Their eyes don't meet with mine,

There's a full stop to the routine 

Chatter at quarter past nine,

An elderly heart whines

For the savings lost 

On fruitless mines,

I get to hear furious yells 

More than the temple bells,

It's a heartbreak weather altogether;

One by one, we lose all our feathers.

The food is served unequally

And there's more on my plate;

A heated argument

Takes a drastic turn 

As things fade into black,

And as the white comes back,

One regretfully stands out 

The barricaded door,

And with utmost concern

Knocks and knocks and knocks

Expecting some response;

On the other side of the door, 

Water splashes and rinses

Blood, a lot of blood,

And the dreadful flood

Seaps through the door gap.

As the morning goes into 

The arms of the evening,

And the sky turns pink,

Not all bonds stay linked;

One's wing kisses another's,

And the clock fails to cling,

And the time drops, a little too fast,

As two residents of air 

Fall from grace 

To forever rest 

On the earth's surface.

After spending the evening with you.

I watch the city lights' contrast,

I'd limitlessly spend every 

Pound and dollar and ruppee 

To witness this luminous feeling. 

I reckon there's no bet...

Harsh spotlight penetrates 

Through the high tides

To track the underwater stars

And to store them in the jars. 

Gadgets drown and scatter

To gauge the deep underwater;

Keen cam-eyes spot some light

And share the resplendent sight. 

In the unravelling of fate, a pearl

That denies to reciprocate with 

The light is left alone in the water,

Only for it to li...

I walk out into the lush green

To a tranquilizing Kargeen,

When a far gunshot shakes my soul

And the delicate trees lose their moles. 

In the presence of whose reign 

Is the humanity drowning in vain?

Some depend on War and Peace 

To realise the pragmatic fact that 

Conflicts can be dealt with ease,

While some still continued to tease,

Others relentlessly aimed t...
