Early one morning, as fresh springtime was just ending,
I was hiking in the woods, and overhearing the birds sing.

And with a tranquil heart, and lost in a deep green world,
I was reveling in the gaiety,...

GRIMM’S FAIRY TALE RETOLD

In a beautiful huge green forest,
Lived 3 honest people, Hansel and Gretal
And their father,
And two wicked women, the witch,
And a wife who was also a step-mother.
The honest three were approached by the...

And it was as God and His Word had said –
I watched the lions and the cattle alike, grazing on renewed Earth,
Laughter filled the roads of righteousness,
Each action was a kiss from the Spirit,
Flowing in...

I am relatively disheartened
Everyone seems strengthened
By their happy-go-lucky lives
Then, the depression arrives

I am awkwarded and speechless
No one seems to mind my distress
Success and gladness is too far from my reach 
I am acting selfish, but...

In our highschool, we had to go for masses every Saturday and Sunday
And some girls even went for masses early mornings during the week
The nuns kept strict eyes on us
We had limited socializing time with...

He approaches fast

We bump - silly heart beats wildly
Him - lost in thought- No word of apology
We pass each other

He approaches fast

Eyes so blue - elicits soundless sighs
He stares - out into distant skies
We pass...

Overhearing conspiracies
playing hide and go seek
and the shining had gangreen
disguised as just a tape
Falling forever
through the rabbit hole

Tag you're it
now activate your subconscious
The first dance
speaks for me
with a curse to break a curse

The black widow...

Death calling

Very few are talented; gifted to discern the undetected sleeping peacefully, Whispering tightly sworn secrecy. Few are specially hand-pick curse to detect.
Numb wind- gentle breeze, cold air breathing salty rusty slightly decayed; mask in...

Balance

In the middle
Between two people, equally needy
Thinking to satisfy both
Win-win, no loss
As a hen does for her chicks, 
Or a fair judge in the courts
A case between the servant and boss

The contrast between night and...

I can’t tell you.
I can’t say it out loud.
I’ll whisper in the night,
when the wind is high.
I’ll write it into
every poem I breathe.
but I can’t admit this -
this thing 
to you. 
The truth is,
it’s hard...

It's like overhearing whispers 
Above the rustle of fallen leaves and twigs
Breaking under two pairs of feet apiece
Of bachelors and spinsters
And remembering, it's the dead of winter
A mixing of elements. Go figure
You turn a pillow...

What makes you break into a smile
And makes your heart blissfully happy?

Sunshine after showers
A candle lit while thinking of a loved one
Lighting an incense stick in a moment of gratitude
A good book by the fireplace

Colors, I see colors and textures around me. 
The scent of the hot wires and every spark 
that tames the perpetual falling and forever 
running metro. There are people, all sorts of people, 
eagerly waiting,...

It was just another ordinary day
Scattered notes are all over the place
Drums trying to maintain a certain beat
Guitars either strumming or singing 

Violins studying their scales and arpeggios
The piano pouring out its player’s soul 
Clarinets...

a nice, steaming breakfast,
finishing the punch line...

At times I wonder,
haven't we ever met before?
The thin ribbon of wind that once passed by,
kissing your chiseled bearded jaw,

Stepping into an unfamiliar view
The room, the faces,  everything is new
You've done what you're asked but no one's around
Barely quiet but hard to make a sound

Nothing left to do but sit and just wait
Watching...

the crowd amassed ‘round —
HE gave orders to cast off
who would follow HIM?

“wherever YOU go,”
a scribe attempts to follow
HIM into the boat

regrettably quick —
for the SON OF MAN’s homeless
and now rocks the boat

Depression knocked on my mind
and asked to come in.
Depression like a contagious
cold tried to settle in.

Overhearing a whispered conversation
It caused her a bit of consternation

She learned she was to be terminated
Her teaching job, she thought, might be eliminated

But an angry suitor she had rebuked
And mockingly called him a messed up...
