A Pair Of Eyes

I still clearly remember the day I had met a pair of eyes. Those images are vivid and deeply etched onto my mind. It was a sunny morning with the summer sun right overhead. I was busy running around in search of my documents. Suddenly I heard someone call out my name. I stopped. The voice sounded familiar. I turned.
There they were a pair of eyes I had last met three years ago. Back then, their smiles used to match their facial counterpart. On that day, they lacked shine and met me with stoic...

Happiness

Silence

Soul Talk

Alone

It was four years agoWhen home they brought my warrior dead.Those images are still vivid,I can't get them out of my head.
He had gone walking on twosBut came back in a coffin.Till the time 'Black Box' was openedI didn't know what was in.
Broken bones but unscathed faceWithin a mummified body.I had wished for it to be a dreamBut it was a reality.
People say I've come off itTo some extent I agree.Yet to be honest deep withinI know I have lost 'Me'.
There are times when I turnInto a rebel, defiant a...

Inspiration

I can hearSilence talkingall around.
I can seemy Heartbeats dancingto a sound.
I can tasteSunshine shiningin the rain.
I can feelDarkness brighteningmy pain.
I can smellThoughts fleetingthrough my head.
I can senseHope callingat every step.
I hear the sounds,I see the sights,I taste emotions,I feel the flights.
I smell fragrances,I sense perceptions.For me these aremy Inspirations.

Happy Independence Day

I feel happy that my country isIndependent, but am I?I can't even walk through a crowd,With my chin up and head held high.
I still fear speaking my heart outBecause there are thousands waiting to judge,What is spoken, discuss threadbare,Form opinions and never budge.
I dont have the right to wear what I want to,Because I am a girl, a widow, a woman.And if I still do don the attire I like,I become an object available for fun.
Gone are the days when I could write,Sonnets and ballads in the name of...

Live The Moment

Time once gone never returns,So just do what your heart yearns. 
Live each moment like its last, Else 'twill become a thing of past. 
Love like you'll never love again, Take a walk or dance in the rain. 
Just do what your heart says is right,Even if the brain puts up a fight. 
Sing the songs you've wanted to sing,Live your life like a Queen or King. 
Some day when you are weary and small,Thoughts will knock and give a call.
Memories of moments you have lived and g...

War

Sometimes an image alone can bring back memories.
Sometimes its a thought.
Sometimes an action.
No matter what, how do I ever bring you back.
Back into my life.
Back to me.

Would life have been any different?
Wish I had a crystal ball to gaze into!!
But I am no fortune teller
And you are not a fragment of imagination.

Time has not paused.
Life has moved on.
Work has kept me busy
And kids have me occupied.

But sometimes,
A wee little corner of my heart
Cries out loud.
Just loud enough for me to hear.
Thats when...
