Unexpected Sunny Afternoon
Sitting on a wooden chair
I stare at the silky white papers
A sudden sharp glint of sunlight hits the surface
Words on the paper now crisp and clear
My diamond ring glitters onto the page
Flickering rainbow and glowing wide.
Don’t be bashful, come full strength
Past the clouds, pushing through
Like the god of the sky.
Simple pleasures of a quiet afternoon
Sunlight and yellow
Emerging in full...
To live, breathe and exist
Let’s add eternity to our trivial hours, give a sense of infinity to our finite existence. Let’s be great at what we do always, every day. That will be our legacy.

Fraudulent Morality
I see you
Hiding behind lonely desperation of quiet sufferers
of my time.
I see you
Looking wary, dark and brooding
Weighing every cent of kindness thrown your way.
I see you
Counting luck like counting nightly stars
Abundant everywhere to each one but you.
I see you
Wishing this morning would leave you alone
As you stand by the doorway hating the isolation you chose.
I see you
Smiling secretly...

Life gives you lemonades
It’s interesting really how much you can resist happiness just to have the habitual pang of misery in your life. Optimism all of a sudden doesn’t come easy, which is really disheartening because you want to be engulfed with happiness and optimism all the time.
It’s a tough tough road and some days, it’s brutal. Actually, it’s brutal most of the time. It’s hard...

On Giving Up Charlie
I quivered back and forth and made the call
You were sitting on my lap just a while ago
Beautiful calm blue tort
Floppy ears and the sweetest touch
All was silent
I made the call.
In the carrier you gently sat
Quivering, like me at first
Then calm as the ocean at night
We set out together.
I walked the longest walk
I spoke to you, asked for forgiveness
‘Remember, mommy and daddy loves you very...

The Passive Struggle
First we struggle from the womb to come out and take a look at this world; then we struggle to catch words and form language in our mouth; the struggle comes to impress our teachers and trying not to make eye contact with the girls or boys in school; Next comes the pressure to win the race and be the best in everything; Then the awkward one with trying to establish shy communication with the one...

A Shallow Grasp On Things
I want your equanimity.
I want your sense of cruelty.
I want your judgment every time a tear falls so that I can look just as bored and turn away.
I want that carefree self-absorbed righteousness.
I want it all, so I can smash it to the ground and beat it till it bleeds.
Maybe, just maybe then, the human heart might pant and come out.
