Can you imagine….
What would happen if we were to actually put a dot After each spoken sentence, thinking of punctuation That grammarians stress on- to pause, and make meaning complete. Our speech would be slow, meaningless, deadened Until we shrunk into a silence…. Ah no more corrections!!! No more indeed! No more rebellions would there be! No…

Say it ….
Say it, The barriers that block your mind, To blossom the pinned soul, . Say it The darkness that peeps into your sunshine, To enlighten your life. . Say it, Words that bother you, To erase the glitch of your heart. And paint it white. . Say it I love you To embosom the life…

The tempest
Sweltering on a sultry day As the sun shines on the bay The sky grumbles and clouds roll Thundering trouble foreseen As cacophonous rumbling heard A storm incoming Roost stirred, fledglings preserved. A gloomy silence overcomes As dark clouds assemble The sun cloaked in grey A jagged streak piercing the sky An anvil struck the…

Festering Silences
Amber brown pools are your eyes Like the cups o’ evening tea, they stare into me. Listen to the silence when love whispers, Speaking many truths of life, between the clink of glazed blue crockery. *************************** A festered wound opens many gangrenous…

Sole-mates!
I see you lurking, From every corner, peering. Following me, online and in real life. Claiming me to be your future ‘wife’. Flower bouquets, pesky offline messages. I want none of it! Do you get the message? Soul-mates? You and I. Not in a million years, go ahead. Cry. If you continue in your irksome…

Hues most Divine
Like gentle breeze, Come your endearing words, Rocking me into a blissful sleep, Soothing my worries and cares My closed lids now stare At your smiling visage. Perhaps we’re slipping through The shadows of yesteryears With much more ease. *** A wonderment lights up your face, Like the light of a full moon It handsomely…

Loneliness
The red rose Lonely as ever Companions faded And gone forever Recollection of loving moments Togetherness and caring She sighs at the desolate surroundings Sight of her beautiful friends She keeps longing Beckons the aged gardener Disperse my petals all over The departed I wish to follow Life is lonely and hollow. -Pradnya Surve

Midnight Whispers
You stepped into my life, like a gentle knock to the heart Kissing and curing every scar of yore’s hurt Your magical touch healed all the wounds My hapless heart flutters as if it knows no bounds. * My solitary nights now love-soaked Like the seashore pebbles, they clang and clatter Like a dream catcher,…

Love, come knocking on my door
Knock knock There is a knock on my door My heart was pounding My insides were melting Is it real Or is it illusion Books told me about charming looks I gazed at the door Longing for those words But it was ephemeral As a puff of air Will it immerse me in embrace Or…

Me.
I love that girl With the curly hair. Sporting short dresses She doesn’t give a care. Stay- at-home mum, Yes she is. Wasted her education Surely not, sis! Has she let herself go? After two babies, well, you know.. It’s pretty hard to stay slim, trim But forget that! See her smile, grin. I love…

Oh! How I Miss Touching God's Perfection
#Villanelle Each passing day, I crave for your affection, A glimmer of tears lines my eyes. Oh! How I miss touching God’s perfection! My eyes, smitten and mesmerised by your reflection. My heart aches, and in heaviness sighs. Each passing day, I crave for your affection. Rubicund cheeks, lucid skin, Ah! What a complexion! Alas!…

Lover's Lament
Says Mahadevi Akka, “When there is none To question the union Of the sky with the horizon, Why does this world Hurl accusations At me? When, in search of you I roam sky clad And my hair cloaks me. *** Oh Lord! From this worldly gaze When can I escape? Instead of my garb-like flowing…

My love diary
PoAttic-6 You and me and our love life I have noted in a diary. I have kept it hidden under my costly clothes beyond anyone’s reach, as it is exclusively mine. I don’t like anyone, even you, to see and read my heartfelt feelings. The day our eyes met the ecstasy and the sensetion mingled, …
