Why do I feel?
I’m trying to catch,
But I’m left far-far behind?
It’s not a step but ,
a thousand miles
apart.
But some days I don’t
even try, I can’t make
up for the untrodden
paths or stride fast
to reach where I
shouldn’t.

Rainbow
So many words are not spoken,
some promises are not kept, but
sans complaints or regrets.
When all is done, we will
simply move on. You brought
a grim hue but it still formed
a rainbow in a clear sky.
Hope
Tiny quiverings, cold
hands a realization
I ‘m not my best.
May be we don’t belong
here but there remains
a thin strand of humanity,
a hope small but a hope.
Miracle
When you expect others
to be douchebags,
a sudden jolt of
kindness is indeed
a miracle.
FEAR
Pulsating beats,
again a trigger,
although smiling
Inside I know,
It is again out
to get me.
Mr. Fly
Mr. Fly I know you have a story too,
but forgive I’ve some things to pursue.
For once raven nights are no time my
friend to buzz and tell me why?
So Mr. Fly flutter , flap and fly away
go suck the nectar of a flower,
request you to never hover;
mistaking whiff of attar, for a floret.
I can’t tolerate and ignore it anymore.
Reminds of the Nash who spoke the
truth ,“ God in his wisdom made the
fly and then forgot to tell us why.”
Keeping Watch
In the morning
When I began to wake,
It happened again-
That feeling
That you, beloved,
Had stood over me all night
Keeping watch,
That as soon as I begin to stir,
You put lips on my forehead
and lit a holy lamp
inside a heart.
-Hafiz
Silence
Silence a shrine,
where unfolds
myriad tiny miracles;
obscure to that
naked eye.
Whispers of souls are
forever captured in the
turquoise mosaics
of stillness.
A sudden shrill,
the prayer and the
pilgrim dries up.
Intelligence
It is wise to be foolish
at times,
but so foolish to be intelligent
always.
Nature
In all things of nature,
there is something
of the marvelous.
-Aristotle
