Evening Song

When the sun was setting

between coconut leaves,

kites were going crazy while flying

right above the horizon

just below tinted clouds,

mynas and parrots were screaming

and singing on their way back home,

sweet monsoon breeze was mixing

fading sunlight with fluorescent

lights of the garden

and illuminating each evening walker,

I sat on the stairs of a medieval mausoleum

savoured the perfect moment

and celebrated the fraction of forever

Crush

The face jumps

Back and forth

Sideways and vertcally

Into the subconscious

In my dreams

Between daydreams

All over waking hours

How strange it is

To have connection

With a certain stranger

- An unknown entitity

But a known face

And an undefined emotion

- What an inexplicable event!

 

So I am happy

My mind is occupied

Proves that I am alive

Though still a fool

As if I’ve not moved beyond

Those confused teenage years

- Still dreaming, still hoping…
