I choose to remain, hungry for more
not ashamed, of my greed never satisfying
for it’s only Love, that I am asking for
would you please be kind to tell me
do I deserve a punishment?

only Love
Day: July 23, 2016
Shall I ?
shall i urge you to support me a little
shall i ask you to come celebrate life with me
shall i aspire you to be beaming like the sun
shall i inspire you to leave the negative behind
shall i answer your questions if you may have any
shall i gently force you to smile a little
shall i make you forget all of your fears
shall i honor you today for your unmatched courage
shall i praise your serenity that fails the moon
shall i encourage you to climb no matter how high is the mountain
shall i ask you today for one more thing my dear
in the name of humanity
allow me to do all that I can, for you!
From a Woman to a Mother
it was her, just her …. a woman
made love to a man for she was his wife
started to experience another life inside
her womb was a bit more sensitive now
her belly swelled a little every moment
another heart started to beat inside her
she truly became a woman with two hearts
life grew inside each day every moment
one after the other all the senses came to life
inside her womb, the baby started to hear
she even cried at times she smiled
kicked a few goals sucked on her thumb
nine months advanced, it was time for the finale
anxiety & excitement both filled the woman
for the pain so intense, unable to bear
her muscles stretched and loosened with each contraction
o heaven!! come out fast, she told the baby
hours of pushing and screaming and heavy breathing
finally, she could hear her first cry
tears of excitement filled her eyes
even before placenta could relieve her frame
she had forgotten already the excruciating pain
in that moment she felt complete
held the tiny soul in her arms, watched her crying
she offered her breast to the tiny mouth
the baby first struggled then started to suckle
that’s when the woman became a mother
Countless hours on her Grave
sitting, on her grave in silence
he spent COUNTLESS number of hours
somewhere deep, he was sure
not to get any answers from her
with pain immense
and a little hope in his heart
he kept whispering to her softly
to answer
to come back to him
Hope
whispers of HOPE, covered the sky
falling on the earth, like soft snow flakes
giving a dazzling sight, for the eyes to behold
spreading positivity, for the hearts to hold
the nights not darker, not longer no more
days inspired, like rising waves on the shore
souls swarmed with zeal to the goal
unstopping, tirelessly ascended the slope
let’s see, let’s hear, let’s smile
some HOPE
invincible, supreme, angelic
HOPE
two Souls
two souls
lying hand in hand
under the sky
stars twinkle above
melting them
in glitter
two souls
marveled
at the adventure hidden
that future holds
in store
two souls
awestruck
to imagine
their lives
as it may come
as charming as
the sky above
We have no Song
together, we couldn’t sing a song
failed to make memories, to last for long
his emotions failed him, to reach to me
my words failed me, to make him listen
henceforth, shall we part
for there’s no music for us
we have no song
to us – it does not belong
the song, never meant to be ours’
My dimly lit Room
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 my dimly lit room
