Story

Million hairs untangled
Golden, black and brown
Faces without emotions
Ecstatic, sad, with frowns
mademoiselle to madame
Child becoming dame
World keeping changing
I remain the same

Thousand stories lurking

does a story need an explanation,
a beginning and ending
a heroine, a hero, a saviour landing

a jester, a villain, thousand characters
undefined, just mentioned, since they
have an ordinary life, not worth telling, or selling

background noises, low and loud voices
eccentricity, abnormality, excitement
trickery, treachery and enticement

why plot always thickens, never slackens
pulse always quickens, so does music
when it comes at a juncture,

good and evil warring factions,
pauses, screams and inactions
why a story needs to be told

Earth, Sky could be better
with nothing but a mundane living
if it is in peace, contentment release

it is a thought, may be not to our liking
sometimes better than faking
or lacking, adventure being seek

a story where there is none
narrated by someone
totally trustworthy, made to lie

and fabricate, for true amusement
of few, who knew, from the beginning
what transpires, creativity inspired

a story, an epic, a tale,
I come up with one, every day,
without fail, just to see you smile

Four friends and an octopus

Four little Lily pads
Went to the sea
Want to see
Her Majesty

Unending waters
Shores not known
Fables and tales
Of the days bygone

As they got near
their hearts filled with fear
The mighty sea
was showing its colours

winds strong, waves flow
strong tides, high brow
At the bay, out of their way
lived the kind Octopus
Saw these novices

Unable to move
Unable to enjoy
The turquoise blue
Ocean glue

Beautiful sun
Or have any fun
Calmed them down
By singing a song

Let them drink
Something strong
Mood restored
Fear no more

They went in
Lagoon grinned
Met the wise coral
Heard from her
Ethics and morals

Eel came around
Electricity abound
Charged their hearts
Journey restarts

it was time to go
Back to their pond
Pads truly happy
Wanted octopus along

For him to see
Beautiful world
beyond this sea
He came by
Thoroughly enjoyed

The tranquility
Life quality
Of calmer waters
And smaller beings
No adventure of the sea
Just contentment and glee
