Freedom

Perching frivolously, on its tree top Blissfully enjoying, the taste of freedom A bird’s life, has a beauty of its own With no barriers, with no boundaries Soaring high, to its zenith Without any obstacles, to challenge it Oblivious of enviable glances, from the human eye A sense of longing, erupts in one’s heart An [...]

My First Baby

The feeling, one of its kind I was expecting for the first time With sleepless nights and restless days I had to go a long way Just a feel of her inside me Meant the whole world to me With patience and a long wait Lucky day came and finally we met When you came [...]

Battlefield Empathies

Our eyes surveyed the vast battlefield An aftermath of a bloody war Him and I, we were the triumphant victors And above our heads we raised the shield The crown for which we sacrificed our men The symbol of our power and strength We raised it over the vanquished that lay In stillness of death [...]

Days of Yore

Days of Yore… Was it the blue azure? Of a summer sky faded, Or those scattered clouds that Stretched above us and shaded, Our innocent souls from the burning ball, Or was it in those friends of mine who For me, would happily take the fall… Maybe it was my mothers embalming caress, her soothing [...]

Melancholia

My life, pre ordained and ill fated, a certainty of pain. Helplessness, brings me down….to tears, But wont break me, my love…stronger than me, ill be up again… Like the moth beating against the window, His love, to his death it steers. Fluttering….in helplessness, in earnest love of a light, Which will never know… Of [...]

The Hangman’s Noose

It stands proud and tall, Never in sternness faltering, A constant threat to all. Ah, it never fails to kill, Just one jerk about your neck, And you will hang quite still! With hooks three, It will hold up more than one shamed convict, Ironically displaying them shamelessly for all to see! Tall, dark, handsome, [...]

Eve Song

I wait everyday, for the sunsets I wait for you, and so my world begins…. You come dressed in sparkling stars, Brighter than diamonds. The crescent moon as if smiling, The shooting stars, ecstatic, So we meet again…. Like always. And if a passer-by saw us, I’m sure he’d think of us to be one. [...]

Stripes or Solids

Stripes or solids, An interesting game, And if the pocket of opportunity were bereft you, who is it you would blame?! Many would say it’s who it is you choose to be, A Solid soul, worth other people’s trust, but dull and mundane, Or Stripes, with sharp cutoffs of shaded past; shadows evil, sins medieval, [...]
