Ocean I do not want
to fight a battle on
your mighty realm,
no swords in my hands
...
I have placed earthen
lamps in thousands
near the eastern horizon
on a deepavali day
...
Like one moody disturbed Sea
strange is day with its sudden
moodswings, steals the lights
like one empty lamp without any
...
Mountains call me from mystic terrains
a prayer comes from divine heart
wild flowers fall on discreet dreams
dews on garden flowers
...
Financial analyst penned a life plan for me
where 20% must go to stocks and shares
I did it for good but lost when stock markets collapsed
...
Is it that incomplete song
you sing for me April
or the soulful song of
a nightingale or a song
...
What was the wind's answer
to the waves God! you know well
on the ashes a cloud rains and a new
sapling sprouts from Earth,
...
A tear dropp fell from April
on the dried up red flowers
of a gulmohur and I realised
a song is left unsung
...
From Carmel Convent to university
Ann, we shared a special bond of friendship,
I remember the day you left university
to join Defence and your heartfelt
...
In new world’s oldest corridors
faded yesterdays blackened blockages
Illness and oldage taught virtue or not
wisdom lies on golden shores
