Parched Heart
Saturated Emotions
The former's pride
The stubborn latter

Monsoon of Love
lay waiting

Flowers And Leaves

Bright pastel flowers
like luscious lips
charm men,
birds
and insects alike

Leaves grow
in different shades
of green -
green with
envy

Spring

Covers came apart
Life was waiting to break through
My Spring now blossoms!

A Day Of Love?

February 14:
The heart was pierced,
it bled dry
and died

Fools now
celebrate it
as a day of Love!

When we stop to care
Only the best still holds on
Soon, nothing remains.

Course Of Love

In the course of Love,
When the feeling comes and goes,
It takes more than gives.

Family Matters

Family matters:
The ones who have it - complain
Those who don't - miss it!

Remains Of The Pain

Another year gone...
another date to strike-through...
Memories remain

Different places...
and in different time zones...
Hearts feel the same pain

Broken, fragmented...
incoherent moments are...
Her only remains

It's not forgotten...
Not quite remembered as well...
What gives such pain!

Some part lives in you...
And some part resides in me...
so much still remains

We will see it through;
The pain that remains...
and the remains of the pain

Morning Walk

Bougainvillea
white, red, pink and yellow
missing the colour purple

open sky
narrow lanes
clustered forest
fresh air

thirsty bottles walk
hand in hand
benches rest
every now and then

morning banters
breathing in and out
stretching left
stretching right
stretching front and back

sleepy nights wake up slow
young and old faces glow
in the morning sun yellow

the gypsy world travels through
the nooks and corners
mute no more
my morning walk
goes home to rest

Sleepless Summer

cooler - loud and hoarse
summer nights vapourise sleep
eyes wide
frozen dreams

Doubt

The moment you think
This may not be what it is
It ceases to be

Fine Today

An impending doom,
It's all going to end soon.
Today, I am fine.

Judge Me Not

Make me or break me
Judge me not from what you hear
but from what you feel

May Longings

An afternoon brews
Sultry Summer Sweats all through
Desires deepen

Who Am I?

A Hope that soon dies
Or am I the Summer rain
of short existence?

Morning Paper

Morning Paper!
Window to my information
Dipped in morning tea

Rendezvous

It's a rendezvous
Meeting of two hearts and minds
Expectations high!

Heaven

Sleepy afternoon
Dreams of a far away land
Heaven in His arms

Seasons In Delhi

Seasons in Delhi:
Summer melts, Winter freezes
Monsoon's always late!

Good Morning!

yellow horizon
flowers yellow
from the rock rusty brown
leaped the sun yellow
a good morning in the making

The Last Kiss

The last kiss goodbye
Devouring body and soul
Then, to starve for life

Silence

Before the goodbyes
And after it's said and done
Silence takes over

Need

Needed to be held
To be hugged and kissed goodnight
Cried myself to sleep

Imbalance

Seen too many deaths
Somehow lived through all of them
One life too many?

Conflict

Something to fight for
or something to fight against.
Conflict runs the world!

(Un)Said And (Un)Done

of all that was said...
and done...
what was left unsaid...
cannot be undone...

Free Moment

This moment is free...

Past - taxing, Future - unbilled...
Let's live this moment!

His Moon

The Sun is rising...
His Heart is lonely again...
His Moon is dying...

Evolving Past

Looking back, again...

All things good and all things bad...
Still changes with Time...
