I hear the lyric of the oceans  Yet, it’s only the waves gushing in my ears  And we’ve had a shared history for hundreds of years  We’ve now become a busy metropolis  where we can get what we want  And the tourists keep coming  fascinated by our hybrid culture and the beaches  We live inContinue reading “Goa: A poem “

The earth’s fecund brown breast  knows best, that every little forest  with its multitude of tongues  is its effervescent lung  Mighty is a little trivial  when it stokes a revival  The gunshot of a flame  sets off a thrilling game  The bare miniscule of a moment  that bears an encouraging compliment  makes a jet rocket ofContinue reading “A smile a day: A poem “

We can tell  only too well  a bud from a bloom  later than soon  We know  that dawn’s glow  is the first strike  of cheering sunlight  We can understand  time’s ceaseless hand  that it brings age  like a poor man’s wage  But do we sigh  before we hear a lie  Do we know at theContinue reading “We can tell…And we can’t: A poem “

I see it on the floor, the walls, the ceiling  And in the skies and earth, this heart’s feeling  It comes to me like tribes from ancient lands  In amulets of thoughts, like the moon in silent words  My planet is ageless from time’s whispers whistling through  A melting moment of sunset, a heartbeat atContinue reading “In your valley: A poem “

I can remember your blue and white asters on the altar  And the plaster on the walls of the little home, falling apart  And being replastered again, like a reminder  of your perseverance in knitting together  a family. Solidarity and solidity are squares  of a fortress, strong and standing, despite the cracks  of children growingContinue reading “To a magnanimous Dad: A poem “

On the day the clock doesn’t tick  On the day when I am sick  When the breakfast plate does my belly rip  bringing nausea like a whip  When skin is itchy from the cold  When energy is rare like forbidden gold  I sit and unravel the threads  of the crossword of the life that IContinue reading “Smiling despite all: A poem “

Simply a day  without a way  A little poem  like an anthem  With the mirror  to talk without horror  The unbroken charm  of an unrushed arm  Day’s lazy droplets  without any frets  is as good as it gets  till the sun sets  And another day  just like this  tomorrow also stay  is my wish 

You went in the southern hemisphere’s April cool  A lotus floating on fan leaves, and in full bloom  Your mind so sharp and sound like a harp  playing in the indigo night, playing in time’s warp  We can talk of tireless energy, loyal love doesn’t whinge  A heart spins a snapshot on timelessness’ fringe  YourContinue reading “So long mother: A poem “

Hunger’s subjugation is a mighty blessing  The unsuspecting wild is rife with hunger’s stalking  Need and instinct are the bane of an Eden’s purity  But who can condemn a mere response to duty?  For, animals just follow an innocent dream  They are only humble to the season’s stream  When rivers dry, even crocodiles lie  WithContinue reading “Hunger in the wilderness: A poem “

If only the purpled clouds could tell  that the choked artichokes aren’t well  How we’d read the writing in the sky  that it may be nigh for good blood to die  The seas are mighty, but their tides  cannot wash off the grime in our insides  We think it’s silk, but our threads are aContinue reading “For posterity’s sake: A poem “
