A cascading string of pearls; condensed water plunging from the sky. Waterfalling books off my open shelf; a strained relationship's last try. A bereaved family-tree's autumn leaves; and the water bearer's broken pot. Shattering belief after asking to trust again; on the doorstep, a last forget-me-not. Tumbling entreaties at Death's arrival, counting blessings for barter... Continue Reading →
Travelling at Night
A blanket with doodles of greying edifices, sleeping fields and dotted streetlights folds in several places where the roads meet and the streets part. The earth-a blanket when the night sky comes out to watch. I'm a tiny speck moving on the rough sketch when all is silent, everyone is asleep and I'm travelling. I... Continue Reading →

In The Sands of Rajasthan
Jet black silhouettes of trees, Against the dried inky canvas-the sky. A full moon shines in the left hand corner, And becomes the twinkle in your eye. Swiftly pass the black landscapes, And silence descends on them like dew. A million thoughts I weave into the sky, And create a black and white picture of... Continue Reading →

Disappointment

The Songstress
To drift each night with loneliness Embark on a journey of solitude and walk into live dreams of times I rued. Oh! What a delicate life and such distress! Yet I wake each morn; a petit songstress to flutter and sing songs in multitude. Each day a varied perch and altitude, and a will to put myself... Continue Reading →
If
Some poems are immortal. Some are eye-opening. Some touch your heart. And some...teach you how to live. The poem If by Rudyard Kipling does all of this. It is immortal, it's an eye-opener, it touches your heart, and yes, it teaches you how to live! If If you can keep your head when all about... Continue Reading →
Reflection
It's a yellow summer morning; as I open my diary. And on this grey cloudy night; I read about a girl I used to be. I read about the high swings. I read about the delicious cakes. I read about frequent crimson smiles. And I read of retrospective mistakes. I read of the dreams I... Continue Reading →
