ROUND TABLE

Cherry picking makes a conversation seem like an intramural scrimmage ;
Disdainful towards ennui;
The irony isn't lost on why;
the raging issues don't make a hue and cry.

COMMERCIAL HYMN

Visionary or mercenary;
Innovation or leverage;
Access in this domain;
Crying in vain.
The grouse sounds akin to a rap;
Amass gains before calling it a wrap.

"Love is not just a symptom but an entire syndrome;
Apart from this analogy to a malady;
It's when the hues and rays of empathy, vibes,and eccentricities;
Along with earthly intricacies combine;
That's when in true sense the two souls shine".

-pooja Rawal

-

The prison of other's opinions ;
You are the king not amongst minions ;
A one of a kind in billions.
Gems of wisdom from forefathers we may take;
But not the mindless shackles archaic.
An individuality to be celebrated ;
not a personality incarcerated .

"Knocked to the ground ;
You find a home in that ground
Embracing it.
The headwinds seem like sublime hugs ;
Ground dragged from under your feet ;
Drowns you in the cozy womb of earth underneath;
Mother nature coils you in
Rest, heal in out and beneath."

"Mist and fog;
Bitter tea, sweet memories
Paradox abounds ;
In fallen foliage and green shoots alike."

THE ALCHEMY

"Slaying her demons
Gulping venom
Emaciated by bitterness..
A calming presence touched her
Awakening her to a safe world
Back to thriving from survival mode
She blossomed like half of its soul."

-POOJA RAWAL

-

"What if the savagery drowns the caressing;
What if the acumen acutely ,fatally injures the touches once soothing;
What if the phoenix stops owing the ashes;
What if the rhythm,the crescendo tantamount in the final analysis to a graveyard of ambitions turning to phantoms awaiting the new moon of resurrection...."

cloak of mist and sun dust;
balmy ..soaked in the rains of months bygone
Croaking frogs algae clad wood logs
serenading winters
Bidding farewell to summers
Ethereal autumn's flagbearer
Unfolding mystery in scenes austere.

कड़वाहट को चखे बिना;
गफलत से निकल नहीं सकते..
हिसाब है यहा हर कारस्तानी का..
सफाई दिए बिना यहाँ हिरासत से निकल नहीं सकते।
