Unheard Voices
The kicks in the womb, Eager to jump out To the mother’s bosom. The urge of an infant, Whose lovely eyes Yearn the father’s arms. The pain of the student, Whose tiring fingers Just ask to slow down. The call of the teen, Whose confused mind Seeks a shoulder to lean. The fatigue of the…

Ferocious!
She felt a chill run Down her spine. She knew she was being watched, All the time! ‘Can you hear me?’ He licked his lips, Salivated when he saw her. She was an easy target At that time of day, he jeered. ‘Can you hear me?’ He pursued her. Like a deer she leapt away.…

Rain drenched
I wish I could tell you How like the rain you are Planting a smile on my lips Making buds in my heart bloom Nourishing my parched soil Soothing my frayed senses With your healing presence. I often fiddle with the thought Of baring my secret stories, Of telling you how you are My favourite…

I wish to get absorbed
In the silent ocean of your voluptuous eyes I wish to get absorbed in its fathomless love paradise Emerald curves thou hast, are trancing With sweet-salted passion, my lonely shore, they’re caressing?

Mermaid by Chance
She swore she could breathe underwater. After swallowing every tear, And choking on every breath, She could inhale oceans, no bother. She could swim the depths of her soul. Endless leisure at her disposal, She’d cross the Pacific of denial That had devoured her whole. If she ever chanced a peek Above the…

Maya Memsaab
Her soul was diluted She a water sign… wiped off the remnants of the myth with yesterday’s newspaper. And waved to him through the purple window. He the air sign… drifted, after halting to water his soul with the vapour in her eyes. The monochromes of his mossy smile faded like an afterthought. …

Who Made The Rules
Recounts the fairy tale The plight of the pretty mermaid Enamoured, she was Off her feet, she was swayed In the flexures of her heart An aria, mellifluous, played The semblance of a man Like a relic, in her heart, stayed Love at first sight, twas Swamping her, like a cascade For a union…

Mermaids
In the bottomless ocean of love, he dived To acquire the pearls of her beauty Her caring heart survived His promises of undying duty Their love was made of folklore Sung through ages long Innocent were his overtures Siren was her song She realised she was just an Aphrodisia For his fickle mind After years…

I was sixteen
From a single moment, my life forever changed, I was sixteen, and I was told every event is pre ordained. Slamming the door, he entered like it was his right, I could not shake him, even though I fought with all my might. A private zone, he shamelessly, thrust-fully entered, I screamed in…
