Compulsion

Very much into the mundane funds, revenue, haunt me deadlines, commitments tear me apart, as I recline in exhaustion. Rupee ebbs and falls promises scare me, I count, calculate, tabulate all through 'the night burning the mid night oil, My eyes beseech. I keep going with a drive. Unable to remain al...

II Resemble A Mafia

Travelling out of town a rarity in the last two years when most of the days I stay home doing all sorts of activities online. Moved out for a week and a half the roads seem new, so do the people walking with masks covering the mouth and nose with distraction, most wearing under the chin. It is life ...

The Devil In Me

A little patience, heart commands a pause instructs my mind. I pay no attention, it is now and at once commence with a bang, Turning at times hysterical like a mad dog, I wag my tongue harsh and rude like a hungry tiger. Blood shot eyes, expressive of indignation enhance my seething temper and I app...

All Happen In A Day

The rains come
with a momentum
a heavy downpour
inundating high and low.

The sun rises
shines with a brilliance
scorching the places
plains and hills.

The storm blows
in high velocity
bringing roofs down
a collapse unthinkable.

Flooding dries up
Heat subdues,
Wind abates.
All happen in a day.

Pal acts swift. Brings in hi...

Re: Young Man

as if I were a child in a pediatrician’s
office, and he was offering a lollipop
fantastic, Bob,

and the lines
wagging my tongue but maintained
my dignity. I simply eased out the door,

tripping over my shoestring
that had come undone.
I am able to visualize. The lines are powerful.

Into The Depths

Wind blows strong with a roar, Coconuts fall on the roof, thud thud it goes, setting the heart to pound. Unusual of the Sun. It is 4 in the evening. Darkness casts in full fledge, Down goes the Sun, Could this be a bad omen? Is the world going to end? The throb induces a palpitation. Lub a dub beats...

Re: Paralyzing

Your edit is wonderful and makes an interesting read.
The last stanza where the colours play a role is fascinating.
I have to redo, not at all, just copy and paste,

Listening To Silence

Silence is noise, sweet and pleasing. one of awe, one that inspires. Silence is an exposition of impressions, live and bygones. Gold like The trees and flowers expressions of fecundity and beauty, display eloquence. The buildings tall and small deliver the sighs and cries with subtle reference. Plac...

The Noisy Night

It is 10.30 in the night, the next house is busy, I am wrong, it is no more an house but an eatery overnight. The clatter while making Kothu [/i]Parotta tears the silence. Spot lights shine. Five or six cooks mix the flour, roll into balls, spread them and swing left to right. Watching the art of ma...
