Standing attendants of your worries to sweep them away with the cool shade,
Bearing leaves, hope of new life, seeding hope for the future, of service they're made.

I venture into
The adventure
Only to come out
With a denture
Which I call
Experience~ time's
Kind gesture.

-

The crested delights of silent love
The meeting eyes of a solitary reaper
The hazy gaze of a nonchalant flower
The merry mania of the swaying waves,
The allure of a moment on books,
The petrichor of a heart after a drizzle,
The outpour of innocence that shines
The pearls of wisdom that mould me, I realise.
After an age of look ups, link ups, laughs
And breaking stones,
I love the patience
In which I discover,
We've been in dalliance with so many things
To fill us up from so long.

-

Often they land
On my nose,
My skin touches
Them and shivers,
Once I'd been the moth
And went near the flame.
The moments of delight
Had just another
Butterfly eavesdropping.
From the window side,
On the wall where a
Butterfly was drawn,
I knew not one who
Lands there flies off
In liberation.

अपनेपन की आहट है,
ख़ुद से बातचीत तो
यहीं होती है।

-

I can find a thousand ways
To please others.
They're papers.
But how do I please
myself?
I'm the pen.

-

Stay on, dear soul.
Just wait and watch
with the time and tide.
See the magic as you
Embrace a change in comfort.

-

I hold a rosary in my poems
And still hope
The rosemary in your
Jars never wilts more
Than my wishes.
There's no spice left
And all I want are herbs
To grow on the barren land.

-

The roadmap of determination,
The roller of hardwork,
The guiding light of blessings,
The dish of optimism,
Makes up the recipe of success.
