dancing drops of RAIN

dancing drops of RAIN

falling from the heaven, as if

slipping away from the hands of the almighty

glorifying gravity, speeding to kiss the sand

fragmented, scattered

swaying in directions to the command of the wind

lessening in size with passing seconds

clashing with all that comes in way

making life to drip, glow the greener way

ever wondered such power such passion behind

engaged in making music of their own kind

with the tune of the clash of the clouds

these dancing drops of RAIN

my dimly lit room

my dimly lit room

mySestina

I sat in my room, dimly lit
scent of rich mahogany in all corners
covering the walls and the ceiling paneled
books of literature assembled neatly
untouched on heavy wooden shelves
that chair rocked occasionally
fueled by some air from under the door planks
on the table a little high on the side
sat the gold brown rotary phone
seldom it rang with a few heavy rings
on the hand carved rich wooden consoles
the caretaker had kept a bouquet of flowers
their fragrance mingling well with the polish on my table
I take a deep breath to live its flavor
I put the gramophone to work to play a sensuous tune
in a fine glass, poured me a double of my English whisky
sipped slowly the flavor that burnt my throat
a ritual that I follow every evening
for I am deeply in love with the luxurious richness
of…

oh dreams & the other state of us

oh dreams & the other state of us

mySestina

ambiguous lives, lived by the living

in twin states of being awake or dreaming

overwhelming yet secretive

intrigues us souls to discover the relevance

the genuineness or the forgery

of both the worlds we spend our breaths in

are we real with these eyelids shut

or the color with our eyes open, is faithful

a mystery to remain so, never to be revealed

oh dreams and the other state of us

the snail

the snail

the snail walking its pace

innocent of the world racing around

its manner presenting tranquility

a spirit so calm and quiet

the snail walking its pace

books..

books..

mySestina

luxuriously, elegantly

relaxing on levels patiently

waiting to swallow

the innocence of those

determined to come close

to touch, to hold

the wisdom treasured

on papers sewn together

in ink of all colors

Survivor I Am

Survivor I Am

mySestina

I fell, I rose
the doors on my way
few open, few close
I was cold, sometimes I was warm
yet merciless struggle
could do my will no harm
looked back a few times
looked forward and climbed
the journey of my life
has taken, has given
it has challenged me
it has driven
success and failure
could neither charm ME
nor could they ever block
SURVIVOR I am, I never stopped

we have no song

we have no song

mySestina

together we couldn’t write a song

failed to make memories to last for long

as his emotions failed him

my words failed me at the same time

henceforth

shall we part

for there’s no music for us

we have no song

to us

it doesn’t belong

calling for loneliness – come, see me..

calling for loneliness – come, see me..

mySestina

in a jungle deep and dense

by the bank of an overflowing  river

under the tree with thousand shadows

surrounded by disturbingly noiseless woods

lost in my own emptiness

i call for my lonliness, to come, see me

for they shall never be able to find us here

 here we shall both rest in peace

the cobbler

the cobbler

mySestina

he sits by the roadside everyday

with his tools placed on a cloth in front

a few shoe soles hung on a board behind him

sewing a broken shoe or polishing another

he is the one who mends people’s shoes

struggles for some shade on a summer noon

barely makes enough for his family to eat dinner

his children never ask him for a gift

for they don’t want to break their father’s heart

they greet him well when he returns back home

they respect his courage to touch everyone’s shoes

the cobbler then sits with his family

all of them relish a few dried pieces of bread

chemistry with GOD

chemistry with GOD

mySestina

we go to him

or he comes to us… doesn’t matter

we just need to feel the presence

of each other

we see him with our eyes

or we don’t… doesn’t matter

must we be sure, he looks upon us

we follow him

or we just stop… doesn’t matter

he’s always somewhere inside us

we whisper to him

or we just pray in our hearts… doesn’t matter

he never fails to understand us

jolly or it’s another rough day… doesn’t matter

must we feel blessed

by Dear God till eternity

goodbye

goodbye

mySestina

it was getting burdensome for him

i felt him running away from me

it was tough, i was anxious, in pain

ignored, my messages not being responded

excuses and lies, everyday i faced

and then he simplified things that day

he said goodbye

‘O honey, I’m having a beer’

‘O honey, I’m having a beer’

mySestina

I am going to relax a little, i sink into the couch

filled my favorite glass with beer lazily

I am about to sip the fizzy froth

my wife – she called, please help me with the dishes

I said ‘O honey, I’m having a beer’

turn down the music a little, she said

‘O honey, I’m having a beer’

daddy, daddy, can we go for a movie, said my son

‘O munchkin, I’m having a beer’

your mom is on the phone for you, called my daughter

‘O dear, I’m having a beer’

hey man come wanna go for a walk? called my neighbour

‘Enough, I’m having a beer’

I am home today after a long week of work

it’s my day off, please give it to me

I’m so happy having a beer

please let me have a beer – my way

Game of Greed

Game of Greed

mySestina

lives fragmentary, broken

chasing greed, thriving for more

possessions irrelevant

competing to possess more.. more

naive to perceive, foolish to register

the merriment to be relished

hidden in tiny little things

goals as soon as achieved, newer set

no hours assigned to celebrate achievements

lives fragmentary becoming now hollow

beauty lost in the game of greed

leading lives to nothingness

making them empty

lives lifeless ultimately
