Poem: Deep Inside My Heart


Deep inside my heart

there are secret chambers

filled with riches

rare and irreplaceable.

One has the laughter of my mom

in the other lies

heart warming memories of dad.

One of them is filled

with granny’s tender smile

and yet another has

an unborn girl child.

Breath taking sunsets, moonlit nights

glittering stars and eagle’s flights

are tucked in few to last forever.

While there are some

that I open never

they are filled with hurts and pain

with broken promises and tears that rain.

Deep inside my heart

dwells my inner child

who comes out often

and we both go wild .

Deep inside my heart

is an empty space

where I slip away sometime

to find solace.

Shut out from world

away from the crowd

It’s my very own secret

hiding place.

Deep inside my heart

your love reigns

which no one can take away

no one can claim

there you and I

weave our dreams

where life is an ecstasy

no agony no pain.

Deep inside my heart

is another world

Beautiful, untouched

build with care and love

My secret hideout

my treasure trove.

Poem: Animal Inside Me


Lazily you stretch yourself

your sinews strengthening mine

O Tigress, your power runs through my veins

and the gleam of your alert gaze

reflects in my eyes

You are the mother

serene and quiescent

at the sight of your blissful cubs

but fierce and ready to battle

if the danger strikes

Your resilient power

like a spring within me

uncoils to fight injustice

prejudice, and crime

Your presence grows stronger

With each passing day

Beautiful, wild, untamed

you reside in me

We abide in healthy bounds

aware of our limitations

merging beautifully

Me as you and you as me
