Traipsing past the grey monument, Where our humble tale bears residence, Mr. Baker’s kid doth whistle a tune, The last tune he would ever whistle; 'Twas not death that did greet him, but silence, For the sight that his eyes witnessed, Petrified his being and he ran, like a hunted foal To his home, to...

The Rider On A Scarlet Eyed Horse
The snow was dancing merry, The wind leading the way, Singing in a howling symphony, The night wavered the day. “Come”, whispered the marauder, To his comrades hidden behind; Dressed in thick woolen white, The plunderers looked upon the prey. The village slept in snowy stupor, Huddled in blankets two fold, To lullabies of a... Continue Reading →
Cassius’ Wrath
Clean thy soul of purgatory, Thy heart lies corrupted, Mighty Power reigns supreme Within thy grounds of ambiton; Sweet Hatred doth take a stroll In thy garden of judgement. Veiled art thou, The world to thou is a folly. You harbour colossal desire, Thine ambition touches the Alps. Thou should die, tyrant! Thy blood should... Continue Reading →
Blemished
The trees shook with fury, The air blew with mighty gusts, Creatures took refuge As He entered the garden, The garden of living souls Thus, 'ere begins this tale. Ages back He had walked The same garden with elation, Tumultous welcome He had enjoyed, From all, sans man. "Created I have beings in multitude", He... Continue Reading →

Slumber brings me to her... Continue Reading →
Storm Breweth
Savage clamors in the air, The waters trembled with scare, The winds resonated across the plains, While the trees trembled in pain. The moon tried to peer, Through the clouds dark and heavy, All in vain, all in vain, The darkness to earth was too dear. Merciless, it rained, Upon the shadows of... Continue Reading →
Fireflies
Alit Nocturnal delights, Lit Natural splendor, High Dreamy flight, Yonder Sparkling eyes, Glowed Winged ecstasy, Amidst Dreary foliage, Exultant I gazed, They’re Fireflies.
Ride To Home
Tingling down the alleyway, Along the stone paved path, Pedalling past the ancient houses, Whistling, I rode my bicycle. Merrily waving at the woman, She sat with her tea at the chowki, Tired and drowsy from the day's toils, Yet her warm smile lighting up the dusk. The smell of pepper in the... Continue Reading →
Secret
Still in the night, Greetings light; From a distance, Defying any existence; Hushed whispers, Ruffling their whiskers; Floweth like a faucet, We call it a secret.
