Love
I abhorred the sparkling rays of sunshine
In this day and age, it became the mirage of beloved
I felt melancholic of liquid sunshine
Nowadays I pray of conciliation in cloud bursts with beloved
Hostel
A place of necromancy, place of reveries
Assiduous days, phantasmagorical nights
Occults books, food of spell-bounding eateries
Chuckle some roomies, momentous sight
Father
You are the buoyant aurora to my murk despair dreams
The vibrant drizzle to the appetencies of my life
The velvety breeze of our triumph of dreams
Cheerfulness to our prismatic life
Mother
A Rose of Sharon of our home, Wings to our ambitions
Elegance and beauty of our abode, peace to our aching heart
Beacon of light, hope to our tribulations
Life of silk brocade, under the veil of loving heart
Siblings
Akin by cruor, pertinent by adoration
Distinct by perception, altered by individuality
Discrete living style, disparate approach to appreciation
Fetter by the emotions, equated through integrity
Cousins
Sweet colorful memories of childhood,
Thousands of echoes, of the past, left eyes in tears
In the reminiscence of playing hopscotch, ludo and carom of deodar wood
Peregrinating, sharing experiences, not holding back our fears
Freedom
Blood-spattered pilgrimage of ideologies
From the tophet of travail, to the Paradise of harmony
From the journey of dependency to the implementation of independent ideologies
From the cage of restrictions to the sky of liberating symphony
