Lashing at my feet
The sea came to me

Embracing my soul
Washed the sand ashore

Crawling between my toes
The starfish winked

Came a wave

Splashed on my face

Took it all away
The sand, the water and the starfish

Left behind was a pebble
Red, heart-shaped

I looked at the horizon
Saw nothing
Just the sky

But the waves crashed again
Against the shores

Said the sea to me
“I love you”

“The heart is for you
Keep it
Love will happen
Just as the pebble happened”

unrestrained laughter they say
makes you look crazy
but to me
it means i am enjoying that moment
TOTALLY

Piercing eyes
She gazed through me
Said 'i know'
And took my pain away
..... Goddess durga i so much believe in. ... Mother to some but healers to all
He held out his kerchief
Said wipe off your tears
Cuz am sorry
But we are not in

He opened the door
Said you should walk out
Cuz am sorry
But we are not in

He vroomed past me
Said the pillion is booked
Cuz am sorry
But we are not in

Yeah i know
You are sorry
Just sorry
Cuz we are not in

A whirlwind
Dusty and stormy
Rude enough
Injuring tranquility
Trampling everything

Blows the breeze
To wipe the curtain
Gallops a chariot

Snugging together
The duo ride
Not to smother
But to nurture
A future together

The magical horse
Powered by their passion
Takes them
To the Graden of Eden

Nothing more to chase
They feel blessed
An apple in hand
They hide behind the sun

An angel in their arms
Tugs at the reins
Itching to go back
Only to come back
Years later
To the Garden of Eden

the night whispered to me softly\
Come to me it said
i said let the sun shine 
will walk in the shade
i said but not at night

Thursday, August 30, 2012


It knocked on my door
Forced it close
Bolting from inside
I said No

It said come for a ride
Will vanish in the clouds
Stretching on the couch
I said No

It peeped through the window
I stopped it there
Drawing the blinds
I said No

Crawling in my dreams
It begged me to float
Rubbed my eyes
I said No

Resisting death
All the while
I said Yes to life
I still have time
To bid goodbye

I read about rains
The water from the skies
And how it felt
When it touched the souls

Then one day
It dropped on my eyelid
I wondered who cried

Then came another drop
A big fat drop
From the skies

I looked up
To see the dark clouds
Hovering by

The angel
With her overflowing bucket
Had opened the tap

Winked at me
Said I may cry

Just look up
Let tears roll
As I pour

A trickle
Down the chin
Melted with the rain
Released the pain
That lay trapped
In my soul

Making me feel better
She said
May I bring on the sun
To dry the mess
And shine on your soul

I said
Yes yes yes


My eyes
Sparkled in love
As your’s held promise

My feet
Danced to a rythm
As your’s entwined mine

My heart
Raced unleashed
As your’s beat against mine

Two worlds
Became one
As we swore togetherness

Why then
I stand alone

With melted hopes
As darkness gropes

Can’t restrain
Slithering joy
However much I try
Slipping through my fingers
That once held your’s five

Strewn promises
Shattered mirages
One trapped soul

Can I just disappear
In thin air
Will dance alone
With the clouds
To make it rain
One last time
To let go off my pain

Liberating my heart
Of your love
Of the pain
That tore me apart

Running to you
Snugging in your arms
Hearts beating out loud
We would celebrate life

Staring at the ceiling
Feets entangled
Laughing at nothingness
We would celebrate life

Spirits soaring high
The crazy world zooming by
Dawn to dusk
We would celebrate life

Rolling all over
Tripping on each other
Clinking glasses
We would celebrate life

Spilling potions
Getting naughty
Tugging each other
We would celebrate life

Life
That could have been
With me by your side

ONE MORE FOR TINTIN

Cutting a cauliflower,
My mother found a caterpillar,

Screaming with fright,
Her saucer went for a flight

Walking by her side,
With all my might,
I picked up the caterpillar

On a green cauliflower leaf,
It felt bright,

Dainty but shiny,
It gleamed in daylight

Weeks passed,
It is now a butterfly,

Fluttering its wings,
It sits on my fingertip,

Ready for a flight,
I bid her goodbye.

Struggling with the tide
I hold on to a twig

Tossing and turning
Big waves crash by
Withering me down
Pulling me apart
Forces unite
To tear me apart

For a while
I almost give up
Gasping for breath
I no more long for life

About to wash out
I hear your cry
Your silhouette
In the depths
Swims by

Blurry-eyed
With the death defied
Am back to the shores
By your side

I no more fear the waves
Nor do I care for the tides
Now that I am anchored
You by my side

Thursday, July 19, 2012


Trapped
I long to fly
In suffering
A smile unfettered
Scratch the surface
And you would see the scar
Healed
Yet deep enough to pain

Can you come by
For me to cling on
So that I carry on
For a little while
Holding your hand
A little distance
Until I cross the road
And bid my goodbye....

A tiny bundle
You were
Landed in my lap
From the skies
I smiled

Let out a cry
Annouced “here I am”
Turned around my world
I smiled

Blinked your eyes
Closed it as fast
Your first glimpse of this world
I smiled

Stretched your hand
Reached out for me
Feeling blessed
I smiled

THIS ONE IS FOR TINTIN:

one little birdie
flutters its wings
one little birdie
flutters its wings

two little chicks
peck at the grains
two little chicks
peck at the grains

three little squirrels
run around the tree
three little squirrels
run around the tree

four little puppies
wag their tails
four little puppies
wag their tails

five little kittens
drink all the milk
five little kittens
drink all the milk

six little sparrows
play in their nest
six little sparrow
play in their nest

seven little tigers
tease each other
seven little tigers
tease each other

eight little monkeys
swing from the tree

nine little piglets
get dirty on the mud

ten little fishes
swim up and down
ten little fishes
swim up and down

It is a gamble
Play he must

Gamble all the way
To losses and victories
But gamble he must

The highs and lows
Cant be savoured
So gamble he must

The joys and pains
He must cherish
So gamble he must

The ecstacy and dejection
Must he accept
So gamble he must

The love and rejection
Must come to him
So gamble he must

Days of spring in the air
And that of gloomy skies
He must face
So gamble he must

To feel the ocean underneath his feet
And to emrace the chilling breeze
Gamble he must

To find love
And to nourish their child
Gamble he must

Life - the roller coaster
He must ride
So gamble he must

Life is a gamble
Gamble he must

A free fall
From the branch

Tiny and tender
I lay on the stone
Left to wrinkle
Waiting to die

You pass by
God sent
Lift me up
Tenderly
Not to scar
Any further

Still anxious
On your palm
I feel a trickle
Purifying my soul
You soothe the pain

Besides your pillow
Feeling blissed
I no more woe
As you cherish
What was once me

An illusion it was
Showed a perfect us

Soaked in love
Like a pair of dove
Lips sealed
All scars healed
Out of breath
Swearing togetherness
Eternal bliss
Nothing was amiss

Was it you
Who then out of the blue
Shattered the mirror
Making it clear
An illusion it indeed was

Scattered all over
I see myself
A thousand pieces
Impossible to trace
The love that I thought
Found us together
An illusion it indeed was

Staring at the opulent monsoon sky
Your thoughts flash by

Promises still held high
I no more shy
Believing in what I know
Would anyways come by

I held on to those days
When I lay in daze
The world under our feet
Throbbing heartbeats

The dream to be together
Is not yet over
But you stand too far
Enough for my heart to scar

Soaking in monsoon rain
I begin my chase
To let go of the pain
That had me reined

I let go of you
So that you come back
To walk with me
And never go back

Paint me blue
I want you to

Craving for you
I coo
Ecstatic
I feel no more static
Want miracles
To let go off my shackles
I want to run to you
To find the love I knew

Closing my eyes
I sigh
Curl my toes
As I think of you
A warm hug
On the rug
No more inhibitions
Nor any explainations

All I want is you
To paint me blue

I wander in space
Lost in a maze
Float like a feather
In rough weather
Dizzy mind
I feel twined
Completely lost
My heart is all frost
As I wander in space
Lost in a maze

Chirping like a sparrow
She perches atop the barrow
Sings a song
To welcome the dawn
Feeds on gains
Lying strewn after the rains

Fluttering her wings
She readies to sing
The love song
That she chirped with him
When they flapped their feathers
And braved odd weathers
To fly miles together

Missing her mate
She now frets
Musters all her might
And readies for a flight
To brave odd weathers
To cross those isles
Back to her mate
Who she knows
Is her soulmate

I floated in an empty space
Like a balloon without thread
My mind took me distances
So that I could see places

But I didnt get to see a thing
As you clipped my wings
Before I could fly
Left me to cry
In this emptiness

Zombua zombua
Where had you been
Tintin dear Tintin dear
I had been playing

Zombua Zombua
What are you doing
Tintin dear Tintin dear
I am now resting

Zombua Zombua
Why are you resting
Tintin dear Tintin dear
I had been barking

Zombua zombua
Why were you barking
Tintin dear Tintin dear
Someone was knocking

Zombua Zombua
Why were you growling
Tintin dear Tintin dear
Someone was teasing

My heart sinks
As I think
Of you leaving
After I blink

Although a mirage
You brought me cheers
Crept through the darkness
Into my emptiness
Became my addiction
Without much inhibitions
I walked into the spell

My heart now wails
As I thinking of the pains
That will tear me apart
As the mirage breaks


tiny tot tintin has three toys
three toys
three toys
tiny tot tintin has three toys
three toys
three toys

a cute red car,
a big orange plane,
and a long yellow train...

the car vrooms,
the plane zooms,
and the train fumes...

the car says honk honk,
the plane says whoosh whoosh,
and the train says toot toot...

three toys
three toys
tiny tot tintin has three toys

You are my biscuit
You are my biscuit
I will eat you
I will eat you
First I will lick you
First I will lick you
Then I will bite
Then I will bite :)

I saw a dream
Where we went around

We crossed streams
We swam along
We jumped those fences
To reach those ridges
Holding hands in hand
We walked that far
Crossed miles
But never felt tired

I saw a dream
Where we went around

But then came a storm
And we lost our ways
In those wilderness

In my heart
I still nestle a dream
Where we went around
And crossed streams

You’re the dewdrop
That fell on my heart
When it cringed in pain
Wont let it fall

Like a withered leaf
That sprang back to its feet
Holding a dewdrop
Wont let it fall

You are my hope
For another life
You’re the dewdrop
Wont let it fall

You bring me life
You give me reasons
To cling on ...
Cling on to life
Wont let it fall

You’re the dewdrop
I will hold on to
All my life
Wont let it fall

You're the dewdrop
That gave me a life
Wont let it fall
Wont let it fall

I search for love
In this vast emptiness
You thought you found love
But all in vain

But I still believe
Love will find me someday
Love will find you someday
Until then let us pray
Pray that love finds us someday

How I wish
I held on to that night
Held on to you
How I wish
To go back in time...

I should have let things be
Trusted you
Let emotions flow
So that we would know
What it meant
To let go off I
To become “we”

How I wish
How I wish

I held on to that night
Held on to you
How I wish
To go back in time...


She winced
Went numb
The thorn had pierced her heart
She bled
She sighed
But felt no tears
The song played in her heart
They once sang together
And tears rolled down
She knew she had to cry
To let go off the pain

I ask the bird
Can I borrow her wings
So that I can fly
To see my love

I ask the clouds
Can I float along
So that I can fly
And hug my love

I need those wings
I need those clouds
I need a flight
To hold you once
Before I bid goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye...
You make me feel..
Feel like a butterfly
So tiny
Yet so alive
So alive

Flapping my wings
Of desire
Of desire

Out in the wild
Under the blue sky
Without the shackles
No shackles

I fly
I dance
Till my wings tire

But there you are
Make me feel like a butterfly
I want to live for yet another day

To see the sun
Break in our eyes
To see it together
By the bedside....

You make me feel...
Feel like a butterfly
So tiny
Yet so alive
So alive
If my heart could lie
I could deny
Deny the sparks
That flew that night

If my eyes could lie
I could deny
Deny the pain
I saw in your eyes
As I walked away

I dont want to deny
I dont want to deny...

The love
The love that I felt
In your eyes
In my heart
When our paths crossed
That night

Why did you...
Why did you

Let me deny
What I felt that night
As our paths crossed
That night
