Clot

A crust
of dried blood,
Dust mixed.
A rusted knife,
Wounding
the skin.
The liquid
gushes out again
Clot formed
Un-healed
For the knife
strikes….
Again..

Tic Tock

chimes the clock.

Reminder of the

age old ritual

that I once

denied to acknowledge.

A faint

forgotten lore

rings in my ears.

Unknown,

a thought

visits,scars

my heart

And I once again

aghast, lone

try to fight

these tears

that remind me

of all that was

“forgotten”

Happy Childrens day

And the child in me
runs through
the green green grass.
Feels the morning mist,
kiss my cheeks .
Laughter innocent
my friend.
Soul untouched,
un- corrupt,
Pure…

Just one of those days

Salty, drops of water,

trickling down

the smooth surface of skin.

Reasons not known

yet they trickle down.

the beating is low

and the mind restless.

Reason unknown

yet affected

by this unknown storm

Longing

Evening
Chaos
Words
Conflict
Distance
Longing
Night falls
Silence
Missing warmth
Mind searches
Comfort
Poetry gives
Respite

To my sunshine.. Miss u dear..

To sunshine and angel

pitter patter
the raindrops fall
on my window sill
the sound of the rain
brings back the giggling
of angels and sunshine
on a lazy afternoon
In the cosy corner
gazing into eyes
the smiles of joy
the shared piece
of happiness.
smiles and more
laughter and joy
in the arms
of the one you love

The wedding bells

The union of
the bride and the groom.
A happy future
built in dreams
Preparations go on
in full swing

“Traditional is passe”
The new generation vows
to bring in a change
Nothing new, Nothing new
All’s the same

The menu card comes
promising a huge bill.
Frowned faces,and cost cutting,
Faces invited, gifts purchased
An useless pleasing

The missing piece of
vegetable in the broth,
discussed in my absence
the diety not pleased
And God feeds on my poverty

Jingle Jingle
The wedding bells ring
Bring out the banjo
Dance and sing
and let my pockets
empty within

Mumbai

A big bang
in the distant suburbs.
Metal splinters
pierce through
the skin,
Screams and yells.
Pain flashed
for the world to see
Tears, blood
and gore
For some
It was business
“We are the first”
and the most insensitive
For some,
Hearts bled
drops of hot tears
flowed like a river
Some rejoiced
drinking glassful
of yeasted drink
But still the city
sprung back
with a vengence
Smiles flashed
Peace prevailed
Hands joined together
to say
You can never defeat us
for we are strong
We face life head on
We never say die
Come what may
You wont win
Cause we are
The angels of peace

Mumbai: A place where I was born.The place which made me the person Iam,The place which taught me to appreciate life and live life to the fullest. The place which taught me to dream and also to achieve my dreams..

This poem dedicated to Majhi Mumbai. Tu nehmi ashich sundar raho, heech majhi iccha

The hot blazing sun

The hot blazing sun
The long drive
To “the home”

Laughter and fun
Smiles galore
The noon lunch

More talk and
More laughter
Lives shared

A few silent moments
A few shy smiles
A few glances

The sun drowns
Bye s told
But the smiles remain

Anxious hearts await
For the next drive
To “the home”

Ride back “home”

The hot blazing sun
The long drive
To “the home”

Laughter and fun
Smiles galore
The noon lunch

More talk and
More laughter
Lives shared

A few silent moments
A few shy smiles
A few glances

The sun drowns
Bye s told
But the smiles remain

Anxious hearts await
For the next drive
To “the home”
