Broken

Wandering into an abyss So empty and dark, Shadows go invisible Every step leaves a mark In the heart, On the mind, Making the vision A little blind. Words unspoken Or those spoken... Haven't ever been So loud and clear; And into a million tiny, Tiny decibels, broken. Syllables, each one Equally brutal Shattered, like … Continue reading Broken →

The Cute Guy, Superman and Me!

I was returning back home to Bombay after a business trip to Hyderabad. Window seats on night flights fascinate me. Hence, I'd asked for one on this particular flight as well. Once on the flight, I settled down in my seat and got back to the book I was reading โ€“ Breathless in Bombay. It … Continue reading The Cute Guy, Superman and Me! →

Roses are Red; Violets are Blue

This composition of mine is in response to another poem by a dear friend (mentioned below). I gazed into the forbidden abyss with mesmerized eyes And discovered true bliss like on a mountain-peak at sunrise... The roses bloom, the clouds evanesce away Everything seems new; and yet again, love's on its way... Yes, I'm smiling; … Continue reading Roses are Red; Violets are Blue →

It's been a while... I've spoken From the heart Made life worthwhile; As life moves on And time flies by Present becomes the past And disappears like a firefly. I look back Reflect on shadows of the past, Sentiments On my heart An eclipse they cast. I run, at times, I fall I hide and … Continue reading Reflections & Shadows →

Lash-Out

I've had enough; I can't take it 'nymore It's all over; nothin' ain't like before The meteoric magnificence; Those dreams with happiness galore I stand here by the river; my eyes now sore My mind imprinted with angry thoughts Traded for all the happy ones my heart once bought Emotions build up inside me bubbling … Continue reading Lash-Out →

Prisoner of the Heart

I knew love was for real and its magic was trueWhen for the first time I met you! You captured my heart and its every beat, Making me long for us to meet. Overpowering feelings and emotions from which I try to part... Unsuccessful; I am now a prisoner of the heart. I lose control … Continue reading Prisoner of the Heart →

Gone

I stare out the window, point-blank, at the night sky, What a perfect night! Stars twinkling, not a cloud in sight. Memories of my dear ones flood my mind and make me cry. It seems so inconceivable; they're no more, They're not returning after the night. What lies beyond the sky, beyond its endless horizon … Continue reading Gone →
