Excursion of Repentance
One fine day, when my soul is set free, When this world has taken away, all it gave me. When I have breathed my last, debts repaid, a small excursion, to rewind, I crave. My core devoid of inhibitions, wants to visit, those cemented by-lanes and that lazy rivulet. He, who sold balloons ‘n candies…

Rainbow
Bright and dark Antonyms though I willingly embrace both Friend, philosopher, guide They advise me every stride Oh no another task I groan and roll over my bed Dark hands me a glass Drink to your heart’s content Drives away bright Draws the curtain To intercept light Bright knocks at the door But I snooze…

Hot-air Balloon
Let’s get into the groove Fly high in a hot air balloon that flies only in the vast sky and if the balloon’s rope gets untied from the ground You’d be left alone in the air with few unknown men and now you all, tackle together an unforeseen circumstance just like you would’ve tackled with…

Timberland!
far away from this maddening crowd somewhere in the arms of the browns beneath the shade of the green foliage I discover tranquillity and peace. *** the soggy earth kissing my tired soles the dews conveying love through veins the woody breeze intoxicating my spirits I discover tranquillity and peace. *** twittering birds and the…

Sempiternal childhood
Mother’s womb A cosy space Her arms a cradle Of love and affection My childhood began in a warm happy nest A joyful journey was the rest Little hands and little feet Small steps guided With tenderness and endearment Entered a haven Of cognition and recreation Surrounded by teachers and peers Abode of friendship and…

The Lighthouse of My Life
Sometimes On the darkest of nights When the rumbling sound Of unknown fears Crawl in through the walls of My half broken mind, I look out. Wreckage lies Afloat on stagnant dreams And the stench of pain Clogs my senses : Till you reach out. You draw me into your warm space Like a lighthouse…

The Reminiscent Soul!
I come here every dawn With a wait in these bright eyes Perhaps someday my soul won’t be empty anymore Perhaps someday the wind won’t dry my salty cheeks Perhaps someday we will meet again * The morning glory blooms brightening the eastern fringe His brushstrokes gradually painting the other fractions of the blue canvas…

Yet Another Monsoon
YET ANOTHER MONSOON When the clouds embrace The parched souls, Their dreams Begin to rush forth In torrents That fill up troughs Of solitude. Little hopes sprout everywhere. I close my doors, And let the music of raindrops float along, As the Monsoon dances Along the vacant alleys. Nature weaves yet another story For thirsty…

Midnight Dream
That midnight dream that wakes you And you realize that something’s gone Or something’s happened that you Failed to realise Failed to live in time For you were too occupied In duties To survive the next day Which was always unpredictable Of how it would be And whether it would exist For you or not …

Prayers!!
I rule the infinite blues float on the puffy dollops I drink the virgin zephyr and drape in vibrant colours, I play with my twittering friends and dance to their mellifluous tunes often rest my tired self on the colourful fluffy bed and when on lonely nights my pensive thoughts disturb me the crescent jasmine …
