Tea leaves

your destiny in the tea leaves

sticking at the bottom of the cup

encircling and leaving patterns 

easy to deciphered and 

encoded

making the patterns 

that zig-zag mesh

resembling the events in your life

Marking your ups and downs 

and earmarking

all the important events

which make them truly shine

It’s an art they say

pure talent

so sublime

I wonder

I gaze with a child like 

wonder

my mouth agape in

excitement 

and horror at the same time

How mere broken leaves 

from a plant forgotten,

can seamlessly 

narrate my story

when you so conveniently

ignore the scars the 

time has left on mine.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
