Underneath the pain
In a Country by your side
Underneath the suffering
That so many sleep to hide
Underneath the tremors
There’s no Mother for a child
Underneath the rubble
Is what’s left of broken smiles
Underneath the bridge
Is a man without a home
Underneath the moonlight
There’s a child who cries alone
Underneath the remnants
Children played without a fear
Underneath the blanket
An infant clings to life [...]

When the night is falling in France,
I gaze at a beautiful star,
Dazzled to make your acquittance,
I envision that’s where you are.
Since it’s a star you can’t define,
It makes it stunning and unique,
I can not help but imagine,
Maybe it’s the one God visits.
Please, forever be by my side,
Here’s my one and only wish,
Without you I can [...]

The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation. He scanned the hundred faces coming out of the airport for his son. After about forty-five minutes, Arun kumar walked out, waving his hands [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

One Saturday evening, down the window I was seeing,
Up came her call, down the bed was I about to fall.
My heart started ringing like a bell;
Picked up the phone and amused of what to tell.
Down came her offer, and she didn’t have a chauffer,
She wants to go out with me,
Clogging my mind were thoughts of [...]

For me this is a work of fiction, but for many others, it is everyday life.
Drug abuse has no redeeming value. All it does is destroy.
I dream about a better day,
And wish my fears would pass,
And I could live in perfect peace,
And then look back and laugh.
Instead, I live with doubt and pain,
And worry [...]

Because They Care
Caretakers are God’s Angles
Right here on earth
Dispensing loving care
To those who have worth.
Without special people like these,
What would the suffering do?
To whom could they turn
To ease their pain,
To avoid
Suffering in vain.
I do not think
That this is Gods plan
Because He is too
Compassionate a Man
He knows what suffering
Is all about,
Didn’t He [...]

The roses smell so sweetly
Behind the picket fence,
The grass is rich and green
It gives off a fresh cut scent.
The lilacs are in full bloom
The veranda has been swept,
One glance the eye can see
How well the garden has been kept.
The shadow in the window
Shows an old, but gentle soul,
I heard she took up residence
Not too long [...]

My mom and I were playing
cards one evening last fall
and talking about her trip
to Florida the following week.
I said that in five years
we’d be going with her
since I have just
four more years to teach.
She said she doubted
she’d still be here
by that time considering
how she’d been feeling lately.
The wine tasted
a little less sweet
after that and I [...]
