A Heavenly Hug

My winter was not frozen, this time
November was a rain of romance
December was that warmth of relations
January is indeed not frozen
Bringing the warmth of hope
Waiting for the visit of my little angel
She is floating in the flux of fluid
Wandering in the warmth of womb
Swimming her way to the light of life
From her pristine prelude to life 
Bouncing on to my bare bosom
Wonder! My winter is not frozen
When heavens played swaps with the seasons
It’s celestial shower of sunshine in my life
She is dazzling as divine…pristine as petals
For once, the lily laments
And the river ruptures
For want of beauty and serenity
For, my little angel stole it so innocuously!


(* wrote a few days before the birth of my son in January, 2015. “She” in the poem is a gender neutral reference. Happened to be “Him”…dazzling as divine…pristine as petals!)

An Epitaph for Future




Past will never die…
Lives like the eternal; the perpetual prick
Present will one day become that forgetful past
And will not ever die
Future is the only mortal, certain to perish
Uncertain to bloom….and exist
Let’s mourn for the future, the futile mortal
Preserve the ethereal past…
Celebrate the ailing present
And lament the ephemeral future!
