Don’t Talk to Me of Love
Talk to me of anything,If you please, everythingBut love.It is a topic over-exploited,More like an onion too sauteed.What is it with everyone,Each relative and that unknown bun,Who lives in "loveland?"Don't they have anything else to think?Is this the only way they find to sink?Talk to me of nature --Diversified in its great stature,Of rivers and [...]
The Late Bloom
Some things are not meant to be. But some are. Who is to tell which is which? Some episodes speed away. But some take their time. They are like the late bloom. A seed fell on a dirty sidewalk. It got trampled on. Again and again. It was not paid attention to. Nothing was expected [...]
The Sun and the Moon
The Sun was fiery, Always hot-headed, Always scary, Keeping everyone afar. The Moon was dim, Full of spots, Full of faults, With not even light to boast of. A trick of the universe or A trick of fate, Made the Sun fall For the Moon. Ever since, without fail, daily The Sun decided to go [...]

You are the Sun
It's your universe. It's your story. So here dear, you are the sun. You are not just a planet, Revolving around someone else. Here, you are the sun. Don't let them fool you, Into acting like what you are not. For here, you are the sun. You are burning alive inside, Not yet burnt out [...]
Wet Soil’s Smell
The rain drops fall Slowly at first, As if afraid to touch the earth, As if scared of its response. One by one, They gauge its warmth, As if to know if it is ready, As if to know how hard to fall. The rain picks up speed, More confident with every new moment, As [...]
Barefoot on Grass
Once in a while, Take off those sneakers, Take off those socks, To step barefoot on the grass. Allow it to touch your soles. Allow its tips To gently tingle them, To quietly relax them. Once in a while, Break down the barriers Between nature and you, To step out of your bubble. Allow yourself [...]
