a son's question

My son walked up to me

this morning over breakfast

and innocently quizzed me

with an spontaneous question

I brushed it off momentarily

Should I say it was silly?

He turned and walked away

and got into his infantile plays

It did not matter to him

that he did not get an answer

But somehow

the question kept ringing in me

over and over again

only to reveal a deeper depth

in a seemingly childish question

and when I contemplated an answer

I realized, I did not have one

Don't

wn.com

Don't tug at my friendship

It’s like a rope

Strong yet tender

It can snap

If yanked

Don't play with my dreams

It’s like an egg

Playful yet delicate

It can break

If not cared

Don't bungle up my hopes

It’s like a glass

Crystal yet fragile

It can shatter

If mishandled

Don't cheat on my trust

It’s like a rainbow

Beautiful yet elusive

It can fade

If hoodwinked

Don't disturb my faith

It’s like a cloud

Clear yet dense

In can engulf

If perturbed

Don't break my heart

I don’t know it is like

But it’s so tender and fragile

That if it breaks

I would be no more

A recipe

Till one's mind like a land
Lay beds of proper mood
Sow seeds of desired success
Let some goodness grow

Nurtute it with determination
Prune boughs of jealousy
Uproot ill feelings like weeds
let no negative influence impair it

Spray doses of humour at times
Aspire heavenly blessings like rain
Let unity spread its recoiling roots
all through for a good harvest

a winged guest

A sparrow came flying

as I idled my hours at home

and rested on my window sill

and warbled a sweet unknown song

Did it mean to tell me something?

or was it just a warble for me?

I couldn’t comprehend the tweet

Albeit it was euphonious to catch

Thanks, little feathered guest

for the melodious chirps

that brightened my momentary being

What best than to live the moment

 

A human soul not a doll

insightempire.com

Let me tell you, my friend, this is life

to be lived in happiness, not in strife

Life isn’t without its ups and downs

but can’t we just rub out the frowns

Smoldering with hatred on the brow

with a sweetly twinkling reassuring glow

Things should be perfectly alright

So long you trust the other and not fight

You don’t really win a war by fighting

nor enhance a relationship by slighting

Cherish the intricacies of a matrimonial bliss

not radicalize your bonds to go amiss

Human trust cannot be mended once broken

Don’t aspire to eat the fruits that’s forbidden

Strive not to kill two birds with a stone

The infidelities, no one can ever condone

Beware! Handle with care, it’s a human soul

You are not playing with a lifeless doll


This one came out after a friend of mine cheated on his better half  and their marriage got on the rocks. Hope it patches up soon

The path I walk

trekearth.com

This path I walk

every day of my life

Familiar winds blow

Fallen leaves rustle

Swerving trees

greet me

Every day as usual

And a rose bloom

The blooming rose

glorifies my life

glitters my path

in bonded familiarity

and curious beauty

I trot this path

ever hence

in happiness 

and contentment

but now, gradually

the rose is wilting

day by day fading

the warmth is vanishing 

and coldness spreading

Mystery overwhelms me

as no hearts speak

and no words I hear

My thoughts dwindle

Will it vanish totally some day?

Fading Whispers

Filling the voids of the empty mind

Avoiding the fleeting realities

Dabbled in some unborn thoughts

Images are but mirages in a desert

Nagging at the passing intricacies

Gone are my feelings with the winds

When emotions vent out from within

Hunting for a magical wand of words

Intoxicates the sweetness of ones being

Searching for smiles in unsure frowns

Partaking the touches of a forsaken heart

Evading the saturated pukes of mockery

Rainbows appear only to disappear

Sweet are the songs of a fading whisper

A night of snow fall in Thimphu

Sun long gone

Street lamps are up at task

Night is unusually dark

and its brutally cold

Heaven has opened it mouth

and wafers down the softened jingles

Wow, it falls down in soft flakes

like dandelions in the air

I retire to bed in heavenly bliss

and dream myself in heaven

I wake up brightened

and I see the specks settled

I contemplate my musings

Broken dreams again

canstockphoto.com

My dreams

are broken

Pieces of shells

so sharp and cutting

lie strewn

in murky emotions

of a ruined  heart

My plundered thoughts

lie submerged

in an ocean of tears

the rainbow has vanished

without a  trace

Beware

Don’t gather the pieces

of my broken dreams

unfriendly and sharp

It might slash you as well
 

Lonely chair

blogs.myspace.com

Won’t you come

sit on the chair

by my side

The chair had been

lying empty for so long

silence is singing its song

Come let’s share a chair

at least for a while

for we cannot share a journey

Help me subdue my thoughts

taking flight to obscure horizons

Just a poem

image credit: self

Syncing

thoughts

with feelings

aloft

heart aches

and

ebbing dreams

of a fragile heart

Delving

deep within

for reasons

Scouring

far and wide

for

words

My partake

of sunshine

rain and winds,

Summer

Winter

Spring

and even the fall

all familiar

yet distant

close

yet far

I don’t know

what illusive realities

and confused feelings

are all about

only this poem

takes shape

and even poems

are less poetic
at times

At your heels

dabacon.org

 

I am at your heels

making all efforts

to catch you up

to keep my pace

in tandem with you

I need not trudge

if only you turn back

wait for me

and take me along

Won't you do so

Shall i keep trudging?
