View
Rising sun
Shining moon
Glittering stars

In all....
Jun 2021 · 989
Clear...
Your clouded mind
Showered on me
Rains of pain !!

Now I see  clearly
Where I stand.. !!

Chirps
"You are mine I swear"
Words so fine to hear
But rarely heard
From the one who's my world !!

And
In my heart it's oft repeated words
Iouder and louder like chirps of bird
Yet... often goes unheard
And unheeded .....!!

Your smile
In your signature smile
I fell too deep..
Now
The Universe in view
For me is you !!

Father's day ....
Thousand words
Can be written
On Mother's day ...
For the thousand words
You hear everyday...
Of Mother's love..

No words for Father's day..
For, Father is not a word
But an emotion of boundless
care and love.....
That's neither spoken nor heard
But .....only sensed and felt
So much , Inexpressible by words!!

And dads are always mad
In loving their kids
With madness hidden
Deep in their hearts !!

Just like that ..
My
Heart sings
Your praise...
And
My
hand writes
those phrase !!

My friend Harini
Plethora of talents plunged in
yet  HUMILITY personified...

Timer,  a need to punch her timely counters
On wits, she hears…  HUMOUR  is an armour !!

Acted as “Indra” in school play , but she’s “Karna’ in disguise  
Plea for a flower , surprise  awaits , With garden of flowers
GENEROSITY is not a mere play !!

Stormy restless minds, Feels at ease and peace
With an ear to her words , A testimony from me, too
She's a SOOTHER by nature !!

Drawing painting singing Instrumental and vocal
All safe in her hands... No doubt she's a Nightingale's  
MULTI SKILLED sister!!

Thick or thin , bestie or not  , Enjoy absolute care and support
Yet. she calls a *****,  a *****… No matter who is who..
FEARLESS in voicing truth !

Chartered accountant in very first strike, a rarity in records
A glowing crown on charming queen
She’s BEAUTY WITH BRAINS!!

A part and parcel of  NCC uniform that marched  Rajpath R-Day parade
Monumental and enviable moment , Yet , devoid of any  enemies
She is sincerely BELOVED!!

Few words of what she is …… And who she is ....
As no hymns she sings on her , yet  misses no chance to praise others
A MOTIVATOR quite always !!

A BOLD GIRL... class lady with elegance and integrity
Standing firm on her views.. … Can bear no other name...
Than ……….HARINI …..!!

( From flash back memories of
Rajini & kavitha)

Words..
My words
Are reflections
of your love
Jun 2021 · 824
Real..
No coloured words
No covered feelings
No surreal perfections
Yet...with all imperfections
It's so real.....
And that's me
And my heart  !!

Inspiration to self...
Keep your mind straight and firm
For success of your goal
With fitness not neglected
Move in confidence , sure to win !!

Glory and fame might envy your rivals
Sternly you don't compete with them
Compete and compare with you
Each day...and every other day
For a better you !!

Throw away the scar of troubles you faced
As each day is a new day if eyes are opened
Walk away from negativity that holds you back
By pooling your energy like sun !!

Stand on your legs firm
That you don't fall down so easily
Come what may like roaring waves !!

village circus
Rope tightly tied to  poles
Feels the pain of  little girl's legs
Moving as hands horizontally held
Balancing walk from fall into hunger  
Agitated little face reflecting it !!

Small boy steps his dance smilingly
To music of Nashik Dhol
Tuned by a mother's mind
In pain and sorrow...yet with hope !!

Father walks round and round
Whipping his own oiled body
Stubbornly bearing pain of beat
Picking tiny coins thrown by crowd
Into  collection plate of their life !!

A circus for living !!

Nurture the nature
Small is always beautiful
Things or deeds...
little care for flora  around
Of dullness strife environment
Fosters their eagerness
To grow in abundance
Making our Earth
A glorious green planet !!

Heal
Knock down by furious fate
Let teary eyes turn around
For hands to hold tight
From falling apart...!!

Smoke from sorrows
Cast it's spell on night sleep
Eyes robbed of soothing heal
Yearned  to hear cradle songs
To sleep in peace!!

As stood in darkness
Burning soul shedding invisible tears
Craved for a candle light
And a gentle rain !!

Held upright by caring hands
Singing lullabies for tranquil sleep
Bearing happy lights all through
I see you stand.. ......as God!!
Or Are you God send  ??!!

Colours of life
The day her dark hazel eyes
Met him under  grey cloudy sky
White illusional thoughts
Set in her baby pink heart
Scribbling  violet violent romantic words
That "you are mine "!!

Grew up in green and glow
Bright yellow dreams filled with his ****** and care
Blushed in purple under fictional world
Of  "you me and love " !!

Changeless attitude in pitch black  scorn and slur
Angered her to shiver in red
Yet, back as cool as blue placid waters
Flowing as dazzling maroon stream in thoughts
Of " still I love you" !!

Drained emotions turned her brown  
As dead fallen leaves with little silvery hope
For a soothing touch from his golden hands
She whispered to herself
" Thank you for my colourful life"

Smile in wallet
Smiles and laughter that you gave me
Has filled my wallet in full
Still, weighing feathery
Pocketed in the armoires of soul
Ready for every move !!

In my lone walks under all weathers
Hidden deep under the tides of heart
Protected from sun and moon lit world
Bundled in possessiveness I shield my wallet !!

Smiles I preserve has erased my pain
Giving me zeal to live , self assured !!
But you, who gifted me this treasure
Do you even remember me ??

Hibiscus
Bright red hibiscus buds
Eager to bloom , smile in shyness
In night's darkness , yet glowing
Under the golden moon !!

Glossy red frills of blossomed flowers
Sway in buzzing breeze in adorable style
On cheery fulfillment of  life
Under the million rays of mid noon sun !!

In the earth's spin withered flowers lay fallen
With neither smile nor glow ..
But still, there are golden lights
And diamond rays, as always .....
And life continues....

Sketches....
Sketches that look beautiful
And some that are painful
But few,  more colourful
And some meaning full
Stay stored in patterns
For view as in museum
But only... For self view!!

Pain inducing sketches
That had torn my heart
Would find their place in thrash
Replaced with blankness...
How I wish.....if i could  redraw!!

Then, why should I pile up in mind
The unpleasant and undesired
Sketches and frames ????
Shouldn't I erase it all
And let my mind free ???
Yes......here i do it !!!
May 2021 · 187
Peace...
Tiny trots with little hearts
With many a dreams
But with fear for life  
Begging before Almighty !!

Sounds of strikes
From air to heart
With their  world around
falling  apart in pain !!

Thousands rendered homeless
And many others  lifeless
Why the world is in a silence ??
Leaving them helpless !!..

Lord!! With folded hands I pray
May humanity be protected
From all tormenting threats
And
For peace and happiness to prevail!!

Hold...
Hold
my hands
Forever
to walk
Along the roads
Of time .....
Smiling
At the ages we cross
Till
our destination
of eternal peace!!

Rio...
Feathers of colours
Green, red and white
Like a bundle of flowers
I hold him in my hands
And he always feels cozy ...

At times  sits on my  head
And dances to the music
Heard...
Crooning his way all along
Expressing.....he is happy!!

When my face is dull
Changes his face to look sad
Pecking me with his tiny beaks
Makes me feel....he is there !!

It's a beauty to see him fly
But rarely is it's happening
He walks with his tiny legs
Preening at every step....

Beauty is his identity
While his claws sets his class
He is my feathery friend
My Rio......!!!

Fight
My fights with you
Is my fight for you
For your love for me
For the love I have for you
For it's only you
For me to love and fight
And both of these , with you
Just makes me go crazy !!

Walking
Remembering  those days
Of  easy breezy walks to college
Fitting into different colored dresses
That matched with variety hair styles
But face looking  still the same…..

Walked happily and smiling broadly
At faces grinning as well frowning
Talking boldly to some 
And to few remaining mum

Meeting friends on paths
And passing comments at large
Yet walking happily together
With a song in heart…….

It’ was a lively walk….
And now a nostalgic walk!

Chirping birds
Chirping voice of  gleeful birds
Broke my  fretful  thoughts
And as I gazed at them in wonder
To see their happy ways
Little smile carved in
Ousting glumness from my face
To refill my mind again with questions!!

Did the birds sing to me
To join in their song?
By leaving my worries
And move forward weightless
With no burden of fear and tear
And face on spot anything graciously!!

For there exists forever for everyone
The sky and Earth !!

Emerald
Fragrant lush green
Shines as emerald
In the bright shower of
Mid noon sun…
And
In the deepest corners of
My heart it reminds me of
Glowing me
And the doting you!

hot cup of tea
Steams from hot cup of tea
Flew upwards blurring vision
As they sat to sip a cup of tea
From either sides setting eyes on
One another……

With not a drop of tea drunk
Both  engulfed  the taste of souls
Of each other…..
Finding taste more than hot
Cup of tea held in their hands…
Cold breeze from somewhere
blew all over.........
Mar 2021 · 123
Emptiness...
Frightening  howls from far end of night
Haunted  her mind with wild thoughts
Sending cold vibes across her mind and body..
As she lay there with eyes closed
Adding  darkness  to her darkened world….

Hoping for  ray of moon to touch her  paining mind
Offering a soothing light to heal wounds of her soul
Inflicted by rough knifed words that slit her bones
Causing pain more than broken glass
Cutting her tender skin…
 
With hope she sleeps with half mind open
Waiting for sun to shine above her head
To walk straight in bright light  free from fear of losing him...
And walk with emptiness
Than bear the love for some one
Who has almost killed her and left her!!
She is now a free bird....
Ready to fly again high ...
Mar 2021 · 210
She...
Like a soul
Runs around without foul
Covering even tiny holes
To keep family as whole
Taking every strain
Even by tilting her brain
Spreading happy fragrance
Of a dutiful soul....
Yet she is seen as a woman
Mere weak woman !!
Feb 2021 · 411
Invisible you...
Like light in the dark nights
As  guiding whispers in my worries
Building strength in me
To walk alone on my lonely paths
Visible only  to my aching mind
And at times to blurred thoughts
Crystal like on all days and nights
You are my everything ....
Like Sun , Moon , stars and their master!!
Jan 2021 · 140
Just like that
Under the dark but jewled sky
With the smiling stars
And shining moon
I sit alone waiting for your arrival
Come ' on dear
Let's have talk
Let's have fun
And let's fall...
To the laughs from that!!
Dec 2020 · 153
You....
Like the clouds that colour the sky
You painted on me all colours of happiness, and you are my clouds!!

Like the tides that finds solace
In the warm caress of the shores
I find in you....soothing console
To the troubled tidal thoughts of mine ......and you are my shore !!!

Like the trees that dances to the gentle breeze......my heart rejoices in having you.....and you are my world around!

Who ever may you be...
What ever may I be...
We are bound to be...
For each other....always to be !!

Stars...
Innumerable wishes
That I threw off my mind
Lay scattered on the sky
Shining and smiling at me
As twinkling stars. .. ..!!
Dec 2020 · 106
Simple..me !
Burdens I carry
As thoughts , worries
and sadness..
All belong to me, solely
With least desire to share it
With anyone....
either near or dear!!
Lessons they are
That make me realise
Colors true of all
Understand realities
And priorities...
And where I stand
In one's view !!
Hope gives colours
To dreams ...
Yet  often feel broken . .
Though I gather
Myself...
to be me again!!
The simple me!!
Dec 2020 · 103
Just like that...
I tried to read
Lines on me
In the book of your mind..
Turned the pages
Back and forth
Innocently curious
To see it in bold letters..
But alas...
Where are those words on me??
That my eyes searched for..
My mind yearned to read..
And my heart eager to rejoice !!
Am I not in your world?
Or did I miss read you?
Who am I to you?
Just a someone  .. ???

Silent words
Infinite emotions
Innumerable feelings
Inexpressible in words
Interestingly surfaces as silence
Interacting to thousand minds
In ten thousand words !!

Time
She is an angel
sans wings and feathers
Yet flies by seconds..
Never to cover the distance again..
With moves heals wounds of minds
Erasing memories not too good
And gives hope to get along with her..

She is an angel
Some feel she's good to them
While for others she's bad
As for her..she's impartial..
As she moves on Earth changes inhabitants too with seasons
On her every movement....

She is an angel...
Visibly invisible yet always
On move forward...
Without a halt whatsoever..
With a challenge to universe
"Catch me if you can"
And she's on the move..
She's an angel. ...
Timeless....ageless....precious!!

words of silence
Love with unlimited affection
Anger sensibly understood
Happy sadness as perfect partners holding hands...
Infinite emotions  heart holds
with eagerness to rest ...
And talk never ending words of silence
Of  feelings deep down in my heart..
Heard to the only heart
That can only love me....
So unconditionally!!
Nov 2020 · 144
CLOUDED MIND
Clouds on the sky
Cast spell on mind
Bright joyous mood
Turned blurred

Tears rolling down
Like downpour from sky
Bold voice of mine
Seem heard loud
only in silence…

cloud moves..
heart rejoices..
Nov 2020 · 92
Fingers ...
My tiny lonely fingers
Finds their perfect partners
In the hold of your hands..
Like my heart finds its beat
In your's....!!
Nov 2020 · 114
sky ....heart
Like the Innumerable  stars  twinkling  on  the sky
Infinite emotions keep glittering  in my heart...
Is my heart like a sky.....
Or Sky is like my heart ??

My angel
Heaps of love
Stored midst my heart
Keenly awaits you my angel
To shower upon you
All the love and care
I had been yearning to give…

You are God’s Gift for me
For the tears I have shed…

Now  

I bow before God
With all humbleness
Holding in my hands the invaluable treasure
He has given me, in your form..
To be blessed with eternal love and peace..

Love You my Angel
Love You my Princess
Love You my Ally!!

Missing heart
A part of me is you
Other part again is you
Feel lost myself in you
And
My heart seen missing from me
Seems beating for you !!

L
L
Left corner of  my left eye
Lets down little drops of lovely tears
Leaving  dried salt on my dull face
Landing on the earth..
Loudly conveying to mind
Love it holds .....
Like, the pain of mind
Like the tears from eyes!!
Oct 2020 · 97
Life goes on...
Fluttering sound of raindrops
Flickering lamp light at backdrop
Opened the shutters of my mind
To incessant flow of utterly
ambivalent feelings…..

Glittering memories rolling over past
Wilting  happenings of present
And flattering bright hopes of future!!

And at the far end ...
Lies dried up leaves withered down
Greeny grown up leaves on trees drenching in rain
With tiny leaves sprouting out...

Hopefully....life flows on !!
Oct 2020 · 68
Torn flesh
Flesh torn open
In the centre of heart
Makes me run around
Like a drunken mad ox
Out of pain....

Why have you inflicted on
Me so harsh a pierced drill
In the midheart...
Don’t you understand
It's feebleness.. ??
And
where you stayed safe so long !!

Will I survive ?
Oct 2020 · 84
twinkle
Twinkling stars winked at me
Making me blink in surprise
Of the meaning conveyed…
Shouldn’t I be shining like stars
In the world I live ?!
But  
Where am I? Why am I?
Still reeling  behind the clouds !!

Realizations, though realized late
With belief, Time again not gone
I’m on the move…
To make it happen…
And  twinkle like a star
On The Earth!!
Oct 2020 · 108
Breeze
You came as a gentle breeze
Touched upon my inner heart
Making me realise who I'm
And took away the tears
That I stored of pain....!!
When again can I feel the squeeze
Of you...oh gentle breeze
To make me off pain so complete??!!
Oct 2020 · 113
Ordinary
An ordinary soul
Neither was  nor I'm
With my own  imperfections
Mine alone perfections...
Emotions sometimes freeze me
And at times anger fumes  too
No bodies I love
But the souls in them I  care
Crying and laughing not unknown to me
Though keeping a smile ever seem toughest..
As gentle a mind of flowery petals
Ocassionally becoming a rocky brick...
I'm ...what my mind...is
In  and out  no different...!!
Ordinary....Extra ..... ordinary!!
Oct 2020 · 85
Little happiness for me..
Roots of my dreams
Dried up
And my wings been chopped
Why did I allow it be done?

Shouldn't I have  stood up
Watered, nurtured my dreams to grow
And let it fly in the unlimited Sky!!

Trying to make loved ones happy
Has cost me , my happiness
For the sacrifices I did on my own
Made them happy....
But where's my happiness??

Time is up...I realise
To make me happy
And live my life
And here you have come
As messenger
From father in heaven....
To show me that heaven on Earth!!

I believe....now its my time
My life...I need to live!!

Blush
Setting sun at west end
Splashed on me the colours
Of orange and red...
Did the sun know
I was blushing  without colours ?
In the thought of my midnight moon!!
Oct 2020 · 109
faded ...
Through  paths i walked
fragrant flowers of love
That coloured my dreams
Had always surprised me!

But  now i walk
on the lonely way
With dried up leaves
And flowers  of love
Withered.....
bringing in me
The pain deep hiden...
Of memories of past walk !

Colours and Scents of love
And the scenes on my path
Has faded......
Where am I heading to
All alone.....with silence
Alive everywhere!
