My Paper Boat

9/3/2014

Sailing in that stream

Is my paper boat.

I’ve built her,

So I will gloat;

When with the breeze,

She swings and sways;

And the pebbles galore,

She brushes away.

She is dainty,

But a mischievous fellow.

Often rocking a leaf,

Floating so mellow.

And when it gets

A wee bit breezy;

She pokes the back,

Of a water lily.

Sometimes she looks

Like a bumble bee.

Bobbing about,

In the stream tiny.

And sometimes she looks

Like an old granny.

Leaning lazily against,

A rock mossy.

If you ask me,

Where is she going?

I will answer,

I ain’t knowing.

May be she will

Sail into a magical land

Or who knows…

Get picked up,

By a naughty hand.

Spring

The leaves are rustling;

The wind is flitting.

Spring time is here;

There is joy everywhere.

The birds are chirping;

The sun is caressing.

Spring time is here;

And in ample is mirth.

The flowers are blooming;

The river is sparkling.

Spring time is here;

We abound with delight.

It wields a strong power;

The season of spring.

There is catharsis;

There is re-awakening.

Love

Reflects all my warts and moles;

Accepts me completely, the whole.

Isn’t that what true love is?

Glows during life’s darkest phases;

Obscures the beams of criticisms.

Isn’t that what true love is?

Utters words of hope when everything is silent

Drums out the cacophonous world with its silence

Isn’t that what true love is?

Are my feelings anachronic?

Or am I being delusional?

Nay! Keep quiet!

Let the truth remain unknown.

Let the illusion continue.

Embers of My Dreams

1/28/2014

0 Comments

The world lies in deep slumber,

As I continue to wander,

Searching deliriously,

For the embers of my dreams.

Dreams that got scorched;

Dreams that got singed,

When criticisms were unfurled,

When expectations were unloaded.

Now, I am a rudderless boat;

I neither sink nor float.

Dreams that defined me once,

Are now nothing but embers.

One day no longer

Will these embers smoulder.

Then perhaps no longer

Will I deliriously wander.

Finally, peace will settle upon me.

Peace! Peace! Peace!

A Soul

People are sleeping;

The streets are quite.

Stars are twinkling;

Everything seems alright.

But there in the corner,

Of the first main street,

In a melancholic timbre,

A lone soul weeps.

Does it fear the lonely night?

Or is it being bothered by an unknown might?

Perhaps its dreams are in tatters.

Or for nobody that lone soul matters.

Nay, dear friend,

Don’t you weep.

For your sorrow will end,

And in peace you will live.

Summon your willpower,

Resurrect your aspirations.

Slay those painful recollections.

Don’t let the past tower.

The sun is rising.

The birds are chirping.

Wipe your slate clean, oh friend

And let a new day begin.

You

A reservoir of dreams,

That’s what your eyes are.

Happiness it seems,

Can’t keep you afar.

A glimpse of your smile,

And despondency singes.

A touch of your hand,

And life’s gloom unhinges.

Perhaps;

You were made for me.

Perhaps;

Together we were meant to be.

Sorry Lord if I say this to thee;

But my love is my divinity.

Meeting with a Heart

10/5/2013

Near the lush green mountain,

Next to the brimming river,

I found a heart;

Gay and tender.

It sang about the days of the yore,

When peace ruled the Earth,

And there was merriness galore.

It talked about a life led simple,

When people feared God,

And there was kindness ample.

I paused.

I pondered.

For into my heart,

Guilt had wandered.

Heaven is what man aspired to build,

Hell is what he instead built.

Raindrops

Raindrops are falling from the sky,

Children are hopping with great joy.

Across the puddle they all run,

Splashing dirt on each and one.

Raindrops are falling from the sky,

Soon mothers will cry ‘My, oh my!’

When at the doorstep they will see,

Their little ones all wet and dirty.

Raindrops are falling from the sky,

Birds are chirping I don’t know why.

May be they like singing in the rain

Or is the rain driving them insane?

Now, it’s night,

And the moon is out.

Children are sleeping,

There is silence throughout

But raindrops...

They keep falling from the sky.

A Broken Heart Sings

9/14/2013

Dreams tiptoed away silently,

And hope turned its back on me.

When you walked out through the door,

Leaving me crumbled on the floor.

Now, it’s just me and my tears;

A heart latched on memories of bygone years.

The birds dance; the leaves flutter.

But all my heart yearns,

Is the kiss of the Reaper.

For Death will liberate me,

From this pain and agony.

Then on the day of Salvation,

I shall find my true love. Amen!

Look up high,

At the wide blue sky.

For there will be birds flying by.

And there will be two clouds;

Or may be four.

Kissing the sun,

O! I am so sure.
