Acceptance

From the day we know the world There’s always a clash, We whirled and we hurled For something, that will be gone like a flash.   Seeking acceptance from the people Is like a bermuda triangle Like a tipple We can never ever dangle.   We know but we ignore […]

Poetry

The Trains Are Snowbound!

In the oar room of the houseboat where we rocked on the mooring rope on the black river as if out to sea the sill of the small rectangular windows kept cold bottles of creamy milk and two red delicious apples but we had books, a rented typewriter and a […]

Poetry

Life is a Journey

Life is a journey, exclusive, one-off, curious, constant, To seek out with honest ardour to realise it’s intent. With baggage light, and a mind full of questions, Let the journey of life be of fruitful resurrection.   The four sturdy wheels are, positivity, confidence, tenacity and observance, Life has enough […]

How did I fall in Love?

How did I fall in love? To you my dear friend Everything is unplanned It is fate’s will That our paths were crossed Be a part of each other’s journey Every time I see you My loves go ponder I begin to love all of you My heart never stops […]

I Wish and Long

I long for a tender touch the one that titillates clouds to burst into raindrops changes the contour of parched earth transforms brooks to pregnant rivers   I vie for such a subtle touch that  nurses my parched lips heals my wounds and scars makes me feel cosy to start […]

The Gift of Seasons

The leaves painted brown naturally. The forest floor carpeted dry, Leaves fallen hither and thither. Trees standing tall, with naked grasses, Struggling with last fraction of freshness, Remaining nature heeds the call of Autumn. The clear blue sky gives hope of clarity, Warmth is all we cry for intensity, Heat […]

A Salute

In this narcissistic world, people sempre salute the aurora or dayspring, But I always doff my hat to the sundown, gloaming. Because every rise has a fall.                                               […]

Mother’s Love

There was a time, when a lot of mothers stayed at home and there were home chores to be finished at that period.   The time was different and circumstances were unique, but now it’s as if there is something missing somewhere.   Today’s mothers pick and drop her kids […]

A Ballad to the Uncelebrated Hero of the Mahabharat

He lay sprawled upon the crimson earth Like a lotus floating atop a scarlet stream. His eyes closed; He sleeps amidst a red field of flowers Swathing endlessly, A stretch of rough land. The depressing chilly moon Beckons wolves and jackals forth. To ravage and to denude; they leap. But […]
