I call myself a poet. But I disown the title today, For what have I been writing since these many years, If I still haven’t dedicated one for you? If I still haven’t written about the ways in which you touched my heart and laughed easily as if it was nothing? If I still haven’t written…
You’ve got you.
There are going to be wounds that will forever stay fresh, wet with seeping blood. There are going to be stories of pain which can never be shared with anyone. There are going to be bruises that will accompany always. There are going to be moments which you never want to replay in your head….
How to better describe you?
(I was asked to describe Snow without using the word SNOW and here it is. A different approach! Hope it’s loved!😀) ​You wrap the city With chill, wooly globs! How to better describe you? No. Wait! You turn the ground into Magical milky wafers of ice! How to better describe you? No..There’s more.. You freeze…
What weren’t Ye?
(Mom, this is for you alone..😙) You were a beam of sunlight,during days,gloomy blue.. Ye were the rainbow after incessant rains ennui! You envisaged a million dreams for me, My petty wins,put on thy face alone,so much glee.. When everyone cheated, a thornless rose were you! When in doubt,ye did serve as the omniscient moon,didn’t…
Inked souls!
O Omniscient! How did you craft these poets? Did you unlade ink bottles into their veins, in lieu of blood? Are their hearts ,pile of sheets bled through with ink? Is it You who turned their grey matter inky? And their fingers into magical quills? When their ink drops play with paper, T’s like the…
Bittersweet memories…
You were lilac! I was Dahlia! You spurted And expanded your bloomage, So that it may echo mine.. I shrivelled and lost my million petals To sync my figure with yours! We both became TWIN ROSES, Colored with shades of love and affection! We both were twin flowers That bloomed together Only inhaling each other’s…
Celluloid glued memories!
​ Sweetest of sweet mem’ries Embedd’d in glossy sheets.. Possesseth the uncanny ability To escalate our heart beats! The spontaneously incendiary celluloid Blazeth mine heart too, Making the p’ricardium melt, And pour with a longing to wend back! ‘T,the photo album, imbibeth a plethora of memories ‘Twixt quartet inch sheets… Some smiles that the teeth…
Isn’t SHE a wonder?
​Dedicated to acid attack victims! The Sun was stolen To craft her puissant eyeball! She carried the constellation In her cerulean , azure eyes, From which,shooting stars flew And suddenly stood still out of stupor, Being fallen for her charm, And became her eyelashes, Fulfilling this time,their own wish Of admiring her allure,perpetually! The moon…
Rainy Day Poetry
​As I woke up,dribbling raindrops clapped hands, And Thunder served the cheer leader, And I was spotlighted by Lightning And was vouchsafed with the most resplendent garment, Knit with petrichor! Mr.Sun took a sick- leave today, And to compensate,Miss.Moon over – worked in lieu of Him! Anyone can besmirch the beauty, Of this beautiful day,…
Tears…
​Orbs of tears queue behind the closed eyelids, And slide down gently from the eyelash.. Like raindrops,that cascade and fall, From the greenish needles of fine fescues… It isn’t just a drop! It’s an ocean of incessant disappointments and despondence… That storms violently,when the heart bleeds! It’s a salty sea of pain,shrunken to a drop,…
Terribly Homesick!
​Rolling down her cheeks Were the memories of her home sweet home, Leaving nostalgic stains of black and white and sepia, Reminiscing the ‘affection’ portrayed by her parents, Which she bequeathed in her heart, Though the love stained memories, Squeezed her eyes and left them dessicated, And gave her, heart crushing pains, As she turned…
The Blue Fabric!
(A poem on water without using the word WATER) The blue fabric draping the globe, With green patches hither and thither! Is the most resplendent robe, A planet can ever wear… This blue fabric is knit, Joining skerrick,noble orbs of blue, That dribble from Paradise,sheeny and nitid, Enveloping the planet with their glassy dew!
