Mirage

Enthralled by your friendly smile

I inched closer to you every time

Spectral voices confirmed love;

I did feel something of the same

But as I leaned against your heart

 Saw each beat resounded her name

Also, presented below are some excerpts from my second book ‘Swati’s Marriage And Other Tales Of India’ published by Modern History Press, USA-

• 'The silent movement of the moon, in different shades of white, almost every other day between the grey-black clouds, along with the various intermingled sounds of tiny creeps from frogs, a few birds, and strange insects I have never seen, keep me company when I stay up till late to ponder over something or solve crossword puzzles.' - "Birthday"

• 'Life can definitely be not very lovely when you lie on an empty bed, all alone, between crumpled sheets, burning like a cigarette. The heat gets hold of your thoughts and you cease to think, cease to breathe, and lie like a sea shell that the ruthless waves suddenly kick out of its habitat before they disappear back into the ocean where they belong, without even giving the poor lone thing another chance or a second look.' - "The Return Gift"
