Penance

Staying upright standing for a cause being myself letting my expressions divulge disapproval was pure folly.   The world was flabbergasted. They had not seen transparency and candor of this order. Blinded by truth, and fearing Doomsday they screamed ‘Murder’.   The few who understood chose silence It was the safest bet for a peaceful … Continue reading Penance

Beyond the ropes

You strangle me every night And yet, I breathe to survive and love you a little more…..   I will wake up some day to stop breathing And start living. The world will miss you thereafter.     Written for Daily Picture Prompt 5 https://allaboutwriting.net/2016/12/09/daily-picture-prompt-5/

Posterity

  Another attempt at Haibun (Prose Poetry coupled with a haiku) Did you say I am getting hyper about nothing? Have you ever seen the map of India? I see my country going up in smoke, and where is the top? Who is conspiring to hive it off? This country has seen the Partition, and … Continue reading Posterity

Shackles

Just take the first step The chains are made of dark smoke.   The embers died ages ago while you slept feet heavy with inertia and eyes blinded by illusion that you are cared for.   Revolution and rotation around its own axis are simultaneous. What kept you tied down while the earth moved?   … Continue reading Shackles

Across Space and Time

My first attempt at Haibun - a prose poem coupled with a haiku. Trillions of miles away from you, I wonder how the minds connect. En-route, the vibrations penetrate wind, water, mountains and trees. We ride on the same wavelength for a fraction of an hour. And then disconnect, to lead our lives in unconnected … Continue reading Across Space and Time
