We counted the stars, Before we slept, Out in the open, In the cool fresh air. Me and my siblings, Then fought over it, And asked Papa about it, He always favoured me. Then told us about, the sun and the moon, And planets and satellites, Circling round them. We had a thousand questions, He…

IT’S A NEW DAY. It’s a new day , A new beginning? No. Not at all. Because some things never change, They always remain the same. It’s a new day And I promise myself To smile often and be happier. But I deep down know this won’t last longer. At home, I’m said to be…

HOPE On one fine day, Nothing was going my way, I was said again , I was in pain again. But there I saw something shining, In the clouds it was the silver lining, Yes it was something called hope, Which would help me hold the rope,when I was falling. Reason why after hours of…

The winds of change Blew it all away The wilted leaves turned from green to grey The sirens I heard from by the sea shores A silence too quiet Shattering my heart and soul The memories I seek, slowly slithering away like sand. The laughter, the tears I just can’t understand Was it just a…

So forgetful of me? yesterday night I left the door ajar the windows wide open– slightest fear, what if I fail to hear the doorbell what if the cyclone makes other notes inaudible the rains played a spoilsport yesterday night, they had a gala time fondling cuddling the bare papers, the blank pages kept on…

My heart like  a paper plane, soars, guided by a strange force Sketching, seeking it’s fortune Charting its own coveted course Hope intertwine its creases Dreams align, lacing  its folds swooping, stretching ‘n straining It yearns to cut across the threshold It but pummels,  plunges to rock-bottom It’s vagaries but, never come to a naught It lies there…
