The Feelings of Today
I feel sadness, sorrow, and tears in the depth of my soul today. The emptiness and loneliness of my feelings today makes me feel kind of hurt. Perhaps it is because I hurt someone who had feelings for me. I felt overwhelm by the sight of one wo
the feel of love
ever edging my way in slumber to the 'morrow only shaking of delight with the prospect of awakening and there you are...before my eyes the butterfly and hum that sings within me as inside I dance in place it is a warm and most welcome feel
A thought..
Just an existential moment of thought...
Angels And Dinosaurs
A fantasy sonnet about dinosaurs being 'true angels' once living on our planet and down through the ages we mortals have arose but are still waiting their return.

Sailing Home To Josephine....
This is written in memory of a happier time on the corner. For the benefit of new comers, a while back as part of a challenge ..Lady Odette became Josephine and Mizzy became Napoleon.

Zen Enlightenment
(haiku) The above stated may seem simplistic but it is not. Zen is a way of seeing. The things of everyday life remain the same. It is one's way of seeing that changes. The change may require years to take place. True spiritual practice is not founded on attainment or on the miraculous, but on seeing life itself as a true miracle. In the words of a Zen master, My magical power and miraculous gift: Drawing water and chopping wood.

{Whence Gonneth Those Days?}
I just remembered my childhood days, of the days spent at my Gradmas house in wodehouse road at Colaba in south Mumbai.There was innocence, fun, laughter, picnics, swimming in the sea, movies and great food prepared by my grand parents.
Lost
Time stood still as she looked around And wondered where she was Her mind was blank, there was nothing there No name, nor who she was All around her the world moved on The hustle and bustle of the city The faces hard, the distant stare Not o

The lone Poetic voice.
As a lone voice in the wilderness and deemed as unpatriotic to criticize the political war Lords, whose driving force is the weaponry of war supported by propaganda of mis-information, our hands are awash with blood.

A Poem Written From Tears
another poem of mine.
No Regrets.
You gave me gifts,that few can, that I struggle to hold on to. Showed me,from your eyes, that I struggle to still see. I see evidence of you in the fields, when like you,the bailer has been active. In the character,of our children, when they
