At the peak of the mountain, she sat on a ledge The rustling wind twirled up her tiny curls As the first light of dawn, crept up the sky’s edge Two tears glistened in the first light, like pearls. Just two, for that was her budget, for joy. In the year gone by, she hadContinue reading “Version 2.0”

Gone
A moment there, another, gone A moment, just, and nothing but A moment, infinite grief, borne A moment, a door, forever shut. Tis’ life, they say, they nod and shrug, Tis’ life, strange it is, hard luck, Tis’ life, I know, I can’t debug Tis’ life and this, it’s going to suck. A sadness creepsContinue reading “Gone”
Clash of the Spectacles
Just a simple walk, they promised each other, Two strangers far away from home; Two broken hearts, on a beach, in summer, A chance collision, in the dashing foam. He was tall, gentle, kind and strong, Glasses, hiding eyes deep, dark and sad She was delicate, alive like a song, Glasses, hiding eyes, mysterious, aContinue reading “Clash of the Spectacles”
A ball to remember
He comes, he fumbles, he smirks, he tumbles, He opens his mouth and concepts stumble An oblong ball that sways and grumbles He teaches, he preaches, to me it’s pure rubbish When he solves mathematics, it sounds like gibberish When he proves, I wonder, How dumb will be the new blunder His voice lulls aContinue reading “A ball to remember”
Dreams
On that lonely lane, with the trees so high, Where birds and bees, both sing and fly, Little flowers bloom To say goodbye to gloom, Green meadows spread for miles and miles, Over hilltops and lawns and stiles; Where rabbits hop around the roads And squirrels quarrel under their abodes, The light breeze plays aContinue reading “Dreams”

What was I a year ago?A Sculpture sculpted from years of care.What am I today,don’t know,The sculpture,to heat and rain, laid bare. Once I was so full of joy,Smiling and Hopping and Dancing my way.Now I feel I am but a toyIn the hands of the one I love, to play. Once I was strongContinue reading “Rediscovering Me”
Terror Unleashed
T’was a beautiful winter evening, with a soft breeze blowing, The roads of Bombay, with it’s usual frenzy and spirit, glowing, A throng of tired minds going home and families on an outing, No hint in the air, as to what those devious minds were scheming, As the normalcy of the evening grew into theContinue reading “Terror Unleashed”
The dead man’s realm
In the heaven on earth, now ravaged by war In the snow kissed mountains, white eagles soar A cobbled path snakes up the pine woods Carrying the lost army of love who broods T’was a day like any other in the clouds Of cold and wind and terrors’ shrouds That hid all hope and laughterContinue reading “The dead man’s realm”
The Earthquake
On a January morning, cold and dark, As the drums of the national anthem play They hoisted the tricolor to mark This glorious nation’s Republic day Who knew in that moment, a tragedy so stark Was brewing just beneath their feet Who knew they were about to embark On a journey with no retreat ItContinue reading “The Earthquake”
The Indian Husband
At the tender age of twenty one They decided I had had enough fun And with a herculean effort they found me this speci-man With whom my life’s idiosyncratic farce began He first appeared like any normal guy Just the usual, short & pale & shy The regular engineer with an average salary To allContinue reading “The Indian Husband”
