Isn’t it love above all that we cherish?  The gift for which we earnestly wish?  It is the what, where, why and which  Of both the poor and the rich  Love’s lighthouse time’s distance bravely outwits  It is not infatuation’s crevice nor obsession’s pits  The selfless, unconditional throb of a mother’s heart  A lover’s pushingContinue reading “Love: A poem “

The cloud that bears rain  is wanted time and again  Promises made for their keeping  prevents the earth from weeping  Leaders who make a charter  not their virtues to barter  reap harvests with no shame  and seldom get the blame  The magic of deeds  that prioritise not wants but needs  and make equal all souls  sumsContinue reading “A leader in deed, indeed: A poem “

We are made of dust, to dust we go  Death is a motion as much as life a flow  A dispassionate mind knows mortality is the door  That the horizon is the sky that meets the floor  We are but a grain of sand on the shore  Our beauty in flesh is not the dress weContinue reading “Ashes: A poem “

The pride and ego of being judgmental  is in one own eyes to stand tall  Prudence sacrificed at prejudice’s altar  Proclaimed self-virtue is on humility a war  The castle of the righteous is in silence  Opinions like scales must be devoid of bias  Conscience is in chaos when morals tumble  Priggishness is a high groundContinue reading “Judging others: A poem “

If of our temples we are the lord  The voice from within is the beseeching of God  For, the joy of the fruits of the haloed womb  is the right of procreation not of a tomb  Plucking out a bud in its bare infancy  A cradle thus undone deserves no clemency  For mother nature solelyContinue reading “Abortion and suicide: A poem “

The time-worn walls of the crumbling edifice  like the phoenix lived for sacrifice  Suffering, for some, is omnipresent like the skies  In its throes, the vigour of individuals and nations dies  How inclement is stormy weather  Causes a docked boat to lose its tether  When harvests are dry, the arid earth  looks in vain forContinue reading “Suffering: A poem “

In the tourist hubs of plenty we prefer to be in action  Disparity’s landfill grows larger when generosity takes a vacation  To own our precious idols our temples must not be soiled  The lamps of our privileges must burn with honour’s oil  Undeserved are the harvests of choice if we fail to see  what ourContinue reading “Of rights and duties: A poem”

When loneliness at doors does sadly knock  When rejection and denial the driveway block  When answers and prayers are only tepid words  When clocks age and break and go unheard  When virtues go unnoticed and bend like burdens  When hard work in unrequited corners lies huddled  When dishonest hearts clutch at the rewards  And corruptContinue reading “Patience: A poem “

Orphans who beg for dimes  become hated criminals in time  Innocents can make a noisome brew  Rats are just the lion’s crew  For, gullible are they scouted for crime  Leaves in the poison ivy’s vine  Who subverts the law and who faces it  is how justice’s dark side is dimly lit  Deeds live in homesContinue reading “Orphans in crime: A poem “

From the fortress of desires  the horses speed like fires  into the penumbra of discovery  And earth like a virgin unclothes  her spirited arms to taste  each falling drop of rain  The sky’s grey body exhales  the stormy moistened gales  And the earth is traumatised  by, both, pleasure and pain.  Like comets bursting together  inContinue reading “Reckoning: A poem “
