Heavenly Elation

As rains of hope
Stream into my life,
I look upon the mountains,
and see them green.
Near, far and scattered there
in unending curves, 
they spread a mat.
I bounce like a ball, 
carefree in and out.
Swinging from one tree top to another,
the monkey in me is uncontrollable.
The leaves listen to me and whisper back.
I m elated in heavenly euphoria.

Why was I late to bask in this chilling warmth,
that the mountain mist hugs me with, I know not.
It washes away my doubts and aches,
and leaves me pure like never before.
Green and white in blessed hue
fills me from my head to toe.
I look above.
He smiled and my world had lit up.
In this dawn, I feel the bliss
as his smile spreads its rays
on the mountain's bosom.
I realized, I was not alone;
Shaded with a veil,
Heaven had kissed his earth.

The red saree with its golden spots carefully spun had given bright colours to my dreams I had woven on yarns of childhood games. She looked like a bride in her bright red saree celebrating life with golden bangles, tingling the bell of festivity. She smelt of jasmine.           Now, her beauty is a blurred reflection of the past. The bangles are broken and red saree has faded. She now smells of kerosene that I had once accidentally spilled on her. Her smile did not elicit a smile from me. But I was tempted to pick her up from my closet. There she lay for seventeen years, uncared and...

Red signal

The light turned red.From a distant land,shot into reality,Sam applied the brakes.The black Scorpio's tyres screeched.Friction held it back.The dark lanky traffic police looked uncomfortable with a 'who the hell man' look.Sam took a deep breath. "I have no regrets.why should I?",Sam kept on telling himself.He searched his pockets for a cigarette and got one.He lighted it and took a puff.He felt a wave of relaxation soothening his tired muscles. The light turned green.Feet on accelerator.20..40..60...80km/hr..The Scorpio zoomed.Straight roads lay ahead.No traffic to bother him much.But just one thought.Should he go back?Should he appologize?Should he seek one more chance?He pressed harder. Chances come hard.She is leaving. "Amy is leaving the town."The accelerator almost kissed the metal. "Amy is leaving." The memories of Amy,once a force behind his being, was a 'parasite' feeding his thoughts. "We have parted.Now why should I bothe...
