A Rainy Thought

Filtering my thoughts in a colander,
Sitting in front of the porch,
On a drizzling late august evening,
Enjoying a clandestine affair,
A cup of coffee in hand,
Thoughts stirring in the Kew,
Confetti of feelings,
The warmth of autumn sun fading through the trees,
Shimmering pearls falling from my sky,
And I stretch out my hands,
Trying to gather them all,
Beads of pearl slip from my small hands,
But then I realize,
There are hands holding a cauldron,
Gathering them for me.
I look up at the sky,
Murmur thanks for all the caring eyes,
To be blessed with love and care.
Sans them life would be incomplete.
Being right next to me,
Even in the rain soaked night.
Strewing the coffee cup in my hand,
I smile as rains continue to batter,
Lights flickering away one by one,
I promise myself to be their lifeline.

Double Face

A shadow in the twilight,
A star shining in day,
A light so bright,
That it obscures your vision.
The reality remains a mystery,
Lost in myriad of shades,
Hiding behind plethora of drapes.
A look inside the Pandora’s Box,
Hypocrisy wears a sugary mask,
A shadowy beast hides in darkness,
Behold outside the box it’s a different face,
Inside, the world is a better place.
Beyond the boundary of my senses,
What does it take to have a mote of simplicity?
Why splash a false identity...
Wasting time to get noticed...
There is so much more than that which meets your eye,
There is more beyond the horizon
With the fake ness in smile,
A motive behind every single thought,
Too cold and selfish to be sought.
Its not hypocrisy but being worldly wise!
Seeing the truth through the prism,
Giving it a different shade.
Deception, manipulation hold the reigns,
Beginning right from the Garden of Eden,
The devil wore Prada,
And then peace had to end.

Reflections

What do you see when you stand in front of the mirror?
Do you see your reflection?
Or a clueless soul in the population.
Do you see someone else's face,
Someone you want to emulate..
Does it show every piece of you...
Or scattered pieces of jig saw with no clue.
Does the image look at you and smirk,
And say, wow! Look at another jerk!
It’s not a magic mirror you have got,
To go “Mirror mirror on the wall,
Please make me above all".
Its time you got to set free,
Time to move closer...
To the real reflection..
Be the perfect poser...
Time for a resurrection...
Be the perfect composer...
Let the person staring back,
Tell you the truth...
Just like the reflection you see,
In the mirror of your lover’s eyes....
For what you are, and not what you will be..
Let the person staring back,
Meet you in the eye...

Sometimes....

Sometimes it’s the freedom that you desire and dread,
Sometimes it’s the uncertainness lurking from the bend.

Sometimes things are not as they seem,
Sometimes you wish them to be a dream.

Sometimes you wish everything you could understand,
Sometimes you wish someone would guide you by holding your hand.

Sometimes all you wish is to go home,
Sometimes all you wish is to aimlessly roam.

Sometimes you wish to run away from office,
Sometimes that is the one place you miss.

Sometimes from everyone you wish to be apart,
Sometimes all you wish to be with the one close to your heart.

Sometimes you wish you could go an a walk,
Sometimes you wish all the roads to be blocked.

Sometimes you wish to use words like Shakespeare,
Sometimes its silence all you wish to hear.

Sometimes you wish time would just fly,
Sometimes you wish time to be standstill while gazing in someone's eye.

Sometimes you wish to keep up with the pace,
Sometimes you wish to do something new to be amazed.

Sometimes all you wish is to hit an unknown destination,
Sometimes all the maps can't navigate you in the right direction.

Sometimes the sun, moon and stars don't seem bright,
Sometimes in darkness you see light.

Sometimes all you wish is to say goodbye,
Sometimes saying goodbye brings tears in your eyes.

Sometimes all you wish is to be hugged like a soft toy,
Sometimes you like to act all coy.

Sometimes its love that all you have got,
Sometimes all that you have got doesn't seem like a lot.

It’s a sum of all these 'sometimes',
That makes you wonder and smile,
And you Realize, SOMETIMES,
It’s just hard to define.

Endurance and Success

Under the same sky we all are born
There's nothing you can't achieve.
When you feel all alone and forlorn,
Remember waves hit back with greater force every time they leave.
Topsy turvy may seem life but,there's no need to mourn,
In yourself you got to believe.
At others success don't scorn,
work hard,it's yourself you don't want to deceive.
After failure success is just waiting to be reborn.
Gather small opportunities before they are gone.
Every darkness is followed by dawn,
In god's game thou art the pawn,
Maybe small,but potential to take control,
Don't search for God,for he rests within your soul,
Let go of the badness within and thou shall attain your goal.

Children Of Lesser GOD

"Small hands can handle a pen better. Lend your support to abolish child labor."
"World revolves around the children. Children's future revolve around education. Stop Child Labor"
-ANONYMOUS

Children of lesser god......
To the world they are the black sheep,
They get trampled like the sod,
Deeper into the darkness they steep..
Grieving eyes,innocent heart together strike odd,
So little they earn,so many to keep,
Slowly earnings wither away for the Aaron's rod...
Eventually overpowered by eternal sleep,
Children of lesser god....
