If I take a shred of 1980s time, and clutch it tight
(From when optimism shined, and felt no need for second sight);
And contain it in the formula, that I’m preparing now,
I can climb the trees in modern woods, and never break a bough.
Should I snatch a scrap of Paris, clasping firmly with my grip
(So the [...]

He stood on the edge of a suburb, where house windows faced an expanse
Of bushes and forest and small hills; and readied himself, with a chance.
He stood on the edge of a sunset, with houses not far from his rocks,
And somehow the sunset was lengthened, slowed up through a trick of the clocks.
He harnessed the [...]

O tree of trees, neath skies of blue
I once was glad and young with you!
And now at last you sing to me,
Of all the years, that used to be!
a tree who slowly, softly weaves,
The “Songs of Summer” through her leaves!
A tree who bends, as winds go by
And autumn sunsets paint the sky!
A tree who marks, [...]

I can remember….far far away-
Those foolish GLAD days-
‘Fore I was gray!
I held your hand, Dear-
You here devine-
YOU GAVE ME YOUR DREAM*
I gave you mine!
If you like music-
Sing this with me!
Sometimes the dog came-
He made the three!
Always the warm winds-
Always the same-
Happy old lost days-
Gone down the lane!
I held your hands Dear-
You were devine!
I gave you [...]

Oh tree that stands neath skies of blue
I once was glad, and young with you.
And now at last you sing to me-
And tell me of that “USED TO BE”.
A tree who slowly, softly weaves,
The “SONGS OF SUMMER” through her leaves.
A tree who feels the winds go by-
as autumn sunsets pain the sky.
A tree who markes, [...]

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 [...]

Musicians and tumblers filled the court
Weaving through our dances in the aisles
of reclining nobles
Roasted cinnamon and wine stained aristocratic linens
Lazy and pampered ambassadors
Reached out to stroke our legs
I longed to return to the ceremony of the bull dance
(Frankincense burning our throats
Swallow hard, don’t let the tears gather
One lost moment and a pirouette could fail
Hands could [...]

Rockin’ rhythms, ever livin’
Beat is poundin’, always givin’
Always jumpin’; always thumpin’
Hear the music as it’s pumpin’
Digital is always playin’
But I can’t hear what it’s sayin’
Nerves are twitchin’; this is bitchin’
In the den and in the kitchen
Sounds are all that I am hearin’
But I love it and I’m cheerin’
Keep it goin’, never stoppin’
As I’m twitchin’ and [...]

As you fell into my arms
A perfect fit
The feeling, felt so right
We gazed into each others eyes
We knew it
As we grasped each other
And held so tight.
The pounding of our hearts
Beating to the melody
Of Sinatra crooning
“I’ll never smile again.”
The smile was there
For fifty six years
Suddenly the music stopped,
You left
Called home.
Now
I’m all alone.
Awaiting my call
Beaconing me home.
