Inspired by a real life elopement causing a rift in the family Once upon a time there lived a beautiful girl Her eyes enclosing a shiny black pearl Long golden tresses in a wonderful swirl Her father doted on her dearly Cute eyelashes look longingly And her whims satisfied instantly Time passed, and a beautiful woman she became Into her life, a handsome man came The black pearl setting his heart aflame But her father…

The gush
My feelings during the run today morning. Lovely run today morning Perfect that I was longing That it would never stop With mood right on top. And it then happened- Words emanating from the mind Like tiny snakes slithering Wrapping, cuddling, caressing you Words connect forming phrases The tiny creatures merging Slowly tightening the embrace Forcing the legs to stop And poetry gushes from the head.

“Happiness is internal calm, not just external boisterousness” Celebrate the end of a yearCelebrate the beginning of a new one Why limit it to just a dayWhen you can celebrate every day Cherish the finish every nightNourish the start every dawn The magic is in the middleNot at start or endIn a flow all daySoul bathed in a warm glow Life is a celebrationLive it every moment

Time (or Reversal of time)
When I was young time was twenty four All hours active, life very festive Studies sometimes odious, games never tedious Friends, food and fun, not enough time under the sun Now that I am older, it seems to be forty two Why so, I have no clue Lot more to juggle- Family, work, friends and community Cannot wiggle, all accomplished with certainty When I was young Time seemed be shrinking Becoming scarce everyday Making my…
Year end
The winter chill, marks the end of year The tree naked, a beautiful silhouette The festive season, brings lot of cheer The purple flowers in a delicate pirouette
