There was
the whooping cough,
along the sore throat
and;
nose-blocked breathe.

There was
left, little
hunger and thirst
along;
paining limbs
and get to
sleepless nights.

There
he lay,
eighty six year old;
bedridden
cancer patient.

There is
a thought,
to live more...

NEAR THE CORNER

The seat was dusty,
with scratches of living
crushed stones were layered,
on the untrodden area.

Whiff of the cardomom
was pleasing the air,
Clanking of glasses
were euphonious in there.

There ,
somewhere near the corner
The teastall was itself the place;
where the silence ,
was so loud......

The hustle bustle is
gushing to and fro,
the wheels are screeching more
and more,
The walls are howling sore
and sore,
Hey! Can I be heard?
Am I breathing?

Doctor! Nurse!
Gotta a sec?
Please come here,
I am scared... enough scared.
Am I breathing too low?
Or not?
Look! Don't call my near and dear,
they would be shattered
into the moments of life.
Hey! Can I be heard?
Am I breathing ?
Doctor! Nurse!
Gotta a sec?
Please come here,
I am dead ....enough dead.
Look! The lingering aroma of mine,
The mumbled cries into
tomorrow's dew,
Would not be wiped with
Mumma's hanky...
Hey ! Can I heard?
Am I breathing?

THIS HOLI

The call for home, came. With the journey; quiet all along the way, tucked in with dignity and valour, she was wrapped up in deadly peace.
This Holi, she came home but he missed the chance to smear Gulaal on her forehead.

The way a
book opens
and echoes
melancholy characters
into unkempt words
for cascade emotions.

-

The gurgling of water, hued rhythm of my heart.

-

conquer those longing eyes, grumbling stomach and few weeks of hunger.

-

The world echoed it's amazing rhythms, hardly anyone listened hollow voice of listless bombarded city......

-

Some had tinsels, few had ornaments ,many had Christmas tree ...rare just had a glimpse to capture the glitter of Christmas. The night was cold and glittery glass jars were there ...just for some warmth , a Santa required .
