another few hundred Smile for a smile, block, unfriend when we like Absolute freedom, sans taxing contracts. .…

Hurry now, retrace your steps Before the moment slips away Don’t leave room for mocking regret Your sanity’s first, don’t you forget. . Hush hush, hear love’s silent footsteps Turn right around, don’t see its face If you let its sweet words serenade You’d be a captive in the crusade. . Enslaved, you will chant…

Sunny rainbow on cheery faces Effervescence dissolves folds of doubt Hope Spring cushions craggy spaces Jubilance shimmers on teeming route . Grey clouds eclipse naive ebullience Blowing out lambent sprightly hope Ruby, Lilac, Plum fade in brilliance Steadfast anguish labours to cope . A kaleidoscope of hues and seasons Ever-changing, the whimsical pattern Empathy furthers…

Don’t swarm the streets With grey placards Don’t beg for justice Against the act Don’t shed no tears Don’t mourn her death She was just a woman A piece of flesh! . Don’t lament the sight Of her battered form Writhing in pain By the cold roadside Don’t rage in vain For her charred remains…

I summon distant, jumbled words Tucked like islands in creaky brain Dodging my strikes, they inflict pain I pray for wisdom of  the nerds . Taking pity, they queue in herds Inspiring me to frame a chain I summon distant, jumbled words Tucked like islands in creaky brain . I dream of thoughts flying like…

The flames of rage spiral and soar Tainting the terrain with dense fumes To satiate its scorching core It burns down structures numerous Settling a lofty victory score. Exhausted with the taxing drill It craves a truce, fatigued and sore Its dying embers, fenced by tombs Parched and defeated evermore. . About the poetry form…

Her songs still echo, traversing decades Our lively chatter embraces my…

O, blue enchanting paradise You’ve cast a spell on me My buddies mourn their sacrifice Could you please set me free? . O, bewitching azure treasure The fountain of delight Your news feed devours my leisure Sedates my will to fight . O, beauteous kingdom of bliss Your red icons allure Your temptation hard to…
