THE SERMON ON MOUNT
โ a reflection from Roha Hill, Mahrashtra The evening on Roha Hill opened in calm splendor.

The Magi (The Poem)
Skies of yore and there I stood,stupendous still in my hood.Caspar beneath the star,withholding secrets from afar. Wallowed deep in euphoria,omens and tokens are trivia.Pondering for the promised King,behold a tribute I bring. I, a mystical magi on steady stride,with firm faith ever as my guide.Witness to wonders yet unseen,The Truth yet to glean. ~ARTโฆ
Home (The Poem)
The home once full of wonder,now silence, echoes as thunder.Lost laughter in shadows deep,eyes once bright, cease to weep. โSoul churned none to see.โLying on, let me be.Cold and distant, despite charm,the devil, dared its norm. Amidst mocking my abysmal,โthey lauded horns of dismal.Serpent grew on my suffering,I laid low, with no resting. Christ knockingโฆ

Deciphering my poems
A thought crept into my mind. My poems speak about myself voluminously but are decoded in a very sly manner, of which I’m proud. Later, I realized that if I don’t jot down the emotions, secrets, or what drove me to write such poems, I might forget them. Somewhere, this might be a testimony thatโฆ
Nibea-2 (A Poem)
Someone, with whom I can share.A friend, who does care.Together to laugh, a shoulder to cry.For niggling nightmares to pass by.Hoping for a family or friend.An aspiring angel, on my end.Where have I gone wrong. Solely, I choose to stay strong. They treat me like I never existed. It’s me, only me who is affected.โฆ

Tom (A Poem)
Puny Tom prefers silence over profuse speech to tell, his eloquent reticence has his own enigmatic fare. Minotaur of melancholy rampages inside the psychic lair he dwell, the secret of his sadness are solitude and despair.
