Ophelia
You couldnt really see her Prominence wasn’t her Greatest gift. But you’d know, the treacle Wouldn’t linger on tastebuds The way it does, If it wasn’t for the saccharine That chose to dissolve And disappear within. Or the scents That lingered in the air for hours, Even when all that remained of the…

Mastermind manners
Was it a curse of perpetual dissatisfaction That made their methods so meticulous? Or was it just a mad mutation, That made up a genius? Each stroke of the paintbrush Fell precisely into place Till, like a sorcerer possessed, He vitalized her face. Each finger sculptIing a dream Ceaselessly did play Till, to…

Lost
Day by day, Season after season, Years passed away One by one. The stars lost their twinkle, Smiles their crinkle. Moments became clicks, Magic became tricks. Every moment spent to ponder, At the heavy cost of wonder. Calloused hands, bruised souls Lost the feel of being whole. View from summit, showed what…

Kuiper's clan
Look for me among the rocks That float way beyond your light, Through a zillion, billion epochs, Faceless, nameless, in the nights. In awe, I watch the glorious rise Of giants, with their many moons Serenade to endless reprise Of timeless celestial tunes. Unseen, unheard, with my bretheren We watch and wait for…

Ineffable
A futile quest To throw out your arms To embrace Unending expanses. A waste of time, Chasing mirages. A waste of breath, Taking those chances. In vain it is To point and prove, In quantities Or magnitudes. Don’t try to chain In sounds or words. They do no more Than allude. …

Gall
Too soon she learned the ways Of constraint and reserve, Rehersed sweetness and A dignity well conserved. Yet every now and then She just couldnt ignore, A surge of bitterness That had to be endured. For when the bitter bile, Claimed every molecule, They saw- vain and vile An object of ridicule. …

Chains
I can see them dragging at your feet, As you run with some trepidation- My chains of caution. . I can see them cramp your tongue, As you swallow your stories- My chains of castigation . I can see them curtail your imagination, As you imitate with robotic precision- My chains of convention. . I…

Backyard diaries
(Lessons of an amateur photographer) The early bird can, the worm afford, And the early camera captured the bird! However dark the ambience, Be calm and let in some radiance. Focus was great for shooting, Till unaware, I lost my footing. A falling leaf, accidentally caught Gave more joy than a planned…

Arrival
It took lightyears of distance, Ages of time To get here, at a moment So precise, divine. . Like it was willed for us (Or willed by us?) To be here for some reason And stand before endless possibilities. . So whatever be the fates, My heart finds its revival And celebrates Every arrival. .…
