Pyramus was the handsome young man
Thisbe the fair maiden of Babylon.
The houses of their parents did adjoin 
Neighborhood brought the two in relation.
And the acquaintance ripened into love
And the fire within them burnt with bright glow.
Would have married, but their parents forbid
Ardor in hearts of...

I was not ready to lose you.
But you were taken from me, anyway.

Suddenly.

On a sunny day that started so normally.
Without any sign of the emotional pain to come.

Abruptly.

Life’s like that, I guess.
It shouldn’t be that way.  It just is.

Unfair.

Losing a loved one is always...

You give us blessings beyond compare
You don't care what's in it for you
You care for your Brothers, you care about the outcasts
You never say it's not a good time
With you, Everything's in its Right Place
With you, the puzzle is assembled
With you, there is order in...

For only the lonely can know
A selfless act in a selfish world,
Self servers with their lists to show
For only the lonely can know
An act you have nothing to owe,
Rare vessels of goodwill unfurled
For only the lonely can know
A selfless act in a selfish world....

Kindness is a deed no one forgets that easily...
it's given to measure one's selfless love against
another without compassion, regard and mercy;
and however small it may seem, it's a big gift!


Receive that gift with a sincere smile and merry feeling 
by thanking that one when you...

I used to bend to the will of people 
putting them first and selflessly 
only for them to make it feel unequal 
suffering when they don’t help me 

They even sat and doubted my words, 
said attention was my true thirst 
as if I made...

Then Thisbe stole forth as agreed upon
Unobserved her head covered with a veil
Out of city’s bounds edifice well known
Waited for Pyramus near a fountain trail.
In the dim light she descried a lioness
Nearing the fountain with blood reeking jaws
With a recent slaughter to slake her thirst.
She...

The etiquette of the night stands by the curtain with contentment

Picture of crawling crickets hectic body of voters colored

The darkness of imagination manipulates to dark our constitution to 
constituency zone

The constant condemnation is an umbrella shared values and norms to the 
nomadic.

The beauty of the...

Alluring kindness in a gentle, caring gaze,
Altruistic spirit, a beacon in a maze.
Anchor in the storm, a whisper, soft and strong,
As she walks among us, righting every wrong.

Anchored by humility, a beacon ever bright,
Brave spirit, championing justice with gentle might.
Considerate whispers mend a heart that's...

You're so used to
Sharing every bit
Of your life with
Someone else

You're so used to
Breaking yourself
Just to make
A person whole again

That's just what makes you happy

Now you're alone
The parts you've broken 
Are crashing down on
The rest of you that's whole

Now the black mist 
That holds many others
Has...

Forgiving and patient, so kind, 
Affectionate and loving, unconditional;
Tireless, hardworking without complaints, 
Humble and gentle, never does he
Ever grumble in fulfilling our needs;
Resolute and unswerving my dad is, 
Selfless, simple - epitome of sacrifice, and a strict

Disciplinarian, he instilled moral values in us. 
About my...

What is love?
A rhetorical question!
An art movie  I want to watch without an intervention.

What is love?
An amusing venture!
If taken too seriously may turn into a dicey adventure.

What is love?
A companionship for lifelong!
An emotion so mighty and fiercely strong.

What is love?
A luxury not everyone can...
