News!

3/19/2015

News leaking through the crevices of sanity
Broadening trust gaps
Questions that seduce and entice
Curiosity? It was killed by the cat.


Cacophony,rancour,tragedy
Reaking of another conspiracy
Yet inhaled over and over giving a high,
A high on vices that malign

With tenacity the mind searches
For the absolute truth
Peeping into another’s life
And the self sits waiting

To be rescued of all that is vice
The hands that turn the page from 1to 2
Searching for the next news
Could go out and save a neighbour too

The Work Table

3/19/2015

Machines that refuse to speak
And a book that won't shut up.
The table cloth white but stained
With tea marks and sme thoughts
Strewn all Over
Wild yet beautiful
And a pen
Red in disguise
In the soul blue
And a paper
Brown that beckons
A verse that whispers
And demands to be written.

Shall we talk of pain
That devours the weak
And strong
Shall we speak of the
World
And everything that’s wrong?


Or shall we talk of wonder
Fragrance of fresh oranges
The racing of the heart
When something demands to be written
The curiosity
When we notice
A singing soul
In the corner of a room
buzzing with harmonies.

Shall we talk of the sea,
That you and I fathom with the same eyes
The gold on the sand
That poets see
Or the sun and the moon
That Greet us at different times

Shall we talk of love
That pained us when it made us
Or shall we talk of the songs
That sung us to sleep
When nights drove us insane

Shall we talk of home?
The one that has stairs
That go up and down
That let go
And invite
If you were in the middle
Which way would you choose?
Shall we ask this?

Where were we
When the sun whispered
Fresh rays into our windows
Were we drowsy?
In the dreams of a better future
When the present was
tickling us with moments
that wasted themselves
On our numbed worries of the past


Where were we
when the sea
Washed our feet with waters
warm and cool
Were we looking at the horizon
we could not touch
And turned deaf to the crescendo
of the waves

Where were we

When the orchards beckoned
Smell of fresh apples
Did we take to the path
Walking, absorbing
Or did we hit the road
for speed?


Where were we?
When love came
And filled the space between us
And our hearts
And our soul

Saying ‘not now’
Did we let the watch
outbeat the heart?

Or did we sing?
Yes we did.

We said Yes.

Happy Birthday Shuchi!

Hey symphony of mine
A note high or a note low
Or was it the same song
All over again
It couldn’t have been
Every song is different they tell me

It must be

But are souls different too,

Separated like bodies?
Or are they connected
Through the continuum of emotions
Sublimating across age
Effervescing through time

I do not know

I know that there is
comfort
Because these words
Are understood
As if they were the missing piece
or all of it to come together
Shall this last forever?

I do not know

But I thankyou,

For the music
And wish you
Hey sweet symphony
All the melodies
Of love
And everything deep

Happy Birthday!

The woman in white and blue!

Did you see the woman?
The woman,
in white and blue
She stopped in the street
to find a hue
the genuine one
and the one unscathed
Little did she know
She carried it ,
Right there -
In the folds of her heart


Every room
She went
Became full of light
With the fragrance 
Of her smiles
And her admonition slight

She wonders
Why?
She does it wrong
When she has been 
Just Perfect
All along


And there is this man
I see on her side
Who knew the perfection
Right at first sight
And I see them
Together in love and in fight
And they look, 
Like they are dancing
In divine delight

And here is a day
When they make us a part
Of their wonderful time
With the love in their hearts
And it makes me wonder!

Would it be such a chore?
If God made 
People like them
Many many more :)

The Wait

I wait for you here.
Where many journeys end.
And a new one begins.

I wait for you here

Beyond this point.
There is nothing but the unknown
I seek not the security of relationship but the passion of a companion

I seek not the mundane but a life of adventure
I seek not a home but to taste the sky and earth
I seek not promises but a desire for togetherness.
I seek not a husband but your complete ‘being’

Because I wait for you here

With all my heart and soul.

The Saturday Lunch

Picture
Heaven is where it is,
The vast expanse
Some call it life
Others death
Aren't we all dancing
Fun or not
being the only choice?

Or maybe just taking in.
Not holding the breath
But knowing it.
Not holding it
But living it.

The warm sun
And a glass of wine
Some olives
Did I say warmth?
And love
And everything else
Small and beautiful.
