The setting sun, and the mourning moon, Worked together to create a legend, The moon called the night and stars, The sun called the pallet of various colours, And they splashed the entire mixture on the sky. With stoic mountains and bitter ridges framing the canvas, And happy hills and whimsical clouds filling it up, … Continue reading Twilight

Wistful Thoughts
If the world was less cruel, With kind eyes and happy faces, No schemes, no taunting, no fiends, Just happiness and lively lives. If the world was unpredictable, With everyday a new adventure, Every other moment full of adrenaline, Every day a beautiful moment. If the world was different, And I was able to fly, … Continue reading Wistful Thoughts
War
There were five of us this morn, Only I remain as the sun goes home, But here I stay, in the frontier, Amidst the prison made of bodies, Shivering, hungry, cold and almost dead, Knuckles split, and nails broken, Lips parched and eyes bloodshot, Shell-shocked and uncomprehending, The flicker of hope, all but gone. The … Continue reading War
A Handful of Night
The meadow is young and virile, The sky has an elegant pulchritude, The faint smell of pollen dances in the wind, Pines in the distance sing their choir. The night is alight with winking stars, The night is aflame with passion and beauty; A dance of elves and fairies, a fantasy of its own, While … Continue reading A Handful of Night
Discussions in a Bar
I went to a bar. I sat. I observed. And I saw the following: “Nay!” called out the philosopher, “You are a lie, a conundrum,” “Just lie in your bed and go to sleep,” “And the morn will show the truth,” “Whatever truth may mean” “Aye!” called out the scientist, “’tis a mystery, but thee … Continue reading Discussions in a Bar
Eden
The greatness bursts out, A myriad of colours, A beautiful explosion of life, An angry catharsis, Followed by beautiful Eden, A time and place of life, Of plenty, of happiness, Of wonder, of exploration, Of greatness. But plenty is always fatal, and Eden shrinks, Mindlessness grasps life, the higher handle fails, Journeys bound out to … Continue reading Eden
Creation
Creation is a curious thing. It is the very thing that has had people scratching their heads for the past millennia or so. It is the higher order of inexplicability and the pinnacle of supreme beauty. It is the tower of order in the huge pit of chaos, it is the wonderful euphony amid the … Continue reading Creation
Music
Abstract, yet changeable, Intangible, yet stunningly real, Vibrations through the air, Beautiful amalgamations of pitch and strength, Intensity and frequency, Free from the material world, Yet a part of the same, Beautiful creations of nature, And the creations of her creations, Through heart and soul, The meaning of everything; Syllable, and tone, A flowing river, … Continue reading Music
Poetry
Now, words are amazing creations; no doubt about that particular thing. But they are so very hard to control. The speed of thought and the speed of articulation through words has a huge gap between them, and therefore they are out of phase in most instances; not in sync. Now, this poses a huge problem: … Continue reading Poetry
Words
What are words? Merely strings of meaningless letters bridging together foreign ideas. But, that is only but a superficial view of the enormous power of words. These little pieces of abstract intangible things hold amazing power over the human psyche. One can compare and label words as anything: a weapon, an expression, an enemy, a … Continue reading Words
