Cloaked Divine
A thank-you escaped, a smile I cracked, Thirstily I gulped, life I lacked, Gratitude evaporated in petrichor smell, As monsoon befriended, me, the long-dead well. . A thank-you flowed, through my dead veins, With pride I stood, as around me you chained, Long dead I was, with lightning struck, Till you playful tendril, curled around…

Hope and despair
Tattered clothes, with a stitch here and there In Scrunched pigtails are her unkempt hair Flip flops on her feet are a mismatched pair The heat is scorching yet she doesn’t seem to care Among halted vehicles, she scuttles like a hare Knocking on windows, asking for some change spare As I drop some pennies,…

Dreams That Don't Belong
“Thank you” The words hung heavily in the air The wind is filled with wordless wishes Conversation is scarce Your gratitude tore me apart We stood in a moment of pain Sheathed in the colours of sunset I wished that I could bear your Tears in my eyes and Carry your misery in my heart…

Sarcastic Sorry!
Thankyou she said – Every time they allowed her, to step out Every time they applauded her, in a crowd Gratitude she expressed – For every freedom granted For every wish accepted . But all this only till, realization dawned When she understood, she was beyond Free to live, the way she desired No permission, no…

Words in between
THANK YOU! For every tear, I’ve spilt in your presence For every pain, you’ve subjected me to For every remorse, that never included a SORRY! . THANK YOU! For every little thing, you’ve taught me For every lesson, I’ve learnt along the way For every rejection, that never accompanied a SORRY! . THANK YOU! For…

Please forgive me
“Thank you,” I wanted to say When you stopped by to check on me To ensure that my mind hadn’t taken over my body, To confirm that my emotions weren’t controlling me . “Thank you” I wanted to say When you heard my silence And just pressed my hands To assure you were there, if…

Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus, For sacrificing your life for our sins, In this world full of sorrows, You are the one who came out of shallows, For the well being of this human race, To save the humanity trace, You gave the preachings, That transformed the evil, You healed the world, And cured the diseases, But…

Normal People
I often think About you and me; And sometimes Aimlessly about us. We’re mostly together Yet wishing to be free Of each other. Living our lives as is Carrying pieces Of our unfortunate love With audible silences. Do I know of the love That lived in your past? Do you see the emptiness That I…

The Little girl with long tresses
Can you see that house in grey? Yes the second one in the alley, The one lodging the big banyan tree That’s her house, housing her reveries . The house of the little girl of four No, not four years but she’s tall feet four You wonder why I refer her like that? Yes I…

Notebook of Love
In the Notebook of my heart , I have written the story of my life, The day you met me, The day we chatted for hours, Our first kiss, our first hug, You came into my life, And everything felt so beautiful, Like never before, Even in my dreams I see you, With every passing…

Bask not dear sun
Bask not dear Sun In your radiance, in your resplendence For you haven’t caught a glimpseOf the angels that trot in my abode . Bask not dear SunIn your warmth, in your effulgenceFor you haven’t spent a minuteWith the angel’s in role play games . Bask not dear SunIn your lustre in your luminosityFor you…

Celebrating Silence
Celebrating silence, I often talk, An internal dialogue, as inside I walk, Through my soul, veins and blood, I travel within, with the prana flood. My breath, the prana, awakens my mind, Negatives I breathe out, leaving none behind, Each positive breath fills my body with light, Banishing all darkness, leaving none in sight, A…

PS. I Love You!
The depth, the sparkle, The mystery in your eyes. Makes me land In our love’s paradise. . The warmth, the smell, The stroke of your skin. That shakes me From within. . The beat of your heart, My head on your chest, Makes everything alright And forget the rest. . The mischief in your smile,…
