Reality

Fate needs no rendition.
Our love no fruition.
Joy needs no manifestation.
Society no explanation.
Reality is but an illusion.
For those with weak vision.
For truth is in mind’s creation.
And the soul’s levitation.

Sage Stylesheet

Impressed with the panache of the theme “Quentin” (Theme has been changed on “special” request), I decided to modify my Sage stylesheet to look as close to it as it possibly could. Sage is a Firefox extension for reading RSS feeds, and appears in a list of my favourite extensions. It lets one choose a [...]

Transient Joys

I have left our town behind.
But you are still in my mind.
I travel alone through the day.
But its like with you in a sleigh.
I sleep in the still of the night.
Only to dream of your sight.
Looking at these lovely flowers.
I remember those precious hours.
Around me there is a lot of noise.
I sit calm, feeling transient [...]

The Recipe of Success

The following is the unedited version of a poem I wrote long back. 4 years, it’s been. Its rather long, so just a couple of lines here.
….Its a world of fluctuating fortunes
In seconds oceans become sand dunes….
That is the Almighty’s and elders’ blessings
That act as gorgeous garnished dressings…..
Follow the following link for the full poem.

Abosulte sedation

Alas! I can’t till my mind anymore.
To produce fruits of creativity of yore.
The rains of instinct have long been away.
The river of inspiration has gone astray.
I tried borrowing few seeds from next door.
But plagiarism I was told was reason for abhor.
The well of confidence has remained shallow.
And I can’t pretend it’s another year of fallow.
I [...]

But Peacefully

As the wind blew by almost tickling.
As the moon shone bright almost revealing.
As the city erupted with joy almost frantic
As the terrace remained lonely, almost romantic.
I missed you so much, almost dearly
But then I saw you there, almost clearly
Shining by the moonlight, almost angelic
Wearing that smile, almost beatific.
You stood there still, almost tempting
I ambled [...]

Linger On…

The fragrance from the drowning incense stick,
The dimming light from the dying wick.
The last rays of amber from the setting sun,
The final morsel of the only bun.
Please linger on, linger on, linger on,
How would it be when you are gone.
I don’t know, but I don’t want to think,
I want to pretend that I wont sink..
How [...]

New kid in da block

I do wield my quill once in a while in an attempt to draw a few lines. Not ruler straight. But hand-drawn.
The door, a new kid.
Speculations amid.
The pretentious while.
A frown, the smile.

First day, First show

Push da button, and off we go. Blogging really is instant moksha, by the digital bodhi tree. I wont say as a blogger I have grown wisdom teeth yet, but it sure has been a long while since I shed my milk teeth. Gee! But hey with every new start, there are those additional drops [...]
