There For You

When the coldest of winds are blowing, When the nights seem never-ending, When the pain snaps your resolve, when it crushes your spirit, I will be there for you.   My eyes meet yours in that flash of pristine white, In midst of poetic declarations and fireworks in the sky, […]

जीवन का मोल

एक पेड़ था ताल  किनारे बरसों से छतनार खड़ा बड़ी सघन थी उसकी शाखें उसको था अभिमान बड़ा जितने सुंदर पंछी पाँखी ताल किनारे आते थे उसकी डालियों में अपना रैन बसेरा बनाते थे दिन भर उसकी छत के नीचे लोगों की आवाजाही थी कुछ प्रेमी जोड़े बतियाते थे कुछ […]

Art and Artist

Abode is his dwelling Ride unto the last with pride is all’s aim To nearly hearth most of all reach with act Chilled we stay though near heat Since nothing can be undone All is done, which results in devoid of inclusion Touched yet untouched we stand   Nature heals […]

Evening Pervades

Sheet of silence drapes the soul of din and bustle as evening stealthily advances slowly …dimly lit street lights engage in whisper swathe in  the serenity of breather and calmer sense   Less of footfall on much trodden path defines the contour of the obvious darkness pervades like never before […]

The Quest for Love

In search of love and affection My mind is oscillating in your thoughts. Sitting on the lifeless lumbar log I wander where is my love , Uprooted, displaced and voiceless. I fail to understand this complex In the desert of my heart, You were planting the tree . In the […]

It makes love with the luscious cups of the rose petals; satiating their thirst- intensifying mine. This encounter- like a […]
