Souvenir to a Rakhi

All these years,from my childhood through school to my late teens,I was a lone child.But not after the last Rakhi,when I found a sweet li'l sister and never can I forget the day.This one's for my Sis,who added new colors to my life..


Run,run,run
through the meadows
of joy,
through the fields
of happiness
The sun is so bright today,
Is it your joie-de-vivre?

The blessing
of the sky,
the love
of this world.
slake your thirst,
underneath
a cascade of dreams.
See them alive,
See the never-never land
come to life.

Board the train
of hopes and dreams.
passing en route
smiles and smiles.
sans pain,
sans grief and cries,
chasing butterflies
for thousands of miles.

Listen li'l sister..
wear that smile forever
and let never fade it out.

In your rope-walk
on the cosmic lines
of life,I promise
to be your
balancing stick.
I'll never let you down.
I'm an atheist by nature.
But sister,I'll pray for you.

.mermaid MeSmeRizE



Hendrix and his haze,
quintessentially purple
to my ears.

it was when my eyes stammered,
mouth was squint,
heart attacked my head.

it was when I was soaring high,
high after a noon's party,
of liquids and scented air,
enough plants to kill my lungs,of course.

it was then,when
I saw this
It was a mermaid
yes, a mermaid
unbelievably, walked on the road.

a second look,
at her slender legs
and tadaa..
I stopped pulsating.

it was then,when
she manoeuvred,
her lips
to flaunt, and kill men,
clone freaks of my kind,
she smiled and again.

it was then,when
i sensed vestiges,
your reminiscences.
with memories,i live.
without, a happy.
with memories i live
without,a happy.
