Story of Love

May 9, 2020
‘By what time will you be back from college?’ Ma asked, nonchalantly. Preetha looked up from her books, her stubborn curls falling on her fair cheeks. She knew the purpose of this question. Her whole body wired up for a retort but she lowered her head instead and chewed…

#Home

May 9, 2020
For, I have traveled Far and wide With strangers and friends By my side One thing I have found is this Home is where the heart is Neither the mountains Nor the streams Or the darkness And moonlight None makes me wake warm and bright As the mellow from my own windows…

#Unspoken

May 9, 2020
I had kept a jar full of hope and faith For the day When you would stop by And we would begin, where we had left Our late night conversations I kept your favourite cup of tea, brewing And a few books we liked to discuss, bookmarked The evening light, dimmed just the…

#Finding Love

May 9, 2020
What do those Rustic pages hold for you? I can see, A bookmark peeping through, Handpainted ? Why do you always carry it In that rumpled brown bag of yours? There, I see a tear glistening A storm brews in But ah! that smile How do you do that Even when you are falling…

#Waiting for Rains

May 9, 2020
The sun sears through my closed eyes My parched throat Looking for the elixir That gives life I look up in the sky The yellow ball of fire Relentless Unforgiving and seething with anger Looks back I am walking on a barren land The greens have all escaped Is there a…

#Letters

May 9, 2020
My fingers tap On vibrant screen aglow And yet the romantic in me Yearns for something written Painstakingly with busy hands That seldom have time to pause I crave for the smell of a folded letter The creases telling many a tale They tell me if you were in a hurry Or…
