Resounding lights
drenched clouds hung loose
from the ashen doors of sky
so the stars decided to use
an escape window; or atleast try.
with hushed voices they peeped
across the window pane
then quietly they leaped
and melted in the rain
what was left were sparks
that flash in the dense nights
now the darkness quietly harks
the hum of resounding lights

Barriers
Hurt by the recurring curse of heavy storms,
though we tend to build barriers around;
yet with faith, hope blooms…life transforms-
it is hiding only to be eventually found.
No wall can stop the waves of wind,
nor can it easily crumble down.
The mind gets blinded if it stays chagrined…
we learn to swim when we don’t want to drown.

Eternal Time
These bricks don’t bleed
anymore,
moss fills their open
wounds.
Leaves carefully hide within
layers –
the stabs of savage
time.
Rain soothes their simmering
burns,
breeze caresses the crimson
skin.
We watch yet don’t
understand,
acceptance is important for
survival.
Time that ravages without a
thought,
becomes a reason for
revival.
Walls crumble under the
weight
but Time has an eternal
life.

Paint your dreams
Somewhere amongst the clouds hides a million tears,
that fall from the heavy sky and a rainbow of hope appears.
Gather the fallen teardrops, no matter how trivial this seems.
Make a wish on the rainbow, and paint your precious dreams.

Beyond the Mountains
A light mist over the mountains
hangs like an intricate silken veil.
The zigzag roads...the wooded plains-
like the making of a fairytale!
Trees hum as the soft breeze pass...
the stream echoes around the hill.
Pinecones adorn the wild grass...
birds happily chirp and trill.
Let's go beyond the mountains high,
somewhere the mind finds peace.
Where thoughts will never need to sigh
and the heart shall feel at ease.

Let Go
The panting brain unable to rest;
random thoughts wrecking havoc.
Blank eyes are unable to adjust
when light causes a vision block.
The heavy hammering goes on,
twisting the thoughts within.
Numb hands can only yawn,
while the heart starts to spin.
All you want is to break free
from the heavy shackles of thoughts;
hoping the opaque glass lets you see
a clear path between the hazy blots.
Since we tend to lock ourselves
and let the noise echo inside.
The longer it stays, deeper it delves,
until there’s no more space to hide.
As the barriers break with a huge blow
no other choice remains,
except to let everything go
that muddle the mind with stains.

Delight
Laughter rained from silken sky…
clouds clapped in childish unison.
When the wind waltzed around
sheepishly smiled the sleeping sun.
Enchanted the earth softly sighed,
spreading it’s bated breaths in the air.
Vapours of love gently gathered
letting a rapturous rainbow appear.
Let’s hear the mysterious lyre of love-
catch the heavenly drops of delight.
And while waltzing to the whisper of the winds,
lets gather the dainty diamonds of the night.
