Lazy poet

Lazy poet

In a room of scattered pages, sits,
Mind adrift, lost in selfish wit.
No pen moves, no verse takes flight,
In the realm of laziness, finds delight.

Ego swells with each passing day,
Ignoring the world, lets dreams decay.
Poetry waits, untouched, unseen,
A portrait of apathy, in shades of green.

Basks in own imagined glory,
Unaware of world's unfolding story.
Lazy poet, lost in own rhyme,
Content to waste away, with ample time.

A Poet's Farewell: Mike and Mabo | Toronto to Kerala 2026

Mike and Mabo  A Farewell from Toronto: The Pilot and the Poet As my departure for God's Own Country draws near, I find myself reflecting on the quiet, meaningful connections made here on the shores of Ontario. One such friendship blossomed right near my door. It began with a daily "Hi" and "Hello" while Mike was out with his faithful companion, Mabo. Over time, those brief greetings turned into an invitation for evening tea and a shared bottle of fine red wine, as the lake breeze drifted through the hallway. I was deeply moved to learn about Mike’s incredible legacy. A pilot from France with a soulful presence, he is the grandson of Frank Murphy, the legendary founder of Murphy Radio. For those of us from India, that name carries a grand nostalgia. Here is a tribute to that beautiful evening and a friendship I will carry in my heart back to Kerala.   Mike and Mabo Near the door, a familiar reverb, A playful noise to be let out; Grey hair with a YoMaShiPoo, A tw...

Novel of the Seasons

Novel of the Seasons Writing tales upon the breast of earth, Time turns a fresh page with every day. The scorching lines written by the summer, Spring wipes away like a dragonfly's play. Paintings colored by the rainbow's arc, Poems written by the dark, heavy clouds. The winter draped in a blanket of mist, Fills the mind with memories in crowds. This exquisite novel written by the seasons, Blooms in nature's own handwriting so fine. Like an endless triumph across the globe, Spreading daily in a new, radiant line.
