Quietly Still

 Quietly still Eerily still Calmly lie Aspirations nil Prospects dry! Tiny seed Dreamt so high Blossoming bud Now , a sigh! How and what When and why? Questions, questions  Tears and cry! Fragile, slim Bleak and wry Life- uncertain Cheat - a sly!!

Grain of White

Grain of white Grain of white, So pure, so bright Couldn’t stop myself, Dazzled by the light Serene , calm and so quiet, Woke up after ages  to see such a sight! Birds praying, Squirrels in dismay Oh! How long has it gone To bless this way! I tasted the blessing What a thrill! Not once ,  but tasted twice I wish to be there Oh! What a price’ Memories cascaded As a stream of thought,  Days of childhood  I just - bought! Days of childhood  I just bought!!

Shortest live affair

  Shortest live affair How cruel! How rude! Here you were You so shrewd!! Should have stayed Branches swayed Birds could have  bathed Kids could have played! Why did you disappear? No warning , didn’t even hear? Hark! You must be here, I am so mad, I swear!! Okay, tell me  When will I see you again Next week, weekend  Or after the rain? Please, I beg Will be good and nice Come with full aplomb Will keep you at all price!
  I travel to the far off land I travel to the far off land Where my pining heart lies Listen to birds that sing And soar in the skies Winter, spring, summer or autumn  Where the mornings are fresh The days are beautiful  And life in no rush Sun -that basks in its full glory Where the skies are so blue; Flowers, trees colourful And clouds too sorry! I travel to that land of dreams Where everything thrives No burden, no worries  And all happy vibes! Sent from my iPhone
  Himachal Nestled deep down in my mind's eye Dewy mornings, pleasant whiff And bright blue sky Greeting glorious sun Seven hills so bright, Bathing and basking magnificent light what a sight! Sparrows, teeter, crows Running errands high n lows Pecking -picking their day’s delight Feeding each other with a flight Deep down further I explore more Hear Chiming bells from the temple galore Far-reaching views behold Lasting love and joy untold Dawn- it is a new start! New dreams- aspirations at heart! Here deep down in my heart Lies this treasure to just ever last! And when I feel a bit- sway, I savour this dream n shun all worries away!
