Love That Does Not Need to Merge

-


 Beneath the sea where patience lives,

A blue whale moves with quiet grace.

Above the world, a sparrow sings

Of wind and light and open space.


The bright sun crowns their meeting hour,

Spilling gold on wave and wing.

It watches sea and sky draw near,

Then gently pull from everything.


They meet where sea and sky agree

To touch, but never intertwine-

A boundary clear, yet honest still,

Like love that knows its own design.


“I cannot fly,” the whale says soft,

“But I can stay, and I can hear.”

“I cannot dive,” the sparrow smiles,

“But still, your song is always near.”


At night, the moon takes silent note,

Stitching silver through the tide.

It learns that love does not require

Two worlds to merge or coincide.


They do not ask to change their forms,

Nor wish the other less than whole.

They learn that love is not a cure,

But the clear knowing of a soul.


The tides rise faithful to the moon,

The currents carry ancient truth-

That some hearts move in different ways,

Yet pull each other all the same.


The whale gives depth, the sparrow height,

They trade their truths, not wings or fins.

Like humans loving across lines

Of fear, of time, of where life begins.


A sudden rain falls sea to sky,

Soft tears no one must explain.

Then arches wide, a rainbow forms-

Proof beauty grows where limits remain.


When storms arrive, they do not cling,

Nor beg the world to make them one.

They stand while thunder splits the dark,

Still choosing love when comfort’s gone.


The breeze carries the sparrow’s song

Down to the whale’s eternal blue.

The ocean hums it back again-

A vow the distance never knew.


For some loves are not meant to fuse,

But to expand us—heart and sight.

To teach us how to walk alone

While loving someone in the light.


They part each day, return again,

Not lesser for what they cannot be.

Their love is not in shared worlds,

But choosing truth-and letting free.


And so the sun, the moon, the tide,

The storm, the calm, the shifting sea,

All stand as witness to a love

That asks not “mine,” but “let you be.”


And in that choice, so brave, so rare,

They find what many never do:

A love that honors difference-

And still says, I choose you.

The Eternal Sketch

-
Image
  In the hush where words dissolve, life softly draws its lines, Silent sketches turning through the veins of endless time. Each line becomes the language born of dreaming minds, A shadowed dance unfolding, subtle, yet sublime. ****  Breath whispers secrets only listening hearts can hold, It shapes the unseen futures drifting in quiet spheres. Each fragile line, a vow that gently will unfold, To craft the unknown paths beyond our doubts and fears. ****  From embered souls arise the sparks of guiding light, Kindness glowing softly through the depths of longest night. They stand as silent beacons shaping what is true, Forming worlds from visions held in something new. ****  Through woven threads of time, the generations grow, With hope and memory in currents that still flow. Fragile dreams awaken in the dawn’s first grace, Carving out their paths through darkness into space. ****  And in the hush where all beginnings find their place, Life draws again with quiet, ...

Lines of Silent Becoming

-
Image
Life draws its lines in silence, with ink no eye can ever see- unseen, yet etched in every breath, a quiet script of what will be. ✦ ✦ ✦ Lines become the language of imagination, written in the flowing ink of thought, tracing paths where minds may wander, where the unseen is gently caught. ✦ ✦ ✦ Imagination breathes new life into the world, its ink shaping what is felt but never shown- turning shadows into meaning, giving form to the unknown. ✦ ✦ ✦ From life emerge good souls- bearers of a deeper, living ink, quiet fires in the vast of time, teaching hearts to feel and think. ✦ ✦ ✦ From them, civilizations rise and evolve, written not in stone alone, but care- in the ink of hope and memory, in dreams a generation shares. ✦ ✦ ✦ And still, in the quiet between all things, the ink has never ceased to flow- life begins again in silence, writing all we’ll come to know.

Where Are You

-
Image
  Where are you now, in shadows that I keep? Your voice remains, where silence once could sleep. I walk alone, through memories we made; Each step I take, feels like it starts to fade. The nights grow long; your absence lingers near. I hear your name, in echoes sharp and clear. The dreams we built now drift like shattered glass; I hold on still, though time continues past. I search for you, in every empty place; In fading light, I almost see your face. My heart still asks the questions left behind- But no reply brings comfort to my mind. Where are you now, beyond this aching view? A part of me is lost, and lives with you. Though life moves on, I’m caught in what we knew; Still whispering: “Where are you? where are you?”

The Lion of the Ring – A Tribute to The Great Gama

-
Image
In mud-stained pits beneath the sun, Where battles of will and muscle are won, A titan rose from Punjab’s pride, With steely gaze and thunder stride. From humble earth, his legend sown, A spirit forged, uniquely grown. Ghulam Muhammad was his name, But “Gama the Great” became his flame. A boy of strength, a man of might, Who never lost a single fight. No challenge too grand, no foe too tall, He answered determination's call. Like a mountain unmoved in stormy breath, He stared down fear and danced with death. From court to court, they heard the tale, Of warriors bested, strong men pale. He faced the giants, one by one, And left a legacy bravely spun. For courage blooms where doubts retreat, And victory follows tireless feet. He struck like lightning, swift and clean, With balance sharp as a blade unseen. No boast, no crown, no scripted tale— Just grinding years and iron scale. Each muscle earned, each triumph forged, A silent promise, deeply gorged. This is the path of t...

When a Nation Bleeds

-
Image
Do you hear it- not the gunshot, but the silence that follows, a deafening void filled with unwept tears, heavy as grief that refuses to be spoken?   A nation did not simply lose a man that day; it misplaced its conscience, its soul slipping through fractured fingers. The earth drank blood- not as nourishment, but as poison- meant to water the seeds of peace and watch them wither in the shadow of hate.   Yesterday, freedom danced- a fragile flame in borrowed sunlight, its bangles ringing with hope- a melody of what could be, a promise whispered in the breeze. Today, the same hands tremble- unsure how to cradle the future, haunted by the ghosts of what was stolen.   We thought history was finished- sealed in books and statues, immortalized in stone and memory- but we forgot it breathes- it bleeds- through us, in every silent prayer, in every broken promise, in every unspoken apology.   A father fell- his last breath a question- etched deeply on the...

The Condom is the Conundrum(A Poem in Many Voices)

-
Image
They said in school, in chalk and charts, "Be smart, be safe, protect your parts." We giggled then, too young to see The veil between "just you and me." We laughed at packs with names like "Fire," "Ultra Thin," "True Love," "Desire." The wrapper popped — a rubbered rite, A killjoy in the heat of night. My friend Funny voice: “You got one?” “Yeah.” “It’s old.” “It’s fine!” We fumble through the great design. It squeaks, it slips, it feels like doom — Mood-killer king of every room. But pause — beneath the clumsy jest, A softer truth begins to rest. My poetic and Romantic voice: He touched her face, she touched his hand, Two people trying to understand. Not just protection, but a vow To guard the love they’re building now. Yet love’s not always soft and pure — Some use, discard, repeat, endure. My Dark voice: A stranger’s name, a motel bed, A life unlived, a word unsaid. The condom shields, but also shames — A whispe...

The Unfettered Path

-
Image
  The Unfettered Path The path is chosen, clear and bold, A story finished, to be told. If steps decide to turn away, Don't linger where you cannot stay. No lingering touch, no backward glance, No whispered "if," no second chance To tether spirit, hold the chain, And welcome old, familiar pain. For freedom waits in open air, Beyond the doubt, beyond the care Of what was lost, or left behind— A future only you can find. So if you leave, then truly go, Let current flow, let new seeds grow. Unclench the hand, release the hold, And let your purpose then unfold. In tangled roots and withered vine, No blossom grows, no light can shine. But in the fertile soil of choice, A thousand flowers find their voice. The echoes of what used to be Are whispers fading in the sea Of memory’s gentle, drifting tide— A call to leave the past behind. When hearts diverge, and paths divide, Let quiet grace become your guide. No phantom touch, no lingering plea, Just honest tru...

The Path to Your Own Light

-
Image
  In the vast and winding journey of life, There are shadows that can dull your light, Silent pitfalls dressed as friends, Whose presence can turn day to night.   Beware of those who leave when needed most— Their absence is a ghost, a silent ghost, They vanish like mist at dawn’s first glow, Leaving your heart heavy, feeling low.   Trust is a fragile bloom, easily torn— Those who break promises, leave you forlorn, They shatter your faith, betray your trust, Turning bonds into dust, into broken rust.   Smile bright, joy alive—yet some cannot see, Your happiness pains them, sets them free— From envy’s grasp or bitter despair, Their hearts are closed, their minds unfair.   Negative words like arrows fly— They pierce your spirit, make you cry, These voices pull you back, hold you down— Turning your crown into a thorny crown.   Support is a gift, a gentle hand— Those who abandon, who fail to stand— Leave you to struggle, to face the stor...

Wheels of Wonder – A KSRTC Journey

-
Image
Beneath a sky brushed soft with rain, Rolls the red bus through hill and plain. KSRTC— not just a ride, But a moving canvas, countryside-wide. Its engine hums like an old folk tune, Crooning through dawns and drowsy noons. It weaves a tale on asphalt threads, Of spice-scented hills and lotus beds. A silver flash where rivers gleam, A whispered prayer, a waking dream. Yet not always swift, nor perfectly true, Its journey often pauses, for me and for you. From its classic crimson, bold and bright, To newer blues that gleam in light. It starts where temples bless the air, Where  Padmanabha  rests in prayer. The bus pulls out like a pilgrim’s thought, To places the dreaming traveler sought. Past East Fort's gates, where history breathes, And Pazhavangadi's  floral wreaths. Through Sree Chitra’s halls and Veli’s breeze, Where art and lake hold hands with ease— The red wheels  move slow, like a page turned old, Rich with legends, bright and bold. Then southward slides to K...

The Architect of Scars

-

  The Architect of Scars **** ***** ***** ***** **** The tree does not become shade until a burning sun stands overhead. The stars do not become guides until the night surrenders to darkness. ****  The mountain does not boast of its height until the valley is cast in its shadow. The river does not sing of its strength until it meets the stone that would stop it. ****  We are built of what we have weathered; the glass is forged in the furnace, the diamond is born of the weight that the earth refused to lift. ****  Forgiveness is a word without a voice until the wrong has been done. Patience is a ghost in the hallway until the clock refuses to strike the hour. ****  We look for the sunrise not because dawn is beautiful, but because the cold has settled in our bones. We reach for the hand not because we are weak, but because the path has grown too narrow to walk alone. ****  So let the wind howl against the timber; it is only then the roots learn to grip. Let ...
