The New Habitat

The scent of a new place, Lingering around for long, Communicating with the unseen, It lets you come along. The brain is all fizzy, With the "new house" syndrome, In unknown surroundings, You want to feel at home. A distant train horn sounds, And you expect new arrivals, As family and friends gathers, To give...

The Only Way

Don't hold on but do let go, Only ones that stay will grow, Honest and frank not the deal today, Why is it misunderstood every way? Careless of one's feelings, They mind their own beings, Is it the world's way now? Shouldn't it be disallowed? Feeling perplexed, are you? But this is not new, Survival...

SoCS – A Rainy Day

For Linda G.Hill's SoCS prompt, A rainy day - Washing off the negativity, making way for the good.

Last Fifteen Days

The chaos has come to rest, As the year comes to an end, With trials and tribulations, And changes like never before. Passing the last fifteen days, Hopeful of the time to come, Desiring better days, Indeed worthy of much more. Hard times will pass, As happiness claims seat, Inviting the new, Replacing the painful...

Sunday Poser #58 – Appearances

For Sadje's "How much thought you give to your appearance?" A dash of kajal and lip gloss, And I am all set to go, My expression not so cross, Going with the flow. Teaming up my blue jeans, With one of the many tops, Wanting to be my own queen, I don't like flip flops....

Unplanned Escape

Sensing the upcoming mayhem, I just stood still, Trying to make sense of them, Couldn't leave the place at will. Briskly walking towards me, The girl with blue eyes, Looking for a partner to flee, A decision most unwise. Voices rising in a chorus, In a tightly packed hall, She looked for an escape, Standing...

A PostCard

The picturesque photograph, Held in his hand for long, Should he tear it in half, But for the cryptic message on the back. A postcard on the doorstep, Scrummed in a large package, With his favourite jacket, A reminder of the lost times. Fingers twitching anxiously, He opened the envelope, One look at the picture,...

Breathing Interval

A customary visit every year, An offline break in this social world, Refresh the thoughts like never before, A disconnected place for peace & tranquility. Focused on the present and now, A must refuel this time of the year, To move away from the ungainly things, And the insecurities felt so long. Clearer thoughts in...

Concealed Feelings

I see her everyday, Passing me in the corridor, Trying to catch her eye, My heartbeat quickens. Sharing a few glances, She knows who I am, I wonder what she thinks, About her nerdy neighbour. Her thoughts fill my whole day, Having imaginary conversations, I wish I had the grit, To give words to my...

My Favourite Four Feet

A welcome present, Everyday, Coming back to her, My very own cavalier. Playful and loving, She waits patiently, With a forever place for me, In her kind heart. She senses my happiness, And my disappoinment, Meeting my eyes, And understanding the silence. My wake up alarm, My whole world, Coalesced my broken pieces, To a...
