Stop, Think & Dream
What’s a new year?Or any other landmark dayfor that matter?Just another day?A change of date?Or a break from the daily chores,As mechanically we go on,Fulfilling responsibilities,For us and the world,Without any sense of purpose. So stop, think and dream,Find things that really mean,And keep you awake,Even in your sleep. It’s a mean world,Selfish and self-centered,ItContinue reading Stop, Think & Dream →

Driving through city lanes,Where boganias jostle for space,My heart starts thumping loudly,At their crowded colourful frenzy. The translucent petals so frail,In the lightest breeze they shake,Thorns guard the blessed air,That covers the boganias so fair. Wish the rain wouldContinue reading A City Of Bougainvillea →

What took me so long,To write about a summer morn,Don’t wet air and bird sounds,Fill my heart with cheers abound? I’m a nymph of the night,Sodium and fluorescence make me alive,Thoughts flow like a lone cloud through a clear sky,Ideas become deep as the darkness of the night sky. Morning is young and pretty,But theContinue reading Nymph Of The Night →
Dreams, Dreams, Dreams
