Of love, tenderness and little things

Of love, tenderness and little things

Read to me the fine poetry I like, Take a moment to stop between the words More than the punctuation, So that I can dwell on the metaphor; And you won’t need to worry How bad my day was, In the world that we create, Words do magic for us! Make me that fine cup of tea Where you pour all the tastes in the world, Sit next to my armchair in the balcony Hum that note you used to while cooking, I’d find it as serene … Read entire article »

Mundane

Mundane

Forget the mundane Thoughts that flow, Old as the balcony And afternoon crow. Don’t lock yourself In a sombre sun, Let go your despair It’s not that fun. Leave your cup of Evening tea, Forget you’re one Household bee. Be one in the crowd Sweat and shout, Feel you’re the spring Of eternal spout. Foods, sweets, munchies All that you want, Savour the taste and Flare up your lust. I am the beautiful Colours you miss, It is the cacophony Of freedom & bliss. I am the never fading Hope for sure, I outshine the gloom My heart is so pure. I am … Read entire article »

Quest

Quest

When I get to my feet and face you, It is no more a question of Meagre existence to me; I do not remember Who am I or Where I was born, Anymore; Vastness overwhelm me, and Silence engulf me, My desires defy senses, I feel I have wings, and I can set off in quest of the forbidden world. You helped me to look beyond The three shades of time, And interpret The untold stories of this habitat - Of men and their hardship, Of women and their despair, Of kids and their … Read entire article »

Tell a tale

Tell a tale

It is now lost somewhere, and I know, it’s not obscure, Somewhere it can be easily found, Perhaps in the same neighborhood, Now grown so indifferent; Or in a matted dream From not so distant past As oblivion; and I am hopeful, What was once ours Can surely be found. Adolescence was in fact queer, To me, And the rest of us, Facing the unknown, What we were told, Were risks; Stopped to be questioned By the elders all along; Yet every moment, However small Or insignificant, Made us feel so special, Adorned with happiness- I have never been … Read entire article »

Sojourn

Sojourn

I am not going to come down Get into your lap, Smile or play, I won’t be a good cat today. No, I don’t want to eat From the bowl, Or sip the milk You’ve kept ready for me, ‘Silk’. You thought I always loved you When I purred, Or licked your feet- Oh! no, that’d be mere weak. I so wanted to break free From the leash, Yes, always And deceived you with pleas. Today, I will hunt my own food With paws, And wait, till I find a partner to mate. I have … Read entire article »
