Roads
#AZatPP #R Many grey roads have I crossed, Some in time’ve fall’n out of use, and were lost. Some led to cities of yore, Others, watery paths, anchor’d ships at shores. Dirty brown straggling paths Dared venture into the wildnesses’ heart. Pine laden, steep were some, Where silence mingled with the bee’s hum. Mountains…

Verdigris
#AZatPP #V The old ramshackle houses With bay windows hint at another time And age. An age of transition: No permanency for this age, ‘Twas like copper sheen, When touched by breath It turned into a blueish green. **** History captures its glory As the craftsman fingers a copper Buddha bust with longing Lending his…

Winter's tale
AZatPP #W One day as the mist spread its wings And cloaked the town. A fine gauze-like chill cascaded From the heavens above, Rippling through shanties in alleys, Mansions in boulevards, And tiny slated houses in hedged compounds. **** Out went the bright morning sun Behind puffy mushroom-like clouds it ran. …

Us
#U AZatPP What makes us? Just you and me? Let’s embrace the many others- Left out of the circle of humanity, Include them in the fold too! Aren’t they too, extensions of you and me? ***** © Mumtaz N Khorakiwala 27-1-2021 Picture courtesy: Shane Rounce unsplash.com Vasudeva Kutumbakam: the globe is one family, the universe…

Lucid dream
End of an exhilarating day Words conjure almost like incantation Sleep takes over Amidst the choir. Dreams unveiled As I fly in the blue sky Flight of birds greet me As Zephyr brushes past. My soul breaks free As I wander in the sky Subconscious opens doors A new perception. A lucid dream A new…

Zenith
Across the zenith I fly, On love’s high, I believe you and me, Together we are meant to be. Living cocooned in our magical world, Happiness loads in it swirled, Moments of sorrow just a dash, Barely making a splash. With tenderness you continue to hold, Walking hand in hand, we grow old, You and…

Zoogenic Zealotry
There was once Zolo,the gruff zookeeper A smuggler, snuggler and surfeiter Vexed he skipped cages to clasp, Ferals sprinted out of grasp Strolling footloose with the fellow fellers. Ketki Jalan Picture – Unsplash Note – The poem is written in Limerick.

Zeal:UnIVerse
Gazing at the mystical sky I wonder there’s a part of U breathing in I A speck of the universe brewing in me, Stardust coursing through my veins A black hole in me that’s void of your touch, Echelon of fireballs twinkling in my eyes * There’s a part of the universe in everything we…

Zoo Lives
AtoZatPp Z Trapped are our spirits, That yearn to wander Down alleys that lead To eternal joy – Like animals groveling Within cages That are not even theirs. Masters set the time And the race begins, To end When the whistle blows. Trapped are we, As we live other lives And slowly die within. Funerals…

Zygote
Life starts with a tiny dot, The dot has a name, That starts with Z, The last alphabet. . Isn’t it amazing to see, The God’s creation of The last letter being The first step to life? . A small dot it is, That teaches us the Life’s most valuable lesson Of share, divide and…

Zen Pearly-Moment
Though sitting near the fireplace next to the window Still, I felt the bone-chilling wind’s blow Darkness and gloom hovered over the streets But up in the sky, I saw the crystalline shining streaks Waiting to float down from white fluffy-skies I rejoiced as it would soon bring flakes of light from paradise. * Slowly,…
