Unsaid words
Unrevealed emotions
And such profound communication?...

My grave

I had dug a grave
for myself
to bury my faults

Many a people
helped me fill it
with sweets and salts....

Beyond this world

Between you and me
Silence speaks
For it’s a heart-to-heart communication.

Between you and me
Distance doesn’t matter
For it’s a soul-to-soul...

Starry-eyed

Words of care, concern,
reverence, admire,
Kindled in my heart
an unknown fire

 
For I am so naïve
don’t blame yourself
But I plead thee
to save me from...

Why fear when future is unknown

Devoid of all the juices of life
A dry leaf
Isolated herself from the life
Out of grief

A stray gust of wind got hold
Of her wrist
Along she went without any strength
Or wish to resist

On the way a bush snatched her away
And...

It's how you comprehend

Facets are many
Hidden or known
Take for example
A carved stone
For some it’s an artifact
For some it’s a boulder
Beauty lies
In the eyes of...

Peek into the crevice

Peep through the window
A cracked wall ahead
Into the crevice
Focus the eye stead
Hollow and dark
Eerie and chiller
Like my inside
Is this the mirror?
Bowing my head
Look down and find
The fracture in my heart
Is the picture in...

Food for thought

Spicy essence
Of teasing
Delicious aroma
Of attraction
Sweet fragrance
Of love
Bitter taste
Of rejection

Pungent tinge
Of anger
Hot flame
Of vengeance
Sour flavor
Of reasoning
Salty pinch
Of...

Perfect example

Had thought in childhood
That I would be a Paradigm
To the older generation
And those in their prime
And to many more
In every era and time

 
As I grew old and older
And struggled to become mature
Trying to achieve perfection
I...

Beg your pardon!

No pretense,
No deceit.
A pure and chaste,
Honest conceit.

No modesty,
No naivety.
A shy but strong,
Self gravity.

No matching flower,
In your garden.
O God!
I beg your pardon....

Would you?

If I could
Hide you from the world
Would you be mine?...

It wasn't me

It wasn’t me
He was speaking to someone with a smile
And thousand knives dug into my heart,
The pain dripping from the wounds
I collected in my eyes and didn’t let it drop

It wasn’t me
He was all over someone trying to impress
And cold...

How helpless!

I stand amid the roar
of a surf - tormented shore

And I hold within my hand
grains of golden sand

How few! Yet how they creep
through my fingers while I weep

For I feel I am losing
prized assets without using

Wish I could...

Oh, my dear heart!

From the dripping blood
on murder of desires
Nurtured the heart
to flourish with satires

Now all emotions are mock
and laughter is fake
everything is superficial
for my heart’s sake

Like an innocent child
heart is happy with...

Crumbling

Wandering in the wilderness
Of hurt and pain
Collecting fragments of scattered ruins
Life is still crumbling
Like the truth of dreams
Seen with open eyes
Riding on the wings of hope
Life is still...

Walking down the lane

Why do I turn back
again and again
What do I expect?
I've left something
behind
Is that what I suspect?
Or I want to see my footsteps
to pass judgement
in that respect.
Or I'm scared someone is
following me
and want to inspect....

Late love

Much after the summer sunshine,
Through wither spring and chilly nights
your loving fingers seek mine now
when autumn had also lost all fights

I do remember my ancient tears
But their dampness monsoon has forgotten
I mourn no more my...

House, not home

Straw after straw, she collected
and spent days to build a nest
Far and wide, higher and lower
she flew continuous without a rest
Harsh sun and pouring rain
couldn’t dampen her burning zest
Adversities, enemies, obstacles, etc.
they...

Quaking moments

She closed her eyes wanting to devour,
the warmth of sunrays with familiar savour.
The loving touch encompassed her entire body,
every nerve responded to the sweet melody.
It stirred such passions that she trembled.

She raised her hands...

Waiting for you

Door is open, please come in!
Waiting for you, good evening!

But, wait a while before you come,
The mat on my door says, “Welcome”
On the mat shake off your anger and hostility
Dust down and wipe off all the negativity

Toss your ego into...

Hero

Every woman has a secret hero
Whom she does hero worship,
He is the one from whom she wants
Something more than friendship

He is the one she looks up to
For advice and worldly wisdom
And save her from the bad world
To make queen of his...

Who bothers?

Here, I’ve lost
the desire to live.
There, birds are chirping
as if nothing is amiss.

 
Here, I’m counting
every living moment,
There, flowers are smiling
as if this world is a bliss

 
Here, I’m thinking
of leaving everyone,

A lifetime apart

I believe in life after death
You must have again taken breath
As a new being on this earth
And would have forgotten previous birth

But I am still here, same memories, same heart
Though in the same world but a lifetime apart
Today, I am a...
