Out and about

A rocking song Goes on and on Dancers hopping And bopping With the beats At their feet. Lights flicker And seem to bicker Who is bigger! The air is cool To chill every duel. Shouts and cheers, Sorrows so mere, Pitch up and above… Ah! there goes a scared cow!! ‘Aargh!’ the thunder roars and halts their soar. Out comes The joyous group With their bliss droop. Towering high Was the moon light, With the stars twinkling, At them, winking. The night’s breeze Offers the desired freeze. The song so silent Soothes their tired bend. There was their party Calm and darting In the less felt planet- The nature, the life.

A cry for life…a calm life

She sails as if her sole pains… yet she talks as she walks ‘I shouldn’t disturb my child, I make no sound, not even mild’ With her sweet burden But light at heart, She thinks and admires God’s wonderful art That dwells in her…. As she does so, She is pained To part go With her life, Part of hers, into this universe. Oh! Yes! The little one Knows it too… Just hear him moan! The world hears it And laughs At the lovely kid, Never knowing his weepy bit. His cries Of fear and solitude In this war, so huge, of time, money and par. ‘Ma, why show me this world so bright, my body gets hurt by the false right in light, why can’t it always be GOOD NIGHT!!’

Life’s worth living, and dying too!!

High up on the tree, Knocking the air With spree, The tiny sprout. The cute newborn On this lovely morn sways and giggles in gay. Fresh and bright Such a beautiful sight. Eager to learn with playing yearn, it beats its foe with just a turn. It grows And swirls With sorrows In whirls. It crosses great oceans, Both of Thorns and bacons. It’s colours fade Yellow from jade. Its veins go weak With its minds meek Breeze seem storm Fierce in its form. “Enough, dear wind. Do me a favour. Hold me in a bind And please, never devour. Allow me to float down And down. MAKE ME REST, IN PEACE!!!” The dear old leaf Gets buried with grief.

The thirsty me

With life evaporating, I lay on the little prickles……. My pulse with its sinuosity, Broadens and trickles, To break into a wide smile… “Look out!! I’m stretching still- into a long mile!” I blink Rather slowly Feeling my sink Into this barren land… My ears Stay awake For every sound it bears. Oh, please, never forsake. Save me from this bake. Yes! I can hear it! My head ascends To the hope, a bit, to register my last trust, praying, it might not be dust. Awesome fingers, raised me. A bold heart bore me. Two silent eyes questioned me. I showered on them my dryness with mine, never the less. As Desert-unseen Tear floods Wash my veins, Pearls of elixir Moisten me And stirs To fall as the longing drop From my once dry eyes… “Oh, my saviour, the wonderful gift you just offered was the sole one I searched this whole place for. I thank you first And last For quenching my ...
