Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there...

A world so transparently beautiful... 

Somewhere out there

is a beautiful world

where blue horses go galloping

and red elephants roam around

with pride. 

Pleasing evergreens grow

by the side of mesmerizing rivulets

and fragrant breeze blows

in breathtakingly beautiful gardens.

Feathered friends flitting

from branch to branch

sing melodious songs. 

Palatial houses ring with 

peace and tranquility. 

Decors are richly studded

with gemstones and fine carvings. 

Happiness runs in corridors 

wearing the anklets of joy. 

And those who live there

are righteous,

virtuous and conscientious, 

gratified by

the benevolence of Lord Almighty. 

Somewhere out there 

is such a real beautiful world.

Beyond our dreams.

Sunup songs

Birds flutter, greens dance

Beneath the layers,

The glint of love

Love, like shards of glass, 
with inhibitions, broken, 
gleaming in the light.

They...

Before them, a kaleidoscope of memories.
Behind them, a beautiful life,
Between them, their silent connect.
Infinite conversations,
where,
words are rendered meaningless.

Never our will; thine always.

Thee ever our companion!

Thou art our salvation

The chant of thy name,

Faltering beings,

born of dust, to dust we fade.

Thou alone our salvation!

Susurrations of love

The evening hangs on branches.
Dusk. Dust. Quietude.
Rustling of leaves.
Whispers of yesterdays.
Beautiful slideshow.

Long time!
And I yearn to steal,
from the scrapbook of life,
pages, where we had inked
our togetherness.

Forgive me, I hear your voice,
and forget to breathe.
The susurrations of syllables,
leave sultry goosebumps, on my soul.
Still. After all this while. Everytime. Always.

Becoming

I feel like inviting strength and beauty in my life... To be able to look at life and say that I am celebrating it to the fullest..
With these thoughts, I write a tanka with prompt words ashes and cocoon...


From ashes, we rise,
the spark of life, inside us.
Metamorphosis.
Beauty in pain and struggle,
from cocoons to butterflies.

'Tis the season

The flakes of peace blanketing this earth,

and love smoldering in every hearth,

the feast of childhood and warm circle of folks,

melody in songs, laughter and wild jokes,

gifts that say we care,

grace and blessings here,

Lord in our hearts, and a spirit that never grows old,

a coin for charity, joyous traditions replayed and retold.

The glow of happiness, lamps and light.

Never the winter, with such a Christmas bright.

Skindeep

Underneath the silken layers,
sans the make-up and the hair-do,
without the dash of code red lipstick
and perfectly lined eyes,
beyond the glowing radiant skin,
your soul painted in perfection.
So come to me, as you are,
minus all these masks.
You, with all your scars and flaws,
pure, authentic and real,
glowing from somewhere deep inside.
And I shall love you sweetheart,
with all my heart,
for how you are made up.

Essence of Diwali

Exuberance in the air, 
that come what may attitude, 
the warmth, cozy vibes of love, 
heavenly perfume of home, 
little lamps light up fresh hopes, 
this, essence of Diwali.

Lost in the stars

Lying on our backs, 

in summer blankets, 

gazing at the dome of the sky, 

the stars and constellations 

sprayed like fine glittering Mukaish. 

Our silences talk.

The sky lights up 

with the ecstatic dance 

of a shooting star.

Hasty forget-me-not wish.

Quick stay-by-me-always wish.

And then I fall asleep.

Cozily nestled on your arm.

Such perfect Kodak moments.

Test of gold

Broken, they fear death,
not knowing
the power they hold within.
To smile, rather than grimace
in adversity,
that’s the sign of a brave soul.
After all, the beautiful flowers,
bloom in dirt.

Journey of life

The journey of life,
an enthralling combination,
of strength and seduction.
The endless periods of development
before the blooming of flowers.
The spectacular window views,
humbling and glorious
winding ones filled with surprises,
set backs and gifts.
Big rocks to climb,
little ones to trip over and
milestones,
to mark where we have been.
