The Curse of Freedom

Without fail repeatedly comes the evening daily

The dusk caresses the feelings of mine rather lonely

Questions there are – answers I do not have

Often they are just queries, replies I do not crave

The lamp flickers like the hopes in my mind,

The shadows trying to bring my thoughts to a grind.

The window is beyond reach and its rather too high

My connection with the world is just that little sky.

Tomorrow I am going to leave, I would be free

This is home now, from there I don’t know where to flee!!

The Last Smile

There I was lying on the bed half awake
The room was full, all surely for my sake.
Looked around, found all near and dear
Saw your eyes from behind trying to peer.
Flowers and cards strewn all over the place
Scattered thoughts of mine that I could’nt trace.
Memories of events flashed by - good and bad
They were the possessions that I really had.
You came by and sat for a while
My spirits really soared – more than a mile.
Held on to my hand where I felt your hidden fears
I just smiled and then traveled the destined tiers. Sphere: Related Content

War!!

He waited behind the door.
The inside was dark and hazy.
He could hear the shells at a distance.
Slowly he nudged the door with the nozzle.
And then he saw.

A small boy.
Lay beside him was a body.
The boy was startled.
The soldier screamed " Don't Move".
The boy mumbled.
The gun was pointed at the boy,
Then he shot him. Twice!!

This is war!! You have to kill!! Sphere: Related Content

Fly Away

If I could fly with wings in the sky
I would soar over all far and nearby
I would be able to talk to the cloud
Then feel the pure rain and be proud
I could travel beside a Siberian Crane
Listen to the bird and feel its pain
I could visit places I am fond of
Without fear of controls that scoff
I could see the oceans and seas
Hover on the lands and trees
Could go and see my distant love
Make my home all over and above!! Sphere: Related Content

Your Love!

That gentle caress of your love
That sweet kiss of your love
That embrace of your love
That warm feeling of your love
That silly laugh of your love
That stupid frown of your love
That twitch of an eye of your love
That holding hands of your love
That final moment of your love Sphere: Related Content

Talking!!

Talking about feelings.
Feelings is life.
Life is emotion.
Emotion is in me and you.
You are my friend.
Friends are forever.
Forever we are bound.
Bound by rituals.
Rituals emanate from religions.
Religion is personal.
Personal is always part of a group.
Group does not like loners.
Loners do speak out sometimes.
Sometimes we listen.
Listen to the inner voice.
Voice of the people.
People are still talking! Sphere: Related Content

The Delivery Boy

It's rather dusty outside-
They say there is a sandstorm.
He is searching for an address.
He is walking about in the hot sun.
His eyes trying to read the house numbers.
He is perhaps feeling thirsty.
He is perhaps a bit lost.
He is worried that he is getting late.
His mobile phone is ringing.
He refuses to accept the call,
He is getting tired.
He looks up at me.
He just gets a smile and a nod.
He moves on.
I move on!! Sphere: Related Content
