Embracing the Waves



The girl finally takes the journey on the lonely land,
The dwarfing valleys seen to call out for her
She has known only two touches – that of rough earth and the silky sand,
What eludes her, is the cheerful watery banter

The shading mountains begin to peep as the road silks its route
The maverick ranges make the subtle green come alive as drive along
Today, as she plucks the dying memories of her painful past from their shoot
She finally finds her voice being heard– on what is right and what is wrong

The lofty hills and green pastures offer her their humble ears,
She smiles, almost reaching out to them; in a splash of moment
As the road turns, she can feel her life to be changing gears
She knows now – she is going to touch the alien sense of a vent

She is going to embrace a new touch – that of the magnanimous river
She had always lived in the fear of the unknown
Little did she know the holy waters are as loving as a Godly giver
One moment’s magic, and every little splash in the Ganges became her own

In a lifetime of one moment, the girl caved out of her fear,
The fear of water was ripped as she rode on the waves of loving waters
Like a child who enjoys the first splash in his baby pool
She leaped on the raft, pushing every demon of the mind aside

She now takes a leap of faith – to come home to her source, her self
She knows, as she smiles, fear is nothing but love, albeit unknown
She pledges to live and spread the wave of love
After all, waves her now hers, she calls them ‘her own’

Will we unite?


When the stars dance, when the meteors rain,
Our love meets then – our eyes are dramatic pigeons
They feather to their magnetic aura
When destiny casts us together in one room


The room feels grasped in its aura,
When it feel our eyes meeting each other
The raining dew drops of love falls apart
when we meet, and find each other after eons

We meet, only to go our separate ways
We knit our lives, to filter the emotions that yearn
Our longing wants to bid a goodbye and save the rainbow song
For another lifetime maybe, when we both will be gone

We take shadow in the knowledge of another life,
We know we will mend the rusted bridges
The water will flow with sparkling love
When two twin hearts will finally unite

Does this life want us to take the ladder of hope,
Or does it want us to take the tighter, tougher rope?
Will this heart melt in your heart someday?
Will I ever return to feel your soft, feather-like hand one day??


Why do you meet me today?
What will I ever do to be same again?
Now when you bring me to this undying glow,
How will I deny of this miracle ever again??

The Waterfalls


The green lush is beginning to catch up,
The moist breeze is ringing in a  lofty hue
The laden meadows are spreading the green
The scented ground is bringing the rains back

The rains are cold and windy
They bring back the golden peace
For people who come todayto marvel at nature’s glory
Are singing the slient song of love

Love is shining a new sheen today
The color of joy is every shade of green
The humble valleys know they are special
They stand there everyday, bringing us like metals to a magnet’s aura

The lofty ranges are dangling as we drive by,
The merciful roads turn as we range over
The pristine wetness is of the nature’s pure water
The waterfalls meet us, aplenty

The loving flowing waters melt into the turbulent stones
They tide over, bringing to life a road less travelled
The lovers of the pearly waters makes the hearts laugh in innocence
Scripting together - pictures and memories of a lifetime

Our Silent Love


From sunken shadows, from rafty waters
Emerged a silent love, one that makes the sweetest sound
Of melodies and rhythms that our wandering hearts yearn for,
Let’s make it come back to us, let’s come around

The happy circle of life is clasping for our hands
The long road less travelled,
Talks about the lonely distances we have been through
When today we make our bonds click

The touch of your hand is akin life meeting eternity,
To saddle our hearts on this touch is the joy,
A burden that we both enjoy – we come home at the soul
The souls are asking for a little attention

The eyes seek attention, make a holy church somewhere
When they meet, they feel like two church bells that collide
Their collision brings to life their romance
Our eyes bow down to this silent love

Of tattered looks that stand lovelorn today
Let my hand be in yours forever,
If there comes a time to lend voice to our silence
Come and hug this heart, not leaving it ever

The Melting Ice and the Mermaid


When thorns melt with the heat of the melting ice,
The fire makes itself seen , the ignition took a few baby steps
Only to caste a sheen, that makes the reticent nights go bright and nice
The air was casting a smouldering signal- the change was round the corner


The chainging wave is going to catch us all
It refuses to let go of the spade, the shovel will work the crawl on us
Are you aware – it is a mirage of the indifference?
The light of the fury will bring in our lap, the glorious sunrise

The sunrise is my best friend,
It will come dancing in your lap, to befriend you forever
The shining glory that glimpses out of my shadow
Also yearns for your solemn tears of gratitude

My sorrow became my dose of grace,
My longing found way into the cave of your heart
The ignition was alive, as the graceful aura travelled between our souls
The fire is lit; today, your path is set

No creation fights with the path of destiny
Only angels come rushing to our aid
You are rescued by his golden wave  of kindness
The melting ice will become – your angelic, lovely mermaid!

When something emerges...


My miracles peel their story,
They sing along with the humming bird
The sound that makes the cups tinkle, let alone a melody of the soul
My soul fears not anything today – the waters make their splash heard

The loving, gigantic water appeal
Almost, feeling the banter of our souls
They edge me, they push me – Go! Find your way to your home
I wonder – where have I lived all these years? What is my final goal?

We live and weave our lives in these goals
They live for a legacy, waiting to be told
My heart runs and ditches the race
It wants to linger own – in valley that we behold

My ribbon moulds its life in air
It smiles, it sings
Like a mood that feels different today
It makes us stand aloft – but Do I deserve these wings??

Could the flight have an identify
Without the mighty peak
We all know when our times come,
When suddenly , strength emerges out of the weak

The Misty Forests and the Holy Tweet


The misty forests say the story
The tweet of the holy bird brings the magic alive
The saintly sight of the skies ditches the vision
To bring to life –the sight of a lifetime
My Eyes know your story
They know you ditch me for a reason
To paint a new sunrise that shines beyond the hives of the colourful leaves
The leaves were restless for the shore to move away
They come alive to touch the heart of the careless sea
The sea that brings me your memory
Is longing to take the sweetness of the glory away
You may feel the misty forests would see my cry
Little did you know that I was here, to relive the aura of a joy
From where I learnt to pick rustic senses of happiness,
You come to beget a new soul in my soul
My soul would always count for the sun to stay alive
For today again – the misty forests say the story
And, the tweet of the holy bird brings the magic alive.......

The Rain Drops Are Few.....


The rain drops are few,
But they live the dew
The air is melting behind the curtains
The magnetic whiff is bringing back your memories in my veins

The subtle aura is your love; your hand is just a little away
The rain makes us want to reach each other
The snow walks in between, almost from nowhere
Asking us –“Do you recognise one another?”

We stand scared, almost knowing the answer
Your gaze begins to tell me your story
My gaze learns to pretend after the epic
Your love is left moist on your hand

Our hands do all the talking from a distance
They lung out in rebellion – Can’t we be together?
The mantle looks too heavy today
With the weight of their question

Seeking the love and its answers
Will never let the search halt
The search is a lifelong seeker
It never will pray for the sea to part with its salt

The Sea marvels at the love we share
It remembers the Rain drops as they sweep the shore – What a view!
The air starts melting again today,
Yes the rain drops are few, they love the dew

Lord's Abode - The Hills

The lane is a lonely stretch
If only you knew the light walks with you
The lush, green forests make you feel lost
If only you knew you find only when you knew you lost

This valley is for finding, you find when you become ready to lose
To surrender is to know you never give up ever
This knowing can last for a lifetime, or it can evade you this moment onwards
As you walk along, you realise something holds you.....

The faith and the recognition hold you tight
This thread of faith is a rope, you realise
As you look up – you feel the clouds walking
You pass the range, as you follow the clouds

The clouds bring you back on earth
When you spot the boundary the edges of a range make up
You realise the realisation of a lifetime
You can see now – its the side profile of the Buddha

The sight of the lord humbles you
It leaves you pristine and moved
You always knew the hills loved the Gods
You see it today...And you feel the love

You come back on your lane
Feeling a world of a difference
The path is no longer a lonely aisle
You smile, as you feel grace walking besides you...into the woods......

Magic of the Western Ghats

The mist on the range is sniffing with the glory
Glory that brings to life the joyful buds
The Western Ghats look more glad than they ever did
As if they swing with the pride of the emperor

The emperor is known to be sitting in the arena of the west
The arena of the grand lord, known since eternity for his magic
A magic that pulls us, akin to a magnet pulling the metal
As we drive through the magical ranges, we feel dwarfed

Feeling dwarfed means feeling big
A sudden rush of grace sweeps us
The aura of the still ranges makes us swell
When you stand quiet, you stand tall

As the drive thickens, the ranges get more candid
They start talking to us a little more
The virgin innocence of the city captures us awestruck
The hustle bustle of the land is way off

I close my eyes as the sun begins to recede at dusk
Telling me, almost – a story went well told
It awakens a sense of relief
As I look forward to tomorrow’s sunrise atop the ghats

The Onset of the Blessed Season

My eyes started betraying me,
My soul felt like ditching me this season
My spirit came sprinting to my rescue
Told me – Learn to smile without a reason!

The bells seem rusted, no one knows why
Did you know the bells wanted to tinkle,
They asked me – Can we dance in your happiness today?
They wish to see me drowned in a smile, not a wrinkle

My life wishes for one smile from me,
My world is waiting for me to touch the flute of glory
My hands are reaching out to the field of blessings
My hands are itching to script my own divine story

The sun’s rays are remindful of the love it emits
The peacocks bring to life their glorious past
The shine in everyone’s eyes is not to be mistaken
The shimmer they’ll leave behind is for ever going to last!

Our Love is Immortal

Your every gesture would give it away
Your every look could melt out your story
Your every step forward could tell me you wanted to stop
Your every word could show your love for silence

This is a milestone in our lifetimes,
Our love was always eternal
Today, when you tell me just that
I can’t manage more than a smile

The sense of knowing you
Has been carrying for lifecycles
The knowledge of your eyes
Almost feels immortal

This lifetime knows the love
It has always known you
It ain’t a shadow
I know you walk beside me

There are no regrets for what lies ahead
Your turning midway will not leave me blue
Each time you see a beautiful dream, remember me
For I pray – may all your dreams come true!

Silence on a Moonless Night

When Dried Marigold flowers
started sniffing of Saffron,
I realised – the magic had worked!
your presence had knocked on my door

Like the water pleads for moonlight
on a moonless night,
You had heard my callout
You came flying, to yield to my plight

Your feathers were so soft
they made me like the roughness
You smiled, said – “Nothing is rough”
It’s the hand that touches, decides


Roughness of the heart
Can never stay for long,
Your one cruel word
cannot kill my heart’s song

Every sheet of linen screams for some color
Maybe yellow, maybe green
But It never asks for a color unknown
It only asks for a blessing, that remains unseen


Love needs no proof
Neither does it need crying hoarse.
It means nothing to let go of love,
It builds a castle of faith even after the departure

If you ever get to meet me again,
Know that moonless nights also shine
You might not be there,
Your silence will be the wordless divine!

Your Coming, My Becoming....

Your coming into my life is like becoming,
Your caress is like a hue of marigold.
My heart knows you care for me
The winds say it aloud, almost in letters bold.

The writing is there on the wall,
But what to do- the wall is tainted with mud
The taint prevents me from meeting your eyes
A flower that refuses to leaves its abode, its bud.

Who does not love flowers and their fragrance?
When did I say I don’t want to be with you?
I have forever wanted to be a part of you,
Have stood and waited for a lifetime in a queue

My turn shall come one day
When a few living moments of yours will be mine,
There would be that one day, when your one look-
Will do the work done by a glass of wine

Intoxicate is what you do to me….
You bring the best out of me
You are the rhythm in my song of the soul
You bring my tune to such glee

Will wait for your magic to pick me up
I wait to be engulfed by your wave,
I swear I will ride with all my heart
Will readily become for life, your loving slave!!

World Cup 2011- Team India's Extra Run!

(Dedicating this poem to the fine army of 11 fearless men, finely led by MS Dhoni who rewrote history by clinching the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 at Wankhede Stadium,Mumbai on 2nd April 2011.)


The fine smell of victory fills the air
The talented boy’s mother makes sweets aplenty
Both jaggery and joy taste one-just sweet
The smiles and claps were awaited for years more than twenty

Almost three decades it took to come,
When it came, it got us a wave of hope
Hope that tears will be forgotten,
Strong shall become today, the rope!

Rope, of courage and happiness
Only gets stronger and stronger from here,
For men who were pacing on their swan song
Are now singing the last few melodies which we all can hear

The phantoms are out singing sweet songs
The reflection of this historic moment will etch forever
The Indian team is now sold to their destiny’s gold
They’ll be reminded of the sheen, on their every cricketing endeavor

Screams and cries of ecstasy flows above the ground
Hugs and Tears are ruling the night
Right now, Crackers and fireworks are the only sound
Almost dancing to the tune of eleven men’s might!!

The Night Of Glory

Your face shines today like a diamond bead,
The forehead bears a divinity unknown since birth.
The air screams of your presence and begs us to pay heed
This night is special, it is showing us our master’s worth.

As you drown in his glory,
You take us along with you in this stream
The water seems to gush with us along, like a well-told story
You sit there, almost like the Divine torch giving way to its beam

Your face picks up the smile,
That has lit up many an atom and life
Your being dons his magic
A magic- that can bring any wish alive

As we sing songs of devotion tonight
Melt is what you do inside me;
Merging as if turning our every wrong into right,
This night will not fade away, it always will be……….

His touch, His Divinity.....

He saw, He stood and He asked!
His quest became a jewel
A little spark of water made my worth shine,
To shine beyond its luster- got into the jewel’s mind

And then the heart started talking,
Words and actions seemed not too many.
And suddenly, I wanted to sing aloud,
I want to dazzle like a diamond- said the penny.

Pennies and Nickels,
Are they metals full of worth?
Splendid dreams can always turn into realities,
Says my marshall, the divine master of this earth.

Loving you is to love him,
Loving like a fool is the trick.
Innocence binding the emotion
Akin- a candle flaming around the wick.

But One day, the candle will light up the room
The glory will reach his ear,
One day, the buds will also get to bloom
He would also get to know, what makes him so dear.

What’s Your Gift??

The wind blows and brings a pearl
You think it’s the one that belongs to an oyster
Something then whispers slightly in your ear,
And it finds you then, smiling like a victorious fighter!

The fight is nothing more than this world
The world that we all fight every living day
A struggle that we all bear with unknowingly
With our hearts and wit!

Wit does not conquer all, courage does
Doting mothers will swear by it
A martyr, if he were alive
Would live it in his last moment

Moments are all around us!
Some Good, Some Very good
There is no moment that is bad
The gift depends on its wrapper


We wrap our own gifts
Innocent perceptions form the ribbon
The present is what I wanted
I make it my own- Gift!!
