As the crazy one sat on the beach, He knew a tale has begun, When the Moon showed him, The ballet of a dove, The smile of a shooting star, Song of the waves, Touch of the mist, The aroma of love, And the heart of the sun.  Read More...

I was ever a warrior, so, one war more.   The best one and the last too.   The bugle of war which the humanity inside me was procrastinating since long has finally started blowing on my door.  I would hate that death which gives up my victory before this war is fought. Won't die sile  Read More...

I look up to the sky, I see millions and millions of stars scattered effortlessly upon the dark night sky. Just by looking at them, I can feel the warmth, comfort and love radiated by each star.  I wonder why do people make a wish to a falling star? Why do they expect good things from something  Read More...

As we begin our long climb  Leaving the dusty roads behind  Topsy turvy curves of the hills  It surely makes our heart thrill. We reach the land of white orchids, Kurseong town  To witness cheerful faces all around  We look below and see the fleeting clouds  A blessing  Read More...

Days with a coin
By Tanya Soni in Poetry | Reads: 548 | Likes: 0
Where did I go wrong? It's been 7 years since I first saw you. How jubilant and flamboyant you looked,  How timed I was to say the first word. But it seemed like we got connected from heaven, How instantly we grew a bond, How our time together flew away. How we came so close that a day without   Read More...

Meeting you was destiny, everyone keeps telling me. Forty years later, I am still not sure how to react to that comment.  A perfect, lovely, 'I-wish-well-for-you' destiny wouldn't have left me to be a widow in the first place.  An 'I-care-for-you-so-much' love-line on my palm wouldn't ha  Read More...
