The desolate love breathes awhile.
A mirthless smile blinks at the brim of the lips.
A smile of Sphinx,
From life it drinks
...

The earth bleeds,
The earth burns,
Unspelt needs,
The cloud returns
...

Words came halting from the midst of eternity.
Loved words,
Cared words,
Intense n stupefied.
...

Fragrant feeling reverberates along,
The rain-bathed road singing song.
Something glittered in the air unseen,
Let the unknown emotion sheen-
...

Today I saw the sky changing
I was on my way,
Trying to run away.
The sky was painted dark and deep
...

Fragments of fancy, crystal clarion among the crimson cloud.
Raindrops dipped in memories,
Aching echo in crowd.
Deep in the midst of melancholy
...

Did memory ever unleash in twilight hours?
Past oozing from wet wings sailing in blue.
Those days never passed,
Flickering moments reflected eternity;
...
