It darted in the deep brown woods and clapped and cooed and laughed and croaked. It swooped itself, down to the clovers, and rose high among the aged oaks. When crisp butterflies visited wild flowers, it fluttered beside them, holding its tongue. Secretly it gulped in their myriad colours; not knowing it drank reflections of... Continue Reading →
Dreams for Sale
The golden sun dipped into the sea, leaving behind red and purple hues in the sky. And I walked down that behind road, with some more unfulfilled dreams to hide. I put away a few more of them, and they behaved like thieves in hiding. Their numbers grew as the darkness did, their unrest told... Continue Reading →
Murder in Mime
Flames burst alive in the grate wildly prancing in a rhyme. And the wood burns away engulfing evidence of the crime. A broken pen, a smashed ink-pot, papers strewn all over the place. The clock strikes one, it strikes two A broken knife left in haste. Whining of the wolves is heard heard by the... Continue Reading →

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 →
Let’s fall in love all over again…
We’ve had unspoken utterances And we’ve said those 3 words too Silent fights and lonely nights And I’ve read your eyes like a book My possession still bears the ambigram where two names read just the same. So I want to say to you Let’s fall in love all over again… My bedroom mirror stares... Continue Reading →
Recollections
Like the creaky wheel of an old cart and a rickety rickshaw rideLike the sooty kettle on a black stoveand the shine in my blind mother's eye.Like the bullock that ploughs the fieldand the well that goes down deepLike the post office at the end of the laneand dried hay that lies on a heapLike...
