Sony Dalia

Days are warm like friend's wishes
Evenings darker than earlier
A nip in the nightly air enjoyable mostly…
If not in winter when will it be so?
...

As awards sailed my way thrilled I was
when my speeches garnered applause
An orator par excellence, they said.
Bouquets, beauties, bed of roses!
...

Who says epics are worn out tales?
In every generation
at the turn of each corner
don't you see action unfolding?
...

Life is a cosmos.
Many planets
spinning melody
satellites around
...

Riot of colours across the sky…
splashing water, skidding kids
watchful eyes excited with mirth,
speed boats zoom, parasailing, banana boats,
...

'Greetings from Xanadu'
caressing voice wakes up slumbering soul
heard, unheard tales on roll
naïve listener a rocking doll.
...

Flying birds know destination
Swimming fish know direction
Does man know what he does, dear?
Certainly not- -
...

...

Adhaato brahma jignaasaa…
Well said, well started.

Quest marks mind,
...

In the midst of clouds of mistrust,
corroded souls spitting venom
thickening, sickening chaos on campuses,
stars illuminate the tepid sky
...

All crows flock around
as a little one fails to fly,
dogs in the street run together
to drive away an intruder.
...

Speech splendid if conserved well
liberty no licence to thrash or trash,
bolts from blue silently smash
debates debilitate one and all.
...

Lonely, searching for food
wanders around each home in the street
most ignored but vigilant stray dog
guarding the street as its domain.
...

Sectret of Life


What is mine
...

First there was the word
AUM!
the universe reverberated
deluge destroyed all
...

As dusk draws
Taking a last look
At play field for the day
Solar flower bows head
...

Every one has a desire
Every event has a design
Every moment has a span.
...

As you descended
Hurtling down from the sky
Awestruck was every one
Wondering how and who could handle thee!
...

When youth meet
effervescence around always:
smiles stretch splendidly,
fluttering looks dart like butterflies,
...

For the devout Shivrathri a holyday
Charismatic camaraderie on display
Estranged mates met in the valley!
...
