Travelled the winding, tortuous roads, resentful of beaten paths  Forests of dreams gone past, the cities have broken carts  The meadows and fields are rife with promises stuck in their guts  The world of yonder darkens in the horizon of ifs and buts  Problems can be broken down, but solutions are hard to come by Continue reading “Toxins in the soil: A poem “

On the haloed cow-dunged floor, dear mother and father  To your sweet voices, from the frolic, siblings we gather  like coloured shells crowding serendipity’s beach  Melodies encapsulated in a warmth-blessed home to reach  And the trees pregnant with happiness and mangoes  The platefuls of home-cooked delectables, and rusty doors  failing to shut out the sands ofContinue reading “Memories of the sun: A poem “

The stars silently selflessly burn  for us, so does the nurturing sun  Who can say what is worthy when done?  The seeming loser may have eventually won  A proud albatross can soar and fly  in the sky ever so high  But in the humble, nondescript pen  the low-flying hen protects her chicken  A life isContinue reading “Your sacrifices, O mother: A poem “

You ask me: who do I love?  And spring blossoms in my bosom like a soaring dove  My flowers never go grey under any cloud  Even if they are unceremoniously plucked out  and left to die in vazes throughout   You ask me: what do I want?  And all my desires come crowding to haunt Continue reading “Who do l Iove?: A poem “

In the summer heat, when water turns to vapour  And the angels spring forth from the streets swirling dust  entwining my arms in camaraderie, shining my body’s rust  And their lyrics flood my mind’s imaginary fertile paper  I can talk to the stars in daylight, even night is bright  In the ravines of solitude, theContinue reading “Spiritual exchange; and there is no worry: A poem “

In the chapel’s gold, blue and white  where bells ring and angels alight  How fervent prayer does not bring  calm that is as expensive as bling  The yellow petals of illusions in the sun  Waking, baking like insolent dogs on the run  Hungering like a bunyan shouting through hanging roots  Its soul seeking out allContinue reading “Restlessly seeking out innocence: A poem “

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 “
