RADHAKRISHNAN KRISHNAN

From this phase to that phase,
Navigating through tangled maze,
Through society's intolerant ways,
Forward & backward at reckless pace.
...

Though it's against macho men's norms,
I have no qualms,
To be attuned to her every crazy whim,
And fill her heart with joy to it's brim.
...

In ever expanding landscape of our lives,
In those desperate drives and strives,
Running relentlessly after mirage,
Alas! ! can't see through this camouflage.
...

Croaking of frogs & chirping of crickets,
Fireflies lighted up those dark thickets,
Howling of wind and trembling of trees,
Frighteningly calm was icy winter sea.
...

Through the wrinkles of time,
I feel that glow when I was at prime,
Spirit prisoned inside withered body,
Breaks free of age's tyranny.
...

Hearts connect and emotions intertwine,
Her soul echos to the soul of mine,
Love housed in heart's inner shrine,
Bliss envelops us when souls entwine.
...

Locked up in spectrum of fantasy stories,
Hiding in arcane prism, away from worries,
Beyond vanities, fights and desires,
In world of romance where reality retires.
...

Incomplete stories of many,
Half-written in life's journey,
Adventures slipped through fingers,
Memories of them ceased to linger.
...

Chasing multitude of whims,
Forgotten was life's maxim,
Caught up in whirlpool of wishes,
Dreams of 'hits' turned in to 'misses'
...

Catch them if you can! !
Can you peel off deception?
House of lies have strong foundation,
To master the art, they make preparations.
...

Along blips and dips of times,
Endless road and wailing chimes,
Repeated offences and recycled crimes,
Wars for pennies, nickels and dimes.
...

I heard what she hasn't said,
I saw her cheeks go red,
I looked at her eyes to read her soul,
Listened to speechless speech in whole.
...

A palace with a golden dome,
Would it make a haven or sweet home?
Here lives a king without his queen,
Life has lost its bliss and sheen.
...

Passions rose as high as waves of tsunami,
Setting wild fire in our anatomy,
Would it be just a momentary urge?
No, it is emotion fueled inner surge.
...

Wounds, grave and still fresh,
Inflicted on soul not on flesh,
They bleed unseen by eyes,
Unheard goes its cries.
...

Ah, My feelings and your feelings,
Under their weight we both are reeling,
Some sprout from the core of the heart,
Some are results of malicious thoughts.
...

Touted as one-of-a- kind festival,
Of our raucous democracy, grand spectacle,
A congregation too of anti-socials,
A blemish, making it grim and woeful.
...

Consoling, exhilarating and appealing,
Astounding, jaw- dropping, mirror- cracking
Oh, beauty, thee provokes us in many ways,
Compelling all to gaze at you with amaze.
...

Canine took a stroll with feline,
In 'Love at first sight', they did align,
Their names are Freddie and Fluffy,
Their relations often get topsy - turvy,
...

Fog wrapped around his mind,
Tattered thoughts refused to unwind,
He starred around with a blank eyes,
For him, existence of Sun or Moon is a lie.
...
