Dare I Ask For More?
Winter brings its bounty Of gifts, when tulip bulbs And crowned lilies bend, Weighed down by crystalline Snowflakes and rime. Winds dare not disturb Frost-laden branches bent. *** All’s buried in mounds Of snow’s chaste innocence. ‘Tis, wild’s wintery quiescence. The world’s still awhile… Shush! None dares disturb! Snowy carpets muffle footsteps. *** Then, to…

Elegy To A Frozen Parchment
it glistens – a tiny dewdrop perching on the shriveled leaf just like the tear trickling down her kohl-rimmed eye it’s seeped to the core of her voice – the winter chill. the words lie scattered, abandoned, like a solitary cottage amidst an expanse of snow-clad wilderness buried deep into the recesses of…

Winter
A month of snow and frost, Icy winds blowing day and night, We miss the warm summer And the refreshing sunlight. Times of celebration, parties, Picnics and moments of fun, The parks and gardens come Alive with lively kids’ run. Sledging across the snow, Hitting snowballs in the chill, Dressed in warm sweaters,…

It came once again
It came once again stealthily, Riding on western zephyrs, Playing with me contentedly Oblivious to pain I bear Inside me, this year… Those days of warm sunshine, Those fingers caressing my hair Those raining kisses on my forehead Turned into frosty layers Inside me, this year… Amidst dancing oaks on snowy mountains, I…

Winter’s blessings
‘Dull’ ‘gloomy’ ‘barren’ They bracket you in repetitive words. I behold your blessings and wonder, If it’s a way for them to mingle well, With friends and nod in acquiescence, It’s easier to go with the trend. I see your beauty in frosted dew drops Your chilly wind, a respite from heat I see your…

The Endless Winters
It’s not of just a quarter of a year to me, the cold waves seem to be eternal. The winters arrived; not after the autumn, for me the winter barged in, that one summer evening; when you gave me that cold shoulder. The warmth of affection, the fire in your eyes, the passionate kisses…

Winter’s Wonderland
I stand here, numb, alone the thick carpet of glistening snowflakes crunch against my broad trunk the silvery icicles dangle from my spindly bare arms, sparkling under the winter sun. that old couple across the frozen lake amazes me, summer or rain, winter or spring, their passionate touch enough to warm their vintage abode,…

The Final Winter
I feel strange – Like a star that exploded eons ago, Scattering golden dust Which soon swirled away into infinity, Leaving a cold trail. It’s winter – and the coat I wear barely keeps me warm. The fire beyond my walls Is burning bright And they sit huddled around it, Their pale faces glowing. Not…

Winters, I’ll miss thee…
Winters when thou ’ll be gone, I’ll miss thy frigid ‘n’ nippy morn… When sweat will trickle down, Brisk winds, I’ll miss gushing around. When heat waves will make throat dry, I’ll miss hot cocoa ‘n’ soups with sigh! Overhead, when the sun ‘ll blaze, Winters, I’ll miss thy cool misty haze! Sitting…

Of Snows and Stars
the last of the Winter’s snow melt into nothing the seasons are changing – winter bidding a sultry goodbye and here i am – still standing cherry blossoms fluttering down like how the first snow of the season scrambled to fill the crevices of the brown a winter gone, a summer new, worn sweatshirts…

Fight !
Alone, I stand with my brittle body The journey was not easy neither dreamy nor fussy Spring of my life comforts my worn out nerves. Summer had always burn out my pain and made me strong My autumn had elapsed shedding my tears Laughed and tossed to the ocean of life by rainy dear Wintery…

Perpetual winter
She looked frozen. Yet it was not winter. Then what was the reason? The little sweet girl, she was only six. Her parents died and she was in a fix. An aunt took her care, the uncle was a rogue. He abused and molested her several times. But the scared one kept herself mum. Whom…

The Warm Victory
The million dew drops glittering on the grass chase away the stars to twilight yonder. The early morning light struggles to penetrate through the blanket of fog the city is tucked in! The silver Sun’s rays hop over the mist like a naked foot on the winter marble floor! The pale perturbed…

Winter longings
In the dead of the winter When the nature is sleeping Under the snow cover Buried lie the whiffs Of the summer I once nursed Shivering in the chill Are the flowers of a dream That didn’t find a strong will Dormant lies its sire Missing the adrenaline rush Creaking in the raw cold Are…
