Nickname

Labels: - Tuesday, April 07, 2009

Shall I call you the moon my dear?
But the moon has spots and it comes in the night
You are the flower of the day, dancing in the light!

Shall I call you the sun then ?
But the sun in the noon , scorches too much.
And you have such an soothing touch!

Let me call you the brightest flower
Nay, the softest shower!
But the flower withers and the rain dithers!
Can't call you that !

Shall I then use the choicest words to coin you a name
Munchkin, pumpkin, truffle, ruffles..
Ah so many to claim!
And yet none fit the bill

So here I am , searching for one still!

Charmed - Cinquain

Labels: - Monday, April 06, 2009

Flying high
Looking below
A fluid panorama
Awaits my fearful heart and I gaze;
Charmed!

I am...

Labels: - Sunday, April 05, 2009


















I am the river that flows through your veins,
I am the air you breathe that keeps you alive.
I am the sun that shines in the sky,
I am the moon that shies behind the cloud
I am the tree, I am the shroud,
I run deep, I run shallow,
I am the food that you swallow!
I am the beginning, I am the end
I am the calm , I am the storm
I am the surge and it's swell
I am the planets and the stars as well.
I am pleasure, I am pain
I destroy, I mend,
I collect, I drain
I persevere, I dread
I am the color red.
I am the flood.
I am the blood.
I am just that. I am.
I exist.

A sijo

Labels: - Saturday, April 04, 2009



















Like the paint, peeling off the unopened, long forgotten door
Strained, my nerve endings are aquiver and my fragile heart quite sore,
Waiting for the one who dwelled there for long and doesn't want to any more!

I met three tears yesterday

Labels: - Friday, April 03, 2009














I met three tears today,
To hold them at bay
I struggled so much;
Yet they sneaked through anyway

One 
   Trickled down 
       her cheek  so pale
     
Lost,
In the welcoming folds 
Of my careworn saree

The next 
    found its way 
         To her quivering lip
  
A dew,
On a tender flower-tip,
I gently kissed it away

And the third, 
    didn't dare leave 
       The  safety of her doe-eyed lids

Glistening,
Like a diamond in the light.
I clutched her to me really tight!

Ah I met three tears today
A rain, a dew and a diamond
They did what words couldn't do.
Bound us in an unwavering bond....

Guilty Conscience - The big boss :P :P

Labels: , - Thursday, April 02, 2009













I am the keyhole.
I,
Discern your innermost secrets
Peek through your defences.
Delve into the unexplored recesses
Surreptitiously...

I am the walls that run through your house
I,
Hear every word spoken
Observe your every move
Nothing escapes me.
I spy.


I am your shadow,
I,
Creep through the things
Fly without the wings
Like the nebulous mist
I sneak.

I am your conscience!
I,
Lurk below your carpets
hide behind the drapes
Buried in the closet,
I prick.


Solitaire

Labels: , - Wednesday, April 01, 2009


















A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.
Glittering through  life,
Me, no one can ignore.
When I talk, when I smile
Many a heart beat stop awhile.
A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.

Solitaire. Solitary. Alone.
When required, 
I can rip  apart your bones.
Hard as nails. Cold as stone.
A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.

Ornamental at his arms,
Dancing at a snap of his fingers
I seduce with  many charms.
Behind me envy lingers,
A collector's item I am.
A solitaire diamond thats what I am.
