Missing

Sometimes
I wish
I were not
Quite me

So that
I stop
Picking at
How I am

And
Put down
Where it feels

Yet
Saraswati watches over me
by the river of words

The Silence of Loneliness

What breaks when
Not much does break,
But Silence when it makes
Silence in its wake ?

What breaks then
When not much does break,
As more silence bakes
More silence barren ..

Liberty Bell, Philadelphia

It makes you wonder
If the cracked bell should ring.
Will the crack get worse
Upon ringing ?
Maybe it holds together
Through the flawed ringing ?
Surely a crash altogether
If left idle too long.

But then Breakage
and Dying are inevitable
Of course; irrespective of the pieces,
cracks and hopelessly hopeful life
left behind. Same holds
For the nation, the ideology,
even civilization, culture and friends

Or to bring home the point maybe,
that basic unit of the family ....

Pensive reflection by a Stream

Young Kids. Stream goes by.
Simple stuff. Aged Man. Same stream.
May it be simple.

For N on Valentine's day

Since man is small,
I will love you
                 in my little, small ways.

Love can be large-hearted
                                    boundless
So too it is around you
When we share together
Those little, small forevers

Funnies + Snobbery

Regular person : Oh, I judged them too quickly there ...

Snob : There is no such thing as judging too quickly.

Lovebirds + Funnies

Sparks flew between confused lovers as they kissed; it was the dry winter air.

Lovebirds + Funnies

My loved one is so sweet; they brings me a sachet of sugar every time !
