Oh, a vision to behold!The charms of a lady in bold disguiseBeyond the display window,Under the golden chandelier,She shimmered in silken lightSparkling glitters cloud my thoughtsThe curves and edgesAwake an uneasy yearning in my heartFor the Goddess wrapped on a sculptureIn glorious crimson and black. How do I describe Her in a word?Ravishing?Breathtaking?Or perhaps,Vindictive?Lovely, as …
A Blissful Reverie
Dancing to the rhythmic tunes of your loveI sway around, the conqueror of my dreamsI am fine-tuned, like a puppet on your stringsMusings of you in midnight and daylightMy Achilles heel twirling on a potter's wheel. Perpetually wrapped in the crevices of my mindAre the thoughts of your gaze grazing mineEyes, as serene as the …
Citylights
Palm on the chin, eyes on the sky The golden hue evanesces From the empty black canvas And light engulfs darkness in the guise of Tiny, deformed, fast-moving square boxes Glowing in a gloomy night sky. A random insight popped up while I was travelling on a train, watching the evening sky slowly change its …
Fleeting Lives in Motion
Hasty windows,Slow intersection. A supper of love and laughter through one,Kids raising a ruckus through another.Marital squabbles and disappointment through one,Friendly chit-chat and poker games through another. One slept peacefully,In the comfort of a loving shoulder.Another peeped lazily,Through half-closed eyes.One sipped coffee,With a newspaper in the other hand.Another nudged the illuminating screen,Listening to an unknown …
Freedom?
Behind the bars,Laments a miscreantA well-fed creature with a sickly heart,Trapped in a Kafkaesquean trial. Miles away, staggers a rose-tinted dream,Wrapped delicately in a shroud,Seeping into the far-flung achromicity,Yearning for freedom from the sins unsinned. When the hushed sobs prickedThe remorse of another fragile heart,Mama unlocks the cage,The prisoner is set free. The merry bird …

Prisoner
Hands are untied Imprisoned by your sugar-coated lies My innards, swarmed with grey-hued butterflies Cautiously preys on my undiagnosed inside Your honey from my full-bloomed flower Is now bleeding redโpangs of anxiety Shoots the "lub-dub" down A heavy, melancholic melody A contagious malady Lie to me more, my silent heart still believes Inscrutable it remains, …
Rain, rain, come again!
Country towns submerged in white noiseRain fell "pitter-patter" against the roof,Carrying away debris from the gutters Slow precipitation hit the barren earth,Begot the sweet aroma of petrichor,Captivated us with sheer excitementLeaving our dolls haphazardly,We rushed out of the house. Drizzle transmuted into heavy downpourWe held each other's handsFeeling the droplets coursing through our skin,We gazed at …

Anchored in my position, I lay here Looking at mighty PoseidonBreaking down overtly in my armsAcknowledging the universality of pain, Makes me wonder …
Solitary Companion
I lay here on the seashore Under the solicitous shelter of eroded sand, Blanketing my legs From the chilly midnight air My eyes meet the gaze of the ethereal moon, While my mind was preoccupied With random musings My heart, brimming with agony Beats frantically Tantamount to the oscillating waves Roaring breathlessly in pain. โ …
