My Mother
She watched me grow with glowing face
Who walked with me, at my pace
Her tranquil touch taught tenderness
Whose sweet smile brought togetherness!
She always ran to cushion my fall
Who responded at my every call
She smooched away all my fears
Who whispered endearing words into my ears!
She shed tears of joy at my little feats
Whose heart with my achievement beats
She added veracity and color to my dreams
Whose lilac love in my eyes gleams!
She sat by my side silently at night
Who apprised me with my future bright
She could even understand my defiance
Whose pride glimmered in my triumph!
She gave me wings and watched in delight
Who never thought of her own flight
She loves me beyond measure, I know
She sacrificed for me all her glow
She lives in the smile of every flower
Whose sweet shade pervades this bower
I return to it, to feel her presence
To live her laughter, in the real sense
Her sweet smile still beckons me
Nostalgia often grips me to see…
A mother’s love is the true treasure
Only now do I understand in full measure.

Oasis Of Peace
Blooming blossoms, whispering wind
Carried me far into the haven of peace
Solitude softly spoke in serene tone,
We welcome weary travelers alone
Divesting dirty robes of dissent
We revel in the glorious sun
You too can embrace this light
Just follow it with smiling delight
The light that enlightens the mind
The light that permeates all around
Adds new dimension to thoughts
Guides us out of those knobby knots
Illumines those innate virtues
When we try to shake them off
In annoyance, in rage, in resentment
Leisurely hours are wistfully spent
Rejoicing in the new found glee
We sat and shared upon His knee
Palpable peace pervaded all around
Into which all dismay drowned.

Protected: Why I Walked Away…
Dead End?
Attracted by the rosy path
Littered with little primroses
On both the sides…
I took this journey.
It seemed so fascinating
To tread the unknown trail
How could I forget the elation…
The warm words of assurance!
Words…empty words?
Leading me into unknown ventures
Little help, just soft silence…
Pretense of leading, guiding.
This seems to be the dead end
Alone in the wilderness…
Staring at the desolate way
Congregating courage to trudge.
I sit gagged, staring into space
Towards the wilderness
The horizon so close
The rainbow so alluring
Forgetting that rainbow is transitory
And the horizon – a delusion
I still move on!
Who can question my mettle?
Who can doubt my optimism?
Who can distrust my capabilities?
Of making new pathways
Dead end is nothing but an illusion.
