[praggya1993]

She's like a spilled rivulet of light

From an incandescent bulb

That keeps casting its flickering shine

Even amid lurid flashes of electricity around

That blinds one's desires and dreams

To stir and take a flight.

Even when the dark winds

Slash and slay long evenings domestic warmth

Into reluctant half hearted nods

Her opal glances from a corner

Knock away the will

To turn and switch off

The pending streams of vigour.

Christmas Prompts

13 prompts for Christmas

Small trees

Broken bulbs

Pins and needles

Rumors about joy

Tragic sleigh ride

Family comes first

Wasting time at work

Jolly intentions

Save a cookie for me

Grandma knows best.

Santa is real and dead.

Call me when the egg nog runs out.

Sleep well and don't worry.

[praggya1993]

They trod on the cusp of laughter

Slipping and slapping their arms

Around each other.

Their eyes scanning a dreamy world

One in which they've only got each other.

Merrily they drift

Like the sound of chiming bells

Through glimmering streets

Twinkling like tears of happiness and glee.

Learning that there's so much

They've got to cherish and believe.

A bunch of jolly intentions

In their hearts

So pure and beautiful

Indeed.

[praggya1993]

Let your closely guarded secrets

Lay down on a bed of assuring sighs,

Your chirpy fields of disquiet

Become clear like the air

That twirls after the rainy clouds.

Let the cold winds that deny

To dry your tears

Dissolve into a rest that feels

Like a bonfire to your soul.

And this winter seem

Just like a guide to a playful spring

Coming with its vigorous steps

To your heart.

I wish that you find it possible

To sleep well and never worry

About so many things in life

So much.

[praggya1993]

When the spoons are laid down

And you burp without a sound

Feeling the pleasure in your belly abound

But the craving of something sweet

Still rounds up your content

Into an attempt to graze

Some chocolatey assurance

That'd make you close your eyes

Fill your senses with a sturdy delight

And let's you dream about those long nights

When our hearts gently melted

Without any fire by our side

Just the crunch of our lives

From our mouths

That felt delectable

To our minds

Don't forget to save another cookie

Like you used to for me

And savour it slowly

I hope that still makes you

Think about me sometimes.
