He rests under the lush cedar tree, Wearing the armour of bravery, From the cage of time, he’s finally free, Under the canopy of stars, tonight he sleeps. … For long, he fought through blood and gore, Against the times, he waged a war, His sword has defeated many a foes, Before his body fellContinue reading “The fallen soldier!”

A careless match
I was his home, his refuge, Or so I believed, Blinded to a moment, when I became, A dig for his cavalcading vices, A nest, harbouring his ego, A harrowing realm, for his anger, A distressed abode for his unabashed lust, And when, out of arrogance and pride, He deemed me his irrefuted property. …Continue reading “A careless match”
The poet in me
I took a stroll down memory lane, Looking back upon some unamended bonds, And a few smiling memories, And the poet in me got to work, To form an eidetic imagery For the stories that lay prest, Between the sealed lips that were once verbose. … The wandering poetic mind, Finds respite for my wearyContinue reading “The poet in me”
Music- language of soul
They say music transcends words, Wouldn’t you agree? For it leaves an everlasting mark On eternity. … Bridging gaps, erasing boundaries, Of language and society, All you need is a beat, And a passion for variety. … Music brings creation, A surge of passion, It lets you be the wizard, Who pours life into emotion.Continue reading “Music- language of soul”
Unheard story of a refugee
I come from a distant land, Laden under the weight of sorrows, Unbridled and threadbare, Holding on to unknown tomorrows. … My land was fruitful and merry, Ringing with joy and laughter, Until the day it became a horrendous scene, Of death, threats and manslaughter …. People running amok, Under the deluge of gunfire andContinue reading “Unheard story of a refugee”
Sunshine in a dark place
I find myself trapped, As I slowly regain my sense, And breathe in the murky stench, Of a deserted, dingy place. … I lull in and out of oblivion, As a rancour builds up within, And try to move my limbs barely, As I feel the blood flow ebbing. … I try to steady myContinue reading “Sunshine in a dark place”
The winged key
The key to his heart, Fluttered on butterfly wings, Across meadows and pastures, Oceans and seas. … She searched for it, High and low, On a magical broom, She sweeped through. … It lay at rest at last, In the respite of her palms, With the lock she finally opened, And tore down his walls.
Gifting a basket of happiness
Today I’m finally free From the agony of My self inflicted reveries, And the looming miseries. … I bundle up the love, That till now I gave to others, And wrap it in silver paper, Tying a satin along the corners. … The endless nights I spent awake, Orbiting with the moon, I douse themContinue reading “Gifting a basket of happiness”
Ecosystem restoration
Where would the cuckoo bird sing, Where would the rivers flow, Where would the deer gallop, Where would the wild flowers grow? … Where would the butterflies dance, How would the bees collect nectar, When wildfires devour our forests, Hectare by hectare. … When would we realise, How far we’ve come Savagely brutalising the mutedContinue reading “Ecosystem restoration”
Plant hope in the barren soul
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”
