Late Comer





Running briskly
With perspiring senses
Wildly beating heart
Checking the watch every other moment
To see how much time lost already
To calculate possible reaching time
To raise the speed
And to prepare for an abrupt entrance
There is a big price to pay
For getting late
A risk
Unworthy
As you stand to lose out
The savory moments upfront
Amongst the settled audience
Engaged fluidly up to the occasion

Then the door cracks up
Breaking the silence of even the noise
Making heads to turn around for a glimpse
To see the distracting latecomer
With countless eyes sprinkling spotlights
Walking past the aisle
Becomes nervy like on a ramp
Nodding the sorry with the eyes
And the bowing head
Whispering the excuse
From the shell of a sorry figure
Without any idea about the scenario
That persisted there

A messy catch up work remains
To be done, to get on level terms
With all those present there
With short enquiries for briefings
Fighting against the time  
To make up for the lost time
Before gelling into the zone
With the ease in breathe 

Scary, if there is scolding
Embarrassing
Funny, if there is mocking
Light-hearted banter for folks
There is always an awkward moment
Awaiting the late comer

Waves Of Depression


I am falling slowly into a dark burrow of                                                                                                      Gem clipped thoughts on this sacred day                                                                                                  When the temple will host devotional aura                                                                                        Mythology, and spiritual kindling tonight                                                                                                    I will not be awake to experience that

I exude confidence and feel magnetic
Towards positive vibes and ultimatums
When I am high on medicines artificially
As if I humbled the valleys of depression
I feel I can face the stresses in an office

I am stumped by the flak of medicines
When I altered my path towards healing
First setback is bitter like radish mouth
A betrayal that hurts the woven dreams
Threatening the very desire to be sane

Emptiness will acquire a grip on the night                                                                                          Voices in my mind will surrender silently
I'll feel helpless, hopeless, and soulless
But I wish for courage twining my mind
To weather the storm down and survive

Let's Meet At Hill Top

Let us meet at Ponmudi hill top
We can embrace clouds at dawn 
And wander through the meadows 
Whispering the secrets from hearts 
We can observe the hillocks around 
And select the prettiest to set a home 

Let us light the candles at night
On the big rock resting on a stone 
When the breeze is gentle and cold
We can spot all the celestial bodies 
Maneuvering  along the astral plane 
And rewrite the stars with our fantasy

Let us wait for the late night rain 
That will hide the shy moon subtly 
And dance with our sodden bodies 
Brave the cold droplets of desires 
Until we find our way back to cottage
To quench the thirst of our wild souls

I'll Bring You A Song


I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when we meet again,  On a misty morning in the valley, Where you love to sing with the birds

I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when we feel again, On a summer day in the beach, Where we met first surfing in the waves wobbling

I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when we hit again, On a spring eve at the pub, Where we danced in motions like high on cocaine

I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when we mate again, On a autumn night in the motel, Where we spent our date in a drunken state

I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when we play again, On a winter afternoon in the hill, Where we made snow man and woman

I’ll bring you a song, my darling, when you say goodbye, On a rainy night in the highway, Where you  love to drive with the wind

I Want A New Love


I want to nurture a new love;
Tender like a childhood dream.
Encrypted with beauty of souls;
Devoid of earthly expectations.
I want to traverse the seasons,
in her solemn company forever.
Wandering through the miracles,
the earth offers us to experience.
I'll promise to build the world she
dreams to see and live until death.
I'll throw the coin on the fountain,               
to bring good luck for our journey.
Letting go of begrudging heartbreak, 
to provide an innocent feeling of hope.
