Pensive

Pile of thoughts nailed me in a wily looP

Egged me towards my forgotten desirE

Naïve heart chased a blind redemptioN

Settled for small wishes and silly glorieS

Instead of challenging the waves of alibI

Voices of emotions urged me to be a leV

Ending the era of losses towards ablazE

*Lev : Yiddish name meaning lion.*Alibi : regrets

Lightning Mystery

A lightning struck my lonely hear

Though, there were no rain clouds around

I wonder where it came from!

I wonder, what is happening with me!

I saw the ever-blue canvas of vast sky

Filled with stars, asteroids, meteorites

Planets and their countless moons

Right through the goggles of sunshine

Sun dwarfed all of them

With an attitude of an emperor

I saw the pride of a mighty ruler

While shipping back to my curious heart

I found some pockets of mystery

Left behind by that surprise lightning

Am I confused or uncertain?

Am I excited or shocked?

I am bundled with countless questions

An aura of blind hope

It has swamped over the rest of my heart

I can’t understand this feeling

Something new, but not unfamiliar

I feel, I am ready for an adventure

I don’t know where it will lead me to

I am touched by the gracious prospects

Sometimes some risks are worth

More than money, lust, and emotions

As there is a heaven of serene life

Awaiting amidst the clouds of anxious hearts

As i rewind that lightning again 

I am finding some intimate response

Emerging from those mysterious pockets

Well, I need to solve this mystery

I don’t know what is there awaiting

But, I am liking this sweet little

Mystery lightning somehow

After all this heart thrives on the mystery.Well it is a good thing to have in life at times.

Misunderstanding

All my tears can’t even make balance,

For the hard times you went through,

You tried to hide yourselves in silence

Hoping that i could see your discomfort

The emotions of your heart never reached me

Its pity, that i never saw your heart

You tried hard, not to hurt me

While I kept trying hard like it means everything

To find out the reason for your silence

When I myself is the reason, how could you tell me

I wonder how I didn’t realise it!

When you looked at my eyes

I felt, it is craving to tell something

But the lips are tightened up by emotions

Not to spell even a word to me

I tried hard, not to let a single drop of tear

To fill in my eyes, as I know, you cant bear it

I walked with you, to see you off

With a smile in face and bleeding heart

I know you can feel my emotions

Yet you can’t help yourself, nor can I

We are two sides of the same heart

As you started moving

My eyes started filling with tears

I waved you, with a hope that you will comeback

Even when i knew you wont,

Still hoping and wishing you were here
