Darkness dances in the margins. Shadows lengthen. Wildflowers, shed their blooms, one by one and the meadows echo with the wind’s sighs. Geese, once more, darken the blue skies punctuating their flight with honking cries. The world turns never going back to where it began and we are all its passengers. Where do we goContinue reading “TIME-RIDERS”

SPRING FAIRY
I sleep between snowdrops And bathe myself in morning dew I clothe myself with hyacinth And dance beneath a sky so blue.

I flit from flower to flower On the softContinue reading “SPRING FAIRY”
UPSIDE DOWN

What difference could a second have made? What destiny could a moment have unfurled? But time flows onwards sweeping in its tides the pathsContinue reading “WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN”

ON THE MERITS OF MUFFINS
Better than brownies are muffins with cranberries and chocolate chips there is more flour than sugar and flavor and hue in the tasty bits. I need no plate with a muffin The paper liner catches my crumbs which, when the big muffin is eaten, into my mouth are dumped! Though I risk the wrath ofContinue reading “ON THE MERITS OF MUFFINS”
ANTICIPATION
One day, flowers will bloom again and I will cup their velvety petals like treasures in my hands One day, birds will sing again and my heart will beat in harmony with their song One day, the sun will be warm again and the earth and rivers will wake and the air will burst withContinue reading “ANTICIPATION”
