Sisters In Poetry
Two sisters born afar from my terrain
one rising near Taj Mahal ‘s glorious dome ,
another hopping on lanes of maple trees;
still, poetry traces their heartfelt rays
enduring continental divide
like silken wishes on angel cheeks
plying on a relay of starlit skies...
One a sweetened Jasmine utterly
devoid of night's umbra, ohh the other,
a peppered Cinder sizzling with
the sun's...

the possession of a veselthe possession of a vessel

a cradle call
a steady fall
a empty cost
and all's lost
a candle care
a random share
a fullness last
and all's cast
a constant claim
a longing name
a least of more
and all's before
a costly care
a vessel rare

Tenth of JulyIt's quite a bright dusk today
I would choose Neapolitan yellow for the sky
Although I haven't touched colours for years
After all, images and paintings are quite enough
So why create more without urgent necessity?
The thick foliage of the trees around the balcony
Stands still as if painted on a canvas
It’s a heatwave now, I'm sitting in my...

Ode to Krish
She is not made of atoms,
but aftermaths
the kind that linger in a room long after
the lights remember to flicker back on.
Her spine?
An origami of fallen yesterdays,
creased by collapse,
but folded forward into flight.
They call it resilience,
but she knows better
it’s architecture,
a cathedral of nerve built from
"this will not break me,"
hummed on repeat until it didn’t.
She speaks fluent...

What you don't know won't hurt you~that she saw her mother as a child lying strewn on the kitchen floor black and blue~
~that the taste does not matter only that it should be sufficient~
that what you don't know won’t hurt you
~that she’d let those who don’t know her home feel the fight stuffed in her school blouse~
~that she has...

Melanin GlowBorn from the sun's ancient kiss,
A gift wrapped in golden brown bliss,
I carry the stories of ancestors proud,
Their strength echoing clear and loud.
Melanin flowing through my veins,
Like rivers of cocoa after the rains,
Each shade a testament to divine design,
From ebony deep to honey wine.
They tried to dim this sacred light,
But stars were born to shine...

RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-
Right before the Dawn
We arrived awaken
In consciousness
Something from our slumber
Just before the dawn
We would walk hand in hand
Arm to arm praising in
God, Hallelujah
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond, the stars
The stars
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond the stars, the stars

Line of inquiry: fact or fiction? what does it mean in actuality, to be touched by spirit?
Syncing retains aurous, aglow affection,
Restore it, and be sure it fosters motivation.

I Write Of Love A CollaborationLyrics By Eileen Manassian
Music provided by JT Curtis
I write of love, the kind that never dies
That gleams with beauty in a lover's eyes
I write of love, the kind that conquers death
That while it lives, it perfumes every breath
I write of love that grants its loved one peace
That opens passion's gate in sweet release
I write of...

You said I was childish, never serious , took things simple but what you left out was why I carried myself as such. Truth be told, thats what I resorted to after my aftermath of my being serious, being honest, giving my all
Maybe I have suffered so much pain that I chose not be...

I CRY OUT TO YOU-verse 1.Surely I come
Before you
I 'm perfected, in you I rise

In the darkness and the light

Hallelujah...

No titleA bond like ours is like a bud,
Innocent with no identity to mud or blood.
A bud is small and delicate,
It describes our bond as I dedicate.
A flower bud is fragile and vulnerable,
Giving our bond a name is unreliable.
A bud has full potential for growth,
So is our bond and must be nurtured by both.
Let's not rush...

The Seeker and The Traveller
The seeker
Seeks of the ultimate truth
For the unknown to be known
The unseen, seen
The unspoken, heard
Solitude
The exploration comes from within.
The traveler
A traveler, not the ordinary one
But of a different kind
Travels through the space & time
Through the dimensions unknown
On a journey without an end
A journey that’s just begun...

Thank you GodThank you,
and all of your angels above
Thank you,
for all your love
Thank you,
for helping me
Guiding me,
providing me
Thank you,
for giving me strength
Thank you,
for the water I drank
Thank you,
for the food I eat
Thank you,
for my two feet...

Solving complex projects,
As I project my best aspect,
Into a visual effect,
Directing my reality,
To reflect what I wish to see,
And it involves me trusting me....
