Struck by Yesterday

Heart lingers,

In the times of past...

Where skies were blue and birds, singers.

Why do they not last?

Clouds overshadow the fresh breeze,

Steal our smiles,

Take away everything with ease...

We learn to walk long miles,

All alone, heart in void,

We yearn for that bit,

When we unapologetically enjoyed,

When friends did not split,

When love flourished in every pure soul,

When music wasn't needed to fall asleep,

When excelling wasn't the only goal,

When we didn't shut the door to weep,

When kids didn't need therapies,

And gardens echoed with their winsome,

When people had their talks with their teas...

When we weren't busy to meet our loved ones,

When people knew who lived next door,

And dishes travelled every neighbor's home,

Memories eroded to the shore,

Unlike loam,

Sands forget everything, slip away,

The waves that once swelled in the sea,

Disappear on their destined way,

All that we're left with,

Is nostalgia in play!

Unspoken Strength

Do whatever it takes to remember when I'll arrive. Mark the date, jot me down – just ensure I'm in your mind, But I’ll never return at the same hour again! Next month, I'll visit, bringing more of my pain. I come as I wish, without care or a plan, To disrupt your comfort whenever I can. Regardless of your exams or trips, I'll knock at your door, making you crave for salty chips. Each minute I’m here, you'll feel the sting, An ache so deep that only I can bring. When my wrath ignites, you'll stare death in the face, As cramps crush you, leaving no grace. Needles will prick you, every second a test, Making you long for just a moment of rest. That white dress you wore so carefree and bright, Will feel out of place as I draw near, taking your light. Still, so gracefully, you bear me with poise, Serving your family, fulfilling your roles. At the office or home, with a smile so warm, You endure my agony as if it's the norm. But make no mistake, one error I seize, ...

Epitome of Elegance

Why does she suffer? She’s a sister, daughter and a mother… She is a caring daughter, And a loving sister… Takes care of the family, Goes through everything happily… Never grouches about her agony, She’s as sweet as jaggery… As beautiful as a dewy rose! As elegant as a fern, As strong as a mare… As brave as a lioness, Has a heart of gold… No matter what, she never loses hope, She’s optimistic and bold… How the incessant golden daffodils cover the barren land, A mother so tender, protects her young ones, innocent… Like the bulky cloud bulging with water, A young lass, overwhelmed with affection… She dances merrily like the twirling waves of the sea, Sings with melody… On her countenance, she has a glow, Like the evergreen river, she goes with the flow… A great sense of fashion, Signora così bella, Dressed up in finery, ornamented with simplicity… Crimson earrings signify love and excitement, Teal array implies tranquility, m...

As Endless as the Desert Horizon - “Waiting!”

Image
Waiting since a long time, Every moment seems to define, The level of patience, The upcoming suspense! Nothing is achieved without a wait, Nothing comes straight! It may be an exciting wait for a phone call, Or the sweet long wait for a special person after all! It can be the anxious wait for an exam result, Or the monotonous wait at the doctor’s clinic to consult… The cheerful wait of a young child for his birthday, what next! Or the annoying wait for a person’s text! A determined student’s long, patient wait, For being successful and great! Or an impoverished person’s longing, For his nights to turn into days of spring! An old lady’s breathless wait for her children to return home, When it’s so difficult to live all alone! Or a sick man on his death bed, Begging to God for a peaceful end! As painful as an arrow stabbing the heart, Tick-tick of the clock bothering from the start! As annoying as the bee’s buzz! As messed up as fuzz… As sa...
