Cucumber with Sugar and Miso on top of Rice – I saw this recipe for the first time in the anime Barakamon, and then started craving it everytime I rewatchee it.

Spring rising

A lush green Thoroughly undisturbed And the bleeding gold Seeping through the crevices Blue and grey – An elongated spine Rising into the sky And a million hands, Comforting the spring Besotten shades of life. The nightgales singing With the rising tides, On this stone encased land The mellow music Sparrs with the wind And with mountains to cross We lie with the Dew ridden … Continue reading Spring rising

Reflection

Reflection She’s treading. In this weave of sparkling Laughter, we walk alongside, Baiting disasters. When the silence Was a melody that wanders The soul of mortals, parched, The company of a few Bequethes the gloom with a spark. On the side, it remains. The cynicist in every word The doubt in each smile, The broken parts Scorched with mellifluous Words. Its the reflection Caught between … Continue reading Reflection

Fable

In those moments, The fireflies took over the surface, And the stars whipped past the sky. I lie here, With the dewdrops of night, And the grass tickling my sides. I see you smiling, Looking up, It’s like your mind is wandering With mine; at the very moment Unleash the fairyland On which we travel, Embracing monsters And facing the dreams. I’m next to you, … Continue reading Fable

Yet, she is unbreakable, No, let … Continue reading Long poem: Unbridled Spirit

The Lady

Mood music (Tamil): Enna Solla Pogirai (Meaning: What are you going to say?) from Kandukondain Kandkondain (I have seen, I have seen) A beginning with no end, The tantalizing promise In the midst of this maze, With your words Barricading the space, She’s caught. For now. Forever, the northern wind, Ready to storm away. Wind the flow of time, The lady remains. A soothing lullaby … Continue reading The Lady

Stardust

I tried something different for this poem. It is an acrostic First Love, and has the same connotation related to stardust and first love. Hope you like it! From the begining of time Iridescent as we run, Racing pasts the worlds Silent little wanderers – Tracking the lost. Lingering, beyond the cause Overwhelmed, it was an instant spark; Venturing past the edge Eternally clad in … Continue reading Stardust
