Divine Contraption

He sits in broad daylight, surrounded by pleas and promises,

Looking at His creation this abundant with hits and misses,

Staring back at rows of folded hands and whispering verses,

One wonders if He too feels trapped behind bars like the rest of us.

A victor's call

I have come a long way, I have faced many a storm,

I have crept out of the shadows, of every written norm,

I stand here, O! passer by, to get your attention for a blink,

I have done my bit to be different, now it's your turn dont you think?

Mothers Meet

An unseemly sight, this rare union of two givers,

One headed to a shelter perhaps, or a milestone another,

The other one, possibly, with little hungry ones back home,

How does one really distinguish one mother from the other?

A Rose forever

Set against the rumble of melting metal and coal,

She stands besotted by her own delightful treat,

It is true, I thought, as I witnessed this flower roll,

A rose by any other name, would still smell as sweet.

Divine Rain

Behold! Here is a sight, that is a cure for sore eyes,

As the sky meets the Earth in a shower of shimmering lights,

Where does the divine end? And where do humans begin?

Is a question I look for, watching this unique embrace of the mights.

Rebirth Cycle

They came gushing, like an army of ants,

Following one another in that brief capsule of rain,

Only to end up, vanishing into their Mother's bosom,

And begin yet another birth to join the clouds once again.

Unlocked Bliss

In a life this ordinary, in a time this desperate,

One wonders what the secret of true bliss really is,

Until a metaphorical reminder comes across quite late,

That wealth is a grand way to unlock life's meaningless abyss.
