We are greeted by a bright new day
Love, dreams and happiness are here to stay
With this pledge in our heart and determination
Let’s start the new day and erase all aberration

The nomadic mind
seeks treasures
in the places forgotten
by others
tracing the lost path
under the debris of neglect
these eyes see
what the world neglected
the wandering
has brought me to solitude
where this place can give
I am not lost wandering

You can vehemently argue in Silence
The Loudest argument ever!

Walking through the perfumed garden
All the flowers were vociferous
Spreading their happiness
With the intense aroma that pours out
Potent cocktail carried by the wind
Tugging at my heart
To come back every day for a stroll
Perfumed garden allures me
Their fragrance has so much enthusiasm

Lovers parted ways
Drifted apart continents
Submerged in ocean’s depth

It's a trend it is not trendy

A gilded cage may look inviting
It still imprisons freedom*

There must be an eternal fountain
Where the creative ink flows
A secluded hamlet where all Muse resides
A museum where all seer poets are featured
The laureates from earlier centuries
Adorning the walls of ‘Hall of Fame’
Their legacy passed on to next centuries
Some through narratives or written manuscripts
Omnipresent, to provide the guiding light
To pen the narratives, metaphors, onomatopoeia
The rhyme schemes- Ballade, Chant royal, Cinquain, Ottavia
But most important of all is the rhythm of the heart
And when the heart and soul coalesce, it creates literature
The rhyming schemes of our mind, heart and soul
Is what the composition of a passionate writing is**

Wonder what’s imagination?
Where are the seeds of imagination?
That sprouts in our mind
Sometimes dying as a sapling
Or if nurtured, can grow strong as oak
But who plants the seed in our mind
Is it imagination within an imagination?
How can one cocoon the other?
The foundation of creativity is imagination
Somewhere our mind does travel for inspiration
Does imagination inhabit any other universe?
Visiting us with its momentary flash
Providing enough light to germinate the seed
Have we deciphered the brain?
Sometimes it feels as if it is planted in our body
To control the whole nervous system
Isn't it that we are in a way powered by our imagination?
Or, am I imagining too much about the concept of imagination
For now let’s imagine we are living in the only inhabitable planet
For we have achieved so much by virtue of imagination
All that we see around us were once a figment of our imagination
Why don’t we imagine that we can accept everyone?
For what they are, and not imagine that we are superior or inferior
Maybe this imagination will really come true
For, if we can imagine, we can surely make it a reality

As dawn creeps in slowly over the night
To usher the day with new found hopes
Without fail it keeps its tryst with humanity
Love dawns on our Life whenever we are in darkness
As Love finds us if we have hope in our heart
Always give Love a chance, as there is always a new day*

Your smile is the poetry
I was never able to write
For it never had words
An honest expression of your soul
Unmatched radiance across your face
Poetry which is most eloquent
Recited from your heart to mine

If we always look through a microscope
We miss the bigger picture

When you love the stars
More than the sun
And night becomes a safe haven
Moon becomes your companion
Lighting your path
You walk hand in hand with night
When you listen to the silence
More than the words spoken
The silver painted canvas
Gives you so many ideas
To paint with the colors of the night
Once a world hidden
Now you can see it clearly in moonlight
Radiant darkness bathes you
As the glorious night merges with you
Deep thoughts carve the mood
Somber moments of night
Regales you with no explanations

Face yourself
In front of the mirror
Can you tolerate?
The reflection
Or makes you cringe
In an endeavor
To mask the reality
Another face becomes true
Which may not be you

Glide till the end of time
Break away from the illusion
Experience a smooth ride
With the harmonious waves
Big sea of nothingness
Plunge deeper and swim alone
Experience the tides of change
Away from where you have been
Now you are free of everything
Float in the vast sea of oneness
Soul is fluid and adaptable to truth
Free flow of energy through eternity
You are nothingness and everything

A night of dreams-
Resident of the clouds
Flying across the blue
Visiting every mountain peak
Where the mood is somber
Monasteries, carved in mountains
Hymns reverberating everywhere
From the precipice, a view to behold
Standing there with arms wide open
As morning dawns tenderly
Soaking in the misty aura all around
Gently stirring the core of my soul
As I wake up with renewed faith
From the dream within my dream

How great an artist
The work of an ace sculptor
So many faces I see
There’s beauty in all
No end to inspiration
To keep creating everyday
Gifted with beautiful heart
And radiant feelings
Genuine smile on those faces
Fills everyday with happiness
A portrait of the soul
Can be seen on the faces
The glint in the eyes
Are jewels of the face
Stars descend on earth
Mesmerized by the eyes
Smiles win hearts
I see so many faces
And I am filled with joy

Let’s wait for eternity
We shall meet there
With all these fleeting moments
We will create our world
Every moment will come alive
Never to fade away from our life
Life after this life, we look forward to
True love will wait for eternity
Beyond everyday love and phrases
Our silence will speak love from the heart
Walls of profound sacredness will protect
Lovers from the illusion of time
Let’s wait for eternity
True love will live throughout in our soul
We cannot be impatient now
Our time will come when true love will prosper

You have bestowed me with the indelible ink
And the pen dipped in it, flows effortlessly
Writing passionate words, in the pristine white
Pages, which are the canvas, of your faith in me
The supreme surrender to my muse
And I have been gifted with the freedom to emote
My inner feelings, completely exposed
As you are me, and I am you, our soul coalesced
As the passion has reached a crescendo
And the final ****** has reached a frenzied culmination

Take off the night’s cover
Welcome the first rays
Feel the harmonious waves
Soft melody of the Earth
Pleasant notes hits the ears
Wait for the drapes to go up
View the world in new light
It’s time for dreams to take off
Meditate on the possibilities

Sometimes all the love you give
Is returned with a resounding deceit
Believing all the while, you are the cynosure
Yet, the centripetal force keeps you moving
Apparently, in sync with the lovers heart
When you realize, the asynchronous beats
But words are betraying the innermost deceit
Cracks appear, yet we turn a blind eye
Until it’s too late, when we stare at a wide chasm
All you want is to plunge into the darkness
Emotions run chaotically around the heart
Ripping away the veneer of love
Falsifying all beliefs, redeeming hurt
Eroding away the base of the relationship
It’s all there, in the saga of pseudo love

The night is happy
Lover’s meet again
Never to part

The jagged edges of rocks
Get smoothened by flowing water
Yet, the broken mental edges
Cannot be soothed by the flowing emotions
Holding on to life, hanging from a precipice
Not aware of the surrounding, but mental agony
Blurry eyes and senses, leaves you forlorn
Donning a black cloak, coalescing with darkness
Oblivion beckons with enthusiasm
To make you a part of the lonely journey
Travelling with a heavy load of denials
Yet, the rebuttal, becomes the only truth

Mystic air
Whispers a secret
Heart’s content
After the message
Special heart
Common rhythm
Tugs at the soul
To embrace
The world
Protect the beauty
Eternally yours

Sky shows mood of the day
Prematurely turned gray
Once bright and clear
Now gloominess hangs low
Wilting under the pressure
Of threatening clouds
Shades of sadness across
Waiting for it to clear
My dreams can fly again
As the sun waits its turn
At the backyard

Spoonful of hope
Poured with care
Elixir to rejuvenate
The dim realities
Gulped down
For it to find its way
Through the
Corridors of malady
To infuse hope
Bleak moments
Will surely brighten
Gaining strength
To fight another day

By shutting out the noisy world
I can hear the heart chanting
the words of gratitude-
A mantra which reaches every heart
