I walk in a garden full of flowers And at once I feel exposed to the powers I touch each one and they seem to bloom Is this magic, or is it my doom? I wish so deep to feel your presence Else this is paradise without its essence And I ask the watchers forContinue reading “Paradise: To the one I love the most, a poem”

At times I think of love’s poignant embrace Lasting memories of your quick-witted grace Endearing are the whispers of your priceless homespun wisdom That revisit me in times of utter humdrum You taught us about love’s selfless expanse About morals, integrity, dignity, faith and substance The rill of your exemplariness stretched every distance into theContinue reading “Mother: An Ode”

If you think the English language is funny, you better mind your laughs and your gaffes. People are always cribbing that there’s more puzzlement in the written word than one can imagine.

The Kings are playing the game of rule It’s time for them to check and check-mate The pawns are rolling, and it’s cruel to see how this goes to placate great nations who don’t want to, yet, battle but to cold war, as they build an arsenal A world is in throes, but they haveContinue reading “Where is Christ?: A poem”
