Like a Silhouette

Our togetherness The universe seems to bless Don't you see, my dear?   The dark, starlit sky, The still waters of the lake, Reflect our pure love.   Swirling around you, With the cool, musical breeze, I feel ecstatic.   Resting myself on Your broad and...

The Box that Spoke

The camp wore a somber look As the dark clouds of sorrow shrouded it.  The waft carried the stench of smoke,  Drenched in metal, blood and flesh.    As the smoke settled, the boxes came alive,  Wrapped in tri colour And ready to go home,  To the family that was...

Word-e-scape

Life ain't a bed of roses for all,  As thorns lay sharp for some.  So was it for this little one,  Who was confused with his identity.    To the world he was a 'HE',  To himself, he was a 'SHE'.  Torn between this he and she,  He forgot what he should see. ...
