Tangled web that I wove When to the extremes I drove To make the world dance to my tune- That web is going to chain me soon… Fueled by unbridled ambition Trying to get every dream to fruition Never stopping to look or care Those around me could not dare To show me a mirror ofContinue reading “Tangled web of ambition”

Woman
Moments of life trickled away Pleasing the world around her Friends and family had their say While she was a silent spectator. Suppressing her heart’s inner desire, She walked on a balance-beam Set by others, so they could admire Her virtue, while she smothered her dreams. She did her best to conform To the narrow confines theyContinue reading “Woman”
Repentance
“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.” ― Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate I was angry, I was rude I hurled some scathing comments; Now I am left alone to brood My soul, now guilt torments.. Hurtful words escaped my lips BeforeContinue reading “Repentance”
Doors
Doors I find on my way Some closed, some open half-way I have no inkling where they lead There are no signs that I can read Some that do open with love Others need a gentle shove Some that lead to pastures green Others hide horrors obscene. Walking down life’s path alone Many tempting doors I am shown.. Curious to peer aheadContinue reading “Doors”

Share Your World – 2015 Week #3
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? I would want Agatha Christie as a dinner guest (taking the liberty of including people no longer in this world) and ask her how she became a mystery writer. I have admired her deep understanding of the human nature andContinue reading “Share Your World – 2015 Week #3”
Silence and speech
http://redrinart.deviantart.com/art/Silenced-by-Fear-315005152 Silence may be golden And silver, speech could be Yet we’ve all seen frozen Silence, reeking of hostility Silence, out of misgiving born Silence of anger burning within, Seething, leaving innards torn, Silence that feels like an unspoken sin. Fear that chokes speech into silence, Sealed lips that have been witness To horrific, heinous violenceContinue reading “Silence and speech”
Past, future and present
The distinction between the past, present and future is nothing but a stubbornly persistent illusion. -Albert Einstein Why is it The more things change The more they get Close to the old in their range.. Maybe it’s true That the past Holds the clue To the unknown, vast Future; unseen Except in imagination, In promisingContinue reading “Past, future and present”
Reflection
The world reflected In waters pristine Nature perfected This landscape serene. A place for reflection Of my reckless deeds Quiet introspection Into my soul’s needs.

Resilience
Heart broken, Hopes trashed Fate laughing At you, unabashed All your dreams Lying shattered Everything that To you mattered Lost in abyss Never to be found Vast stretches of Emptiness all around. In this landscape Bleak, dismal Future appears Dark, abysmal. *** Slowly, stealthily Darkness gives way Almost imperceptibly Creeps up the day A dayContinue reading “Resilience”
Equal and different
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Martin Luther King Jr. Equal born, equal in death Why on the earth then do we fret About our differences whileContinue reading “Equal and different”
