Just Dance!
If I can’t dance,
My world stops a bit.
If I don’t dance,
My universe shrinks a little.
Without dance,
Any stillness achieved is stale.
Dance is primordial joy given form.
Without that joy, what’s meaning?
Dance today!
The IS will flow back.
Dance today!
Flow with vibrant joy.
Dance today!
Reach for bliss…

Glimmers
The Bright (By Radhika Mukherjee)
Glimmering sunlight liquid in the treetops,
A friendly crystal drizzle.
Missing rainbow.
A huge sigh envelops the world…

Everywhere You Can Read ‘Our Particular Shadows’
So much of my heart is in this book! All that was sad and sublime, beautiful and breaking…
If you want to dive into another’s mind to better explore your own, this is the book for you.
Our Particular Shadows is a book of micro-fiction containing 7 stories told from close first person, which explore a gamut of emotions and situations.
To learn more, read the blurb below:
What is it that haunts you? What is your most intransigent fear? What is your stubborn trigger?
These are shadows. Your particular shadows.
The protagonists of Our Particular Shadows wrestle with their shadows, which could very well be your very shadow. There is no race, no gender, no nationality, no caste to distract you in this reading experience. Just the pure human experience of being and feeling and hurting and seeking…
The seven stories (micro-fiction) of Our Particular Shadows, for all their poetry, evoke devastatingly intense raw emotions and leave you with a spirit that has in some measure cried out its lingering shadows. Your longing for connection, your promise of joy to yourself, your ever-evolving relationship with your ‘magician’, your absolute obsession with The One, even if they are your poison, the questions you ask each other after weathering devastation, the way you would nearly shoot yourself to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, your quest for quiet and satisfaction. You’ll find it all here.

The Hummingbird Haikus
Hummingbird Flowers (By Radhika Mukherjee)
We steal hummingbird flowers,
For the Gods.
Wings flutter in question…
***
Flowers bend and sway,
Hummingbirds divebomb the other,
Sunshine flutters.
