All those beautiful eternal flowers  in those timeless treasure-filled hours  Dewdrops in laughter’s vacation  A seeming lifelong childhood’s infusion  All of it so delicately gift-wrapped  in fountains and springs of love tapped  There is an additional letter in the alphabet  that is the emblem of a warm nest’s set  Every day is Dad’s birthday  EveryContinue reading “Dad’s birthday, Mum’s Day: A poem “

I know too well bush from thicket  For the grandstand, I have my ticket  I can play too on a seeming sticky wicket  Yet, this be no time for playing cricket  I have seen my precious pieces fall  Yet my queen, she stands so tall  She lets out a loud rousing call  when we areContinue reading “Strength in few numbers: A poem “

I never questioned fate  with the lion at my gate  The unicorn’s feather weight  is my lifelong engine’s freight  I have saved each day’s patience  each year’s indiscriminate silence  Decades have given me the licence  to roll out the carpets for brilliance  I am the motto of spirits that weave  multitudes of fanfare like theContinue reading “Regaining love: A poem “

With the skeletal remains of today  I have residues that will lather tomorrow  I was born like that, holding out to the blues,  the reds, the greens and the yellows, and crimson as blood  I almost died in my mother’s womb  But a grace, a prayer, was a garden  of sustenance. All limbs intact, IContinue reading “I just couldn’t die: A poem “

At the tableland uphill where the gods sit  watching collaterally as the hands shift  The moments of dark gold in time’s sift  The theatre is a parade for fools, with no gifts  The insignia are in the pockets of those who know  Emblems are locked in chests that they never show  One can wish to leave,Continue reading “Jailhouse rock: A poem “

The copious music of the guitar you play  is not the harmony to which I wish to sway  A tongue thinks its glory is in the way it speaks  You depend on my consensus, but silence leaks  Conversation is like a city’s moving conurbation  It swallows regions of discourse with no limitation  But even aContinue reading “Agreeing with a friend: A poem “

If we could simply count all the stars in the sky  would that be an omen that we will never die?  Or will we wait impatiently for cures from AI  and smugly sit on our laptops and never ask why?  The carpetbaggers spit honey for our morning tea  But our cups are brimming with theContinue reading “AI: A poem “

The limestone owl in the garden  reminds me of you  I have no vowels harden  in a love that’s true  It was shaped by love  and didn’t need any glue  I know you are all above  It is my conviction and my clue  There were times so many  in pastures filled with dew  And youContinue reading “My darling baby boy: A poem “
