Blissful marriage, I just flicked, The day we talked, something clicked, I do not remember our talks, at times useless, At times, priceless! I promise to be your love, promise to be your poise, I promise to be your words, when you have no voice! If a single tear your eyes ever shed, under your…

I’m dark, I’m power I embrace the hope to empower * To accept, to acknowledge, to appreciate For I’m not just a “color”, doomed by fate * My skin color is my asset, my pride Though my unvoiced emotions, vividly pictured “apartheid”. * Amidst dark mist and fragmented dreams, I rejoice with glee Causing the…

Birth lends family , But life blessed me with Friends like you, You are gems I have treasured, I can say with pride, Whether miles apart or side by side! You promise me this today, When you need a secret kept, When you want to share a night that wept, When you want to shout…

Autumn left behind its crunchy imprint few scarlet pages decorate the frosty planet In her diamond-studded gown, the bride shimmered Decked in a glittering ebony tuxedo the groom admired Icicles dangled from the Alpine branches Wreath, Bells, stars, candles illuminated the cottages The bare woods danced along with the west wind I relished the celestial…

I do have the power to grant your wish, child Bring the old machine out of hiding, breathe magic into it And rewind the tape To a time when mistakes were limited to ink marks on a page To a time where you were yet to chart your path When unknowingly you were writing your…

Without warning it happened, Unconsciously I got involved, Till my soul found no escape, From that celestial feeling, Intoxicating, beyond my control A  gossamer soft silken strand, Softly wrapping my whole being ********************************** I surrendered to you, love, With candour of  devotion Couldn’t  read your Stygian mind, Ecstatic I floated in mystic sky, Till the…

Pain… Hide them, In your dark folds, And layers. To be relished At leisure, With care. Or grill them, In the raging bonfire And devour them, With a burning desire. Or drown them. With ice, In a cocktail of despair. Down them, To get high On misery and torment. Or better, Pour them on the…

the night descends again drawing in lost luminous moments, I stroll in the balcony of yesterday’s memories a grit pricks the sole, I whine, the numbness stealthily crawls up, to the heart. * the wrecked scene disheartening delightful laughs, gleeful faces comforting embrace buried in the stillness of the present the turmoil gushing up and…

As the darkness surrenders, The vibrant new dawn greets The sun rises as a canopy of gold, Bright amidst the chirpy tweets * The ambrosial zephyr Soothe even the restive souls Stirring emotions, Bringing sweet memories that time stole * The susurration of leaves, Now and then Whispers sweet nothings Time and again * The…
