Shim

The sun bowed out

scattering around the residuum

from twilight through night

bleeding to death.

Crescent rising in dispirited gloom,

silver blaze upon the muted realm.

Clouded silhouette losing the shadow

no more spellbound nights

no breeze to soothe,

only a vision ,

that is darker than the dark to look for

in a far away land a lily boomed for me!!

I see no firefly by my windows only wild bug fluttering on..

expectant heart opened the window with faith

a kind lightening and a soft thunder breaking  silence

every drizzle that followed  filled in life in the empty night!!!!

Stranger

As I turned around I saw her turning away..
I looked on with interest..and she had those curious eyes.....
lovely eyes still something  was missing in them...
energy perhaps or life???
She kept on with my gaze as a mute witness...
till I realized that this stranger in me has become a part of me..
But a smile did flint across as my lips as it curved...

Aura

Against a dark grey wall I caught you unaware 

Wearing just a few old leaves…..

When you walk with troubled thoughts

Come in here and rest for a while..

petals furling, buds unfolding I'm in here……

even in the pearl glow of the moon.

Hold yourself, as you watch the orchids fade away……

all nodding their heads,

smilingly still welcoming you

don’t close Ur heart and mind…

there’s a life out of those walls,

walk in on the shafts of summer sun or when 

the twilight comes to cool or Even

when the moon is low …

for there are still soft breeze blowing through

that would scintillate your spirit……

So tell me would u share a moment!!!!!

Certain points in life

image

One of my friends came to me explaining how terrible life has been to her..After all, she said that she deserved to be happy!!!! True we all deserve to be happy, no matter what but then at what cost..Is there a cost for happiness? well in this world nothing comes free not even a simple smile...That being said I got back to my dear friend  to see what her problem really was, from my vantage she had a healthy life with a supportive husband a healthy child and a comfortable life but then its a bird's eye view..But hello we all have problems, at least once in your life a person would have gone through a phase where one feels worthless and low.. It might be when you see a person whom you love is hurt and you can do nothing about it, or when a person whom you trusted with your life betrays you , loss of loved ones and the reasons are endless..But from what I have seen people feel hurt when their loved ones ignore you..I have even witnessed in first person account of how a person drifts to a state of depression as they hold no importance to anyone anymore... But does that mean that you don't have a life of your own? When you hit the rock bottom that could be a solid foundation to start with.. But you know what easily said than done especially its about emotions and when it comes down to it we all want to be loved, hold a special place in someones life..If we all want to be loved and cared then why do so many around us feel lonely ?

All troubles start when you start to take the other person for granted and that is when you start to lose them and we humans are bestowed with an immense talent for taking things for granted.How many times have we taken our parents love for granted , as though they don't have a life of their own, our friends care  for granted as though they were meant to pick up the pieces..We often overlook on how diligently the people in our small bubble do love and care about us, all seems so well that its always easy to let slide ..Most often we overlook  how beautiful our life really, we somehow stop to appreciate it  and we run  run so fast that at one point when we look there would be none to cherish the moment, smile at our achievements after your loved ones might get tired of your indifference..Small task a day one task at a time , is it too much to appreciate your moms coffee with a smile, is it too much to call up a friend and talk to her/him for no real reason, is it too much to surprise your loved one with a rose..Making feel others that you care is not that difficult if only you take time from your mad run of work and profession..

As I sit all by myself just with my cup of coffee I was trying  to look at all the blessings in my life and then it occurred to me that having a  cup of coffee with all peace surrounding me at the cosy comfort of my room itself was blessing.. For I know there are people half planet away from their home missing their dear ones, there are many more out there who don't have friends to share their beautiful moment, many more who don't have a partner to share their mundane activities...Remniscing all the wonderful moments are best thing that could happen to anyone  on a stressful day, when nothing seems right and what if you would stop having those sweet memories to hang on to ?Well then  is high time you to shake yourself from the dusty shell and look around and enjoy a beautiful sunrise, gentle breeze a bud blooming into its glory and all wonderful things that are always around us..

I know writing this my thoughts are rather scattered and random about things but then that is how sometimes you feel like, where one thought relate to another before you realise there are cascade of them and its like you are happy confused determined and high all at the same time..

Love unseen and untold

You came running with all ecstasy with playful charm

You carved your heart taking away mine

And when you walked away you took away a part of me with you forever..

I confessed all my love with my flowers at your feet be in spring or dry summer

Yet for you it was all the playfulness at its glee..

One fine day when you bid  good bye

I could only watch you as a mute spectator

years passed seasons came and went

but my heart had you deep in as my most treasured possession
Calling out for you loud deep into every direction
but you were gone like a dream gone  without a trace

walkaway

alone at the daybreak

lonely at night

desolate all along

deserted is the path

wandering forlorn

silent settling in the shadow of dark clouds

darker gets the long day

when the fall is inevitable,

standing on edge

that is when the inner peace gushes in

freedom flooding through

feel of bliss

feeling alive..

Monsoon love

The smell of rain

ah monsoon , there you crashed back into my life.

Stillness shaken off, awakened into a new being,

the notes of rain drops tuning to the call of crickets

cacophony of frogs seem like a happy time around me.

breeze whistling to the pitter patter against my window

Lullaby soothing my soul..

Moody sun and playful moon,

All find solace in the monsoon spirit..

The soothing music of rain around,

wonders of the natrure drinking ounce of it

Rejunevated. rekindled

I feel revived , I feel rouse...

Shades

 my own footsteps sounds afar

aloof to my own voice

when I seem distant to my own self

I look up the sky for my distant moon

somehow the distance closes 

that is both comforting and soothing

Bucking of time searing feverous..

Crimson is to apple and rubies so is to rage, blood and sunset.

But then I see a crimson rose and a butterfly fluttering to it, 

I understand that when there are hundred shades for distress there could be thousand shades for delight.

Rejuvenate

Day's colours begins to fade

for the night to descend..

As the last leaves of the dying tree fall,

rustling through with nothing to linger on

gently disappearing into the shadows 

into the home of darkness..

Emptiness deep and dark

all seem like a nightmare.

the shrill deafening and sharp..

Merciful crescent glimmers its silver ray,

brightening the silhouette all over..  

Radiance of calm lifts the spirit 

soaring and soothing 

this is the horizon where it begins where it seems fade and end..
