Thought puddles

Posted on August 25, 2020 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

It\’s just a drizzleof ideasI try to catch the dropsand hold themGentle, refreshing…But rain gets heavierand lashes all over;I stand numbTo its increasing ferocityGetting joyfully drenchedIt\’s pouringThe thoughts come downAnd collect in small puddlesThe child in meawakens gleefully…I want to jump in themAnd play…Make paper boats,of my imaginationAnd see them float,in these thought puddles….

Five inch window to nowhere….

Posted on May 9, 2020 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

#smartphoneaddiction Oh you five inch window,Smart phone thy name;Post your insidious arrival,World will never be the same.. In the beginning you are an enigma,Like a harmless placebo pill;Until this realization dawnsThat you are a disease that can kill… Slowly creeping through my life and time,You possess my very soul…Harnessing my weak will,And utter lack of…

Judge me not…

Posted on August 25, 2019 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

I love the colour blue because it reminds me of the sky; Mama says don\’t play with boys I wonder why?! Dolls or dolling up doesn\’t interest me, I love playing in the rain wild and free..  Cropped hair does not a rebel make, I can\’t change my skin colour for your sake.. Flaunting my…

First Monsoon..

Posted on August 25, 2019 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

This arid desert, my heart.. waits for its monsoon; For those first few drops,of sweet nectar… For those shy glances, stolen kisses,friendly banter, silly dances.. Holding hands in small moments that hold on to you till eternity… For that first thunderstorm of unhindered passion.. Those magical touches ,crazy heartbeats..warm embraces, sweet kisses.. That feeling of yearning…

Book Review: The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth

Posted on August 25, 2019 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

( Disclaimer:I am too amateur a poet;To even attempt writing a sonnet..So please pardon this flimsy attempt at rhyme;No match to Seth\’s verses- wonderful and sublime…) I picked up this book on a whim;It ended up shattering many a literary paradigm..An entire novel written in verse form!!With prose so rich that it has an innate…

Mother Earth\’s Wild Child

Posted on August 22, 2019 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

A billion years ago in time, Mother earth was in her prime; Her womb was so nourishing and fertile, From it sprang life diverse with every mile.. The snow capped mountains stood tall in glory; The depths of the oceans told a different story.. From it’s waters emerged new life, Budding and blooming, bereft of…

The last puff..

Posted on August 22, 2019 by soumya.bharathi@gmail.com

I overcame your evil with my good, Narrowly escaping my grave, I shakily stood… You lured me in my teenage; For, I wanted to look “cool” in college.. I puffed you in every cranny and nook, Until like a furious chimney I began to look; My fetish turned into addiction full blown, Of self-destruction, the…
