Silver Promise

 


A silver filigree carved with finesse

With layers of sparkling gold dust

And a pendant made of platinum

He wants to see it shine in her neck

It epitomizes his desire and affection

He wishes to gift it to her as a promise
To be her cohort in life forever

Lost Girl

 



I have seen the transformation of a girl,

From a tenacious teenager to a pretty lady,

While making me her secret keeper,

I saw her transform from a friend to a lover,

Showering me with love and compassion,

I saw her turning foe, with bitterness

Showering me with hurtful words

When it came to choosing love or family,

She feared that her family will disown her,

She chose to leave me behind forever!

Library of Souls



Library of souls,

A place to embrace the silence of the afterlife,

To let go of the burden from the past life,

Where one could communicate with mere presence,

Where you can find the long lost buddies,

And those bete noires,

Share all the pain from the previous life

and the dearest memories,

And dream together about new lives!

Fear of Love

 


She's listening to the melancholy

Of her beloved's sweet mutterings.

He felt he found a tender soulmate.

Again, after the demise of a bone-deep romance,

That withered his dreams and desires,

She is tempted for an eternal journey with him,

Until death part them apart

Depression Effects

 


My nightful behaviours changed,

As depression twisted my mind,

Sleep is beyond my control,

I surrendered myself to medicines,

Instead of listening to contorted lullabies,

I couldn't watch late-night football,

Nor sunrise,

I found my relief in poetry!

Silent Love



Their romance echoes in the mist,

They exchange glances,

While walking in the park,

They freed their smiles,

They shared their hearts,

Silently over the months,

Without uttering a word,

He follow her upto her street

To get a special smile for the day

They wait for the morning to meet

again, And engage in their silence

He used fingers to express how pretty

she was, On days when she looked

traditional, They found ways to tell

if they won't come next day,

He rode his scooter in front of her

college, She showed him an angry face

He told sorry with hands on his ears

Next day, he plucked the flowers

she touched, And left a letter for her

She took the letter from the grass

He had confessed his love for her 

Her eyes sparkled with joy and 

he was over the moon, She waited 

for him at the coconut stall,

She gave him her landline number,

Told him to call when she's alone,

The start of their love journey

Beyond the boundaries of the park!

Hoot



Dark night taunts with silence,

Shadows are waiting to emerge,

While the moon played

hide and seek with clouds,

While all found solace in sleep,

The lone guard of the night remained awake,

With brimming eyes,

Hooting with all fury,

To break the silence and haunt the fearful

Breaking Free



Determined to break free

Away from the tangles of medicines

Under which I remain stress-free
Need new direction in life
Towards a new destiny
Letting go of a miserable past
Easing towards a fearless journey
Sticking to the newfound belief
Solidly to sail afar


A poem based on a prompt from #SalemVerse Image from Unsplash

Bare Mind

 



Bare mind,

Stripped off thoughts,

Filled with loneliness,

Let time race away,

While lost in nowhere,

Feeling free from obligations,

Not bothered about anything,

Depressed Mind



I am in a battle with my mind,

It never stops thinking,

I took the help of psychiatric medicines,

To control my mind and to get sleep,

Now I feel that I am caged,

I am trying to find pathways,

To get rid of medicines,

Depression is a not so easy battle to conquer

Suffocated Cities

Unable to breathe 
Screams in agony 
The dwellers in cities 
They live in clouds
Full of toxic gases
Emitted by human greed
Trees can absorb some of it 
But they're replaced with 
Steel and concrete jungles
Rain forests are converted to 
Monoculture plantations

Different Paths


We disappeared to different worlds, 
Living lives of different dreams,
Our paths may never cross each other,
We are at a safe distance,
Content that we exist somewhere,
With no intent to enquire about how we are,
As there is no space for the past,
In the new love journey

Tribal Justice

He was frightened as his tribal folks,
Sorrounded him and stared with anger,
The tribal elders gave the verdict,
Hundred larrups to him,
For breaking the laws of the forest,
By allowing outsiders to steal the herbs,
And the methods of preparing medicines,
Their traditional wisdom is priceless, They passed it to the new generation, As per their tradition, With full faith in their youth
Pharma company gave him some money and alcohol,He succumbed to the greed

Army Selection

Time has passed for the rest,
They've reached the finishing point,
After running miles along the track,
As per the guidelines,Sweating profusely,
Soldiers showed the way to the victors,
Towards the next event,Another challange,
They've physically demanding tasks to complete,Before they can be assured,
Of a job in the army, To serve the nation and earn, Only the best get the chance

A Gaze at Sky

We gaze at sky full of stars,
Laying on the beach,
On full moon nights,
Listening to the tunes of waves,
We interpret star formations, 
We wait for shooting stars,
To make a wish,
We wish to build a glass roof at home,
To keep gazing at the stars,
While we lay on our bed

A Spoon Full of Dreams

A spoonful of dreams,
Now tastes like rotten meat,
Not worthy of pursuing,
All that hopes of creating a life with someone,
Looks like a demolished home,
As rubbles of wishes left scattered,
All that time spent and emotions harboured,
Now worthless like demonetised currency

A joint

Joint of marijuana is heavenly 
For my buddies who seek Nirvana
I've seen them smiling endlessly
I've seen them revealing secrets 
When they're in a stoned stage 
They shared joints at night parties
The air become earthy with smoke 
Overpowering the aroma of spices

Snow in Tropic

I wish we could get real winter,
In this tropical coastal area,
With snow falling like monsoon rains,
Veiling the beaches with lush snow bed,Freezing the rivers and lakes,
Turning hills into skiing spots, 
Coating coconut trees white,
And filling the gutters in roads

What's left of life?

What's left of life?
Years to explore world
Visit unknown places 
As a wanderer 
Meet new people 
From diverse cultures
Learn their histories 
And make friendships 
Taste the spicy foods
Unique to each region
Drink water from oasis 
Ride a camel in desert 
Learn unknown languages 
Speak those to the natives 
Climb the hills with trekkers
Glide on the snow mountains
But a piece of peaceful land 
Build a home of the dreams
Grow a forest in barren land
See sunsets at lonely beaches
Cross the oceans in a cruise ship
Swim in pristine lakes and creeks
Read the masterpieces of writers 
Write poems and stories until I die 
Find someone with similar interests

Border

 

A window of hope

Closed with barbed wires 

At the border of Belarus and Poland

Thousands of refugees 

Caught in between the politics of Europe

While they chose a hard journey

To reach this far

Away from the miseries in their homelands

They dream about a better life in Europe

They're now stuck in the forest in Belarus

Waiting for an opportunity to cross the border

Even as the armed men trying to close all openings

On the Polish side

Some are lucky as they crossed the border

But their future is still uncertain 

They could be deported back to their countries

As the winter embraced the landscape

People are desperate to cross the border

While surviving with whatever given by NGOs

The burning of woods remain the only source of heat

People lie close to each other with blankets

To beat the cold while awaiting their opportunity

To cross the border

Lake in Kollam



Chinese fishing nets along the lakeshore
Waiting for fishes to find their way to the net
It was a surprise as it was seen mostly in Kochi 
I watched the nets from the boat jetty
Enjoying the peace and the breeze 
Explored the lake that looked huge
Away from the bustles of the cities 
Children were playing in the shallow waters
There is a temple nearby with plenty of trees
There were concrete benches for relaxing 
It was a tourist place that attracted strangers 
With my friend, I waited for the bus
From the distance, we saw a huge boat
Full of passengers, heading towards the jetty
We wondered why we didn't come by that boat!
