Final Moments

Some day,the eyes will closeNever everTo open againSomeone will flashA light at themAnd cover the faceWith a white sheetWhat will I seeAs I leave the worldDarkness of deathOr whiteness of the sheetCovering me.©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar

Blessing of the Night

by

Westward it goesEverydayAnd haltingly dipsAt the skylineIlluminating the skyFor a moments fewReluctantly it dimsThen goes downAnd as the nightBegins it’s lifeTo lead us intoA Misty shimmerAbsorbing usIn tranquil delightAnd grant our drearyBodies and mindThe boon of themuch neededSlumber. ©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar

When she goes out for work

by

When she goesOut everydayTo earn her breadfor the daySilence swiftly descendsOn the houseAnd one even hears itMoving aroundKids stop their whiningResign to their roomsKitchen turning intoA haunted placeGarden also looses itsBeauty and graceAnd the dog also quietlyGoes to sleepWith no one to speakOr nag at meHouse feels lonelyA Deserted place©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar

Lost in the Lockdown

by

Locked at homeNowhere to goNetflix and primeFinished all showsFacebook is dullWhatsApp on fireReading fries myTiny brains wiresRecipes were goodIn the early daysThroat is hoarseSinging karaokeSitting at homeAnd doing nothingIs making me dumbAnd loose my mindTrying to findThe lost mind nowSitting on the couchIn a transcendental pose©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
