Best Carry Forward Poems
PortraitPaint me blue like the sky
rainbow's smile; thunder's cry
clouded curtains rife with rain
till shroud is lanced and bluebirds fly again
Wistful moods in mahogany frames
melancholy painters with undiscovered names
rearrange reveries in...

A Piece of DreamI look behind to see my dream has shattered
into a million pieces on the floor
I knew that this was going to happen
but didn't know it would hurt much more
It was the only way this dream should end
it wasn't one that had a hope
it's better off...

An Unexplored Adventure I Know What Will BeAn unexplored Adventure !!!
I know what will be !!!
There is an emptiness, creating – depression – a hole
that a deep sadness fills – thoughts of it, take their toll
on an alone heart that seeks a destiny with so much more.
The choices one makes, become the...

Listen To the MoonThe plain is fuzzing with the ingress racing.
Predicted rain is heard in the birds singing.
Sow your seed when the moon tells its time.
Hear the tales close to the fire; it's sublime.
Contemplate the skies for the hawks cry.
Focus on the breeze and the moonlit sky.
The noble...

The Ring of DiamondOld sayings are gold for many
Proverbs are power house of wisdom to some
‘’Tit for tat ‘’is one such ring of diamond
Worn on their necks, revenge is its another sweet name
The lure or the allurement of it is so strong
That hardly...

The Trade OffRed bulb
casts sultry shadow
across the
room
spilling onto the
street
air heavy with
illicit
night scent
rain smog weed and
jack
clinging
along for the ride
blurry eyed
distorted reflection dares you
“look up”
shoes
high with painted toes
pulse quickens
stockinged legs the
pathway to shapely hips and
white lace panties
silk
skims navel and
cups breasts
dark
hair...

Three Brothersthree connected by blood
three fated to strive
three to stem the flood
three, of whom one must die
together they stood and answer'd the call
as one they stood, to country's cry
in mind as one man tall
in history, to battle they fly
to one must death come
to one must agony...

Now That We Are HereLife is an interesting phenomenon
Everyone talks about it.
But who knows about it completely?
Is it so difficult to be fathomed?
Having said that it’s not bizarre to comprehend.
All scriptures teach the logics of life.
But the journey of life provides one to make it out better.
If...

The First DateShe was the first to disappear
Behind the mannequin in "Quirk",
And he, from the cretaceous year
Followed like a Rex in dark.
She swallowed a tranquillizer
And that was showing on her cheeks
pink like a shade of amber, and dear
She was blushing like critics.
It could be any of...

InterludeInterlude
It becomes apparent
As the days go by
That with years behind you
A desire quietly lye’s
A commitment is made
Day one after the kiss
Of a life full of wonder
Wanting of love and bliss
So for every kiss of the lips
Every caress of the flesh
Patience is yearning
For the intimacy...

CelebrationYou sprinkle golden dust
I read them and feel silky
In dark or light, read I must
Two are toward the path milky
Even in the nursing home
Amidst the smell of illness
Golden dust do roam
Vacuum cries for fullness
I am a dreamful river
You are a flirting ocean
You and I together...

Lyric
Feeding the DucklingsFeeding the ducklings one day,
I slipped and fell in all the way.
'Though the lake was murky,
the weather was sultry.
I was inclined to stay.
As I floated on my back,
I heard the ducklings quack.
The fluffy clouds rolled by,
an azure coloured sky.
Transported was I
back to my childhood.
Happy times...
