butterfly wings....

vibrant colours drop down dead..
woven magic in orange and red..
wht a life they lived till yesterday..
in a backdrop of grey they lie today..
yet unflinching and smiling..
a new philosophy defining...
to dwell in flowers inspite of fear..
to postpone that impending tear..
with nothing to fret or regret...
both life and death they've met..
a bauble they might seem,
those worthles little things...
there's a lot we can learn
from those butterfly wings....

age of four

scenes of childhood
cease to exist, for this little girl
who couldnt smile back
at the age of four..

the world had lost its charm
and laughter a distant dream
senescence' come too early..
before words flowed in stream..

fear pervades those naive eyes..
the dark truth of life exudes
through its silent outcries..

wht maturity cannot withstand..
innocence is forced to bear...
what a child' s stare means
nobody stops to care...

what turmoil could tht nascent heart hold..
so much so..
tht she couldnt smile back
at the age of four...

feigning life???

let the stillness of the night
ease the aching heart..
and breeze bring respite
to wounds torn apart..
will thoughts remain mere echoes
will smiles be whole again..
will i see days without shadows
and life ,when will i cease to feign...
.

tears well up

and go no where

they cleanse no soul

they see no care

they veil those eyes

now so bare

a lover's smile

they used to wear..!!

of dreams i dreamt and lived and felt...
and words and birds in flowers i dealt..
but birds fly away and fowers decay..
dreams a mere mist and words remain this..

...smiled at me today...

that child smiled at me today...
no worries,no qualms
nothing to soil her play
dirty feet ,muddy palms
what more can i say..
that child smiled at me today..
the life in her eyes..
the joy in her cries..
i wish the world could mirror
the innocence in her smiles ..
what more can i say...
that child smiled at me today!!

my fave one so far...

emotions so fragile,words could tear..
tears flow shamelessly without a care..
what misery i've known like never before..
only his words seem to matter more..
u cant hear your voice neither can u see..
the world to u feels a distant fantasy..
u ask me now and i' ll say what i've said..
life without u is all tht i dread..
i smile through the tears&enjoy the fall..
coz what life it is to never have loved at all!!!
..

evening nest.....

oh breeze take me there..
over the golden clouds of dusk..
across the blushing sky..
now in pink and purple hue..
as the sun eases into it's evening nest..
I'm awakened by the glories of the night..
basking in the myriad colours of the sky...
as fluffy masses of white envelope me..
I escape into the heavens beyond...
unaware of earthly shackles...
in bliss,in peace with the eternal magic of the divine...

dreams reign....

let the world go on with it s mechanical feat..
it's endless pursuit of the inexplicable..
fails to see the joys spelt...
the smiles and flowers left unseen..
let sleep atleast wake u up..
to treasures otherwise lost..
let dreams reign the night ahead...
and stars be things of the past...
