A few sonnets that piqued me:

🌹"Are you time? 
    Or are you its paramour — Memory?  
    Your pheromone spilt all over me. 
    My peasant's hands,  
    My poet's eyes,  
    My insomniac nights  
    My infinite curiosity "

🌹"We live together  
      Like body and disease  
      Like death and the terminal waiting for it  
      Putting on an act, stages set faces painted  
      Slow-dancing to the tune of the ticking clock  
     We smile, we hold hands  
      Dying a little every day  
     We come and go  
      Burning slowly in this toxic silence."

🌹"“Wait till it all ends, 
        For that is when we will begin”  
       A sky full of anticipation and fading birdsongs 
       A room brimming with the smell of wild flowers  
       The Komal Gandhar still lingers on...  
       Has it ended, Shalikh?  
       Has it all ended? "
 
🌹"You could hear them breathe — 
     the scattered pieces  
     Amidst the rains,  
     The voices of reinvigorated lives  
     The rhapsodies of resuscitating pasts  
     Ancient gods overlooking the chaos of time  
    The parodies of reason and rhyme  In their eyes, a strange sunshine"

In certain sonnets, he catches the mixed sentimentality of lost love, while in his different sonnets, he offers the readers a brief look at recovery and restoration amid life's preliminaries. The assortment is a demonstration of the force of verse to enlighten the secret corners of the spirit and to offer solace amid vulnerability.
