splash....

stark white frock
neat pleated frilled
hair braided
with ribbons silk
shoes shown bright
spotless speckless
skips hops
tumbles topples
falls
splashes
muddy water all over herself
all wet
all dirty
eyes teary
grey and misty
awaits a helping hand
groans in pain
looks disdain
for people pass by
looking past her
people pass by
as if she never existed
until a young boy
not more than ten
extends his hand
pulls her out of the sticky tricky situation
gives away his stark white shirt
his only possession
offers her his only meals of peanuts and milk
does his best to make her his friend
but in the end
she sulks and groans
curses him instead
for not showing up earlier and helping her quick
snubs him
scoffs at him
selfish and thankless
she takes off in to a sprint
the teary eyed tender boy
stands shirtless homeless friendless
not knowing what to do....
skips hops
tumbles topples
falls
splashes
muddy water all over himself........

mom.. here i come!!!

words images
birds cages
twigs nests
golden chests
cobbled path
brick red stoned walls
poles of iron rust
laiden with dust
spiralling stairs
ricketty chairs
creaking door hinges
cracked walls
roofless tops
spider cobwebs
stained bathtubs
a shadeless tree
stands amidst dried tulsi
a pot of tea
cooker whistling
portraits hung
framed wooden
a distant call
the metal buckets fall
water gushing
muddy brown
salt strewn
a distant bell
of the temple atop
a splash of rain
choked drains
soaked me
eyes searching for me
heart pounding
silk saree serenading
eyes moist and anxious
arms stretched warm and tender
white fluffly towels
wrapping me in to a bundle
baked biscuits
fried cutlets
roasted cashews and almonds
mom's scented jasmines
my uniform buttons undone
homework never done
red remarked calender
dog-eared pages
blue-inked smudged faces
torn ribbons
unopened uneaten tiffins
faded curtains
soft saree cottons
muffins and raisins
mom's scented jasmines
now weary wornout
bald toothless knocked out
old wrinkled
wretched broken
mom.......here i come.......!!
