There is an unrest inside me. A deep need to scream out and lash out. But lash out at what? I have no idea. This unrest, this constant anxiety is unsettling. It’s as if I’m waiting for something to happen. What that might be ? I don’t really know. This unrest within, is like a…

“Till death do us part” – Part of the Christian vows of marriage. “With you for the next 7 lives”- The Hindu scriptures on marriage. When we look at most of the religious traditions, they talk about marriage as being a very sacred institution. And it is, at least it used to be in times…

There’s a Lily in my garden.She defies all jargon.The winters are here to stay,But her blooms are still at play. Lilies in winter are quite rare,And all I can do is just stare.She reminds me of me,She is me, and I am she. She doesn’t know that the tides have turned,She simply blooms, with the…

The blooms in my garden have wilted away. They’ve been waiting for the rains with not a single sway. The blooms in my garden have all turned to dust. Try as I do with all my care, I don’t gain their trust. I sing to them and I talk to them, but to no avail,…

The heavens did open up and drenched me alright. The dirt n grime washed away, and I do feel light. My soul sang a song and did a little dance, I straightened my shoulders and took a stance. As I looked at the clouds above, eye into eye, I think I heard the heavens whisper…

It’s a new day, a beginningI am alive and thriving. The world is right and life is goodThe clouds are dark, but I keep them away as I should.Nothing bothers me, nothing fazes meI was born like this and I shall remain, free .Serenity and calmness surround meA force of nature so strong, I am…

The silver in my hair, seems prominent today.Am I really getting old,And wise like they say ? What is the difference,I ask myself.I still feel young,Like I did yesterday. Age is just I numberI’ve heard this so often.But now, this moment,I do agree if I may! I’m over the hill,And past my prime.And the silver…

You complete me. My thoughts lie sheltered in your mind, My dreams are reflected in your eyes, My love also glows from your face And my heart beats next to yours. You complete me Your words always finish my sentences, Your actions predict my reactions, Your calmness overcomes my combustion, And your quiet overrules my…

The sky is still a grey blanket, and the moon is just about going home. The sun has yet to arrive. Through my open door, I still hear the crickets, and an occasional rooster or peacock, announcing to the world the approach of a new day. I sit outside in the fresh air, my companion,…

The wind whispering around the fallen leaves brought to mind your thought. Of fun filled days, and joyous laughter, and each other’s company that we sought. The breeze reminds me of your mesmerising eyes, the tinkle of your laughter and I was caught. In a spell so powerful, a web so sweet and a love…

As I sit down with my cup of teaEmpty paper in my handAnd as I look, and gaze and seeThe mist clears to barren land. Was it my fate or destinyOr the choices that I made,flared temper and rebellious mutinyThat had me waiting for life to fade. I had the world under my feet,Of love…

It’s yesterday once more.As I look into your eyesAnd I gaze upon your face .That twinkle I still see there,Although the years have had a score.All the same my loveIt’s yesterday once more. Your smile replaced your laughter,And there’s silver in your hair.You seem a little tired,And it’s the world upon your care.What I see…

I feel lost, in a daze, functioning on auto mode. Nothing seems to make sense. Its not that I am an 18year old smitten by love woman. I am over the threshold, have achieved quite a bit in life. Yet that feeling of emptiness envelops me from time to time. I don’t know what it…

As the day turns to dusk, and the stars come out, there is a strange unrest that I feel. All is well, all is good, I am okay and I am content. I have a roof over my head, food on the table, a loving family, and yet, I feel alone. There is something missing,…

Unable to sleep anymore, I step outside to seeThe stars still shine galore, as far as they can be. My sleep and my dreams, mean nothing to them.Uproot your worries they say,Right down from the stem. You are okay, they whisperNot lost at sea, are you?So bury, forget and forgiveThese are amends just a few.…

Let’s take a pause My Love, let’s take a short break. I’m sure you are as tired as I am, of the unrest between us. The unsaid words, the brushed off care, the anger simmering below and the hurt that doesn’t go away. Let’s take a pause My Love, let’s take a short break. The…

How would you define ‘Love’? Well for me, half my life is over, yet, I fail to actually define love. At one time, it was my family, that were my very being. But then I got married and priorities changed. Then came my spouse who I could not live without. Or so I thought. But…

This heart that I have within my chest, it’s not mine to nurture anymore. You laid claim to it, slowly and steadily as I came to know you. Relentlessly your thoughts pursued it, not giving me time to ask if this is what it really wanted. And this traitorous heart-the one that I kept hidden…

I’ve been broken and defeated I’ve been hurt and called insane. I’ve been left alone and have conceded Just to be questioned if I am sane. Each time I rose up yet again my heart in pieces to regain This time around though, I don’t think my heart will make it. You took away my…

You, the one with a thousand sweet nothings,That’s all you have in your hands, nothing.You, the one with a million flaws who judges me,That’s what you’ll always crave and never get, me.Your deceit and farce, I can finally see,You tried to break me, blame me, and then let me be.The mask has slipped, to leave…

That special someone to call my own.Someone that special someone,Who would be just mine, like I, his.Who would care for me, like I for him.The one that I could count on to hold me for forever.The one who is there when I break, to gather me up again.Who sees me for what I am. Who…
