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.
Cat and Mouse
Unaware I climb the stairs
We greet face to face
Scared to death I run down.
The Dog darts above.
The Broken Pitcher
This fate of drying up
from within had to come,
it knew, when the knock
made it fall with a moan.
Train
I do not fear
Sometimes I reverse,
Then move ahead
My time is over it seems
I finally stop.
Do You Believe in Humans?
Ajit smiled at Surya and said, “I am a social activist and a rationalist. I thought people should serve humanity instead of believing in God. I knew only the language of humanity and did not even marry for I thought it would shift my priorities in life. It was evident that many did not like my ways. A bus stop in my locality was used for parking two wheelers and rickshaws. Some even pitched their huts permanently near the bus stop.
The Neighbour’s Wife
as it would for someone
she cared for. Idol-like
in her looks, quietness-
the neighbour’s wife.
Goodness
By helping, spending time with them-
Goodness on its own shall flourish within
Keeping you busy in your new found dream.
The Dream Sequence
much like you watch the score-board,
when your favourite team seems to lose,
only this time you are in the Noah’s ark
with your species and the storm is
intimidating, indiscriminately so.
Walking on The Cliff
Do you keep going on
the cliff, much like the mule
carrying you on the hill-mall?
