*****************************
winter rain
the calm metropolis
from the first subway train
*****************************
fading light
the couple start
for their secret haunt
*****************************
sickle moon
at the river corner
cutting weeds
*****************************
warm embrace
between her and me
her week-old son
*****************************
tired eyes
flipping the pages
for the dancing numbers
*****************************
if only the
sea can be calm
this troubled world
*****************************
winter wind -
rivalling
the freshness of my mind
*****************************
unrequited love
i walk over the
fields and spots
the tears i still
keep to myself
*****************************
empty church, just
pews and a solitary me
praying and joining god
in savouring the whispers
of my own prayers
*****************************
in minutes the night
sky was a grey blanket
the moon and stars rubbed out
this sad page of my life
i wish god to turn over for me
*****************************
bright red roses
pinkish lilies
fascinating floral colours
i think about mom's kimono
the one that too got my heart afflutter
******************************
silent night
all spoilt by the silent night
carolling
******************************
after the storm
a headless snowman
still standing
