Paint 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...

In the stillness of a twilight hour,
Where shadows stretch and silence grows,
I call out to the fading light,
But the echo returns not, as it goes.
Beneath the boughs of ancient trees,
Whispers linger on the breeze,
Yet every...

Life 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...

Flakes fly around— of old wishes,
Unfulfilled and still far from dead,
Borne by age-old rickety bed,
Burdens of old dreams still anguish.
In teeming tamas, a lone head,
Old wishes free from a long leash,
Long-bottled perfume un-faded,
Its scent ye...

three 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...

*Reassured*
Amidst the glitzy party, I wallow in suffocation, 
Secluded in the bathroom – my apt accommodation. 
Trapped within the hollow walls, I weep aloud, 
Brutally slapping myself until my brain clouds.
My nerves throttling, I strangle...

Old wisdom runs deep 
Like rivers through our bodies
Heart speaks what mind knows

Blood carries stories forward 
Through time's gentle flow

Love flows in our veins 
Like songs sung by our parents
Nature keeps its course

Interlude

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...

I 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

The 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.

Feeding 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...

Red 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...

She 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,...

His was a lifetime 
spent grabbing

	stashing
	garnering

try-try-trying  to fill  
his soul hole   carved deep
   from a youth
   from a poverty
of having nothing.

But all was but a sinkhole

Ain't it funny
How one day you're right 
Then the next day you're wrong 
Hanging on tough
Trying to stay strong
During those days 
That drag on so long 
When you're not right

You're wrong

But oh those days 
When...
