That time of the year
The parched October air Was too warm still, To welcome any chill, And it wasn’t yet that time of the year. . The little grain of gram Turned around on slow heat And fluffed up for a fragrant treat, Ready to melt on an eager palate- But it wasn’t yet that time of the year.…

Solitary flower
The day was a rainy gloom, But she was set to bloom. Petrichor mingled in her breath, She yearned for her hiraeth. It was a starlit night, mesmerising twilight. She perched at the window, Adorning a white frilly dress, Standing on her green stilettos. She peeped out to see, on a romantic spree! There came…

Muted Spectators
Ominous high-pitched voices In some sort of emergency On the phone, calling up for An ambulance, mingle with shushes. Tongues click in despair. A shrill “We-oow-we-we-oow “, Echoing far and wide, Pervades my being as if A dozen sirens were Piercing my ears. My senses, I muffle with Familiar sounds: Hushed cries of a baby,…

Moving On..
I saw him today Bare chest Scratching his semi bald head Unrecognisable Yet I could see His shiny bright face From amidst the layers of beard Talking to nothingness Yes I’m sure It was him The very guy Whose one look Was enough To make girls Fall head over heels The very guy Who I…

Childhood
Far in the horizon The clouds groan heavily The clap of thunder, the brilliance of lightening Taking me back to the days When life seemed so full of promises When there were no worries When laughter rang out From that house down the road The patter of tiny feet The scolding when we cousins did…

Broken Heart
Broken Heart For you she was a girl who always bothered, wasn’t she? So many locks on her broken heart, for which you didn’t have any keys. She was different from others, you were no one to blame. Her heart was full of fire, she loved to play with flames. She was left alone with…

Can’t I go back
On the balcony With my tea cup How many times I have thought Can’t I go back? The day I played with the dust Cooking rice dal with sand My pots and pans Were the coconut shells. Can’t I go back? My carefree student days Coming from class Throwing the books away Gobbling the yummy…

the blues suddenly turn black the superimposed cliffs in the distance shudder the playful breeze halt itself trying to comprehend colourful flocks scurry home, frightened at the untimely darkness and the Gold is gradually cloaking the Orange king is no more glowing, clouds of hatred, jealousy, bitterness overshadow its brightness, gifting the earth an ephemeral…

Flaming Scars
Dark nights and lightning thunders, makes him more brave than ever. Heavy rains and endless pains, makes him stronger and clever. Glowing bright with unhealed scars, he was never ashamed of. Full of courage and smile on his face, fought the battles he was never afraid of. No one knows the story behind the scars,…

Why you didn’t say goodbye?
Maa, why didn’t you tell me before, You were not feeling well anymore. Why did you love me so much, Without you, life seems out of the clutch. Why my eyes could not see your toil, You wrapped yourself in an illusive foil. I was busy making your dreams come true, I…

Walk on the Shore
Would I find a place in you Would you call me among those few Am I sitting in a corner of your heart Or am I lost there, like a forgotten scar Thinking of you, I feel fresh like dew Crossed with thoughts of sipping brew Being caressed in your arms’ warmth I see dreams…
