In the arms of the sleepless night I unearth solace, an eternal delight! * resting on the velvety green carpet the midnight dews kiss my breast in the whistling of the fragrant winter breeze Am losing my senses, oh time, please freeze. * the nocturnal birds sing that old melancholic hymn and once again I…

Wise old man, all wizened and white, Walks in watching through dimmed sight. A staff in hand and golden bell, For when time’s ripe to resound the knell. His eyes hold flashes of times gone by, Good ones, mad ones, laughs and sighs A mirror are they, to foresee, What times to come, could (should)…

The declining years,dominated by sulky bone When she endured herself as a crone Yearned for gossips,giggles and grin Chitter chatter and companion conversation about who would win Asking her a recipe was a justification To talk,to connect,to bridge the gap formation To include her in part of my existence Feasibly to make her feel of…

White winter adorns the snowscape, Turning verdant lea into silver grace, Peeping down from glass window, She admires a few remaining tufts of leaves, Quivering under the weight Of falling snowflakes, Her deft fingers knit a sweater, Soft wool curls and takes shape, While the kittens  play with the ball, Under her chair in the warm…

Draped in red attire Her forehead adorned with vermilion Eyes fluttering, lips quivering She walks gently Or is it with heavy steps Her head bowed down Is she blushing Or weighed under embellishments A mind filled with expectations Uncertainty lines her thoughts She grew up a pampered child Cheerful and at times wild But childhood…

When i travel on highways, i find a stunning similarity With numerous untold stories, the alleys stare at me, These never-ending highways and their hidden sentiments Am I the only one who reads them with excitement?

I dream to be my shining Knight, Galloping on a horse all night, Taking rugged roads in stride. Westerlies play with my hair, Opprobrium I turn a deaf ear. I raise my hand and touch the skies, My dream catcher has fireflies, On my hands rest butterflies. Through stubborn hills or daffodils, The pregnant clouds…

A new life in the family Yet they lament Why I this injustice to us A curse it seems This woman unable to bring joy We need a heir Not this encumbrance The bane is soon shunted To the corner most room To protect the house from evil It becomes her world Childhood is just…

Mother Having lost you Silvery pearls roll down Eloquent mournful elegy Engraved * Pearly Cascading drops Drench unvoiced emotions Flickering glimpses of yore bid Adieu ** Silent Barren bosom Emotions ravaged soul Brooding eyes glistened, lament Billow * Lonely Melancholic Crestfallen desolate I pray for a magical healing Within * Holding onto the last Pedicle…

The north winds blow A distant memory grows Chilling and freezed My heart is squeazed ******** Outside the snow falls Inside the tear calls The tune of separation The trials and tribulations ******* Katabatic winds howl I whimper and growl Rattling windows and door And I lament forever more ******* When the winters come I…

the earth dressed in white mellow golden glints kiss its furry skin the bare stalks at the distance stands motionless, crystal earrings glistening on their naked soul the roots buried deep beneath fluffy whites yet breathing, unhurried, the last green still clasping to the brown unwilling to leave its abode, the irritable frigid gust finally…
