Cloud!

Cloud

White, puffy, soft and cold

My thoughts wander high up above

Hiding the light behind their back

Casting the shadow on the world below

Shedding a tear for the ones here

They fly high in the sky above

Dreams sweet of an elegant nature

Hopes high for that pot of gold

Ripe harvests for seasons to come

Are those clouds high up above

A father’s love, a mother’s care

Thoughts many beyond my philosophy

Are all what they are, the clouds

Floating in the sky, high up above

Yielding lightning, the bravest sword

And thunder, the mighty shield

A knight, so magnificently attired

Guards humanity and us, the mortals

White soft gown, grazing the sky

Slow steps of a sweet shy bride

A cloud, she moved to her eternal groom

Who kissed her a promise, a whole life new

A little cherub on a cloud weaves a tune

Alas! Unheard by our ears deafened

By the hues and cries of our pros and cons

Sadly we miss that tune of life

That cloud looked at the world below

Where it dwelt a lifetime ago

“Oh! Earth “, it cried, from above

“How strange thy art, far below”

By Tess

A knock

A Knock

She is knocking hard at your door, with her hands open, she wants you to hold,

But you are so lost lingering in your past, and, with your memories old..

She knows you are in pain, and she is here to soothe you,

She wants to ease your burden and touch your heart by her words few..

She knows you have lost trust on love, since someone broke your heart before,

You understand her feelings but that trust you cannot restore..

She knows she cannot be there, but, still she is trying to be on your mind,

She does everything to make you happy, oh, she is so kind!

You like her company, you give her a morning hug,

But inside you, you are still carrying that painful grudge..

She is knocking harder at your door, for she wants to remove all your fear,

She wants to spread smiles in your life, though deeper somewhere, even she carries a sad tear..

Give her this opportunity, let her come in, and illuminate your mind,

For such beautiful people, in this small life, you can hardly find.

She is waiting for you to open, her patience giving answer to her wait,

Come; hold her hands, before it’s too long, before it’s too late…

War and Peace

War and Peace

War and Peace Seeds of hatred,

Seeds of terror Grown in the minds of horror

Eagles and vultures dive in the skies

Blood and Bodies I can see all around

Lost my son, lost my husband, 

My  father lying in the pool of red,

Daughters and wives being disgraced all around,

No one to listen, not one to hold my hand,

My cries go far and in vain.

So someone cries beyond the borders

I can hear he too lost his father.

There across the fence I can see,

A mother for her son is weeping.

What more mayhem do I see?

No different is this war scene.

I know not who wins who loses,

I can only see pains and bruises.

Wounds and scars never to be filled,

Only shattering memories of bloodshed to live with,

This is all that War can give,

Then why don’t I pray for Peace?

Here I raise my hands OH Lord!

Because war is not the way of world

After all these apocalyptic scene

My soul yearns to live in Peace.

My Journey

My Journey

Looking out of the window of my age old car,

The one that still moves around, marked with scars,

Life on the move has been so cloudy,

More than Half of those who knew me would agree.

Blurred memories of family and friends,

Passing by before I could make amends,

Looks on those faces so familiar,

Point to a future that could have been better.

Faintly remember the towns I crossed on my way,

Milestone after milestones, day after day,

Over the Journey did the Destination outweigh,

All this while the evening sky turned grey.

As I stand here at my road's end,

No more freeways no more bends,

Living a life all along with no regrets,

Hoping this is one of those last sunsets.

U r my only asset to whom i owe

"u r my only asset to whom i owe"

Silently, I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As for me it seems the time has frozen

Darkness is all what is pouring in

The only sound I can hear is my heart beating

My eyes feeling sleepy and heavy with pain

I could see on my cloth-the nasty red stain

 

I know there is nothing more for me to gain

Still I am continuing my desperate prayers-all in vain 

A sudden nightmare has shattered my identity

Which counted on me an irreversible casualty

 

A drunken driver, and for saving a child

He left me amidst the world howling wild

Together we had embarked on a treasured love

With our innate pious feelings well gelled up

He always would say

         "A life full of hardships, I was leading

         And from nowhere as an angel you walked in"

He was there to hold my hands always

To make me the happiest with his crazy ways

When I feared that I would be left lonely

My dearest one would embrace cozily

Kicking my feelings of life's agony

But now I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As my life slowly engulfing the deadly poison

One day he had whispered to me low

"You are my only asset to whom I owe"

Now dear, it’s my turn to show

That I can fight all the shackling woes

Now, I can feel my pain getting numb

Reaching for you dear, just hold my arm

The frozen time has again started flowing

As I sit by the window with my eyes closing

A Journey Called Life

A Journey Called Life

Life is an intractable journey,
Its vagaries perplex and flummox many.
Long, arduous and insurmountable it may seem,
Chances of conquering the odds may be extreme

But an intrepid, diligent, tenacious person can tackle.
Through his hardwork, veracity,and probity,
And can reach the pinnacle

Because afterall, everything in life depends on attitude,
So, towards God express your gratitude,
By taking pride, in going through this bumpy ride
