Frost
Frost the harbinger Of a cold, snowy winter, Forming icicles in the grass, Abstract patterns on the glass. Frost the precursor Of warm and sunny spring With promise of a long summer And cherry blossoms flowering.
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”
Change
Be the change you wish to see in the world- Gandhi Caught in the drudgery of an insipid life Residents shuffling their unwilling feet Their days devoid of love, or strife Nothing to keep their mood upbeat.. Dull, colorless days with air thick and stale Uninspiring landscape, completely bare Where a ripple, before spreading would fail InContinue reading “Change”
The virtue of patience
Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on what we are waiting for… -Charles Stanley All her wishes, wants and desires She wanted at once fulfilled..

Best form of expression
Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. Allen Ginsberg I started this blog to share my views on pretty much anything and everything that I like. While it was easy enough to write aboutContinue reading “Best form of expression”
Fly high, above mediocrity
Square pegs in round holes Trying to fit in preformed molds Bowing to all societal pressures Forgetting all individual measures.. Slaughtering all creative drive Conforming to every rule, they strive Internalizing all frustration Simmering inside like ammunition Living a life of discontentment Harboring subtle resentment Through their lives they trudge Eventually unable to budge From the moldContinue reading “Fly high, above mediocrity”
Break-up and make-up
Unmet desire Broken expectations Burning like a fire Raging sensations Promises, scattered Vows all lost Animosity unfettered. Silence, like frost Hanging in the air Threatening to explode And lay bruised hearts bare On a lonely road. The road that they had Once traveled together The passion that they had Once shared with each other NowContinue reading “Break-up and make-up”
