mind that thinks
heart that feels
senses five

reflect

thoughts vary
emotions differ
senses too can ebb

yet

we are alive
in the waking state
but what of dreamless sleep

where are we then
we recall it not
yet awake from it nevertheless 

so

are we not the screen...

There upon the courtship,
proclaimed, a sorrowful
spirit hearkened upon 
this ballad of misery
and burden.  For her
grief and unrelished
despair, the angels
of Michael, our saintly divine,
answered, whil'st upon 
the hour of marriage royal,
an unwanted surprise,
a battle declared,...

A visitor, 
I sit by night and day
unmoved to pen a loving word
no more the Muse its lightning thrusts
of inspiration cast my woeful way
while waiting, watching, 
nothing left
of hope, of comfort – 
nothing right to...

To vt
Gorgeously graceful the group of three
Great gals emit grin with glee
Exuberant energy encompasses
All the excitement and surpasses
Ethnicity finds its abode
In form of their drapes adored
South Indian bevy with bewitching smile
Thus goes an extra mile
One...

the waning moonlight thinly enveloped 	
the dusky canvas obscurely sprawling
across the way from the window I looked,
I knew a park was there with slides and swing	
but for the moment dark revealed nothing,
for the moment I...

What attracts you to someone?

Is it just the physical beauty
That smile that stretches for miles
The eyes
The body
The hair 
The way they can just sit there 
And fascinate you with every little thing that they do
Is...

To vt
How sweet is this divine duo..!
Let me complete the verse due
Ethnicity emitted elegantly
As they pose magnificently
Majestic bevy with hair cascadic
To extoll I find words sporadic
A light flashing adds grace
They resemble Goddesses
Royal and regal aura

The blood and lapis daylight sets
in ether. How the mind resets
brutality of winter chill
with February's codicil;
what gossamer a dream begets.

I hear the crickets in the dark,
their clicking takes up where the lark
has been. The flagrant...

“Beauty”


I see you now…smaller, more fragile, 
balancing yourself when you walk,
the wind at your back, unkind to the wisp of strength
that still clings to your fervent spirit.

I marvel at you every day;
the little...

Life matters!
There are so many strange salutations in Bangla, did you ever notice, there?
Thou, Thee and they, there! So many strangers are in affluence in an estranged mannerism, in near and far!
Why must this be...

I tried to take the higher ground, I’m sorry, I just can not
The words you spoke have ricocheted and now I’m deep in thought
Did you hold her closer when she faltered? or did you take...

We go through waking, dreaming and deep sleep,
imbibing impressions in accordance with our awareness,
strangely making peace with our self-evident ignorance,
living by instinct, investigating not the truth of our being,
content in nurturing aspirations of decaying body-mind.

Lingering light dwindles among the horizon
Twilight fades with a farewell from the sun
Shadows disappear as stars sprinkle the sky
with the moon illuminating those who walk by
Woods appear so much more ominous at night
silent blackness causing...

Long time no see
Possibly display pic thee
How are you with chores aplenty
Along with thy sweet son dainty 
Suddenly we stopped communication
Due to heavy schedules and perspiration
Worried a little about you
And thy working hard true

You painted a portrait
The lines were severe
The color was harsh
No vibrance found here.

Youth had diminished
The sounds of goodbye
Friends that were cherished 
Even thoughts of suicide.

You painted a portrait
No room for soft colors
It made others frown,
Misunderstand,...

When the season of splendor sprinkles 
the scent of sprightliness,
when the koels and kingfishers sing hymns of hope 
and merrily waltz their wings of chartreuse dreams, and
when from her day dream, my muse emerges in...
