Marbles...

It was not made up of stone
or any baked clay
neither glass, porcelain nor agate
The endless joy of winning
my warm feelings & care
were it's ultimate constituent
It was the stuff making my day
concealing myself from dad
I used to play it till so late

Propelling it by that tiny thumb
to hit my favourite blue one
so as to drive it out of a circle 
Scratched on the ground
By some village lad
it was really fun to play marble

I remember handing them 2 my sister 
to save those all in my marble-box
while leaving my place for study
I had a memorable emotional draining
as if it was very close to me
I  miss them more after that tragedy
It was the sweetest recollection
and the worthiest possessions
that i had under my custody

Today the reminiscence of those
glazing and multicolered marbles
seems like fate's pathetic display
I can still see myself as a child
in the reflection on its surface
when i find one on my way

Return Me


I want the roots back
Though the tree has been uprooted
Return me the roof of my cottage
Though there is no pillar to hold it anymore
Return me that shore back 
Even though tide has erased the footprints
Return me the ashes back
If u have set my house on fire


Please give me back a relationship to her
Even if it lasts no more than a couple of days
Yet, it I want it...
Return me, return me
Return pieces of my dreams back 
Even if the you’ve broken it 
Still I want it back
Please give me back the sky over it
Even u have divided the earth
into thousands of kingdom
Thousands of villages
Return me the bloods from my broken heart
Even if I have killed my soul to restore it

Autumn Leaves

They have leapt over the branches
There are no more hurdles
for their impediment
Warm sunlight of the afternoon
Is now failing on the ground

The bleak wind is mourning
in commemoration
As autumn stepped into the town
& the leaves are dead
The birds are now eastbound

The broken leaves 
are leaving their beloved bough
And their cadavers are to be wrapped for burial
The tree is screeching with pain
But he is mute, you can't hear his sound
