Everybody has a story to Tell

 Everybody has a story to tell

In this month of April

Droplets glide down the spine

Tingling every sensation

Mixed with words that weave a long tale

So although I sit by the window staring at blanket of sky twinkling with stars in row

I am transported to another world by poets

Awakened at Napowrimo.

I Rot

 Do you understand

Pain

Stress

Depression

Follows

Pain

Want

Life

Without

Pain

Do you understand?

You can enjoy

Parties

with

friends

Throw

Parties

Carelessly

Day

Night

Parties

You can enjoy

I rot in dark room

Alone

Nobody

Visits

Me

Alone

Deal

With

Pain

Alone

In dark room, I rot.

Cook for Me

 I am not your wife

nor lover of your lifetime

why you come to me?

Enjoyment matters

Love for food bring me to you

You just cook for me

Active

Out Of Shape

 Can't

Escape this feeling

Of shaping

My poem

Adjusting it

to

Fit your taste.

Hope

It

Soothes

You

The

Way

It

Stands

Deformed

Out of shape

Active

Life Returns Back

 Life returns back

As if it never left

The loud beeps on road

Traffic jam

Street urchin at traffic light

Selling wares

before signal turns red,

man limps,

his hand outstretched

Nobody cares

Pandemic dead?

No trace of abnormality

Stagnant life

Float away

Just a small patch of mask

Remain

still.

Mistress Of Spice

 Mistress Of Spice #namowrimo

Helper in the kitchen

Meddling with spices

Turmeric turns pale

Chilly  hot

Cinnamon alert

Stands erect

Bay leaves stretch

Shamelessly on its back

Spices look for attention

Each promising

Unique flavors

Helper grabs

Red chilly powder

Dumps it

into pool of curds

Lime giggles

Slightly squeezed

Wet to the core

Curry in pot

Boiled to brim

Oil peep

through slimy screen

Cardamom, fennel

Cumin cloves

Shared a wink

Through ebbs and flows

Salt is cool

White as snow

Awaits for its turn

proud, confident

The real taste lies

In its skin

Just a pinch

For a tasty meal.
