Peace in Havoc

Aggression is just the vent for lava...
a force that struggles to keep its restlessness within itself....
unfortunately it does not always succeed...
The moment it erupts....it causes havoc....
But then...it calms down....to offer the humanity a sight of nature's majesty....
to enrich the surrounding soil with all the fertility...
to bless the civilization of that place...


Volcano....an admired geographical wonder that waits....only for another outburst before it dies.

The Dark Temptation

Sometimes mistakes are tempting.
They are mischievous....as notorious as a kid who does exactly what you forbid him to do.
Unfortunately,
its difficult to get a forgiving mother at all times.

The Never-Ever-Changing Change

All of a sudden...there is this feeling about change....it comes so silently,stealthily...catches you unaware...engulfs you entirely....till you are left with no other option  but to accept it........what an audacity  !


Yet you have nothing to complain against it....rather you surrender voluntarily to this greater power...get carried away by its promising flow......what a magnanimity  !

For You..Dear Friend..

Comradeship is an art.
Unfortunately, not all are artists.....
More unfortunate is the fact, that,
not all art forms are decipherable 
to the naive eyes !!

The Miracle

A knock at the heart
A twinkle in the eye
A rush of adrenalin
A sudden palpitation of pulses
A series of welcome nights
A touch of the magical wand
And then,
commas
and more commas
and finally a fullstop.
A vacancy in the heart
A pearl in the eye
A lump in the throat
A breath smeared with thorns
A life of dreaded seconds
A fall from the fairy land.
Tell me,
the austere air of Lumbini,
the enlightening shade of Gaya
or the mocking phases of time-
which one did the miracle??

The Eternal Turmoil

The air is gloomy

even the bleaker lights fade

My eyes are blurred

with the fog ahead.

In the land of melancholy

where tears reign,

You are shattered.

You are crushed.

But,

You are phenomenal.

You are eternal.

You may be success, You may be love

You may be a smile, You may be a sob.

From the ashes of despair

like a Phoenix you rise.

You,my dear,

are my desire 'to live'.
