I was a busy and active person, who loved to savor life.
I was also amiable and friendly, avoiding excess strife.

Like the glad golden sun, ever beaming blissful radiance,
Indeed drawing all others, with its cheerful brilliance.

Naked trees whose dilapidated bodies have outgrown the test of time
shoot unseemly  into the unaccommodating sky flustering as they walk by
Nude trees laden with deceptive shadows waiting for the morrow
Echoing  a somber tune...

Dear anxiety
Nemesis to my reality,
mental manipulator of tentative trust,
massacring my once sagacious soul -
you cut me into a slice of loneliness.

The fault is in our thoughts,
so I am haunted by the things you never said.
You...

Like stars winking through the cosmos 
Lifting spirits and warming hearts 
Coloring the soul in a tune of light indigo
Hope whispering across my thoughts 
Laughing love through my soul 

Compassion lights my...

My heart        a sky of sunny spells
Of passing clouds and  falling tears

Sometimes it shines     Sometimes it rains
on our dried river and fading flames.

My life began with you and me
Two hearts, two minds, two pieces of a dream
Two individuals who loved without conditions
Two people who felt feelings beyond recognition
Two who became one like God planned long ago

to once strong hands gone feeble and disfigured

A Haunting Waltz

As I recline, wearied, on this eve so dark and dreary,
Whispers in the shadows, tales of Victorian eerie.
The moon, a spectral lantern, spills its ghastly glow on cobblestone streets,
Where specters of yore, in...

Thanks I would say for the chance to create,
Dreams to elate, and fantasies to stargaze;
Recalling fondly the fun themes of contests
Which frequently I set free on butterfly wings
In gardens of spring on scented ruby winds
Endearing...

What lies within these walls
I hear the siren calls…
I hear them in the midst of affliction
I hear them in the shadows of lies
Listen and you might find direction
Within these woods of misty lullabies

What lies within...

Through thick skins and rainbows
Creeping along the shores of azure sea
Waters gracing inspiration and mystery

Feelings alive with a fire that thrives
Born of brilliant hues of moonbeams 
Filled with glittering emotions that shine
Soothing...

It's 3 am,
her pillow soaked in regret.
Loss has left her spirit lonesome,
darkness a definition of insanity.

In the silence of the night,
vexatious voices vibrate inside
her somber state of mind.

Restless, she sits at her proverbial piano,
as a...

The world is a canvas, painted in shades of gray,
Where colors have faded, and light has gone astray.
Each sunrise a burden, a promise of another day,
To trudge through the mud, and find no sun's ray.

Yearning for a quiet place to stay
To hear strong words of wisdom
That will empower and nurture my wounded soul
The night's are not silent and the days
are rambunctious and noisy...

Here I lie beside you
My heart goes thump.thump.thump.
My soul dances inside you
Reveling in the texture of your own.
Electric and flowing 
The currents of our love
Glow like neon lights
Illuminating the hope in my eyes.
Though we're not...

In Delhi's heart, a tale untold,
Of towering shadows, harsh and cold.
Gleaming steel and vibrant lights,
Hide a stark contrast, unseen at night.

Pan across narrow, winding lanes,
Zoom in on makeshift shacks, defying rains.
Corrugated tin, a patchwork quilt,
Where...

The Sea
 
My sleeping spirit wakes
As the town’s vespers
Climb the stairless sky
And the sea whispers. 
 
The rushing waves crash
On the craggy             ...

breathing and beating with fallen angels holding on

more for my fault than for any other reason...

that I forgot the scent of the perfume 
of your hands, mother.
