Prank

Two legs surfaced on an idle lake

Made the sleepy leisure hunters abruptly anxious

A weird hat in the vicinity

Added fire to the intensity

Until a pretty girl rose like a dolphin

Africa

A land of colors, cultures, and wildlife

From where the ancestors of humans

Rose into prominence in this big world

Ill-treated for centuries in the dark ages  

Carries the hope of millions of deprived

As they try to rise in the new world order

Disgruntled workforce

Gruel some nature of contemporary jobs

Rips apart the high levels of expectation

Impatient peers consistently moves on

Making lame excuses of unbearable stress

All along in this competitive business world

Casting doubts over the human comforts

Exhilarating the demands of parity in pay

Pushing people towards ambitious productivity regime

Hastens their desire to exit for less turbulent pastures

After all everyone wish to work for securing their families

Seeking all their energy and time for unrealistic deadlines

Endangers the harmony of an aspiring peaceful work space

Stuck on a boring job that extracts the skills with betraying pay

Tires out even the hearts of ever-loyal passionate employees

Unless there is motivation in the form of promotion and perks

Mind it, no body wish to live for the sake of working all the time

Better time- frames and work distributions can ease the nerves

Instilling fresh confidence in  an out of sorts insecure work force

Eager to have ample time to enjoy their lives with the loved ones

Outsider’s prize

Life turned out to be nothing more than a joke

When a demanding relation leveraged emotions

As if, every fault was committed by one sinful soul

Though two souls make a couple and a relation

All the efforts to save the nostalgic company

Went busting like the oil spill in a harmonious sea

As it became impossible to clean up the dirt

From the murky landscapes inside the hearts

As efforts got marred by thick layers of hatred

It turned out to be desperate fight to win a war

On a non-existent cause, as things turned out to be

A toothless foolish prank from an innocent lust

That did’t last the distance, as bubbles don’t last long

It had to burst with implications beyond expectations

As the rolling chair of lust moved to another direction

The clouds kept the sun away from the truth for long

Until it rained and revealed them through floods of tears

By then, time had healed the scars of horrible piercings

Over the senseless taunts, jealousy and deception

That caused clashes between multiple egos

With one trying to protect the much loved glorious prize

And the other one trying to snatch away the lost possession

In between these insane ego wars, prize lost its sheen

The desire vanished to the infinity while seeking peace

Remedy came in the form of fate as an outsider came in

With a claim on the prize with the support from around

Inevitable break-up and the agonizing loss welcomed

The helpless souls to a question, what did they achieve?

Nothing but tears, hatred to end up with nothing

As the outsider took away the prize with much delight!

It was Love at first sight

 

It took me to a world, beyond skies, tears and joy

Was I dreaming or just lived a surprise worth a lifetime!

Love, it has conquered my ever-wandering heart in a flash 

At once, I saw her dazzling eyes brimming with a divine hope

First, it was disbelief, but she swept away my fears with a smile 

Sight, I will never forget that, for all the rich treasures in this world
