I saw her today, again same innocent curve adorned her ruddy lips inquisitive eyes pierced the soul, again glossy brown locks tickled her flawless face She peeked, waved, whispered Her silent words echoed in the frosty night. * She basked while strolling in the garden Gossiping with my sleepy friends Enjoying the midnight bliss Swaying…

Bow down in obeisance- shoulders drooping, spirits dissipating, brows tense, Sense of self meanders like someone searching his way out of a maze, Pushed against a fence. Zig Zag, Zig Zag…. Society’s grisly gaze pierces through her making her gag. Smile– never sardonic but a generous grin, Be a ‘good girl’. Lashing out undeterred is…

  Dead unseeing eyes lying on cold marble slabs Unprotesting organs awaiting the touch of the scalpels Nauseous stench of formalin welcoming you with open arms Forcing all life’s noble ambitions to flee while self-doubt creeps in.

Echoes ring from the corridors, Maa pleading ”Baban one morsel more”. The languid heart is prodding the eyes in slumber, A little child I could remember. Running bare feet…

A fragile dew drop, I gripped the weed, Through the night, on cold I feed, My wait, you ended, with your morning ray, With one touch, I shone as diamonds spray. ### My bearing core, lay silent entombed, Arid earth, kept me barren, alone, My wait, you ended, with monsoon spree You soaked me soft,…

I abandoned myself in Quest of Love, My happiness, My Self, were all squandered and gone.. The Melancholic Heart gave up sporadically, But the perseverant emotions held on firmly. Those incessant fights went on ceaselessly, I kept loosing myself in the spree of his mercy. My feelings were dependent, my hopes astray, How will I…
