My heart aches with envy and desire, Consumed by greed that never tires, I’m like a bird in a gilded cage, Yearning for more in a never-ending rage. I hold a golden egg, but it’s not enough, I want a golden hen to lay with golden stuff, To have what others have, and even more,Continue reading “Greedily Yours”

Daughterly Yours
You do not really get to realize that you are aging unless a fine morning, not your better half but your daughter who until now was thought to be a kiddy, admonishes you for not having gone for a morning walk. This is particularly true for all artists and more soContinue reading “Daughterly Yours”
Poetically Yours

(un) Remorsefully Yours
You realize or you don’t, I forgive you always, Just the same way as, I loved you always.

As he would do it daily in his hometown, taking a dip early in the morning in the holy Ganges and then pray the rising Sun with a palmful of Ganges water, a ritual named “arghya”, how overwhelmed he becameContinue reading “Spiritually Yours”
Affectionately Yours
A place where you ain’t you, I ain’t me, A space though small but with happiness, Where you choose from the heap of desires, You put the sorrows in the detritus, Time not needed to heal wounds. A place, I tell you nothing, you hear everything, A space with dignity between us-no illusion, WhereContinue reading “Affectionately Yours”
Responsibly Yours
Today, its not a poetry, not a prose, not an essay about any ritual or custom and not even a read on any prompt. Sometimes, a spontaneous conversation with an acquainted person or a line or two in someone’s feed on social media platform is no less a poetry or a delightful prose or aContinue reading “Responsibly Yours”
