Romance

Every life is
a silent romance
written within the heart
with poignancy in every sentence

Conundrum

The now
and what went before
which of the two
do we prefer?

Tears

Tears, they tell
only a fraction
of the heart's pain-
even words
are so futile
they fail:
hardly do
they say well

hence:
tears-
they stay alone:
broken
forlorn
within themselves
with their hidden
and unspeakable tale

The Hand

The hand
that holds the pen
will change
every heart
more than
anything can

Anne Frank: A note, not from her diary

I'm sure ,when I grow up, I will discover the true meaning of love-
what I feel now is but a flicker, but by then, it will be a flame

You and I

I can help you
so much only
the rest is entirely
up to thee-

I've my problems too
in my life-journey
I had to struggle so frequently
to be free and happy

I wish you well--sincerely
wherever you might be
we're also cast into life's uncertainty
we've each to reckon with destiny

Poetry and me

Poetry
so frequently
is like prayer
to me
