Nursing my secret longings
I lie awake in the wee hours of the night
Mind restless, like a caged bird craving redemption
My thoughts journeying through time and space
...
Trotting over dried up dreams
Familiar terrains swim past view
Again, no looking back!
The unknown stretches far ahead
...
A cool November morning!
Today I rose much earlier than usual
I watch the night stealing away
Like an accused convict under cover
...
Do not simply diddle
For life may pass in a twinkle
Hardly any time to dawdle
In life, joy and sorrow mingle
...
Oh, little chirpy squeaking squirrel
I see you always dressed in grey apparel
Swift as an arrow you can run
Watching you scamper the tree is fun
...
Hey, smiling beauty
My ravishing companion
Come into my life, to give it a lift
I shall sing for you our love's tuneful lore
...
When starlings were swimming in the azure lake
When bats and owls began their nocturnal ride
When all the Earth under a dark blanket lay
And man and beast into sweet repose retired
...
It was an awfully sultry night
All was unusually quiet
Lying on the floor
Saw his ex wife at the door
...
"Days back my son swallowed my car's key"
Said the father to duty doctor, Abbey
"Why didn't you bring him before? "
Asked doctor a little sore
