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...

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...

The Society of Illusions!

Image
The untrue smiles we spark, Even when within, it's dull and dark, The shallow hearts we bear, And the agony which we carry! It all occurs when youth and disdain marry, Touching the peak of deception, In a world so deceptive as ours, When we hide our scars, With a glamorous mask so hollow, But that's the trend we follow, Fabricating our beads of lies, With an exorbitant necklace of gaiety and pride, Pretending to always be right!  The false promises and distrust, Lie shriveled up deep below the unrevealed bottoms, Of a broken heart

Young Eyes Care for the Eyes Unborn!

What will it bring? Happiness? Colors? Glory? Or decay's heavy burden we carry? Darkness, desolation, things disgraced? Words engraved in History's stones... Will nature's mystery remain unknown? How will Earth tell its painful story? If we usurp its glory, its former glory? 'Mother Nature,' we say in lengthy speeches! For our nations, we make strong pledges! Have we considered harming our mothers? No! They provide, support like no others! Where is our humanity within? When we wield axes, harming forests thin? Captivating flowers, stealing hearts with ease, Have we become heartless, devoid of peace? Plucking twirling dancers in the breeze, Emotions frozen, life's vibrant lease! This is how we've harmed our mother, it's clear, In pain, she pleads, shedding silent tears! She provides all we need and more, A clear blue sky, crystal waters' floor. Sandy beaches, mountains tall, Love flowing from fountains, en...

A Day Without Specs!

Image
Nhea woke up to a blurred world, A day before, her device broke, And everything seemed to faint and whirl! Yes, it was a hazy hour, That’s when she realized her device’s power. As she got up from bed, Toward the kitchen, she fled! To grab a slice of bread. On the way, she banged into an artefact, Which drove her almost dead. Her foot turned red, With darting pain, big tears she shed! All happened because her device broke! She went to have a bath, Couldn’t find the soap, Kept jostling her hands all over. The shower drops fell on her wet face! Leaving her in fog and haze. Nhea got ready for school, She jumbled the socks, One black! One gray! At her school, her friends had nothing to say. All she noticed was her friends laugh! Laugh! Laugh so hard! Her hair all over, For it was her blurred self in the mirror, She couldn’t see! She had to squeeze her eyes, To look at the tiny words, Dancing like mice! When she came back home, Sh...

The King of the Sky!

Image
What's that magnificent thing up there? When I glance, it gives me a glare! Is it a golden ball hanging so high? Or an angry thing in a hot pan fry... It turns my cheeks so red, As if I'm shy!                     It's strange, certainly nice, I can't look at it twice, 'Coz it's bright and fierce, In my eyes, it brings tears, When I look at it straight.  What did God create? It gives warmth and heat and shine and more, It is the king of the sky whom I adore... None other than the red-yellow sun, So golden, bright, the only one!! Elders offer water to him, I guess he's thirsty, for he goes to the gym. Yet he can't get any slim!! But I was wrong, He's so strong...  The Sun God his name, He's got enough fame... 'tis round and far,  The largest star! When the sun is merry, The weather becomes airy...  For it goes in the clouds to relax,  Takes a leave and,  Enjoys some snacks... Its light's all gone,  And it...

How is it up there?

I'm a little bird, I can view the big world! I can sing, I can dance, I can fly, Near your door, on the trees, in the sky, Oh so high, in the brilliant blue sky! In the rain, I go to my nest, Give food to the chicks, then we rest. East or west, wherever I go, I cut through the breezy winds that blow. When the days are stormy,  We hide in our cozy roost,   The fear is up, then the winds halt,  And our horror reduced! Ups and downs for us too,  But we don't sadden, just continue. We're a pretty family,  We sing for people in the dawn, As the day goes by, my chicks play in the lawn. By the time it's dusk,  I gather all the husk. It's fun to flutter and flap in flight, In the nightfall, I hug my chicks so tight! The twilight lullabies,  It's a sweet, quiet evening, A tiring day, yet the beauty is matchless, The silvery moon kisses the world in stress. I gaze at the stars, it's a paradise,  With the sunsets and the sunrise! Away from the hustle,...
