A reader's mind


The world is different
When you walk through it.
It has something to say
to add to our knowledge.

Spiced aromas
that greet the Persian streets,
Balming purity
that surrounds the forests.
And Fragrant frangipani
screaming attention.

The world is different
When you listen
It has something to say
if only,we can perceive its white noise.

Cicadas that hide
in the weeping willows
Whooshing of the oceanic waves,
Chilly breeze that runs through the mountains
and the shrill wing whistle of the humming bird.

The world is different
when you look at it
It has something to hint
to add to our processed collectibles.

Humongous glaciers white as a sheet
Oasis in the middle of Sahara,
Rafters that cut through the Ganges,
History and art; modern and contemporary
brought to justice at the Guggenheim.

The world is different
when imagination empowers,
Vivid analogies it stirs,
if only you feel what you read.

Heightened senses that unravel experiences
Can one expand their horizons;
More than the expanse,
of a reader's mind!

The Prodigal Observant

That day, the earth was drenched. The gloomy sky, Dripped drops of purity, The water, untainted Nuzzled my face calmly. Wondering what this feeling evoke, I peered at the world, That stretched above me,  Like a trampoline,  my heart spread its wings The horizon was unseen, The sun lost in tumult. My eyes soared and explored, Only to be mesmerized, By the magnificent play... Of colours that glided, The world above was shielded, With vibrance of love, With a sense of empathy, That challenges perception of man. A pair of birds that flew, Brought me back, The rapidly firing neurons,  were now conscious of the land. The Prodigal observant knew, what the world beneath lacked! Like a new born star, I perplexed  The universe unravelled, It's magic began to seep, In me, Life began to reap. x

1,2,3 STOP says the sign of RED. 20 seconds of pause; In life ,without loss. The momentum staggers to stop Cranky men don't like to halt. Adjusting her braid, the little girl rests; on her father's back, she finds a cozy nest. Soundless bickering of newlyweds, Are they wondering about the bedspread! Doesnt lie, does it? The clean window glass of a shiny bright car. Donning his hat,grumpy gram looks dapper, I ponder, if he hates the same rapper. Oh, look a dream catcher... Alas! A fellow hopeless dreamer. Restless feet and restless fingers, Unpaid bills of spendthrifters, In sync go our mindless jitters. Are they tired of running, just like me, are they glooming? Are we all in the same race, just a mild difference in pace! And, 1,2,3. GET READY hints the glinty YELLOW. Unsaid problems and unknown solutions, Mighty humans hit their starters, Ignited engines roar together, A melody of mutual supporters. 1,2,3. GO says the growing GREEN, Familiar bo...

Lily in my garden.

Rare are occasions when the heart melts, the deceptive element ends, and the distance between us is more than just a drag of miles. Things that were left unsaid, Feelings that were untold, And memories that couldn't be formed. My mind ponders whether it was meant to be; For you to get to know me. Or was it meant to be, For my repressed heart, To open up and fly, To invite you to peep, In the deepest nooks Of my broken heart. Rare are occasions when the mind settles, With just a stir of cheer, That these dragged miles, Can be flown in and out. That, Things will be said, Feelings shared, And a lifetime of memories , Waiting to be formed. Like the Lily in my garden, I live every day, I don't even care, that the day might end. Because the Lily in my garden, Tells me everyday.... " Fight for life, fight for love, and fight for every person, Who you know, Is just right"
