Superficiality

food and drink
wine and wink
laugh and link
social butterfly
life in sync
wearing woven
pretty hot pink
stilettos long heeled
diamonds and bling
sing and sing
before the last call

Tinkering

Tinkering with nature,
sapiens we see all
make amends soon
or be ready for the fall

Silence of a night

Silence of a dark night
deafening for the soul
Looking towards redemption
Stories untold

Life is but a prism
Colours separating from the seams
Dark ones are quiet
Light ones scream

May be we are prisoners
our small deeds
Considered crimes
Punishable indeed

As the night passes
we are left without words
travelling long distances
returning where we stood
the dawn appears at last
Time to wear our masks

Effort and applause

Crafted with sweat and blood
took seven hundred twenty days
dragged to strange ways
there it lays, reflecting

artistry, craftsmanship
blacksmithing, brush strokes
most desired masterpiece
breath’s final release

admired, smiled and spitted on
admittedly, lately
people have varying taste
some take ages to decide
what they adore, abhor
others in momentary haste,

driven by greed, creed, breed
millions fail, few succeed,
there is nothing else to the deed,
has to be done, by someone

let’s mocking cocking
crowds have their say
it is the ancient way,
how nature decides destiny

Anger

Heading right
into a storm
the day was warm
weather angry with nature
why let sapiens fracture
dear sister earth
digging holes everywhere
no justice nothing fair
entering lion’s lair
small chance of survival

Despatches

Away thousand miles
from all the affection
all you have is their smiles
heart riles, determined soul
hoping, aiming, changing
destiny as a whole
tearing fabric of possibilities
such is the will of a human

Conqueror

Slow, latent
Heart was captured
Soul was conquered
Such are rewards
for being patient
