Introducing my new blog- aswordsfly.com

 I have always enjoyed writing, reading and, poetry just came along the way. Never thought I would ever love poetry like this but here I am. There's not a single day without poetry.

I have a blog now dedicated to writing. If you happen to come across this post, I would be happy if you have a glance on my other blog. Although, still at the beginning, it has articles and the thoughts that I wanted to share that is not just the poetry. 

I like to learn, evolve and kind of like simplicity as it takes a lot to stay simple and authentic. So, I will be writing what comes to my mind. 

Here's the link-

Hope you have awesome time reading and basking in the warmth of words :)

Poem in VISPO Gallery 2023

Happy to have my poem featured in Sonic Boom VISPO Gallery 2023.

Thank you dear judges- Shloka and Robin 

DRIED RIVER

 One glance at the pebbles and stones and it felt as if they knew where they have always belonged, even though lying around the waiting river sunken to time. And I pondered for a long while how simply nature takes its course and how long I have been away from this realization.

feet buried deep
in the desert sand 
fading lights
this place I'll always 
know, as my home

Paper Airplane

Folding the reality
in a paper airplane
and let the wind carry
it away
far away
where nobody
can see it
nobody can
hear it

Dear Grandpa

The sparrows are quiet now and there is this emptiness in the air. A Lion has gone, a true warrior, a man of dignity, a legend, my grandfather...rest in peace dear grandpa  🙏


the petals of
bougainvillea
scattered here and there
it all seems dark now
even on a full moon

Tanka : Published in October 2021

 

running out
of ideas
I walk slowly . . .
watch a leaf going
down the drain

Still...

in the stillness of

 autumn morning 

the ripples 

of my questions

 in the lake

A Pine

a leafless pine-
some poems
are like that too
just before
they turn green
