Pretty Face

Red Lips,
Big wide smile,
Hides pains,
She carries in her heart.

Lotus shaped eyes,
That shine in her eyes,
Conceals those tears,
She had shed last time.

Her pink cheeks,
Painted by layers of makeup,
Burying the scars,
Caused by years of struggle.

Her dark black hair,
Wavy and Curly,
Though she wishes,
It were straight and perfect.

Her long legs,
Every girls envy,
Which she protects,
From her self doubts.

Her pretty face,
Round and full,
Slight wheatish
But nothing ordinary,
Yet she feels unhappy,
Comparing her own beauty,
With standards set by virulent society.

I Write Stories

I  write stories,
Of childhood fantasies,
Wisdom and morals,
That touch your heart.

I write stories,
Of orphaned girl,
Looking for love,
Throughout her life.

I write stories,
Of lovers separated,
By their political views,
And bureaucratic family.

I write stories,
Of oppressed Kashmiri Pandits,
Who lost their land,
And everything they cared,
To the tyrannic monster.

I write stories,
Of girl next door,
In search of Mr. Right,
With her friend,
Who is head over heels for her.

I write stories,
When I am very happy,
I write stories,
When I am very sad,
I write stories,
All the time,
While sleeping or wide-awake,
While walking or sitting,
While eating or drinking.
And When the passion is high.

I write stories,
Of horror encounters,
With spirits so evil,
Revengeful and spiteful,
That can give you nightmares.

I write stories,
Of an anxious man,
Who never steps out,
In fear of being dragged by a monster.

I write stories of boy,
From small town in Thailand,
Who becomes a girl,
At local crowded bar,
To earn quick money.

I write stories,
Of bored housewife,
Who chances upon solutions,
That can solve million problems,
Of country she belongs.

I write stories,
Of a warrior,
From Vedic Age,
Cursed by powerful sage,
To be born as mortal.

I write stories,
Of troubled youngster,
Who falls in trap,
Of false beliefs,
And becomes a terrorist.

I write stories,
Of beloved pet dog,
Who runs away,
In quest for adventure,
And becomes a hero.

I write stories,
Of spiritual journey,
Of  chauvinistic  atheist,
Who turns into devout bhakt,
By the mercy of God.



I write stories,
When I am very happy,
I write stories,
When I am very sad,
I write stories,
All the time,
While sleeping or wide-awake,
While walking or sitting,
While eating or drinking.
And When the passion is high.

Cravings

Hot chocolate on chilly rainy day,
Tucked in blankets from top to bottom,
Watching favorite movie on rerun,
Is what I crave right now.


A long drive on empty roads,
At the midnight,
With stars twinkling in the sky,
And my beloved on my side,
Is what I crave right now.


Sleeping peacefully on my mum's lap,
While she sings a lullaby,
And brushes my hair softly
Is what I crave right now.

A new adventure,
To place undiscovered,
Making new memories,
And friends who will be besties,
Is what I  crave right now.

Watching a horror movie,
On Friday the 13th,
Relishing how good wins over evil,
Is what I crave right now.


Cravings are desires,
Sweet and spicy,
Innocent or naughty,
Increasing the adrenaline,
With every passing minute.
