Every smile that she bore
Masked some emotions and fears.
Behind it, lay a plethora of,
Unspoken words and feelings.
Her soul remained sealed
Beneath the deceptive smile you see.
The mirror was her soul sister,
As she revealed the bruises...
The colours of fall,
Captivates us all.
Ushering the onset of winter,
When snow falls pitter patter.
The trees get ready,
To face the snow, all steady.
They probably know,
The leaves can't stand the snow.
Is that why the leaves ripen?
And...
A stroke here and a stroke there, or
Raising up the level of a building, or
Testing one's taste buds, or
Igniting the senses within, or
Swaying to the tunes and beats,
The true artist lies within.
Arouse that little...
Bhramagupta, my father, named me Shunya,
Which means Absence.
Did he give you the right
To use that for failures?
I add value to digits
And make them grow ten-fold.
I depict completeness,
As I start and end at the same...
Those big bright eyes,
Looked so spirited and high.
They shone with confidence,
Grit and perseverance.
The kohl laid eyes did hide,
Something so deep and wide.
From the world and near ones,
As they couldn't guess even once.
Those eyes, so...
Ideas and thoughts that
Nestle in our minds and
Kindle our emotions,
Inking them onto paper,
Neat and crisp, oh!
Keyboards can't do that magic.
Idyllically holding the pen,
Nursed with ink of any hue,
Kaleidoscope of imaginations emerge.
Forests,
So dense,
And so deep.
You
Nurture creatures,
Big and small.
Your
Depth speaks,
Mythology and epics,
Civilizations,
Inventions, progress,
Of human race.
I
Oft wonder,
About our existence,
Sans
Your rich
And majestic presence.

The battlefield bore a deserted look,
With lifeless bodies strewn all over.
Some were sans heads and some sans limbs.
The mud was soaked in blood,
Not sure whose it was though.
The mighty king of Kalinga,
Stepped out to...
