If we are not capable of loving and forgiving ourselves, we can be no good to others. And then.. Some moments turn very plain and very dark, And then.. your thoughts just hang like stars on this blanket of sadness.. that is the sky.
And then..

The Great Facade
How I wish I could walk through the doors of your mind Take a look at the destruction I expect to find A scratch here, a rupture there All darned with terror and despair Is there any hope of restitution? Amongst all the confusion? Any shovel to clear the mess away… And brighten up your […]
Eternal Longing..
The shore whispers to the sea… What are your waves struggling to tell me? The sea is speechless… numb with a haunting silence… The waves unable to let the shore know, the bliss of every caress…every touch, The sheer contentment is in the ‘knowing’… nothing can part the sea from the shore…. An eternal Yes! Forever bliss.. to feel the […]
Rushing Past Life
For years I have woken up, with the sun shining by my side, Watched myself in the mirror, dressed, bathed, looked better everyday, Chosen colours to wear, pinned my hair to let nothing but my work abide, Drove past the hush and rush of lives, as they flew past me with the clock’s pace, Against the volatile heart, my mind waged a war, […]
Quest..
So many questions I ask myself every day, About right and wrong, On how to decide what right is, and what is wrong, Since the moment the alarm strikes a chord, Till the moment my senses fade and drop, Questions of ‘how’s and ‘when’s, Of how to answer a question with a ‘no’ ? And if I […]
Theatre Of Life
When the lights flood the dusty space above a wooden platform, the darkness beyond its length, from where applause comes as a storm, the boundaries of lines and curves, within which art unfolds on-stage, as the colors of make-up, and volumes of wigs and costumes define a character’s cage, the aesthetics of art, rubbed upon each […]
Rhythms Of Life
The beat of drums, leads the thumping of my heart, The clouds bursting against one another; awaken the heart with a start, The flute pumps waves of melody seamlessly into the air, Peacocks dance in the rhythmic rains, as love pours down, along with streams of care, The strings of violins, invoke memories of love and […]
What’s Your Excuse?
I am too old. I am too tired. It’s too late. I’ve a loan to pay off. My parents will kill me if I do this. My family depends on me for their bread and butter. I don’t have the finances. I have no time. I don’t think I am good enough to do it. […]
Star Dust
Your dreams tumble, Caught by delicate Silver cobwebs. Time slips by, and you think You have only so much time, Desperate, seeking, Running out of the time That you have allowed yourself, To find your dreams, shaped into real things, Things you can hold. But dreams are star dust And they sprinkle Over your universe […]
Full Circle..
Every tender shoot grows green and withers to brown one day Every flower will be sucked through its tendons and become nothing one day Every pebble was part of a strong rock Every raindrop seeping into the earth was once cradled by a cloud flock The tiny feet twisting within a womb grow old to […]
The Path Of Light
Good bye.. I have to go now to the inner realms And roam there I am too tired Of seeking Of waxing like the moon… Of waning like the tide …. Of wandering out of My soul,out of myself I am tired now of the web of ties and emotions… Unsettling dreams and desires Unfinished […]
The Talking Street
She stood there, Like an old woman with concave lips Like an old banyan that spreads its arms wider and roots deeper Like that rock by the roadside that weathers but waits for you To take a breather and rest. The ruffling leaves echoing a friend’s laughter The swish in the air bringing the scent […]
