Trust In Silence
Trust delves and dives deep into the sea of silence
To be enriched by the hidden treasures of another heart
Not found in the shallow depth of
words of many

Shikara Dreams
Confetti and streamers
The music played by the universe
Oh so free
Never heard, deeply felt
Slow on the breeze in a second to freeze
Distant temple sounds of conches
Sacred Chants
Little bells jingle mid air
No strings simply free
Of mossy trails
Snow stilled lakes
Vast expanse
Not one soul to dance
Free untouched
No trails to follow
Nor to leave
Magically written
And erased on the glassy slate
Never seen yet closely known
The trees of ancient world
The bark thick and strong
A house to dream
Ten storied tall, lasts long
A place so cool, full of warmth
Of the cashmere shawl
Paisley embroidered wrap around
In colours of the valley flowers
Shikara dreams
Written 10th of August,
2:45 am
Unedited thoughts

Known Stranger
Death of unknown
Known stranger
Why does it bring sadness
Known through sight
You never met
Never would have

To reconcile with the fact

Was it the aura
Was it the soul
What was and will remain
The essence of it
What mattered as a whole
Rains you ought to take a break
Raining havoc
The last few days
The dams and rivers all swollen
Low lying area exposed, unsafe
Mistaken city and state
This is not Cherrapunji
Well that’s the place where you are busy raining and must through the year
Don’t overshadow the sun
Let it shine in its place
It’s been days and we need the sun
The birds hidden
They don’t chirp and fly
As much as they usually do
Oh come on rain take a break
Hindrance you caused to work and play
Schools closed
Delayed examination
I know we have prayed for you
And now ask you to leave
Have we been the cause of all of this
Yeah the answers we know and still seek
Still I humbly pray
Please oh please
Rain take a break
Cherrapunji- receives the highest rainfall!

Friendship
People in my heart
Never have to jostle for space
Friends take the special place
All the suites reserved
Yet there are rooms enough
The doors ajar-open
The last door is infinity
Friends take a special place in the heart!

The View
Scenic hills
Green and gold cover of soft grass
Dark Chocolate, thatched roof houses
Serpentine dirt roads
Lined  by trees with flowers pink
Cold and white, the valley fog
Nature and its secrets
Unfold in colours so true

Just Being
Every living being
Plants and animals or the human race
Every single day
Some resistance we face

Freedom is a gift
Not always free
Sometimes sought at a cost
A reward to self

Freedom is in just being
Neither suffering
Nor being the cause of any

Freedom is to live
To breathe and believe
To express your thoughts
A beautiful life is all about that

In Silence Or Words
In silence or words
Neither a seeker
Nor an achiever
A dreamer a believer

Missed an opportunity
Lost that chance
Don’t lose hope, do the turtle dance

Dreams you may have many
It’s okay to not keep up with any
A beautiful one will keep you alive
One more chance, yet another day

Performance is an art
Beautiful in free will
Full of grace

To pressure cave in not
Make mistakes
Laugh it off with others

Life is no race
Every breath,
To be lived at a pace

Rise above your sorrow
Look forward
There shall be a better tomorrow

Be it setbacks or roller coaster falls
Forever be a well wisher of all

It’s ok if your thoughts don’t rhyme
With others
Remember
It’s the power of your thoughts
In silence or words
Be
The dreamer a believer

Just Dance
Dance Dance Dance
              Listen to your inner voice
         Don’t think twice, it’s time to rejoice
       Lose your inhibitions
       Performance enhance

        Dance to the rhythm
Smile and forget the blues
Dance is an art
The passion flows from the heart

Mind body and soul
Fine tuned to the rhythm and beat
Spread the love, warmth and cheer
Sway to the music and just dance

Rain’s on a day’s break
Rain’s on a day’s break
Clear blue sky, sun and shade
Warm sunlight shines through the curtains  sheer blue
Last night’s rain bathed the baby leaves, now gurgle with glee, atop the trees
The pigeons tap dance on the window ledge to the soft sighs of the breeze
It's beautiful when the rain’s on a day’s break

What’s in a name
What if you don’t have one
How does one address you
How do you know it’s you
Who’s being addressed in crowd
What’s in a name
Without one
Think about that

The tall mountains, never alone
Puffy clouds and placid lake
Whistling birds in the trees
Bustling village

To Balance
I tend to forgive easily
But not forget
Internalise, future safe

Insecure people
Believe it or not
Make me shiver in my shell
Sounds like written gossip
But all true

Lost my inhibitions today
One day
Boldly I will say

Quick witted not
Dim witted neither
Absence and presence
A balance

A promise to my thoughts
Will set them free
Words allured me for long
My thoughts, it’s here they belong

Emotions on display

Rains of comfort, calm and peace

A little fun in the rain
Upturned umbrellas
Wind and rain
Missing raincoats
Take shelter and walk again

Scooting off through puddles
Splashing water on fellow motorists
Why should little kids have all the fun

Slippery mossy tiles
Earthworms, friends of the farmer
Not mine, touched them once
Never again, yikes

Heading back home
Yes it’s fun getting wet in the rain
Being a child again

Learnings
Your are neither my sister nor my friend
You can’t be any
Trusted you, like a fool, and you used my heart as a tool
Never mind, can’t deny, it is one

Thanks it’s a two way story
The very tool, weak it maybe as a wrench
Yet a powerful bench
Can take the weight of a thousand forty elephants

Thanks for all the experience
You sure do know to give that
Faking it all as love
Fool no more, lessons they came slow
Learnings this time fast
And sure will make it last

So you see, you’re neither a sister nor a friend, just another teacher and that’s the end
Variety is the spice of life
Teachers we get at the roll of the dice

Sorry, not  very positive thoughts, yet learnings yes !

The Nectar of Life
The eyes wander in search of knowledge
As the butterfly flutters between flowers in search of sweetest nectar
Skipping the pitcher flowers
And the spider’s ornate dew soaked webs

The tongue and the heart
Enriched by the nectar
Know no thirst, wordless
Meditate, all sated

The mind of all
Knew the taste
The nectar of life
Experiences every day
That come your way

Shaken Trust
Giving in to their pretences
Follow every word they say
Blame the heart
Knows the only way

The heart
Believes and trusts, so rust it must
Lies they give and shelf the truth
That’s their truth, and rust it must

Indian Blackberry
The Indian black berries
Bitter sour, tad bit sweet
Humble fruit
Low in cost
Benefits high
Sold everywhere in the month of June

Bought it off from a vendor off the street
Especially sold these
Segregated in three baskets
Each priced as per the size, way too high from the market price
Quality not compromised

Does life treat you the same
Quality quantity, a few adjectives to name

The Path
Some need to break mountains
to carve a path
Many will take and be led by the well trodden path

The  path laid by life we tread
that leads to self
Maybe finding Nemo on the way

Undefined the destiny
May it lead to the best
Bringing love peace harmony

Every morning on the window sill
Sings its wake up song
Full of hope and possibilities

Rain Story
The rains pour a beautiful story
Dark grey to white and clear
Fills rivers streams and oceans blue
Landscapes brown and valley deep
My heart tunes in to the songs of green
Dew drop pink to pristine white
Many colours and mist on the window
Raindrops dripping down the eaves and leaves
Dark grey to white and clear
A beautiful story comes to an end
Giving rise to golden sunshine again

Tangled afloat
Drowning

bobbing
Dreaming

Not feeling the heart
Beats without a beat
Sinking

The spoken never a first choice
Written
Words lose the game
All good!
Had it not been for this place I would have never written anything beyond the first few times that I must have penned my thoughts.
Sharing my thoughts here has been a boon to me. Thank you all for reading and understanding

Reason
Would I have ever written
If always surrounded by the people I grew up with, my folks
They are a reason for my happiness and strength
Being with family and forgetting the rest
Life is great, in my Happy nest
But, it brings you reasons and its own tests
So I write, forgetting the rest
Thoughts to myself
Don’t feel like writing
Can’t write
Bridging the gap
A fight

Thank you dear all!

Squirrel and the Bird
The little squirrel enjoyed its nutty meal
Happy it squealed
The preying bird perched high in the tree
Happy, enjoyed its meal
As the squirrel squealed its last

Feathered Steps
You came to me
Feathered steps
I turned away my eye
Ignorant being
To Ignore you, I never meant to
Busy, routine, you see
You wouldn’t, as you left, the same
Feathered steps
Why do you visit only once
And visitors you’d allow, almost none
Please answer
.

Dear thought :)
Just
A
Thought
Oh yes, the elusive thought missed the words

The Moments
The seven year old twins of my friend,
A boy and a girl
On a visit to their Aunt’s place in South Goa
The village scenic and beautiful
The roads covered in dust from the red soil
Lined by Cashew and mango trees
The children at their Aunt’s countryside villa, happy, stood at the gate
A beautiful moment captured in the lens,
by their mother
The two with looking eyes searching for playmates their age
A moment so precious to be savoured for long

Never A Loss
Loud mouths and talks
Give me a headache
The mind in a lock
In an open room, blocked

In my seat I squirm
Wish I could wiggle out like a worm
Heart beats go boom
Wish I could teleport out of the room

No app on the phone
Which says
Skip escape delete
Walk out straight
Neither an option
Now it’s too late

Worse still,
The tormentor doesn’t know, of being one
The crazy mind blinks and thinks
Search database, use unwanted words
just like this extra verse

To be cruel is not an option
In my head there’s always enough room
To be physically present and mentally lost
To be at peace and find solace
Never A Loss

Butterfly Blooms
Redolent flowers

Millions of butterflies hung

Golden yellow blooms
Amaltas (Hindi) - *******/ Indian laburnum/ Cassia Fistula tree

These flowers( *******) are in full bloom in the month of May. The blooms, mildly fragrant, droop down and to me they look like yellow butterflies.

Is that all
The Moments
Happy and sad
Always the norm
Upheavals
Losing a loved one
Bonding in pain
Resilience in the storm
Togetherness reborn
Wordless moments
Speechless times

Happier, to the years lost

Choices
Negativity is a bane
Don’t feed it your pain
It will grow manifold
And leave not a trace
******* you into its vile vines

The goodness in you, a boon
Revitalise the seeds
Nurture well, and see them flourish
To be cherished on a sunny day
Or a chilly winter’s night
Just some thoughts

Nature
The sunbeams held the trees in a big embrace
The little plants and shrubs held hands
And smiled with grace
The sun set its focus on the mountains and the valleys
The river water flows through the rock crevices, a spray of mist, made a rainbow in sunshine
The clouds float over the mountains, one silken veil of white
The Sunlit valley, the tall mountains and the beautiful landscape, the rains keep them all spotlessly green
Inspired by ‘Chalay Thay Saath’ a movie I watched on Netflix

The Elusive Bird
The sun, handsome in a blazing golden striped suit
The birds and busy bees sip on the nectar from the colourful flowers
The trees sway to the sweet song of the breeze
The Koel happy and gay, sings its sweet song in May
But,
My eyes wait for a glimpse of the elusive bird
Know not its form or feathers, hidden in the trees
Sings a rhythmic sweet song from dawn to dusk
Have recorded the voice of this bird, starts as early as 5 in the morning, also,  can be heard singing past sunset :)

Happiness Wings
There is a reason
Yet no rhyme to it
Life brings twists and turns
Some right and a few wrong
Happiness in life sometimes bought
Fragile the wings
Guarantee period, it promises not
Fragile and tender, the wings held dear
Fly you can...maybe not
Dance out your heart and make the memories last

Hurtful Truth
Blurt out the truth
Left out of the crowd

Politically incorrect
Amend you must

The truth people speak to have each other’s back
And what they speak behind the back

Doesn’t the conscience get hurt
Or, that’s the only truth it knows

A manicured lie chips away
The spirit of truth cleanses the way
Truth knows no bounds, it is bond free
Just an expression of some thoughts!

Morning Star
The sun sits pretty, cradled in the palms of the clouds
Kissed goodnight to the moon and stars
Birds bathe in the seamless beams on the treetops
And do Sun salutations to the morning star

Just about Nothing
There is nothing
That everything can’t be found from
Nothing to you, could be the world to someone
Nothing and Something maybe they are related
Maybe in turn to everything
Nothing is not alone in the world
Even the dictionary has something to say about nothing :)

Scary laugh lines
Hide the pain
The eyes wide open, heavy
Wanting to rain the darkness
To see the light within
Withheld to masquerade
The dark side of life
One master stroke
To finish the piece
When the artist and the portrait
Merge in one
Some works of art
Fill you with both, fear and sadness
Touches your core!!

What’s Lost
Time lost
Never regained
Thoughts lost
The essence
No words can retain

Health is wealth
Powerless bench
No reason to rhyme

Time will seal all, with a word called heal
