My World

With a cup of tea beside me

And loosely strewn sheets on table

Loud obscure voices of the people

Screeching sound of elusive fans

Tip tap of eloquent keyboards

Intermittent ringtones of mobiles

Some random nebulous thoughts

Come knocking yet again

Like playful impish cohorts

And I descend into my ludicrous world….

Touch

Touch of velvet moony silk

Crimson satin sheer glow

Wind from warm virgin sea

Nimble, gentle, serene, coy

Hustling greens in the woods

Inching breath closer to life

Search

In search of food, hunger was lost

In search of goal, vision was annihilated

In search of passion, love was ruined

In search of belongings, feelings got lapsed

In search of a living, life got consumed

In search of God, humanity got squandered

Red Frock

Everytime I see you standing there

Peeking shyly from behind

The timeless hanger of life

Those dreamy eyes, serene smile

Red frock, wanting to talk to me

Meeting me when I am alone

Alone with my thoughts and breath

Reminding me of harmless pranks

Prodding me to stop crawling and fly

Fly because I have wings of desire

Because that’s what I always wanted,

But everytime I try to touch you

You melt into my childhood

And keep me waiting for another hour

When again,

I am alone with my thoughts and breath

Stones

Alone in deep dark forest single ray of morning sun

Catches glimpse of naked eye and dispels gloom

Compelling her to drop stones held in palm for long,

Night moon coaxing to pick them up gently once more

Hold in hands, closer to bosom caressingly

For morning sun shall knock tomorrow

And urge her to open her palm again….

Conversations-2

Like flash you cross the mind

Inadvertently, unwittingly

Cardinal as quintessential Soul

Reminisces of my being

Breathing you, guzzling you

Grain by grain, drop by drop

Intoxicates the body

Flusters the mind

And makes pain look

So delectable …

Snow Clad Hill

White snow clad hill insidiously

Pines to be lustrous diamond,

Oblivious that every dawn and dusk

When virgin rays of Red-yellow Sun

Smack its summit fondly

It shimmers in such radiance,

That even coveted Kohinoor

Wishes to be in its place…
