Walk on
Crowds bustling, Sounds resonating And You stand alone! A deep silence, An infinite chiasm, A dark abyss! You look for a lone ray, A shaft of hope. You hear a kind word, A decibel reaching your core! And, You walk on, A lone traveller, On a road unknown!

Eccentric
Life with its eccentric elan, Sends you in a tizzy. You pause to catch your breath, But you get swept in its whirlwind. You want to stand and stare, But it refuses to let you procrastinate.

A serried tale
The serried twists and sharp turns, Ensheathed in a veiled canopy , That hides its dazzling sheen, From those that envy its resplendent allure, Unsurpassed, Untouched. It beckons you, Tantalising, Mocking that you can't you reach it, As you want it all the more. You just walk along in tremulous fear, Gingerly circumventing the folds,… Continue reading A serried tale
