  • Dream’s flight

    Dream’s flight

    It flaps its eager wings Pirouettes Sipping a potion of  valour Erasing hurtful things Silhouettes Seeking radiance and  colour . It was caged for ages And silenced ‘Destiny’ branded on its coop All buoyant images Were distanced Coercing sunny hope to stoop . Tyranny planted seed Rebellious It envisioned the distant sky Uprooting fear’s weed…

  • Christmas blossoms in her heart

    Christmas blossoms in her heart

    In the bustling bright city square She strolls alone on Christmas eve Tossing the cell phone in her purse She absorbs joyful fleeting sights              **** She bows her head in silent prayer Embracing magic of ‘believe’ Swaddling the crannies of her heart With memory’s warm fairy lights    …

  • Believer

    Believer

    I had mocked at ‘life’s unfair’ Diluting cynicism with ‘believe’ I had rendered my friends a patient ear Withdrawing from the core’s finite pool                 **** When my soul limped under stress I took a sabbatical to refill my cup I believed, my tribe will be there After…

  • Autograph

    Autograph

    The writing has faded The pages have yellowed The rose is inodorous And thorns seem innocuous                 ***** Years have crawled languidly A protracted war on her peace Moulding her heart  gradually  From squishy muss to skilful ease                  ***** And yet…

  • The girl from yesterday

    The girl from yesterday

    When the din of the day wanes And the chores are all checked-off When the sun recedes to the west Embracing heaven and earth As the day meets the night In the sublime twilight glow I rewind to another time Bypassing present’s flow I navigate the lanes Of a rugged, distant land Desolate and grey…

  • Kingdom of lies

    Kingdom of lies

    Nurtured in the womb of blazing doubt and anxiety Nourished by recurring fear Delivered with a resolute will The lustrous lie is born Surpassing all growth charts The newborn enters adulthood Traversing decades in months Deception and disloyalty It’s perpetual paramours It works underground Surreptitiously substituting The truth with its kith and kin Making every…

  • Can you hear me?

    Can you hear me?

    Grey soot of melancholyMeanders through my veinsCan you hear me? Tears knock on the cracksof my wearied soulCan you hear me? Serpentine thoughts derailMy mind is a meshCan you hear me? Haphazard crinkled wordsBattle with the dinCan you hear me? The sun may go downWith no hope of a dawnCan you hear me? 

  • It’s only words

    It’s only words

    No thought was needed As words are free It doesn’t matter If  it doesn’t hurt me  It was a glorious chance To show insight sound I grabbed it at once To claim the high ground So I whipped and lashed The thick and heavy words For all and sundry To hear and pause And when…

  • Love….a madness

    Love….a madness

    Meticulously seated on ‘normal’, Soul immersed in sane work, I rejoiced in my tranquil cocoon, I celebrated my adequacy, I mocked at the hysterics of  My besotted friends and colleagues. Their alien eyes inundated With unearthly emotions  And lips brimming  With eulogies of love. Until that pivotal moment, When I felt the first flutter, The…

  • Rain drenched

    Rain drenched

    I wish I could tell you How like the rain you are Planting a smile on my lips Making buds in my heart bloom Nourishing my parched soil Soothing my frayed senses With your healing presence. I often fiddle with the thought Of baring my secret stories, Of telling you how you are My favourite…

  • Let go, embrace!

    Let go, embrace!

    Shhh!  mute the volume, of stubborn grudge, and, sizzle and rumble,  of wrath and blame.   Shhh! put to sleep,  the urge to curse, and, hush the sound,  of seething rage.   Shhh! lose no time, listen in! can  you hear your muted soul?   Discard, toss out, negativity lean in, embrace your  endless peace.

  • Spring

    Spring

    ‘Spring is in full bloom’, she said, Wiping his moist eyes, he spelled, ‘my last spring’, ‘The fragrant memories of our springs will stay, my love’, she said ‘And when you walk past beds of daffodils and buttercups, Smile at them,  and I shall smile back ’, she said.  ‘Don’t skip  your meals, forget not…

  • Winter’s blessings

    Winter’s blessings

    ‘Dull’ ‘gloomy’  ‘barren’  They bracket you in repetitive words. I behold your blessings and wonder,  If it’s a way for them to mingle well, With friends and nod in acquiescence, It’s easier to go with the trend. I see your beauty in frosted dew drops Your chilly wind, a respite from heat I see your…
