Waiting.
Thoughts not restrained
I meant to say
Words weighed…
Absolutely meant
To say heartfelt
Words weighed…
Caught unexpected
Paused by minutes
Words weighed…
I meant to say
Thoughts not restrained
Waiting.

The Quest Within
The quest within
Continued; never willing to satiate.
Sublime my world;
Reassured my Self, honestly.
The many unspoken words
Permeated deep within;
Extinct became peripheral malady.
My soul purged
With hope, love, courage and perseverance,
Meandered into the dark:
Labyrinth gave way to light
And the quest within
Continued as the sole truth in my life.
Visitor
A sparrow flew into my room
Chose to sit on top of the piled up books
Nothing seemed to bother it
My presence or the clatter of the keyboard;
A very rare sight indeed
Especially with its depleting population
Competing to win the survival race
The cute birdie was a struggler in the city;
With a good intention to welcome my guest
I crumbled the biscuit in my hand
But guess the undue attention paid was not well received
And it flew away, a stranger.

Another Chance
She sank into depths
For she knew not what the prophesy held.
She wailed in anguish
That cut through the shallow indentation.
She submerged her dismay
And floated astride the carcass of self.
Not knowing what it said;
Whispers she heard but couldn’t decipher….
Yet her valour conquered the fears
And recoiled her strength to trust life.
Variety is the Spice of Life
