The Ceiling And The Sky
In my innocence I was brave...
And knew no fear,
No boundaries, no limits, no doubts,
Unable to imagine my spirit contained.
The sky was open...
Then came that ceiling,
That flattened the top of my head,
And crowded my dreams with fear.
The ceiling was clear...
You could see right through,
Unwaivering and unmovable it sat,
Intending to crush my dreams, so...

Alone In A Crowded Stream
The driftwood floats,
Down toward the rocky slopes,
Without a care in the world.
"I can't be bothered by those jagged rocks now,
In this cool water where I enjoy my ride,"
"Besides, there's still time to turn this around,
If I could just go against the tide."
"What a life this is being driftwood,
Where I go next is anybody's guess."
So I smile like nothing's the matter,

Why Do Poets Ponder?
Why do poets ponder
The birds of the air...
For their beauty, their freedom, their song?
Why do they find peace in asking
Questions that begin with why?
Why are they so willing to share
The inner most part of their soul,
Hidden in symbolic mazes
With hedges high?
I guess what I'm really asking
Is why do I?

On My Wall
Ladybug, ladybug on my wall
It was there all summer, but now it's fall.
It was there all season, but never found reason
To stand and fight, or take off in flight.
It just clung there helpless.... on my wall.
Afraid to stand, afraid to fall.
Not really sure about its gender,
Just watched it miss out on life's spendor.
Was it waiting there for a man?
Or for someone el...

Song of the Earth
My spirit’s faint, of joy and beauty starved,
Of late, this grieving heart has known but gloom,
So, prayers I’ll say on ancient Anglezarke,
And dance with Gaia, to a brighter tune,
Where soars my soul, between earth sea and sky:
Fear’s put to flight, in nature is true strength.
A lark’s song celebrates up there on high
The beauty of our vast horizon’s length,
The grandeur o...

2020 the trailer of 2021
For the people, they both were so troublesome
Had so many deaths and made the people stressed
Hospitals had the shortage of beds,
Thus made the people realise the value of nature's shed
All were so scared,
but some irresponsible and negligence, making others tensed
by roaming here and there
When the oxygen is so rare,
All other countries tak...

Just blame it on the weather
Even though the rain is pretty
Blame it on the weather
I have no better reason
So I'll blame it on the clouds
I wanna cry
Cause it’s dark in the sky
Thats why I'm tired
That's why I'm lost
It's because of the rain clouds

Seasonal Hate
You endure a tremendous amount of hate,
Berating your presence as soon as you wake.
Their words echo off buildings,
As the tempo of people gather in agreement.
White smoke cloaks their bodies,
Fuming like chain smokers in harmony.
The crunching of their feet fleeting,
Scurrying away to catch the heat of the bus,
Dirtying up the soft blanket you’ve given ...

Hot Spring
the plumes of a caldera,

Table Manners
he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal
had to-go
then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back
the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress
I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic
Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

Melancholics of the monsoon
Melancholic of the monsoon
Sluggish mornings,
Smell of fungus
in my slippery doorsteps,
Elongated bedtimes,
Slacking routines,
Hearing nothing ;but symphonies,
4 walls, headphones as my roomies,
Safeguarding books
And Reading them to cats
To which they nods,
But silence alone growls.
Instant noodles,
And concurrent doodles;
Fills stomach and minds.

nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house

The first steps

Renew
The trees begin to wilt and fade;
Another year is on the fall.
Though autumn can defy the odds,
The winter’s cold is bound to call.
The daytime’s relegated role
Is limited to minor parts;
Discarded leaves drift down to earth
In patterns of the purest arts.
In nights replete with cloudless chill,
We shiver at the crisp-cut moon;
The powdered snow beneath our ...

Mother Nature Appears To Be A Saint.
Autumn turned into the red October.
It made a fire out of colorful leaves.
It wasn't cold but turned into amber.
In rains and winds, it only believes.
In October Autumn has become just crazy.
In October Autumn has become a bit lazy.
Walking sadly, weeping with a lot of tears,
Hiding carefully its reddish face and fears.
The thoughts of crazy October torm...

willing to take a bullet for them?

My Way
A yellow leaf broke away from the tree.
He thought he could live now free.
But it happened a quite different way,
Without a trunk, he could helplessly lay.
Laying lonely far from the trunk
He was feeling a little bit drunk.
Even though the others were around,
His happiness was not found.
I wandered on the fallen leaves in the forest,
And the weather looked ...

The Autumn And The Rain
Wearing a gray raincoat, with an unsteady walk,
The rain was so sad and didn't want to talk.
He remembered those sweet and beautiful days
When the butterflies flew among the warm bays.
He remembered a nightingale singing a song
And it looked as if nothing was wrong.
Now autumn melancholy and sadness
Replaced the joy of summer happiness.

: The Barren Tree :
It grew in the wilds, a sentinel growing tall,
A mighty yogi in presence, embracing it all!
Branches reaching out, to the skies in a plea,
Seeking for the strength - to live it's destiny!
Its ancient bark, a wrinkled, weathered hide,
Tells a tale of the time's, swiftly flowing tide.
Inexorably which has grabbed, life in a churn,
On and onwards to - the lands of no return!

Previous skins
Five years ago flew by
Now, already remote
The rolling of the years
They’re already afloat
Your past self
Already a ghost
When you stand still
You begin to grieve your previous skins
Wonder why you had to forget and kill
Old personalities just to multiply new
So, you cling on to specific moments
Promise not to forget, you never will
But it is not uniqu...

my love letter
stamped with a pair of pressed lips

then sealed with a kiss

trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud

while fire from the two flames

on a magic candle
over and over
like a brazier come undone

stigma of a damselfly
the woodland hoarfrost dressing tendrils
could no less love the light;
it is in this very conflict I find myself
in cavernous worship to both sides,
this delicate balance of paradox,
pirouetting on a sheet of glass,
untinged
by the busy of the world,
alive in its own concention.
