Bonding
Stood below a banyan tree in the vicinity
On a cloudy night where lightning flickered
I envisaged the lighting across the street
Adorned to welcome the festival of light
And the wail of the newborn shrilled the air.
The roots set to bond deep
Through tap roots and prop roots
Offering to nourish and nurture
Nature leads and instincts act
And a mother is born.

Inquisitive
Inquisitive eyes searched
Listening to the roaring waves;
The unheard voices….
A celebration on a cold night
Friends, food and fun;
The renewed ties….
Caught us unaware
The warmth of the land suddenly strained;
The fury unleashed….
The sand and the weeds mysteriously disappeared
And the sea returned to claim its property;
The enigmatic space….
The wanderer in us turned pensive
Wading through the water;
A lifetime’s promise….
Mighty
The ink simply refused to flow,
When I picked up
My favourite Hero,
A Chinese make.
Black body with a golden cap
That faded with time
Yet reminding stood
The many exams battled –
And conquered smoothly;
The speed maintained
By my fingers holding gently
The thing of past now.
With no ink around
Water came to its rescue;
The nib reacted with a jerk or two –
Splashed a few drops
When pressed on to the paper;
A little scratch, then light and bright
“Life” it entered with a clear “if”.
The mighty hero a fighter till date
Refused to let go its valour
My pen, my companion.
