from the old stable...
she moaned - incessantly - as years unfurled,
hopelessness, desperation, pessimism galore,
a veil of darkness the sky wore…
……
Condemned!! Her demeanor, by one and all,
she begged - for mercy - an overhaul,
pleading, beseeching from door to door,
a position given, of no less than a whore….
……
A spell of ecstasy tranquilized her mind,
she rose- that day- with a hope to rise,
overcoming the lassitude, sanguinity at fore,
she rowed his rickety boat to the shore…..
An unchained melody filled her ears,
she rose- that day- transcending her fears,
breaking the shackles, bearing the pain,
life for her would never b the same….

Relativity
in a pile of mud she sits,
a child in her arms,
all bones, skin barely fits.
She looks up towards my building,
on a cane-chair I sit,
a spaniel in my lap,
cigar in my mouth, lit.
hmm...

Pebbles...
There it lay, exactly there.
Completely still,
no sign of movement even.
Trampled upon by people,
kids and adults alike.
There it lay,
bearing it all,
getting pressed deeper into the rain soaked ground.
Looking at it I wondered,
was it the heavy rain of last night
that had carried it along.
Or was it the work of one of those bratty li’l kids
who had mischievously thrown it over the fence.
Was it was just my mood
making my mind wander into a puerile direction.
Or was it just another one of those routine things
that I had failed to notice before.
With each careless step
it moved in deeper and deeper.
Pushing its way through the soil
to find a place for itself in the ground
………
As I got up to leave after a few hours,
it wasn’t there where it was, was gone.
All that was left in place
was its mark on the ground.
Looking at it I wondered,
was it the wicked gardener’s eye
that had caught the pebble.
Or was it the discomfort of the pebble itself
That had made him leave for the place it deserved.
