Ode to Soulmate
The scent of flowers from all around
Touched my soul to set it free.
The madness yonder spread afar
Till they meet the bending sky-
The hanging firmament looks at me
Like a just- wed bride, quite and shy.

Move On
By now, the sight of his house was far away as they neared the place of their new Society premises where preparations for housewarming ceremony was in full swing. Surya had a deep sigh. He looked at the crushed coins that he had kept with him. He could hear the sounds of the Goods train passing by crushing the coins and going far away out of sight. He threw the coins away and proceeded to embrace the further chapters of his life. It was time to permanently move on from this chapter of his life. Forgetfulness is the biggest gift given by the Almighty to mankind, he thought. Else everyone would have got mad with their guilt and dark secrets. Surya had a radiant smile and lifted his daughter Swara as they moved their way into the new flat.
Soulmate
Giving comfort and the strength to fight
Soul acts as a teacher and a friend
Which whispers in ears new lessons of life
Saying, salvation comes only through pain.
Key to Happiness
At times I forget what I set out to do,
I find it hard to remember a name,
Yet these failings cause no worry to me –
As something much higher is now my aim.
