Secret Solace

I hear sounds of a  thunderclap I look at the day darkening up I feel the wind picking up speed It's drizzling light Dampening the grounds I sit up,catching The aroma of fresh wet clay I stand up Moisture filling my eyes Reviving my alive self I wait.. Till I can hold it no longer I run down the stairs Moving around pillars Singing to myself Letting myself get soaked to skin Letting the curtains of comfort fall all over me.. Wet hair clinging to my face I look at the swirling clouds above And the raindrops dancing around me. Lifting my skirt I whirl around Letting my bangles jingle Letting my anklets tinkle.. Gathering up this happiness And drowning myself In this fanthomless ocean of calmness I wish I could lay back down like this forever Holding this moment near to me I wish I could keep it close forever As close as dreams are to gaze As close as love is to heartbeat.. The drops are falling.. Falling so fast So soft this time.. Patching up m...

True friends are a gift from God In their special ways In our hearts they touch The deepest of cords.. True friends are sweet and pure Their love and care upon you,they bestow Such species are hard to find They are,indeed,rare of a kind.. They fight with you,laugh with you Immediately at your side if you happen to cry They may irritate you,criticize you,yet A reason enough to celebrate That,they are standing by.. They laugh with you in your happy times Get sad when you are low Seeds of love in your life For,forever they sow.. From an abyss of grief,they pull you out Your bad memories they steal away.. In your weak times they hold you strong Never once,letting you sway. Friends,they may be Of your childhood or teens Only a thought of them Warms your heart deep within.. They are the ones Who hope for you against hope With all your miseries they elope.. They promise to bring you warmth Like the sun who promises brigh...

This air Of love it is This aura Of faith it is Whatever will happen,will happen But right now This warmth Of hope it is I don't look back,I don't look ahead The wind is beckoning me towards it As this breeze Of zeal it is I go ahead With eyes closed and soaring feelings Tunes pleasing my heart A flame burning inside me And the flame,to my ecstasy Of rapture it is

I wish I could stop thinking,stop procrastinating,stop running to do routine errands,stop chasing never ending deadlines and for once above all stop slipping into a half awake sleep after snoozing my alarm several times every morning.Oh yeah!you get me right.I want to stop everything right where it is,whatever it is and however important it is.This was my state last year when I called my husband up and asked him if we could spare some time to get away from this frenzy,crazy place.What I heard then was enough to send me dancing down an alley for hours together.He had planning that himself and was about to suggest that to me as an option to celebrate our first anniversary.Oh!happy me!  We attacked the Internet like hungry animals,explored several options and after a lot of brainstorming we settled down on Temi(a place in Sikkim),owing to its visual appeal and excellent promise of good weather.Temi is a small town,just a 2 hour drive from Gangtok,mainly known for its tea gardens(...

My fancy has a little home Floating on waters,in a city of lakes A world in miniature,tiny and perfect Floored by trust,and,walled by love Every morning I go picking up apples Wearing flowers in my hair Measuring my path with springy steps Whistling down the wind Not a speck of ugliness around,I find Alacrity in my heart arise Lost amongst vapours of enthrallment I tread back home,each day,all the more wise My home,where I can have Moments of pleasure wrapped in music of my soul Days of tears and delight Fusion perfect,for making of a rainbow Moments rivering loveliness,slipping into our hearts Pooling our lives with love liquored Stroking my tender dreams I revel in vagueness I am younger,oblivious yet To the sands of time What days to come shall reveal?? The way I dream them to be Or shall they lead up some other hill?? I have yet to see..... Veiled I am,to the Time and distance of this revelation It's okay.. But Oh!!This world of my dream...
