Experience diluted

Experience Diluted

The song was heard,

the singer remained unseen;

behind bobbing heads...

Straddling two worlds

To let go of the old,
and venture into the new...
there is curiosity to explore;
yet wariness of the unknown.

Coy Maiden

Slowly she moved to hide behind the veil of clouds...

Reaching out...

Reaching out...

sometimes one has to

be invisible and yet be there,

be silent and yet be heard

reach out without touching...

Where did all the moments go?

Where did all the moments go?

Some days go by in a flurry,

from morn to eve

its a bustle of activities,

No time to stop, no time to notice.

Between Y'day and Today

Between Y'day and Today

Yesterday stood an edifice here
today razed to the grounds
Y'day there was noise and laughter
today deserted and silent
Y'day walls, tiles and roof
today stones and rubble ...

Homecoming

Homecoming

the little boys were coming home

stooping down with bulky bags,

swirling their lunch bags in war

renting the air with piercing shrieks

Growing up!

Growing up!

The child fell down cycling.

He got up, brushed his bottom.

He saw his mom, and bawled out loud

The mother walked up to him unhurriedly

gave him a tight slap!

The boy mounted his cycle and rode off...

Making Amends

Making Amends

Are you annoyed? Are you offended?
For words that were not uttered?
For deeds that were not committed?

Street Performers

He flung the baby up into the air
and then caught him in his palm
the onlookers gasped and turned away
the baby chuckled in glee!

July Is here!

Listening

Listening to the footsteps that never arrived
Listening to the knock that never struck
Pausing, listening, waiting...

Silent Music - Stone # 61

His fingers played on an invisible key board
on the pages of a notebook
scribbled with musical notes
Lost in a world of Silent Music
oblivious to the sounds and stares
in the crowded bus stop.

Freedom- Stone # 60

Freedom?

Captivity of the mind is stronger
than shackles wrought of metal.

Where's the director/ producer/ script writer?

Change the dialogue!

Searching- Stone # 58

Searching

something that is lost
where is it to be sought?
Find it within?
where is within
I know not...
I ask from without

Dead End- Stone # 53

somebody just picked up and left
no goodbyes, no farewells

the onus on those left behind
to trudge through the quicksand of life

Lonely Journey- Stone # 52

Lonely Journey

Every person trapped in a bubble
caved in by diaphanous walls
A fleeting illusion of togetherness
