We smelled your scent
we signed a lengthy confession
we drew a composite
and picked you out of a lineup
yet still you walked away
scott free

time we implicate you
a little bit more

...

A preponderance
of the evidence
suggests duct tape
over rope

you're my willing hostage
you love something about me
but this is all about
keeping you quiet
Stockholm Syndrome - trust or affection felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.
A place and time for every word
said and heard

Never once felt, left alone on the
word book pictured

Meaningful or meaningless, aimlessly targeted, the word muttered
thankfully went unheard

Hurt nor hurled, the word lost in between
playing boomerang

A place and time for every word
said and heard
Some quick thoughts about words :)

Hugging is that exercise
That melts the heart away,
Hug your child a little more
To melt those blues away.

Kiss the babies cheeks
A warm kiss on forehead,
Just to cheer that sullen face
And to pamper with all the love you have.

It's a tough time we are living in
No future prediction can be true,
Don't leave anything for tomorrow
Just finish all the task today.

Share the childhood
memories
Pen the thoughts somewhere,
Let the world know,

That you are a fighter,
And the fighter you will be tomorrow.

Changed the last paragraph.
Throw away the hatred
Fill the home with love,

Throw away the anger
Bring peace instead,

Throw away the pain
Heal your heart inturn,

Throw away the anxiety
Fulfill the dreams in return,

Throw away the guilt if any,
Just re-live again,

One day at a time
Cherish the moments in your mind,

Your never know who all will make it tomorrow
Don't keep grudges anymore.

To live
Learn to live without

Desires and wishes
You have to think beyond

The fear that you have lived with
Within, you ought to give up on
No, it’s not a cake walk song

Losing an ego
Doesn’t make you any weak
You have won hearts, after all

For once and all
You ought to be strong

To live
Learn to live without
Even under lockdown and quarantine,
The Poet's mind forever remains free.
Free of all earthly ******* and takes flight, -
To that ethereal land of poetry!
Nothing lasts forever in this world of
change and flux.
But poetry tingles my mind, gladdens my heart,
and elevates my soul,
Free from all our earthly virus!

A lone kingfisher
Meditates on lotus bud
Fish in the pond springs

Tigress walks her cubs
Ferocious, in her ways
Grooms with love, to prey

A stag in the woods
Flies with swiftness of the wind
Sacred its antlers
Inspired by photos shared by a friend!
Thanks for reading. :)
Scent of the flowers
Crisp words, and sepia pages
Vivid memories
Restless times
The mind
Wearing out thin
Being truthful to self
Happy and sad
Two states
Trying to embrace
Every day
Not the same
Uncertainty
And impermanence of the winds
Withstanding the storm
The silence within
Claims the calm
