Each face, a story
Each face says a story,
Each passing glance, a life time,
Moulded by circumstances,
Weathered by the incessant tides.
Eyes tempered to deep tolerance,
By the fires or emotional turmoil.
Eyes sparkling with mischief,
Darting back and forth with delight.
Each face says a story,
Downcast with despair,
Worried about unknown circumstances,
Or gleaming with divine Ecstasy.
Fine lines and deep furrows sculpted,
By joy and sorrow in turn.
Hair combed to perfection,
Or bleached white by time.
Each face says a story,
Each color, each line an emotion.
Never was I more crowded,
Nor neither so alone.

(after the chennai beaches)
heavenly chants of the sea
the moon was high and the waves were too
these crabs would appear ,reappear ,and dissapear
making my feet uneasy,weird
butt rear ,cold wind ,cool air ,black night
maybe deep into the sea ,there were land s distant,so far far away
yet wen u see the moon that way
evrything around appears small and within reach,the sand the water
the people
who were few in that time of the night
the streetlights whish were the last motif of uniformity
started blinding one by one
and the rest appeared blurred
the only couple would be the police men/women
sitting by the road
but wen u listen carefully to the sea
it may call out ur name
it may tell u that its alright
u are not raelly pissed off
its life ,its life and its worth the pain to sit
and listen to the heavenly chant of the sea
who knows no strenth greater than his,
who knows no power who wud make him daNCE
and yet the moon up there so high smiling gently on the sea
