It rained
And rained like cats and dogs
It rained incessantly
But only on me

Cloud followed me
Everywhere and
Drenched me like anything
For he was so furious , I could see

All were dry
And enjoying the sun in cold
I was wet
And questioning him reasons untold

I ran quickly to a bus stop shed
And he followed there
I ran in to a restaurant
And he squeezed in to fit

I ran to my home
And locked the door
He found his way in
Through the window slit

Finally, I gave up
And decided to deal the case

Sternly I asked "whats the matter why are you flooding me like sea"
He said, I had ignored him once when he was in love with me.

Ghughuti,the bird has come
Flying all across the hills
Far away from my land
She bought with her the blessings
Of my mother,for me to return

Ghughuti what you got for me
She said" your wife's tears
As she could hardly speak"
Tell me Ghughuti
How are my children
"Your children are very proud of you, they know that you are doing this for the country"

When you go back
Tell them that I'll come back soon
I miss them but duty comes first
My nation needs me and I must serve

Tell my land and the river
Watch for me, till I return
I owe a lot to you too
But first , let me finish this bigger mission

There is a thousand way
They can show their love,
Getting up before you,
And baking-
Every dish dripping
In your favorite flavor.

There is a thousand way
They will let you know
You are not alone
27 missed calls,
Breathing properly only
When they see you at the front porch

There is a thousand way
To let you know,
How you are the family
They have
And the family they want

There is a thousand way to know,
You have made a place in his heart,
A message at dawn,
Asking if you are alright,
He will go to any length
To protect you.

But you tend,
Not to see
Love in these little thing,
You want grand gestures
Poems written about
The knots in your hair


And some may
Do exactly that
But that does not mean
Their love is superior
To the love that is only spoken
Between two hearts

Yes,
There is a thousand way to show love,
You only have to notice,
And not be blinded by your expectations
To feel them all.

Black sea vast
And the twinkling stars 
luminant moon from far
Witnessed our love for hours 

Not a word was spoken 
Silently we sat together
Hand in hand
Gazing the sky in the comfort of each other 

Melting in the glaze of your eye
Light breeze caress our heart 
My love
Stay with me 
Until the death do us apart

A pencil has power
but more so does a pen
Over the sword and the arrow
it's my choice to defend

Her stilettos stomp the concrete
Her eyes shine so bright
She's ready once again
She's is a lover of the night

As Lou Reed plays her hips swing
While holding her purse so tight
But she's not afraid of a single thing
She is a lover of the night

Pink lipstick stains on Marlboro cigarettes
She breathes in her Light
And lets the smoke out into the air
She is a lover of the night

Her red dress is her favorite
It shapes her body just right
No one would ever dare to believe
He is a lover of the night

Art
is like worshiping god
With the purest of intention
Of surrendering to master
Pouring the love in the form of art as a mark of devotion
Art is melting oneself to the mould of the form
Lifting the soul to reach beyond the worldy consideration

Art is beauty in the eyes of the artist
It is love beyond comparison
It is promise unbreakable
It is the faith and believe of one's existence

No rewards and recognitions matter
When it's deeply pursued from heart
Love and devotion feeds the soul
When cherised in the form of art
