Wildflowers
Enduring hurricanes and torrential rains Blossoming in vibrance whilst casting their shape Carving a niche, with no lineage to take How beautifully Wildflowers flaunt the prowess of being self-made!

Journey
Oh Man! Stop for a while and look back in a life fraught with doubts and fears you have never cared to see me you have always been running after those intimidating goals floating in the nebulous future of someday Have you ever thought that they would only create a virtual step for you to…

Insanity
The point of no return From the edges of sanity Losing it One step at a time Till I find myself In the labyrinthine maze of mythical minotaur Ravenous for my bloodied head Sniffing around the gaping holes In the jaded wall, sacred Which I built painstakingly Over a thousand years And forgot to abrade…

I Wish I Were
I wish I were a cloud That glides through the sky In a spic and span white And plays peek a boo With the sun and the moon I wish I were the rain That the petrichor carries To quench the thirst of The mud , the trees And the lively creatures. I wish I…

The Promise of Return
Ever noticed the pebbles in the ocean, How smooth – dainty they seem, Lost in themselves, Still their colour, intact in their being. I must have been amongst them once, And you, like waves would have rushed past me, I would have gone with you, too A little far, Drenched in the wetness of yours,…

I fixed a poem in the text
I penned a poem in a text And it ran right across. I attempted to have it fixed, mounted to the page, From where it ran astray. I thought A tack would pin its rougish feet. Yet Foot by foot it abandoned the page, Until words were sheltered in the depths of a lake. I…

Parenting has no Side A or Side B
One day their paths diverged, the couple decided to quit. Bitterly they fought, at home, in court, everywhere they’d sit. Each wanted a piece given by the life that they had let go, To them she was the most precious thing, they both loved her so. Eventually it came down to mudslinging, even name-calling.…

Twilight
Fervently, I await, for the sunbeams to ebb, Fervently, I await, for twilight to descend Depraved Is my pneuma, vile are my thoughts They say, for I revere what the night plots Say, what they may, for remiss they are That sewed with night tide, are fantasies of my star With dreams…

Visiting Home
Those Blissful long summer vacations , Like oasis after miles long stretch of sand , Which I spent in my parental house , With my little toddler in my hand . Getting up at seven I would gap, Oh , why didn’t you wake…
