An Artist’s Night
Something inside me burns furiously.
Does it reside in my heart or my soul, I wonder.
If it is in my heart, they tell me,
To let it devour my heart of all hope
For, that will help me seek the ultimate truth.
If it is in my soul, they tell me,
To let it burn my soul to the ashes
For that is the price of being an artist.
At night, during the full moon,
I weep.

A Farmer's Sin
*Note: Dedicated to all the farmers from India who lost their battle with life.*

Bleeding Woman
I rob everyday at home to please my master,
I cook whenever you order,

As I walk towards my school, a drunkard stares at my body from top...
Red Rose
I want you, oh my dear, I do,
As you are the most beautiful creation of our lord,
I want to see you often, oh my dear, I do,
As my poor eyes have not seen anything like you,
I want to kiss you, oh my dear, I do,
As your lips are the most delicate thing I have ever seen,
I want to smell you, oh...
Love At First Sight
On a lazy Sunday afternoon, while silence was aloud, while the wind was playing with my hair, I saw her...
She was sitting on a bench, lonely, quietly, restlessly, with eyes as red as ruby & with hands as soft as feathers…
She was beautiful, like an angel in disguise, descended from the heavens,...
Loving You Was Easy

Loving you was like rain in the summer,
Loving you was like making a baby smile,
Loving you was like sunshine at night,
Loving you was like watching the sun at night,
Loving you was like forgetting myself,
Loving you was like trying to know a stranger,
Loving you was like discovering myself,
Loving...
