Compassion

I see a woman on the street
ready to thrash the leftover dinner.
A dog near by walks slowly towards her
to catch the bones
but the woman shouts at it
loud enough to halt it's legs.
Still the dog didn't moved back
instead looked back towards the puppies
who were waiting for the meal.
The woman too stood still
now some stones in her hand
in a serious pelting mood.
The dog feared but resisted
hurt but didn't left
The woman gave up
and walked back home.
Then the dog helped his puppies
to the meal point
and stood like a guard
while they were eating.
How amazing are the parents
all along with us ?

Perhaps, there is one good thing in me.
I don't succumb to Sunday's.

Mehendi

Here today,
the night is special
a decoration theme
says it all.
Many local melody
keep buzzing
on and off.

Laughs and cheers
are loud enough
to keep them ticking
and me thinking.

For a moment
that's worth to mention
worth to write
worth to share
and note it down
deep inside our hearts.

WEDLOCK

When two souls
turn into one
a lovely aura
and bustle of fun.

Scent of flora
here and there
the caravan of joy
that's how they care.

How sweet is this
becoming us,
and how blessed are we
for the day and everafter.

Limelight

Upon me,
this autumn sun gazes
through the falling chinars
alot of things amazes

at slow motion view
I laugh and gleam
all like a dream

Just few more steps,
the heavens are no far,
Yellow beauty, superstar.

This much
that tantrum
finally, we came into the sight

from nothing to something
we also shine
history perhaps repeated
or a mystery created

Once shown no light
now we are in a limelight.

Toothache 2

the pain continued
even after probing
I guess
I knew
it well before
and delayed it still.
kind dentist went for RCT,
RCT? the term I googled.
howled in pain
Seconds after seconds
screamed in silence
ache radiating
from the jaws
as I layed quiet
like incapable
The trauma rang
in my head
as I searched for escape.

-

Toothache.

sick of this
pain
I mean the
ache
crippled between
my jaws
and that's so acute
scary too
sometimes it goes
but comes back and back
pain killers
had a say
necessarily, not always
weeping but no tears
a rotten teeth fears
a kind dentist
had an answer
to drill it down
beneath it all.

sundaying.

a friend texted about
the Sunday plans.
At no time bothered to reply
and instead kept
that message unread.
I own this sheer
arrogance
and one after
avoidance.
I could, prolong
sundaying
for the self care
that's looming large
and will always wonder
why I haven't had enough
of this day.

WEATHER

What kinda
weather is this
neither the sun
nor the rain
a day before yesterday
it rained
So I put up an umbrella
Yesterday,
it was too hot
So again I open an umbrella.
But today is different
not sunned a bit
not rained an inch
grey skies
with humid aura.
go out
or better not go
yes umbrella
no umbrella
What kinda
weather is this...

-

Heat of the summer.

I feel the burn
all the way,
all day,
as the sun keeps firing.

Everytime the rays
touch my skin
so hot and fiery
like I am a flame.

Delicious feel the shakes
but lemonade fakes
even icecream melts
and the blue sky lies.

Humidity haunts
with every deep breath
only the sun looks awaked
and everything around soaked.

Evening scenes look nicer
not for me
I sit and settle
though fully drained.
