Rhyming Within My Heartbeats

 Rhyming within my heartbeats,

is your love-song,

that I hum every night,

and float into a world,

where,

to each other we belong.

 I am, not me,

my heart and soul devoted to you,

surrendering all desires,

with a faith,

to be,

eternally yours.

Our Long-Lost Home

 Lingering whiff of sodden earth,

sprouting with new blossoms and birth,

beginnings and endings merging together,

here life flows on soft feathers.

Shades of fresh leaves and ferns,

a wishful abode for a heart to return,

the forests are our long-lost home,

where our old souls still roam.

A Flowery Delight: Renewal Of Earth’s Turf

Rain kissed earth,

sings in rainbow hues,

of empire blues,

dazzling under,

a misty sky.

 

Bellflower, daisies,

roses, bottlebrushes,

smile in soft hushes,

through their,

renewed buds,

a time for change,

in earth’s turf.

It is rainy season in North India and nature is in its splendour!

Oh! Moon, Shine Your Light : Monotetra

Your love is the pure silver white,

Enchanting the earth every night,

Showering flowers of delight,

Oh! shine your light, oh! shine your light.

She waits for you, counting the hours,

For the night, like a moonflower,

To bloom under your love’s power,

With smiling stars, with smiling stars. 

For dVerse

Bone Marrow: The Start of All

Red and yellow, spongy matter,
Squeezed inside the sternum, thigh bones and hip bones,
Sometimes stored,
To be used later,
For someone of your own.
 
Red part - a blood making factory,
Stem cells rising to make RBCs, WBCs and Platelets,
Many factors involved,
Like bees surrounding a nectary,
Working tirelessly, never ever resting.
 
Yellow part – a supporting stromal partner,
Concoction of adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes,
Serving the microenvironment with great honor,
Working together just right.
 
Oh! many times ill- luck strikes,
Depleting blood cells from the sites,
Life threatening - aplastic anemia,
Or any leukemia.
 
But, there’s nothing to worry,
Bone marrow transplant is the answer,
Matching it right with the patient,
To do away with the blood cancer,
A new hope awaits………………………….



For the love of biology and research!

Where We Will Meet?

 We will meet,

at the edge of a galaxy,

where the physical boundaries dissolve.

 We’ll walk through the nebulas,

leaving our foot prints on the clouds.

The interstellar space will guide our path,

and together we’ll merge into the infinite universe.

We will meet,

where all the boundaries dissolve,

at the edge of a galaxy…

Star Crossed Lovers

        She is the dark deep night,

        searching for her moon,

        to glow her soul with his light,

        sparkle bright as the golden June.

             The stars in the skies,

            littered all over,

            tears of her unheard cries,

            flowing listlessly for her lover.

                 She believes that the path across the milky way,

                will lead her to a new universe,

                filled with flowers of May,

                and lift her dark curse,

                where she will find her love lost.
