Love is a warm hug whenever I need it. 
Love is perspective, even if I don’t heed it. 
Love is that perfect coffee cup
Love is you goading me to never give up

Love is you driving 3 hours to make me smile
Love is you whipping me to exercise, mile after mile. 

You Ajit , my love are my strength, my confidence
My cocoon, my rock, my mirror and my wings

This love note, sweetie is ‘Just Because’
No anniv, valentines or any other cause. 

Coz, why should I have to wait for a fancy day 
When I am feeling all cozy and loved today !

Words

Words given
Words beheld
Words broken
Words mislead

Words spewed
Words repented
Words unsaid
Words intended

Words repeated
And yet misunderstood
Words n’er spoken
And yet understood

Words impotent
Unable to convey
Words inadequate
Too much to say

Words weary,
Choked, Overwhelmed.
Words wordless,
Dwindled, Dried Up.

Dangerous Dreams

What happens when your dreams don't pan out ? 

Dangerous Dreams

I birthed a dream 
Eons gone by 

It started to grow 
It learnt to fly 

It started to soar 
It flew very high 

It took me along
For the ride

I felt delirious
Dizzy and light

I started to float
In the sky

My dream grew monstrous
It gripped me tight

The monster grew fangs
It bled me dry

I started to choke 
I started to die

I stabbed it dead
So I could survive

I killed my dream 
But I died inside

I live , I know 
But am I alive ?

Happy Diwali 2017

A candle of hope that flickers
Through storms of doubt, uncertainty

A lamp that glows within heart and hearth
With love, warmth and serenity

A street light that shows the way 
To lost travellers of the night 

A ray of sunshine that brings along 
A pinch of joy, laughter and delight 

Twinkling stars that interrupt
The bleakness of the dull, dark, sky
Little acts of goodness
That keep faith and trust alive 

Myriad of ways we can aspire to be
The light in others we seek to see
Luminous diyas that radiate 
The message of Diwali

Happy Diwali everyone !!

True Colors

He showed her his stripes
She refused to see
She preferred her coloured lenses
Her tinted reality

'See I told you' they said
People who thought they knew
They just viewed him 
Through another hue

Had he changed
His attire recently ?
Or was it just that 
She had new glasses
Currently.
