The sun sets miles afar
The misty mountain
drifts into the background
cool climes merge
...

If you take a Drop
from My Sea
to quench your thirst
...

I search for reasons
for this ache....
for this feeling,
for this twinge,
...

Thinking of you
in the present …...
as if, you are the reality
of The Moment....
...

Maybe that's why
they call it
A fall....
Fall in love
...

Once mighty green leaves,
Now swaying here and there
They are changing colours
From green - To red - to indigo,
...

Naked-
I am
My skin glows,
Eyes sparkle,
...

...

The wound
that aches
The pain
one yearns
...

Don't wash
your dirty
linen
in public
...

A Prince is
the adorable
puppy face
of a
...

Beyond the borders
of right and wrong
Where the sun rises and sets
On a barren land
...

We celebrate
Independence
from the
English throne
...

I remember in the bygone days of war,
Where his kind were considered the foe,
I never told him, as I never thought so-
That, he, my friend belonged to the 'force'.
...

So I decided to tell him,
My father,
the liberal Buddhist,
That I'm in Love
...

...

His love was
this non demanding
kind of silent presence
That did not seek attention
...

She waits-
At the gate
To see a glimpse
Of the man she loves
...

She counts
The days, hours,
Minutes, seconds......
Till she sees him again,
...

Death comes as a relief
To the ailed in pain
The sinners inborn
With failing hearts
...
