When words are born premature… converted to images not still but moving.. moving images… Somewhere in that journey we lose ourself.. But today… this one day NO.. this whole month… We need to get back to ourself for we can feel ourself alone… in an empty vessel.. we need words to fill it up with Some lives are like that.. they lose the meaning when … Continue reading Poetry #1 – Welcoming National Poetry Month 2019
It is not for me to bother but yet I decided to climb; and as the clouds descended every step I found myself alone….

Today I know that even a drop can mean fatal….. and … Continue reading As I murmur…….
Something woke me up.. a familiar face flashed before me, one that I could not place in my mind’s album.. but very familiar…. I got up and walked over to the living room…. before I could switch on the lights, my eyes caught the sight of a part of Bengaluru…. through the window opening into the sit out…. I had to step out and take … Continue reading Waking Up
some dreams, were shut down. nightmares that never existed, came true. fantasies survived, and now life is short…. no more delusions.. just a few steps into an unknown. possibilities have no limits and imagination has been set free fly, try, fall, fly -Vinod- Continue reading fly

The English Poems started with a poem called ‘Today I write’ and ended with the poem ‘The End’. In between … Continue reading Review of my National Poetry Month activities in 2018

I let the mountains cry rain, through the eyes of the sky. the earth wash its face so the, plants can wake up. I too cry… I tell a story to a flower, the flower sings to the thorn as the thorn cries from pain. the river flows like tears on the earth’s face.
