Floating in the air, They come near me, Telling a different story Of a faraway land. Showing off their colours, They come near me, Telling of how a myriad Can live together. Filling me with awe, They come near me, Telling something beautiful In a simple tongue. These are soap bubbles, Nothing more. Yet they [...]

Falling Leaves
They fell quietly, Without letting anyone know. They fell ardently, Like it was the right thing to do. Their time was up, That they knew. There was no point holding on. So why leave behind a few? They carpeted the ground That they used to stare down at. Touched it with a light bounce, The [...]
If I Could Fly
If I could fly, I would fly high, Way beyond the clouds, In big, beautiful rounds. I would cover every land, Both of water and sand. I would feel the wind in my face, As I flew around with grace. But no matter where I go, If you ever need me so, I will fly [...]
Lump in the Throat
What is that lump in the throat? That feeling of muscle contraction, Which leaves us a little breathless? It is that subdued yearning. That feeling which has been repressed. All those words left unspoken. How nice it would be To get done with them, To get over the lump.

The water's tranquillity, When given the wings of wind, Makes out of it Something unimagined, Shapes something like the risen sea. Its power, Which once lay quiet, Comes out as Something unimagined, Shapes something like the risen sea.

One thick swipe of lipstick Hides my drooping lips. But it doesn't erase the sadness. One thick layer of this and that Only [...]
Butterflies
Flapping their wings, Noiselessly gliding, I see them. Dropping a tinge of colour In a monotone concrete-scape, I see them. Spreading a magic Of smiles around, I see them. Telling of what could come Out of a cocoon, I see them. Knowing they see me, Just like I see them, I see the butterflies.
Will Never Fall in Love Again
"She was the one!" he cried. "Honey, the important words here are not "the one" but "was". She's gone," his friend spoke with an air of wisdom. "I'll never fall in love again. Never..." he sniffed. Two years later, he found his "the one" again. Just that it was a different girl this time and [...]
Is God There?
Is there someone Who can make everything better, When all seems to fall apart, When there is no hope? Is there someone Who can punish the wrong, Reward the righteous, To set the scales of justice? Is there someone Who can help bring a smile On the faces of many Worn by worry? Is there [...]
