Fevered mind wanders wide

My body is fevered; eyes are closed

From the darkness around me

Emerges she; like a beam of light

Like an angel she sits beside

My bed, but I can't see her still

My eyes are closed, yet

Her smile brings respite to soul

Her fingertips with abundance of warmth

Innocence exuberates from those lovely eyes

My body starts to feel so wispy

I open my eyes into veracity

No one there, besides my bed

But still those eyes linger in my mind

The pain of the soul

Feel the pain of the soul
When you have to smile to the world
But there is a tear inside
A deep burning hole
What always seemed as yours
For days and nights at end
Crashing like an illusion
A mirage in the horizon
The shreads of glass pierce my heart
When will the pain die down??

The forgotten treasure...



I was then a child

When I sensed it first

I knew I had something

But no idea what it was

I kept it with me. For then,

I knew not what to do

Later in life, when I looked back

It was there lying in the dust

I picked it up

Rubbed it on my clothes

Expecting the genie of Aladdin

But I got a different kind of treasure

An abundance of joy and ecstasy

A feeling like never before

A feeling that I could enjoy

A restless night

Ths silver moon shines so bright
On this hot summer night
When I spend a restless time
Waiting for sleep to carry me away
Dreams of tommorrow
Nightmares of the past
Are waiting for me to close my eyes
The silence is shattered by a cry
Some nightbird calling its mate, perhaps
Animals and birds have no worries
A days food and a place to rest
Man prides himself to be a cut above
I have had my fill of food
Still why cant I sleep in peace?

13!!

The morning paper fallen in a puddle of water

The milkman been chased by a dog

A dead frog on my doorstep

What’s wrong??

Oh ya..It is 13th the Friday

What else can go wrong today?

Thinks me and steps out

A black cat scowls alarmingly

I run; lest it cross my path!!

Smack!..I crash into someone

The hot glares, the mutual apologies

Oh ya..It is 13th the Friday

I walk rubbing my head

What else can happen today?

The bus leaves the stop

Just as I reach there

Some snob in the bus

Gives me a sneering smile

Bang! Goes the bus tire

Well…It aint his day too

Oh ya..It is 13th the Friday

The Golden Hour















Light shines through the morning grey
The warmth of love fills the earth
O new cloud from the east
Bring me some relief
Like the dew in the morning
Kisses a red rose bud
In this golden hour, Will music arise
From the chambers of the heart
Or will you be the nymph
Who came into my dearest dreams
Who left your footmark in my soul
And vanished from my sight

Broken Dreams










I waited all day

Just for the return
Of those who left the tribe

My parents in the lead
We live by gathering firewood
Honey and wax from trees
In a jungle far away
Where tigers reign fearlessly

Waiting all day

A piece of bread for my stomach
A hug of relief for my mind
Darkness set in
All returned back from the jungle
I searched for my parents
All in despair

The look of pity from others..

I am still waiting for them.
