serve me pain, serve me sorrow
torturing wind as it blows
injects a little immortality in me
nothing you shall gain
for my limits to consume pain
are beyond eternity
serve me pain

i take pride for u raised me right
i take pride as you raised me right
you were tough you were polite
when I searched for the meaning of life
you gave me the vision to a brighter side
when I lost my courage
you pushed me to fight
in your strong yet loving arms
I could always hide
when nights were long & dark
you held my light
watched my back till I took my flight
everything is just so special tonight
i am crowned, to reach new heights
thank you DAD for being my guide
a poem of emotions for you i recite
i sure do take pride for you raised me right
Teachings of a Stray Dog
The stray dog who lives on the street outside my house. We call him Bhurelal. Yes, that’s his name.He came here about 4 years back if I remember correctly. Me, both my girls and my husband are very fond of him. He has become very comfortable with us.
I must admit that he has taught me many things and I am sharing one of his teachings today.
Over these past few years, I have been giving him food, but not on a regular basis. There are times, when there is not enough milk or chicken in my refrigerator. I have seen that on any day when I don’t offer him anything, he sits outside the gate and waits patiently and then leaves to find food somewhere else (no barking complaints).
He appreciates whatever little I do for him but at the same time, I have never seen him being…

deafening sound of silence
deafening sound of the silence
on the other side of the phone
only to confirm
the departure of laughter
mugs of coffee with chocolate muffins
hand holdings and long walks
kisses in movie theaters
deafening sound of the silence
announcing loudly of the loneliness to follow
only him lying on the bed
her soft body vanishing
escaping his touch, refusing to be caressed
his senses loosing capacity
to hear any kind of music
for he is deafened now
by deafening sound of the silence
last night together
embraced in his arms
skin to skin, mouth to mouth
she couldn’t whisper
for the kiss was slow and long
he could see through her closed eyes
her sensual imaginations
feel her pulsing heart
moaning in pleasure
unaware of his secret
this time, he thought
must he, give his best
for it was the last night together
tomorrow, he shall leave
to return, never
my dark side
darkness of the night
lit my mind
made me realize
things about me
there are a few
confessions to be made
there is also
a dark side to me
my dark side has my sadness
my sadness leads to anger
my anger gives a boost
disgust then grows stronger
the pain is too much to handle
when my fears show up
with a need to go beyond the dark
i tell myself to grow up
the brighter side in me then
enlightens my way
i choose to start afresh
with the shining light of the day
he said
he said
don’t talk
she never uttered a word
he said
don’t expect
she never asked him a thing
he said
don’t follow
she never took another step
then
he said
don’t love
& she broke
into a million pieces
my fear – through the path of life
the path of life
has made me worth
has made me wise
falls were many
scarce was delight
at times it got too much
was just about to give up
in that moment
I gave myself an advice
there’s no fun in failing
so I stood up to fight
my biggest fall ever
made me rise
rise enough
to reach new heights
for there’s one thing
I left behind forever
my fear
