Wife and Husband
Nurtured, sheltered and loved
is the way I feel
whenever you are with me
I love you and you love me
the feeling gives me ecstasy
I believe you and you’ve believed in me
for all the time you’ve known me
Living with you
has been a dream come true
Cherishing every moment
I live with you
Wedded life has been bliss
You’ve given me a home, a son,
and an angel too,
A lovely daughter
for me and you...

Please
Won't you tell me
That you love me?
Once and for all,
Won't you let out
Your feelings for me?
I know that you love me.
It's in the way you talk...
I can see it in your eyes.
Can't you realise?
I can feel your love
Through my eyes...
Can't you see
What your love
Has done to me?

Born
He did his schooling
When I was not even
Born.
He passed his graduation
When I was just born!
He came to this world
Much before I was born.
Yet when he writes,
Every poesy of his
Smiles with the innocence
Of a new-born!
With every poetry,
He dons a new birth
And exudes the freshness
Of a baby born!

Happy Holi!
On Dol Poornima
When the dark night
Dispels itself
Into the silvery light
of the Full Moon's
Luminescence.
In those beams of
Its translucent
Whites
You'll see how the
Moon delights :)
In playing this Festival
of Colours
With the night's
Greys and blacks
of shadowy sights!
And then you'll realise
That the eternal moon

Home-Coming
The smell is the same
So is the place
Soft and tender
Full of grace
Touch feels good
So does the taste
Juicy and supple
Make no haste
Take your time
For the drink divine
Pure and chaste
Is the nectar sublime
As you savour it
With every sip
Quenching your thirst
Drop by drop,
Deep within that

Poetry
Don't force me,
I'll not come to you.
Don't seduce me,
I'll not fall for you.
Don't control me,
I'll not abide by you.
I'm free flowing poetry…
Will gush all over you,
When you least expect me.
I'll tease you with some
Endearing lines….
And then leave you
Wandering….halfway ;)
Stop pursuing me.
I'm like the sun
That seems so close,
And yet is so far away.

My Dear Friend
Tomorrow if I die
My dear friend.
Let this be
Known to you:
That tonight
I slept my last sleep
With a mind at rest
And a heart in love
With my thoughts
And prayers for you.
If there was a God,
My dear friend
For me it was you.
So I prayed to the
God in you.
I look up to you
With awe and reverence.
You tranquil my life

Need I Say More?
Why do you ~
Make love to me
With your Beautiful
Words of Poetry?
Don’t you know?
Those lovely, long
Fingers of yours…
Arouse me to Unimaginable
Ecstasy?
I imagine them all over me…
Need I say more?
Come, make love to me
No, not in your Poetry.
Please lie here beside me
And allow me to show you

Role-Play
Some people
Ask me
If all my
Poesies
Are my
Life's
Stories…
Most of them
Are…
But many I also
Write…
Placing myself
In others' lives
Seeing their
Perspectives,
Trying to
Become them
And writing
As if, they

Sometimes
Sometimes,
The onions
Come to my rescue.
Sometimes, the
Choking on the food.
Sometimes, the smoke
From the firewood.
The tears in my eyes
Just wouldn’t stop
And I know the reason
Why.
But have to hide them
From my children.
If they ask me why,
I can’t tell them why.
Sometimes, hiding
Doesn’t work.
So if they see it,
