Be a beacon of light In someone’s desolate depths, Be a flare of fun In someone’s glooming grief. … Bring out the childlike cheerfulness, From their dull dreariness, Bring the wandering weary home, And put them to some rest. … Hear them speak About their loneliness, Then hear some more, As they open up aboutContinue reading “Plant hope in the barren soul”

Glass of sunshine
From his chalice of grief, He extracted tears of joy, He knew he couldn’t move mountains, So he collected drops of dew, And cuz he didn’t want her to wane into The darkness of his absence, He poured all his love Into her glass of sunshine.
Almost like love
Blushing cheeks and sweaty hands, Heartbeats dance a butterfly dance, Almost like love. … Engraved initials in inky hearts, Stolen glances and hidden love notes, Almost like love. … Spring breeze and sashaying trees, Blossoming lilies in burbling creeks, Almost like love. … Silver moonlight and twinkling stars, Granted wishes in stardust shower, Almost likeContinue reading “Almost like love”
My creator
Maa sits on the swing in the balcony, Humming a tune from some old Bollywood movie, And I think to myself, When did I last see her so calm and peaceful. But I have seen her hum before, haven’t I? When she does the things she loves, When she works, When she cooks, Almost allContinue reading “My creator”
One more life
“Listen”, he said, Turning and looking at her serene, sleepy face, To which, she raised a brow, Without opening her eyes, “Don’t go”, he said, “just stay..” She smiled, eyes still shut, Tracing a finger on d edges of his face, Making a mental note of his features, “You know”, she chimed, “I don’t wantContinue reading “One more life”
I want you to stay
Because I wear my heart on my sleeve, And I’ve had it broken many a times, By relying too much, or sometimes too little, Or letting my hopes fly too high, Like a raging wildfire.. Before you came by And you showed me.. That it was ok.. to expect people to love you The wayContinue reading “I want you to stay”
Come dance with me
I know, and you know, That we’re only momentary, Cramped within the lifespan of a snowflake, Or a marshmallow dipped in hot chocolate, A hangover that lasts, only until next morning, But while we’re here, under the starlit skies, Let’s leave the affliction for tomorrow, The pain and the sorrow, Till then, come dance withContinue reading “Come dance with me”
A sick rose
Years have passed, Since I wrote, A word, a letter, To you, about you. I don’t hope, To see you, Nor do I wish, To find you. And yet, Here I am, Rummaging through pages, Of an old diary. All I find, Are broken dreams, Unfulfilled desires and, A sick rose!
Winnie’s Sijo
We brought Theo home, a bundle of joy, Trying to get over our loss, in his playful manners… In the graveyard, Winnie lays at rest, forgotten.
Furniture of my heart
Welcome to the humble abode of my heart, Just mind your head a bit, And leave your shoes in the steel blue shoe rack, In the hallway of the inferior vena cava. … Let me invite you for tea, In the autumnal red atrium, Passing through the tricuspid door entry, Leaving our rancour outside. …Continue reading “Furniture of my heart”
