The little girl
The little girl
Had kittens and pups to play with
New to life, herself
She knew the only life with them around
All of five, homeschooled
She had friends
Never left alone
Giggles and smiles
Her parents’ delight

How would you know
How would you know, unless you have deeply felt
How would you feel, unless you have deeply known
The present, a present from the past
The past could never present itself today
How would you know, what tomorrow looks like
Unless, today existed and paved way for tomorrow to live
In tandem the days
Never in each other’s way
Existing each day
Come what may

On the island

Under the shade of the tree
Shadows of the leaves played hide and seek

Green sea and the sandy beach, on the isolated island serene

The sun sparkles white, the bright star
That it is

The lone, silver motor boat, recently got a fresh coat

Awaits its ride on the balmy waves
Inspired by a photograph

Life- these days
Days forgotten, the ones
Which we, once lived
Fast and thoughtlessly, well thought out
A few months ago

Life slowed down
And the process has led to
Fast escape, to avoid contact
Leading to loss of contact

People these days
Want to meet and greet
To re-establish, what was lost
To concur and live once more

Yesterdays and the words

Yesterday
Had been looking up for something
In the closet
Found some old words
Neatly stacked
Forgotten on the upper shelves
Memories of a time
Gently folded them
And tucked them back
Up, where they were placed
Under many other words
To be used in time
When the time is fine

One life

One step right

Two steps back

What went wrong

No one has the right

To wrong anyone

What went up

Is the angry flame

brought it down

To ashes and pain

Two steps back

Up and right

What went down

In plain sight

Brought insight

Up and down

Right and wrong

Life is one big song
Too many thoughts, last to be worded tonight :)

Yellow song

The little yellow bird
Precariously perched on the yellow mustard flowers
Sang the wisdom song
To the little girl, passing by on her yellow bicycle
To enjoy the song of life, abundantly
And to paddle on
By the fields and the nearby stream
Back on the tar road, safe
In her warm yellow home

Wherever... Whatever...

Sometimes
I write
And then leave
Unfinished portions
Unable to trace back to the thought
Weaving in new
Words sewn together
Unknown the patterns
The words blink
Pause
Then stick to each other
As they always do
Trying to make sense to themselves
And whoever reads
The thoughts
Of irregular patterns
In sync with mystery
To the writer and words...
Wherever thoughts and whatever words  :)
Sorry,  had been busy being happy  :))  the last few days
Much to catch up here  :)
Hope you all are doing well  :)

Behold

Along with the morning mists
The tender leaves gently  uncurl
Soak in the first rays of the Sun
Listen closely to the dew
And its translucent views
Up in the mists
Rolls the voice of the soul
Behold

Cherry blossoms bloom
On the magnificent trees
Bend over the pink picket fence

Reflection of the sun
In the glassy forest lake
Glints with a silver sheen

The sun is hazy, and the sky sometimes
Turns to a shade of cherry pink
A lovely cheer it brings

Misty roads, lead to old town stores
Prepping up indoors
for the tourists soon at their door

Mid-November
Ushers in the festival
Cherry blossom pink
Inspired by a Facebook post
Cherry blossoms festival held in Shillong,, Meghalaya

Blessings of words

Blessings of words
Arrived in a parcel of dreams
Best dressed

Fearlessly facing fears
Riveting heights
Rungs of the ladder, uneven
Ancient lamp lit, climb through the dark

Rivers and sky
A world in between
Swimming, hoping to fly
Beyond the crest

Reaping not rusting
Into the last harvest
Forever foraging, the wild within
Wilderness alive

Gratitude laden fragrance
Never ever to bottle the essence
In the world of words
Living wild and free

The knots know no reason
They come and go
Loosened or tightened
At will or not
They know no reason

Masked reality

Remembering the times
When we went our free
Mask-less

The wheels of today, heavier than yesterday
Face the expression of other, masked
Get to task

The world is busy, independently
Social meetings in ruins
Empty chats, veering the talks

Care and support given out free
Distance ever increased
Measured the steps

Live today and try to be safe
When tomorrow comes
Repeat the same

Remembering the times
When we went out free
Mask-less

Village Scene

Smoke billowing from the bonfire
Velvet yellow blanket, fields of marigolds
The villages have an old world charm
Vast greens and farmlands
Thatched roof houses
The cattle in the shed, sounds of rustic trucks
The tractor on the farm
Farmers in uniforms, toil and till their land
Fresh and pure the air to breathe
Happy
Shades of green, in their eyes gleam

Twilight begins

At sunset
The sky turns in liquid gold
The trees with forgotten leaves
Promised, new to grow
Orange pinwheel, rolls down the hills
The shadows of the bark, evenly spill
on the grey grained roads
Shining bright and dark
The twilight begins

Indubitably
Forgive
The one, who brings hurt
One day you may forget
The hurt

If people understood people
Wordlessly, it is understood
Words never conspire
It is the thoughts

Sever what’s unsavoury
Separate,
weeds and seeds
Plant what you can feast on and feed

Hope-fully

Empty streets
Hope, dismissed
Fears of a wave
Of being swept away
Abandoned faith
Dust it tastes
Mortal to the core
Fear leads to no shore
Hope makes you live

The world awaits

There is a world that awaits
The wonders of new world

The world where the burdens of today
Are vanquished

Valiant warriors of peace
March forward and lead us into a world
So true
Anew

The world that awaits
A new world
Free
From the worldly prudence

The crow

Happy feet
The crow on the bamboo stick
No shiny objects in sight
Looks side to side obliquely
The green worm hanging low
Would be fine for the morning time
Solitary, the crow
perched atop the bamboo stick
later may find a bone to pick

Never exhaust

Finish what you started
Think what you want
Steps taken, mistaken
Never forsaken

Lossless or with loss
The words, always well played
Thoughtfully or thoughtless, gained
Never tossed

Mild milieu
Boundlessly, unbound
Rigours and rumours
Rivers surpass

Never exhaust

Rose gold sky

New to the world
The little bird

Few feathers
Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly

Toddled up to the new branch
A balancing act, tried
The fruits ripe, nourishment found

Few feathers
Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly

The little bird
New to the world
Knew it had to fly
Soon it grew more wings

Rose up to the treetops
Soon found
The rose gold sky

Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly

Nowhere words

Why is light deep within
And in Darkness not seen

Line after line, the words follow
A ritual, every now and then

A heart in the cookie engraved
Beautiful still

Bold are the ones, with depth,
shallows stand, in test, for depth

Forever skies,
Nowhere words

Footprints

Footprints in the sand don’t last long

Clingy wet mud, lightly does one trudge
The footprints fudged

Fine grained mud, one walks slow, soon to dust the footprints turn

The paws that tread on the wet concrete, footprints one
too many...

Permanent

The day’s promises

The new day rose
Promises it kept to the red rose
Rose with sparkles of sunshine

A white perfumed carpet
The jasmines lay
On the green grass

As the dusk fell
The birds knew their homes
Warm and welcome, close

In the cold winter’s night
The day and its moments
Forever froze

Anger and grief
Anger and grief
Lethal the combination
Can either run you down
Or can bring down everything around
To be able to rightly express
and be understood, the same
Everyone needs
To be free from
From anger and grief

The walls
Mysterious feather
Yarn, Pom-pom *****
Decorate the mirror on the wall
Embellished lamps
Antique silver pocket watch
The clock on the wall
Clocked 40 years
The family portraits

When the family lived together
Under the ancestral roof
Until, the young found their calling
In far off lands

Mortally divine
Bougainvilleas and the sunshine
Together on the vine, sway on
The colours of independence, divine

Playful the breeze, sun dried peepal leaves
Break free of life so green
Brown, soon to be one with Mother Earth

Mortal and true their presence and essence
The leaves represent
Nature and the cycle of birth and death

The journey
Destinations allure
Travels bring the experience
The journey long or short
One takes, for the soul

Clear Shimmering water
Mute swans in the lake
Ripples and trails
Warm glow of the morning star

Mirthful birds, squirrels with nuts
Flying eagles, flapping wings
Cows at the old watering hole
The roads full of people, young and old

Festive, the season, vibrant colours
Orange and pink, rustic blue
The streets adorned
Silver and gold, family traditions hold
Road trip to his hometown for the Festival of Lights

Cliff anger

With none to blame
And no reason to claim
The anger was thrown off the cliff
A soothing calm
Melting down the pain
The gentle breeze
And its silent presence
Finally felt

Barred

The window had bars
To protect the one
By the ledge, uncaring of the heights
When deep in a conversation
How eerily close on the edge
So the window had bars

Feel it in every vein, relax

Fragrant memories

Butterflies
Shades of blue, grey, too true
Dancing ferns, irregular patterns
Shade and sun
mellow winter sky
Earthy pearls, flowers and petals
Stories of innocence and fun
Wherever you may go
it lingers
In shapes and forms, distant
Yet evergreen
Under the vibrant sun
Of good old days
fragrant memories

Coastal land

Orange huts
Fresh coat of paint
The colour that held the conical shaped
wooden frames
Lined by coconut and palms
The coastal land
Rainforest canopy
Tropical island
The bricks in white
Struck slant in the ground
Forming rows
On the pathway
At leisure rode
The valiant horse
Late evening when the tides came in
The sea swelled with the golden moon

Beams of gold
Beams of gold
Whispered in the meadows
Where rainbows grew
The veins of tender leaves
Sparkled and shined
As the barks of trees
Transparent and tall
Branching in translucent fruits
Magically in the twigs
Covering every leaf
The beams of gold

The ones which live

Of the many thoughts
that linger in the mind
Some find the words
And
The rest
just rest
Know not, whether in peace
Again

Trying to piece them together

In words,
a release

Old dusty path

The old dusty path
Weather beaten roads

Lead to the farm
With an old barn

The sun shines 
with a light afternoon
breeze

Orange cosmos flowers,
grow wild in the
green hills

Silvery white, slender fragrant flowers,
bloom on the Indian cork trees

The full moon glows through the night
On the old dusty path
