Life From The Point Of View Of A Ghost
Life From The Point Of View Of A Ghost She moved stealthily, stepping ever so delicately, Through the eerie halls, Through the ancient, dilapidated castle. She enjoyed the blasphemous music, Sung by the pelting rain and noisy sleet. The horrendous winds rattling the window panes, Sounding like the cackling of a demonic child. Windows lit […]
My Tiny Tot Begins To Fly
My Tiny Tot Begins To Fly My tiny tot with twinkling eyes,Has grown into a bubbly teen.She is getting ready to rule the skies,And soar like a bird with wings. While taking walks in the days of yore,She would dance ahead of me.Now she is away from her dad more,Than she ever used to be. […]
An Ode To An Aspiring Pilot
An Ode To An Aspiring Pilot The stormy winds shake the aircraft hard,As we fly high up in the sky.I don’t feel any terror nor am I scared,For I know I am safe as I soar high. People around me stare at each other,As they perspire in severe trepidation.Fearful of the heavy drops of water […]
Joy and Sorrow: A Bird’s Eye View
Joy and Sorrow: A Bird’s Eye View Oh little birdie!Every morn,I would wake up,To your melodious song,Of love and beauty. I often wondered,Wherefrom you learnt,To sing like this?Did you learn it on your mother’s lap?Or is it God’s gift to you? The Maroon and Red hues,Of your patterned wings,Like coloured fans,Help you soar high,And sometimes […]
A Mermaid Speaks Philosophy
A Mermaid Speaks Philosophy I stood waist-deep in the waters,Of the raging sea on a rainy day.Ahead of me were massive waves.I knew if I did not turn back now,The waves would swallow me whole. I had just cremated my beloved soul mate,Of more than forty years of my life.I knew not how to live […]

The Utopian Globe – #BlogchatterBlogHop
The Utopian Globe – #BlogchatterBlogHop The globe in front of me,Is endowed with colourful designs,Representing continents and countries,Rivers, oceans, and mountains. It has a colour for everything,We find in this bountiful planet of ours,Which sustains life so reverentially,Life, not to be found elsewhere in the macrocosm. In this globe of mine,There are several demarcating lines.Each […]
An Ode To All Mothers
An Ode To All Mothers The dark clouds hovering in the sky,Burst with a loud and ominous roar,Pelting the earth with huge drops,Of pure water and heavy snow. A woman walked with broken steps,To find a lone corner or a war shelter,To give birth to her baby girl,Who wanted to come out of her womb […]
The Ragpicker
The Ragpicker She stared at her face,In the tiny mirror.Gone was the youth,And the beauty of yesteryears. Her face was withered,Her hair was a riotous mess.She was clothed in rags,And scavenged for food. She still reminisced,About the glory days of yore,When heads had turned,As she strode across the roads. She had posed like a picture,For […]
