I tottered under its weight
My body heated up like the sun
A frying egg yolk on the pan
My blood started burning…. burning
A strange madness ...

His friend to be,
Counsellor, guide
Best of my ability.
He oft would say,
“Dad how is this done?...

That was Then, this is Now
...Once,
I saw rainbows,
across the tear washed sky.

Buds burgeoning on every branch,
Flowers ope...

I Can Move Mountains

As the ‘tick-tock’ sound falls in my ears, and its incessant refrain drops like a thud,
My memory unwinds to years fled when we grew up under our parental roof.
Plodding miles through count...

In Passion's Haste
...If I let my heart be broken by a stranger
Is it impossible to believe
Or if loving at the first of sights
Not embarrassingly naive
Or if I claimed to know of true intentions
From a flurried pass...

...AT THE CORNER IN ANNECY
You said you saw bullfinches; as that morning came too quickly,
on that cobbled corner in Annecy, where the beautiful remnants of last night’s voices were left cold amongs...

Fleet Away
...Fleet away!
We fleeted the time carelessly
We fleeted the time carelessly
I had a long wait,
A fretful heart and a dance troupe.
And I sauntered into the room.
For a fleeting moment,

...Ere some three or four-odd days
Began our nature show some craze.
The people, truly afraid, to say,
Nowhere did find a place to stay.

It's never needed
It's filled with arze

For lost time served

Now crushed in the wake of her ascending swirls,
Comfort be gone as bees hold dust for another,
Swarms of butterfly's doth aimlessly hove...
