There was a time in our lives
when we thought of the raincloud
as omen, spoiling the day
for us to play in the open.
The rain fills the street canals like rivers.
And if it has stopped, then hurriedly,
we rip pages from our notepads
to make us- paper boats.
We were so young then.
We are fond of races. We will race [...]

To this semi-privacy. An epitaph reads,
“in this sanctum, a restless, herein lies,
its opaque remembrance failing to breath
devoid of oxygen, rousing to the grind
like a zombie of the worst kind”.
Against the ancient cracked walls, my fingers
will then, smear red letter stains of anguish.
The light bulb is my flickering moon
cocooned in cobwebs, I dread.
It went dead as [...]

The earth became
a lacerated vision
of shallow heaven,
after the rain. T’was
a parting time,
a moment lost
when the big sky
agonizes over
the summer sun.
And how the bamboo trees
sadly waving goodbye.
And the monsoon winds
blew gently,
creating ripples,
mirrored patches
and misty glimpses.
A sea of blue.
It was all-
in the photograph
capturing puddles
reflecting clouds
travelling by.
It was all-
that I keep
as a remembrance,
of a big sky
hoping for the [...]

Crossing the pedestrian lane
whip lashed by the breeze.
He came by- unmindful
of the roaring traffic.
Green light blinked
turning yellow-
still he walks, only inches
away to his own shadows.
Merged in the crowd
in the heat of the sun
with eyes transfixed-
one solid direction.
He goes without turning.
He goes without swerving.
He talks without sound.
Keeping distance.
He exist but can’t be found
in the sea of [...]

I am a bit choosy with the music I used to play in my playlist. Bluegrass and country genre is a daily staple of my waking music life. I have fallen in love with the soothing voice of Alison Krauss since day one, when I heard “Now That I Found You” and her own rendition [...]

Today, I am enjoying my brisk walking in the sunshine, walking through the noisy and hurried crowd of departing passengers at the kerbside of the departures entry. Then I pass by the arrival area. There, the throng of people are waiting for their acquaintances. For their friends. For their families.
These are everyday occurrences here at [...]

The tides finally embrace
Its long-time lover
Immaculately veiled
As it marches. White
Kisses soothing
The parched
And the laden.
The joy of the morning
And witnesses throng.
The sky’s tenderness,
spreading its golden feathers
Waving in jubilation.
With wind songs joined
In chorus by the seabirds
Of nature’s pure harmony.
With sun’s soft light
Sealed a promise
Of love’s eternity.
This secret place
of your shores.

I am sitting here. Stranger as I am. Finally, this is the freedom I always wanted. No one obliged me to be here. Just as my whole being in its truest moment. One with the wind and the sea.
I am sitting here. Just letting the blue sky engulf me. As I record each frame of [...]

September will leave me
with the aroma of this earth,
and the patch of grass
signals the equinox of life.
In a nostalgic note of melancholy
as the raven standing by
lulling me a dirge
of last summer symphony.
Soon, forest fingers will be cold as ice.
Sheathed in layers and layers
of the old northwest wind.
Like pirates of the [...]
