On Mother's Day
Peace and serenity surround me
As I feel her arms around me
Amid mist, her countenance is light
My eyes well up with delight
"You didn't betray me! I knew you'd never ..."
"I live in you; I am with yours forever."
"I want to smell you in real too.
O' Mom, but this vision will end soon.
Hold my hand tight, stay with me.
I seek refuge in your sheltering tree."
The light fades and air gets...

2022 or twenty twenty too?!
So the sun ducks down
Shattered clouds frown
Crimson rays mix with gray
The sky starts the count down
All feather balls are back in nests
Bellies full, they're ready to rest
The restless Venus sparkles again
The Golden Ball is deep in the west
Another year has come to an end
Wrapping wounds and grieves to mend
Our happy memories brighten the eve
As from the cradle of the Earth Moon...

Solace in the storm
The grey canopy threatens and thunders.
As rain patters, the earth starts moaning.
The angry storm unleashes its fury.
The trees are drenched in rain water
The flowers are swept away
The beauteous verdure is muddied with flood water.
Revengeful winds slap everybody.
Relentless rain water rushes into houses.
Tropical cyclone has mercy for no one
Save for the man who walks through the ragin...

Corona-Regime
A World War is declared
by the smallest living beings
against the smartest of the creation
while all others wars have stopped.
At least for the time being...
The weapon race is ceased
No missiles are fired
No suicide bombers in action these days
No mosques or churches demolished any more
All warriors have reverted back to their shells
(how brave)
The sceptre of the mighty creature has t...

Mountains
To each of us, our own mountains
Of ego, anger, and countless wishes
Heaps of deadly snakes of jealousy
Eerie glaciers of cold relationship
Volcanos of wrath and revenge
To each of us, our own mountains
which mark our destiny.
Standing tall between us
and our loved ones,
insurmountable they seem.
To each of us, our own mountains
which can be paved only by love.

A-mazed?!
We all maze runners
keep following
the unchosen paths,
chasing the unrealistic desires
We keep on sprinting
fate follows us closely,
No time to look behind
No chance to stop and wonder
No sign to follow our destination.
Turning into an alley each time
we are caught by the unawares
"Is that my Cheese?": Fascination
"Ah! these thorns in my feet!": Gehenna
"Those never-ending alleys!"...

An Unsung Tale
How my heart ached
as it dawned on me:
"I'm the part removed
to save the whole
and then left to rot
buried in a hole."
How empty the look
she last gave me!
"I am alive, not dead"
my heart screamed
forlorn and forsaken.
"But for us!" she deemed.
How arduous the toil
since the path is steep!
On the sunless days
stumbling over memories
I yearn...

Humanity Washed Ashore
Refuges looking everywhere
for shelter, peace
and a morsel to eat
are driven away from all shores.
The sea-water has swept away
many hopes for life.
As ruthless currents overturn their boat
their bodies swarm the seashore
where vultures and death-eaters sit expectant.
They are thankful
to the inventors of war.
Today humanity has been crowned
while many dreams h...

Talking To The Dead
"I talked to her
and she kissed me too."
"Are you insane?
It can't be true.
You are a simple soul
undone by grief.
Or was it a dream?"
"Nay, Nay, she came.
She looked at me and smiled.
Her contenance was light
and I stood bewildered
until she called my name.
I wept and shrieked,
'After all these days
You finally speak!
Tell me the reason
why you le...

A Prayer
Six fathoms deep my mother lies
Yet I walk above, how my hearts cries!
O' Lord of the world, O' Master of the skies,
Thou hast all powers on who lives or dies.
Grant her paradise, grant her peace, O' Wise!
Grant her all love; Thy greatness who denies?
Six fathoms deep my mother lies
It's been one year - how my heart cries...

Cry of a feminist
Is it fit
to get hit?
For tiny bits
he beats or smits.
When he vomits
all the shit,
she's scared
out of wits.
How oblong,
how unfit
for any woman
to get hit!

Desolation
They are not away;
they stay close to me.
They are not lost;
they live in me.
They have not forgot,
nor forsaken me.
Just a branch is cut
to save the tree.
To live happily
they've set me free.
I am ready to accept
the fate's decree.
Just a tiny wish
that in happy times,
may they look back in life
and think of me.

Requital
A Bark Scorpion is caught in a trap.
I look at it
and behold the pain in
the lateral eyes of the yellow arachnid.
Its convulsive movements
freeze my steps.
I release the trap and step back.
It approaches me
and stings on my foot
Yes scorpions sting.
That's their way
of demonstrating gratitude.

Silhouettes
Shadows lurkin' in the dark
Mingling, dwindling, taking new forms
As if like mist they've risen suddenly
Clear, murky or grotesque figures
Each shadow has its own story
First there's a tall girl caressing her child
Though it's shadow I can feel her smile
It evanesces gradually to take a new form
A toddler chuckling, chased by its mom
Next I see the child grow tall
And a labouring mothe...

Rumination
My end is near
So near that I can smell
my rotting flesh.
The air is still
and full of dread.
No cries of pain escape my lips,
just silence rules
proclaiming the coming disaster
and all that I want
is a peaceful end.
