When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow [...]

AN APPOINTMENT Today as usual, the day began,It’s going to be a hectic one, I sang,A slave, I’m to the appointment diary,And this never occurred to me as dreary. Deep into the worksheets I was drowned,The clicks of the keyboard was the only soundTwo more clients to go before lunchWhat was to come I had no hunch. Surrounded [...]

A look into your eyes is enough, to make my troubles disappear,They help step into a life that’s tough, without a trace of fear. Darling, by now you should know,of the emotions I hold for you,your eyes, they’ve helped me show,what was hidden, has now blossomed true. ‘Tis just not possible,  for me to tell lies,when I [...]

HOLDING HANDS. Gradual foot steps that we keep,and our eyes a few times, they meet,making small talk while we go,and  all the time we both know,that our souls are entwined together,when we’re holding hands, dear lover.  The winds of change blows harder,envious eyes become greener,a few stumbling blocks strewn,pit falls, stone walls, brick bats …. ……..will not [...]

MEMORIES. Strange things happen suddenly,faces forgotten flash by quickly,events that have long past,…..they come back…….emotions, feelings ……..…all those memories. Those little steps to be taken,faltered and we fell back,time doesn’t stand still,it moves and marches by. Foolish seem some things,now the distance changes their colour,give a helpless smile, a shake of the head,at words that were said and left [...]

ANXIETY Try to tell the one suffering anxiety“Don’t worry, this will not last”Disbelief will cloud her face,Your sympathies will dissolve in a trace.Pessimism will overtake.  Try to tell the one suffering anxiety“Don’t worry, this will not last”She will look at you with hope,Wondering, Is this where my solution lies?Whether her troubles will disappear, if she closes her [...]

 It’s been a long time, since words came to me,Whn’evr I went near a paper, they were nowhere to see.My mind would go blank and my fingers idle,Most of the time, I was stuck on the title. How was today different, I cannot tell,I began with a malady, and am now writing a parody.What was my [...]

A bond that’s not visible, nor is it describable,Through many a births and deaths. There exists a commonality between usConnecting and taking us forward - thus. When we talk there are no other noisesWhile we argue, put forth and describe phrasesThere’s nothing to explain nothing to understandFor its all there only to be experienced. Lets now put [...]
