Slaughtered Hand






A mistake
Intentional or unintentional
Brought the wrath from all directions
Mobs burned his effigies
Mobs demanded his blood
Some waited for law to take its course
But a few couldn’t wait
They executed their own law
By slaughtering a hand
That wrote things they didn’t like
Though everyone has right to express
Their thoughts and opinions
From nowhere he became famous
His words made him the enemy
Of chauvinists who talks about god
But god never assigned anyone
To execute anyone
For talking against the will of god
The palm less hand strikes the eye
As the symbol of hatred
Spread by heartless
Religiously blinded chauvinists
The enemy of humanity



This is about a person whose hand was butchered by some anti-social miscreants for expressing radical opinions.

Strength Within






Strength isn’t the ability of someone to thrash things
It isn’t the trait of a man who can slam down opponents
It isn’t the cavalry of an arrogant dictator with weapons
It isn’t a toy that can be bought in a mall with a credit card
Strength is the cloud of emotions that can keep one alive
When all the tough situations drag one towards a trench
When the whole world is against you and you are cornered
You never look for a weapon or hideout
You look for strength within the soul at that time
I saw the strength through the words of a girl
Who laughed and fought with me, during her last days
After knowing that she won’t survive after four months
When she came to say goodbye to all the friends
I saw the strength within her to face the worst
Just two days before she died
I saw strength within in the eyes of my dad before he died
As he strived to catch one more breathe to survive
I saw the strength within myself when I signed the document
That proclaimed his death, without shedding any tears
I found strength within when I tried to console my Mum
As she eagerly asked about his survival
I had to reveal the truth cold-hearted
I felt the strength within in the trembling voice of a girl
Who was within moments away from leaving this world
To get back to the life and win over the tough battle
There is no need for riches or advice if one can discover
The strength within the heart, to fight back in life
From any adversities that pop up from time to time



This post is written for Bridget Chumbley's blog carnival, on the topic of strength.

Isla Amor




Isla Amor
A small island of curse
In the Brazilian seaway
Surrounded by white beach
Lush green with bushes and coconut trees
Bought for romantic honeymoon
Turned out to be the last straw
In a relation
Now one of the cheapest islands
Something painful for owner
Trying to forget at the best
About a lost wedding diamond ring
A ruined honeymoon
Mysterious downfall of a doggie
A failed attempt to cheer
The Heartbroken wife
Horrible hours of dehydrations
A long wait for help from mainland
Bed ridden days in clinic
And a tragic divorce aftermath
May be it’s a lucky land
That measured the depth of love
 That didn’t existed as he expected
He showered his wealth to make her happy
But she couldn’t bear a tough day
Neither his riches was able stop her from leaving
Nor his painful tears of love
Isla Amor, teaches the lesson
True love stands by at all tough times
Glittering feelings vanishes in moments forever
He may call it as Isla Cadella
Instead of Isla Amor 
But it’s his lucky charm that freed him
Towards a world of true love,
That he will discover one day


 This poem is totally inspired by an ad of an island for sale. For more details check out Isla Amor

Bleeding Tears



You cry, when you are hurt
It is same with others
When you hurt someone
You might not know, the depth of their wounds
That you inflicted upon their hearts
As you are kept away, from those grief
As they believe,
You won’t be able to understand it
They just wish a piece of mercy from you
Some moments of peace away from you
It’s not due to any hatred
They just wish for some calmer times
Not to be hurt furthermore
As they prefer to cry in the loneliness
Without letting, anyone see their tears
Sometimes, excessive tears can induce bleeding
Through the nose without any warning
The more they love you
The tears will be harder to stop
As they don’t expect you to hurt so bad
Unlike others
They panic to control the blood and tears
Yet without any anger or ill feelings
It’s cruel not to see the depth of that love
Be it friendship or any relation
You don’t have any right to hurt anyone
Even if they have hurt you once in past
Even if you don’t care
At least can spare them with their plight
If you care, apologize from heart
All those tears will melt down into relief
As you are someone with high esteem in their heart
Control your anger when you are with your beloved
Your words have power to heal or hurt
Measure it with precision to constrain
As even, you don’t wish to cause anyone to bleed
Unintentional, yet if someone bleeds with tears
Care them and make them feel better
And never make them cry again
Tears are dangerous than you think
There is no point in loving from heart
If you can’t show it when it matters
Sometimes words are enough to console
Spare some words and use the better ones  
Rather than cussing, just tell with calmness
What you feel, they will understand
If you wish their happiness
Never let them cry with your words
Cos tears bleeds sometimes
It’s painful than you can imagine 


Some times i find hard to control anger.Only later i realise that,ive hurt someone when i was angry.Well,unintentional rants can land someone in trouble with tears,Experience taught me this lesson.

Time


I wish to cease the time 
So that i could save some 
As it is running so fast
Leaving me desperate to catch
Some breath in between my quests 


This poem derived from my feeling that 24 hours isn't enough to complete the tasks on a given day.I am lazy enough,but strive to do a lot,reaching nowhere. Yeah, i would love some planet where there are more than 24 hrs available in day.Lol.
