Through the
Peepholes of
Your eyes,
I can see
Your soul,
And I can't
Wait to love
it.

-Sayali Parkar

My father's name means
'one who doesn't mourn'.

But  I  have seen him
Grieving for  his
Grim childhood, broken
Home, fading away of
His own father after
Prolonged sickness, his
widowed mother of
Twenty years and his
Four year old self.

Maybe sometimes your
Name isn't something
You are, but something
You should be.

-Sayali Parkar

I belong to
The gusty
Winds, that
Whisper
Sweet nothings
To me,
                  I belong to
                  The red of
                  My roses
                  And the
                  Captivating
                  Aroma they
                  Emanate,
I belong to
The soil, and
The way it
Nurtures and
Even accepts
The dead,
                    I belong to
                    The rain, which
                    Quenches the
                    Thirst of the
                     Parched soil,
I belong to
Him, who
Loves my
Soul, despite
Of the scars
Which sullied
It, and can kiss
Those scars
Back to whole.

// Belong

-Sayali Parkar

Sing me a song,
Of light that was
Always mine,

Sing me a song,
Of the little
Moments that weave
My life,

Sing me a song,
Of the burning
Embers of desires
Within me,

Sing me a song,
Of time, which
Will take forever
To end.

-Sayali Parkar

Let me fill
In your embrace,

Let your heart
Hum its beats
to me,

Let me hear
The sweetest
Lullaby,

Let my chaos
Sleep.

-Sayali Parkar

Sometimes
          Letting go
Is the only
          Thing you
Can hold
          on to.

-Sayali Parkar

Your love pattered,
On the earthen roofs
Of my heart, awakening
Everything within.

-Sayali Parkar

As long as
The wind
Blows,
     The rain
      Wets the
      Parched soil,
The blades
Of grass,
Break the
Ground,
      The roses
      Emanate
      The aromatic
      Aura,
Bees hover
Over the
Flowers,
       You love me
       By all your
       Heart,
I'll have
Stories to
Tell.

// As long as

-Sayali Parkar

A poem is a woven
Spell; which can
Mend a broken heart,
Build up crumbled
Hopes.
