Lovelorn
The radiant moon used to enchant me before, But now it looks sombre and shrouded when compared to your face. The zephyr used to flutter my inert heart, But I seem more allured by your dancing tresses. I used to rejoice the petrichor that accompanies rain, But now I yearn for the perfumed roses adorned…

Kiss me Goodbye
I’ve seen springs, I’ve seen summers, I’ve seen falls, And let this be my last winter. . I’ve lived a life Filled with mirth, I shall always reminisce them, But now it’s time to say goodbye. . I’ve seen places, I’ve met people, It’s time to visit a realm unknown, Please kiss me goodbye. .…

Journey through the world of books
Every time I open a book, All I do is read, to get hooked. . I travel to an enchanting world with ecstasy, Embracing, my wings of fantasy. . Fairytale characters magically appear, Ta da! Holding a magical wand, I pretend to disappear, . Animals and birds from the fables, Spiritual figures from parables. .…

Ineffable
A futile quest To throw out your arms To embrace Unending expanses. A waste of time, Chasing mirages. A waste of breath, Taking those chances. In vain it is To point and prove, In quantities Or magnitudes. Don’t try to chain In sounds or words. They do no more Than allude. …

Impassioned Plea of a Soulmate
As I sit by the windowsill in utter solitude, The glistening rays of sunlight pierces upon me, pleading to brighten my melancholic face, reminding me of the beautiful pictures we both painted on the canvas of our happy life; The mirthful days with you were filled with laughter, The quiet moonlit nights that brimmed with…

Holidays and Winter
With all the leaves shed, the trees look bare, Several animals hibernate, The season of winter is welcomed. . The white ground gleams with a sheet of ice, Heavenly, enchanting icicles, Hang frozen from branches and sparkle. . It’s time to have some fun in the snow. Families enjoying holidays, Build snowmen, hurl snowballs and…

Grand Canyon
Seasons came, Seasons went, I silently stood, Braving them all. . The sun, the moon, The stars, the sky, I have witnessed them Across the ages. . The harshest winds, The coldest frosts, The torrential rains, I have harbored them all. . Layer by layer, Flake by flake, Sculpted and chiseled, I stand proud and…

Forbidden Tree
A seed was sown by two solemn souls, A golden seed it proved to be. It was nurtured with love, passion and affection, The sprouted seed grew slowly into a lush golden tree, It breathed and bounced with love and mirth. But shaken by the sands of time it slowly bore bitter fruits, Flawed in…

Entwined Whispers
Seek for me during the period of twilight before sunset, In those sublime moments, I stay concealed. Search for me in the smudged words of a tarnished letter, In the indecipherable phrases, I linger quietly. Interpret the expressions of my muted face, In the weaved tales, I fervently dwell. In between the pauses of your…

Dreamland
Every night as I retire to sleep after my mundane chores, I close my eyes , going into an inert state. Though my body achieves quietude, My restive mind travels to a universe parallel – A land of illusion that exists in the realms of fantasy. The unspoken desires manifest and breathe with life. I…

A Mother’s Plea
“O Naïve and innocent son! Fate has cruelly struck you, My dear! How did this happen? Where and When? Was it a speeding car that hit your bike? Or a truck driver blaming a blind spot, A jaywalker, perhaps, whom you were trying to avoid, Could it be someone, envious of your success? I can’t…

The Book of My Life
I once opened the book of my life, The pages popped and loomed up high. I flipped through the pages one by one, They were filled with memories in thousands. The sweetest ones seemed to glow, Memories that smiled with a rainbow. The funny ones made me laugh out loud, Memories with friends who made…

Lies, tantalize me!
He,my husband Never expresses umpteen His quiet impassive demeanor is my pet peeve That day, he bought his favorite car His dream on wheels! He took me for a maiden ride And held my hand in the smooth drive I was flabbergasted but enjoyed the cajoling His touch on me, felt velvety and lavish That…
