You would think time had stood still,Yet the days will pass in the blink of an eye. My heart beats with every morning,Gratitude wells with every night. Late sun rises, bookshelves and nature around,Water fights, sprinklers and waves galore. I take time out to slow down with them,My heart beats with the sun that shines down. The mind rushes and…

Deathly Wisps Rooting Deep
Circles of Death The glimmer is shining bright, Little adults playing pretend, Talking about that stick That makes you cool. Tiny clouds that dance, Rooting within, strong and lethal These circles of death that surround you Pungent, colorful and wispy. Puffing rings that grow into circles, Tricks that bring laughter, Admiration from those around them. Pats on the back and even…
Baby Shower Thank You Poem
Came across this poem I wrote for all my friends after my first baby shower . It was such a precious day and a wondrous time, not knowing what the future holds.

Celebrating Childhood.
Janamashtami Poem Translation. Miracle of Birth, Brought up by unknown mother, Naughtiness Innocence, Won over the love of one and all. Troubling mama, Then loving with words, Scaring her with antics, Reaching heights in childhood. Lifting Govardhan mountain easily, Dancing on the head of Kaliya the snake, Always treating troubles as a game, Defeating even demons with a smile. Teasing…
Fountain of Youth
Statues lay beholden Still and relentless Embellished in rainbows Flowing waters ankle deep A solace from humid monotony Jolts of cool sprays marvel Mock protests ensue Beings glide, kicking, flicking Splashing, laughing Life pauses in these drops Glistening on the skin The sun thunders in vain Children play Gods Untarnished, untiring Squeals garnish the dull roar The moon will rise…
Sunshine & Shadows
A sliver of sunshine Through my window Falls onto my bedroom floor A spotlight in the dark Fascination anew to be the star of the show A finger grabs, fiddles with the afternoon outside A foot on each side Gingerly placed and tested Shadows flicker off and on Particles of dust dance on the tune of invisible air And we…
Waves of Life
Life is a wave that can swallow you whole And every stroke we take only takes us deeper still When it gets overwhelming and I am gasping for air You are there to hold me afloat Every single day I find a new reason To fall in love more and more Every giggle and chuckle we share Gives me strength…
Raped, Hailed, Forgotten
She fought, she scratched, her screams unheard Nails clawing flesh pain from pleasure. They kept on with their greed Testing fiercely, limits of humanity The roadside beckoned her last breathes The cold darkness above, the hot asphalt below Willing her to let go Stares passed on, uncaring Till a shoulder came forward for her to lean on Despair seeped through…
Birthday Beholden
A blissful day of existence, A time to cherish days on by, Tears and joys of reflection Wondering on every how and why To be able to be celebrate oh wow ! Through all the yesterdays, tomorrows and days endlessly blue To be grateful for all that culminated into a beautiful now. By those whose love is blessed and true…
Our Clay Beings Awalking
Hopes abound we start a journey Rampant notions tripping us often Dust settling on our transparent being Assumptions unsaid, Hurt unexpressed Comes a fork often enough Crossing paths with others different or same Some lighten our load with a smile Others kick up a storm cloud Through it all feet keep moving The world seems to enjoy its pace We…
