beginnings

Little bit of colour
changes the mood
darkness walks away
Comes merriment and joy
Such is the ploy,
Mother nature, we love you!

Happy Valentine’s day

Read them a book,
buy them a painting,
go to a circus,
Boat you may be renting
bungee jumping or para gliding,
skiing (definitely the season),
day of silience,
just talk in kisses, smile
frowns for a while
Fill your day with red roses
Play in the garden, water hoses
Whatever you do today
Don’t forget
get flowers on the way 🙂

Pace

Slow
Near stillness
Water, boat, floating I
Everything passing by
Zooming, zipping, overtaking
As if in a hurry to see everything
consume every bit, before it dies
Should I be worried, am I missing the boat
while being in one, world gloats,
worthless possessions, in my eyes,
heart sighs, keep looking for questions!

Hopes

Wishes, slow burning wax
Keep flickering, giving light,
flaming hopes, heaven send
Till the very very end

Emotional baggage

Start of an affair
In deep blue sea
bodies get hot
from ever shining sun
minds just wander
into the depth of bay
he sees a girl
with eyes like ocean
Reaching his emotions
nearly drowns
in shallow water
words fumble
slow starter
Finally gather thoughts
Tell her a lie,
Tell her a joke
Make her smile
Make her hope
Get her hooked
start of the day
Let her carry him
All the way!

Last mile

Long journey, on a winding road
Mood swings, pendulum moves
Reflects the scene been seen
Who are you with, where one has been
Drum beats, hearts pump
Jubilation and million songs
Want this journey to prolong
Sorrows of some when want to share
Eyes shed tears, melancholy you hear
Distances appear, too much, hard to bear
Tryst in mind, sparrows sing sweet
songs of longing, and impending meet
possibilities endless, fly on your feet
All such journeys end one way or another
destinations you reach, memories you gather
further and further, until reaching the last mile

Dwellings

Comfort, caring, warm
serene, full of life
just inside, deep within
soul burns with desire to leave
have pains of longing
dark clouds drench
bodies shivering
Chilling gusts
piercing through bones
feverish red eyes
destitute attire
passion, desire
all lost, such insanity
keeps alive, art

Lurking

A boat awaits
for a journey to
high seas
Inside great ocean,
waterborne
Yards in, miles out
immense darkness
humbles tiny soul within
Forcefully
chaos ready to break-in
after eras of utter calmness

Governance

Pillaging state to state
four foundations great
Yellow in its colour
dirt tinted prism
Everything is a scandal
for sale journalism
we the real gods
forsaken stature
steal and plunder
corrupt legislature
Killings are ignored
partisan grudges
Justice not served
Ignorant judges
Biggest liars
Lotteries, bingos
Inept, incompetent
Admin gringos

Parallel

Side by side
you and me
Just a kiss in between
a mere heartbeat
moving in the same direction
same moments
away, alone,
watching, staring
never daring
to change the path
to cross the line
saving parallel
universes
angel, divine
who are you,
can’t be human
as I lay myself bare
waiting for your stare
to touch me somehow
