Pearls of Life

I do surprise myself

As I uncover the layers 

To discover new pearls

And find strength that overpowers

Will power gearing up in it’s flutters 

Lessons trapped behind shutters 

Defining me for better or worse

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

Come upon wounds that I nurse

Joy that seeps though the curves

Peace playing blindman’s buff

Time whispers in a soft buzz

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

I choose to pick up the pieces

Embrace all the changes

And enjoy life’s enigmatic company!

Tryst with Destiny

Prelude: This piece was written more than 2 years back when I realized that I was done accepting and was trying to deny or defy or rather define my destiny. I am still at the same crossroads!

Only the cover has changed, book remains the same. Hope I will be able to muster the courage to edit a few chapters soon….  

Tryst with Destiny

There are times……

Testing trying hard
On the face……. Apparently…….

They hold my hand

And lead me steadily

Discovering a secret passage

As I take a deeper dive
Into the whirlpool of unsettled rage
To find the answers of my life

Whether this will satisfy my quest

Or increase the unrest
Only time can tell best

Whether it is a risk I should take

Is a choice that I am yet to make!!
