Missing you


imageI wish to be in the greens Where the sky kisses the grass And when the thunderous cloud blows its trumpet Echoing the ocean’s call in a rumbling tone- I wish I was there and not alone Savouring the redolent earth, Drenched and heady With Jasmine, and Champak offering their fragrant wine.

She knew why


imageHe waited with throbbing heart ; He waited with impatience ; Counting the seconds.. And she came and passed him by ; Not looking not giving a glance, He did not know why..

A French Coffee Shop in Hachioji


image In a light drizzle An old French style shop, Wafts a warm coffee smell. A soft piano music, Quiet between An occasional Clutter of cups, Chopping of salad, A brief conversation, A pretty waitress In white and crimson dress, A drizzle of piano music And nothing else to do, No hurry, Just a quiet reflection ...

In tune with infinity


imageMy heart yearns for you; But silence greets me Far and near. In my heart of hearts I know Surrender! And you will be there. I know not where from I became; Nor where I shall end. Let the darkness of ignorance melt Let knowledge dawn on me, And let it be felt Small as my ... [full story]
