INEQUALITIES
INEQUALITIES On a monotonous night I laid down on my bed, And thought about love, How love is madness and love is completeness, And how love is equality, But there are so many inequalities. We’re taught to love everybody but no one does, Nobody understands that “LOVE IS LOVE”. If she’s dark and you’re fair,…

Unheard cries
Dear lenie You have compelled me to write Of the unheard cries of our children So innocent and fragile These little angels why do they suffer so much Aren’t we supposed to be their guardians Their knights, their providers, their shield? We abandon them, we are cruel We have wars and not think of them…

Blue
Tonight, the colour is blue. My blue saree that once sent tingles down your spine- Like a first kiss, when I wore it every time- It’s haunting me : Tonight,the pain is true. Tonight, the rain is overdue. I’ve been holding back this torrent for long, But the pregnant clouds tonight don’t seem as stubborn,…

To my Elusive Love
Do you ever feel suffocated, Roaming in a vast ground , Full of fragrant flowers? Under an open sky, Studded with myriad stars? I do it every night. Get up choking as if running a race , To reach up to you While you are leaving me. But you are formidable, Like angels or God.…

Wherever i go i feel you Whatever I look at I see you, Sometimes I feel like a cauldron steaming spirit simmering memories bubbling emotions smoking heart encircled by embers, * the morning breeze– that we once enjoyed now feels heavy with the warmth of your love, the spurting brook that– runs down the stony…

Lullaby
Is it a lullaby that the nature is singing? Rejuvenating my senses The tranquility is getting hold of my soul The calm all around, even as birds chirp and butterflies dance The peace doesn’t set in here; it’s always like this Serene and indescribable Putting me to slumber during broad daylight! . The feeling is…

Different Strokes
Those tender eyes, Full of hopes and dreams, Seem to tell a tale, A tale of life they live. . We are different, they say, Different from you and me. It needn’t be physical always, As we are different other ways. . Some of us like to read, Some like to paint. Some need to…

Soulmate
I have loved with all of me Yet my heart bleeds Waiting for my soulmate A perfect love I don’t believe its possible Or even real maybe That’s why I can’t see beyond My loneliness and my pain Is there really such a thing as soulmates? But I shall still dream of Long walks on…

Gratitude leads to beatitude
Affluent and opulent Haughty about his wealth He walks with his head held high A ceaseless scramble In his incessant quest for more treasure He needs it for his pleasure Material prosperity piles up But humility and gratitude dips down On a heartless sprint he goes Many a innocent soul Crushed beneath his toes Blinkers…

Down the Memory Lane
I disembarked on a journey Through the memory lane. Revisiting those lovely days Hoping to relive them again. . A carefree childhood, Sans any restrictions, Where water, mud and dirt Were the companions. . Flintstones taught us the stone age, And Jetsons, the space. Spinach is good for health, Practiced and preached, Mr. Popeye. .…
