The unscripted Life

"You cannot script everything",
she had written,
"coz it is Life after all."
these words in black and white,
in the tranquility of morning
incites the 'wondering chord'
in my head.
I live everyday without a script
and yet I am awed
by the idea of Life, unscripted.

The dark orange ball of fire
decides to take some rest
after having toiled hard through the day
burning at its best.
The blue sky then covers itself
with a velvety black sheet
sometimes accompanied by the Moon,
where scores of stars greet.
I lay down on the green carpet of grass
counting the twinkling stars,
one after the other, I now lose count
when the gentle breezes pass.
Soft and balmy,
they wrap me in their arms
carrying me along to
a world of wonders and charms.

The Tempting Territory of Unknown...

I swim on the surface
close to the shore
As far as sight goes
everything's blue and nothing more.

Deepness of the sea,
invites me
to uncover the mysteries,
eager to be seen.

Charmed I am,
as it would open a door,
a door into another world,
the unknown it stores.

My mind races forth
as fast as sound,
what if I embrace completely
the new world and never be aground.

Do I leave behind
what I already own,
and head towards the Tempting
Territory of Unknown ?

As beautiful as ever !

A few stars
jeweled the sky
till a little while ago.
Taking my breath away,
the reluctant orangish Moon
has now found its way.

Life : A maze

A maze
set by You.
Born in this world,
how do I evade
the labyrinthian alleys of life?
All emotions and feelings entrap me
thus weaker I become.
When the tone is set
or so I think,
when life gradually unfolds its mysteries
or so I believe,
next moment it betrays me.
Why do You put us
through such a maze?
Why are we here? What purpose do we have?
Questions abound.
Answers evade.

Eternally yours...

I hark back in time,
I rummage through pages of my life,
To recall that one moment
When I first lay my eyes on you.
As far as you could be,
You must have winked at me
With those eyes
That I so dearly carve out
From millions of miles away.
There is something about you.
You have been there with me
Since I was a little girl.
You have walked along my journey, my life,
Shedding light through dark nights
And I still wonder
What is it
That has kept me spellbound
And will remain so, forever.

The magical world of my Mom's Idlis :)

No words put together
can create that world,
a world of magic
that my Mom creates,
not with words
but with her hands.
When she makes
those Idlis.
What's the secret recipe?
The ingredients we know
remain the same
but what she adds
to them
is her love and soul.
When the Idlis
melt in my mouth
I cannot thank enough
my stars and my Mom
to have woven an indescribable
world of magic.

At the platform

The lady announces
Arrival of a train,
Not mine!
People start pouring in
And suddenly,
The abandoned platform
Bustles with activity.
Right in front of me,
A young college couple?
So I assume,
Try to be as discreet as possible
In showing their affection.
But could they evade
These observant eyes?

At a Platform

Trains came
Trains left
Monkeys came
Attacked a few
With food,
They ate
They left too.
Platform stays,
Along with it
I stay too,
Waiting for that
One train
That is not the only one
To be running late.

An ancient book
Shields in it
Mystery of
This entire world.
Buried deep
Within the expanse
Of Earth,
How does it,
The mystery, reveal itself?
