‘Lilies of the Valley’

‘Lilies of the Valley’

Lilies of the Valley is a bunch of lilies (fifty in number) carrying along Lily Swarn’s lilies that she had planted in her own literary garden. These lilies not only cart social issues but also spiritual messages. It seems that one enters into the garden of lily beds, each carrying a unique look with a […]

Narrative Prose Poetry

Narrative Prose Poetry

I am writing this piece in a layman’s diction without employing technicalities to make it easy for the art lovers. This piece of writing is purely based on my limited knowledge and hence it may evoke criticism which to me shall serve as feedback and I am keen to learn from all sources. Prose poetry is a hybrid technique which brings at fore, a […]

State of gloom

State of gloom

Hope is a gateway to contentment

From the clouds who shall come to life you up, waiting for the shadow better than breaking it. Nothing was apt to create excitement, no innovative joke, no thrill to surprise, no gesture to lure, nothing at all was working to make my colleagues to laugh, even lifeless chairs and boring tables couldn’t help to […]

‘Gulshan’

‘Gulshan’

Lapping of a river, hiss of birches, melodious call of sparrows perched on hanging birches tossed by wandering gushes, murmuring of waves hitting the edges of shore, breaking the silence of lonesome Gulshan, sitting on the outer projection of her hut, the only place to wait for her father who would come home with a […]

Basking in the royal sunshine

Basking in the royal sunshine

How trouble-free it is to pin down imperfections when one stays back in the air-conditioned room to scrutinize footage of those basking in so-called ¬¬- royal sunshine. A wonderful creature is a man and when given a chance not owing to his talent, but for being good for nothing to occupy a seat by default […]

Paint your canvas before the colours lose gloss

Paint your canvas before the colours lose gloss

 Let ye thy flock guide and train  cross the river before the cunning fox shall take care of the rest. Pity! A flock wrapped in silken tassel is grazing under the romantic rush of golden grass. Grazing for a cause. A handsome fox behind the silverbush whistles and sings to lure the flock. Its words […]

Magical Mirror

Magical Mirror

Just after a few threads of serenity rebuked well written ordain of my ego, I let the bubble of fury burst. The bang like my quiet wreck, bashed likewise.  No one was troubled save my spirit. What made me walk leisurely up to this majestic mirror columned opposite to my desk? Something happens and just […]

A Mug of Hot Coffee with Me on Sunday Afternoon Next

A Mug of Hot Coffee with Me on Sunday Afternoon Next

The old and cracked coffee mug in my kitchen once again winked at me. I ignored. Once, twice but third time the wink was romantic in texture. How long one can pay no attention to the old love! Third wink did the trick, lured my sanity, filled my eyeballs and above all raised a wave […]

Weird Worms and Indiscernible Insects

Weird Worms and Indiscernible Insects

The lavish touch, this gloss and grain of my rich and royal gown is afar lexis. Finesse of fabric persuades my obsession to kneel down at my brittle knees as reaction to involuntary action. The lace of fairy feathered rim mesmerizes, stimulates and hoodwinks a feeble wish lying in the backyard of this monumental mind […]
