On my way to work everyday,
I see a roadside florist. Old.
Sitting amidst happy colors -
pansy, roses and marigold.
Some come there for wedding bouquets
Some come there on a happy day –
And then, there are people who buy

Lazy Sunday afternoon,
Sitting in my balcony
Counting on my joyous times
Smiling on my agony.
Scattered papers on my desk -
Some new, some old and dreary-
Interleaved an unsent letter
And some unquenched query.

Is it for us to tame the tides?
Is it for us to stop the breeze

What’s there inside your eyes?
Deeper than an ocean,
Brighter than clear blue sky –

I stepped out on my way of life, I stepped out of my home,

Neon lights, glowing bright
Halogen mopped street

Sipping alone his gin,
