flying in a blue sky

Flying so high, I was;
Over this world
Flying so close, I was;
Close to heaven.

I could hear the music,
Of the wordless speech.
pushed beyond the limits
of being myself.

The flight was so smooth,
I could feel the clouds,
Stopping in midair,
Why this sudden jerk!

Dropping down I was,
Like a stone into the river,
Falling asleep..
Into a stupor!!

Thanks to the pain
that made me drink
Thanks to the drink
that made me fly
Thanks to the flight
that got me asleep!!

a flaming writ

the weight of my poem
is like the canon
tied around my feet
when they threw me
into the ocean
the deepest of it..

so decided
to pen it down
the ink spread
on the paper
and i waited
endlessly
for that ink to dry

impatient i were
to wait that long
and i made a fire
and left the paper
over it to dry

caught in fire
my poem went off
dancing with flames
leaving the ashes...!!

when i cried

my tears fell
into the ocean
causing a ripple
waking a tide..

breaking
on the shore
sweeping
your feet

gave you
the tickle
and a smile you did
offer the world!!

beyond the night skies

light was getting heavy
falling like a stone..
the night getting lighter
afloat over the day..
earth was caught
in the middle of it.
light so sad,
seeing a sinful world
sank down to the bottom
of the deepest oceans..
still reborn, the light was
as just another day,
getting lighter
and flying above the night sky,
for us, under the moonlit sky
waiting for a new day..
taking us to a time
beyond the darkest nights!!

Only Child, That I Was

loner of the lot, i was
lost in thoughts
sitting at that riverside
missing a sibling
to hold my hand
to share my smile
and to stop my tears
the sibling i missed
and i got over it
when the chocolate i had
didnt have to be shared..!
