Spread on the groundLike leaves in autumnI’ve lost myself to departed seasons To unwritten stanzasIn an unfinished songWe’ve lost ourselves in a rhyme Like miles of wordsRead without an acknowledgmentOur love has frozen in time A disconnected sculptureThat paints no pictureYou and I have torn apart Cold as silenceare the events in my diaryThey gather...

My Own ‘ONE’ Life!
I’ll get myself platinum rings and expensive shoesA long drive with myself to beat the bluesI’ll keep my old friends safe and warmI might get up early sometimes to watch the breaking dawnI’ll learn my lessons before bed and wipe the slate cleanA little bit of pain is essential to savour joy completelyAnd this is...

FRAGMENTS!
You took my flowers And crushed them without pityI wept alone in the darkest part of the city.And finally when my tears had driedYou came around and plasteredyour indifference above my eye.Today I only wish that dayI had not survived…And when my woundshad turned black and blueYou woke me upand razed the hope I had...

RIBBONS
There was once a pink satin ribbon That danced in a slow smooth waltz It adorned my tresses when I was five Every evening when I set out to learn the chords. Another blue satin ribbon Embraced snugly the square little box Guarding my gift for brother each Christmas And tying my affection in a... Continue Reading →

So I want to say to you Let’s fall in love all over again… My bedroom mirror stares... Continue Reading →

I AM…
I'm a wanderer in a highlandI'm the farthest star at nightI'm the deepest rock in the riverI'm the golden ray of sunlightI'm a pastel shade of crayonI'm the second hand of the clockI'm the blade of grass so greenI'm a moment of silence in havocI'm a dew drop on a carnationI'm a gulp of water...

FRIENDS BY THEÂ LAKE
Once upon an ancient timeWhen I was a few years oldI knew the world as a free placeWhen it was only starting to mouldI shone above among the starsBut they shunned me for my little scarI felt alone until one dayA human wrote to me from afarI surmised it was a rhymeThat praised me for...

THANK YOU LORDÂ TENNYSON
Sometimes I read things that transport me to a world that is flawless… To a world that enchants and holds me spellbound… To a world where time stands still… To a world where purity meets perfection and simplicity meets beauty. And I want to thank the writer to pen such words that make me smile... Continue Reading →
