Eternal you sleep
In slumber deep.

Calls ring aloud, wake o wake!
...

Light in brilliant bands of yellow and white
Illumined, Eyes blind,
In pain, I open eyes wide.
In robes with a halo behind.
...

Remember the day the knot was tied
The happiest day it was...
Love we shared,
Love, like flowers strewed all over.
...

The door ajar;
She tried to peek afar.

Up the stairs the groom ascends,
...

Living in an inferno I look hither and thither
An escape is all I need, but I'm tethered.
Words lashed, soul trenched,
Heart bleeds, tears roll.
...

Love entwined two souls years ago,
Little attitude, lots of ego.
Small quarrels, huge uproar.
...

Hang him, hang him!
Why do you hang me?
Coz I'm hungry?
Coz I ask for food?
...

Mother makes a plaintive call...
Mother India...What pain befall...

We soar at night,
...

Hang him, hang him!
Why do you hang me?
Coz I'm hungry?
Coz I ask for food?
...

Wending through the past
To days that will forever last.
Flipping pages year after year
Those quarrels are now so dear.
...

Why are you in such haste?
‌Stop! take a brake!
‌Why do you leap ahead?
‌And leave the past at stake.
...

LOST LOVE

How heartrending!
You in pain excruciating!
...

How many a time will you pierce?
How many more wounds will you bestow?
I bleed!
The wound is deep! !
...

The flood, the quaver, the sea
Oh! The Tsunami!
Floating cars, scattered houses
Ships topsy-turvy on roads
...

Hard work pays..
Isn't it true?
You want evidence..
I'll give you two.
...

Down the eyes tears roll’d..
Mama don’t leave my hold.
Legs are weighty,
The way ahead is creepy;
...
