DIVIDED WE FALL

-
Different destinations they took
Insisting to outwit others
Venting their anger throughout
Ignoring all support given
Desperate for fame, integrity
Easily they threw away
Danger lurked in corners

Wading through the dark
Ended their joyous days

Fell down they, hard
Amongst kins had they
Leaned, blissfully secure their
Life would have been
 
 
- written for Acrostic Only ; Prompt 7

TOGETHER WE STAND

-
Treading long thorny paths
Only possible, when we
Go hand in hand
Eager to help others
Till the road ends
Have trust, understand that
Encouragement is a must
Reason out your fears

When we work united
Even nature's fury can

Surely be mitigated, so
Try to forget grudges
Alienate away bad thoughts
Navigate every heart to
Drive towards victory, together

Celestial objects swiftly move
Ornamenting the dark night
Melting tail of theirs
Emits a magnificient glow
Treasure to the eye
Sihouettes in the sky

Bond made of love
Removes all our woes
Oodles of warmth pour
These caretakers of ours
Hold, never letting go
Eradicating evils of society
Remain with us forever
Having foresights of tomorrow
Oceanic display of togetherness
Of faith and hope
Devoted friends, standing tall

Harbouring life after death

Nestled in gold plumage

Xenon of hope, sacrifice

Adolescence





picture courtesy: Radli



As I stand and stare before the mirror,
I see something sprouting out of my sides.
Shocked I see I have florescent wings like those of a butterfly.
I flap them wildly and feel my feet rise above the ground,
Harder and harder I flap them, now im floating in the air,
And scream with joy upon this newfound experience.

The vast blue sky is lit up by the sun's slanting rays,
I feel the freshness of air and the gale upon my face,
Swerving and turning I fly past pine trees who sway to
the tunes of the whistling wind,
Chirping of birds are heard echoing across the vast green plains.

As I spot a group of sparrows, I realise i've shrunk to their size,
I make a perfect landing upon a bright flower standing upright.
Oh! so soft its petals feel, as I slide down upon them
Just as I immerse myself with this unimagined happiness so everlasting,
I come face to face a young man with handsome features.
I try to reach his outstreched hands but his face begins to blur

Suddenly everything around me is shaking,
No, im beginning to shake, im confused
I recognise my old surroundings, im in my room
A shrill scream from my mother, wakes me up from my slumber
I heave out of bed and walk towards the mirror,
Hopin to see my wings again, but there's no sign of them.
I know im in the Real World now
Wishing I could merge both my Worlds,
Grudgingly I prepare myself for yet another day which goes on routinely as ever..



 
PS: Wrote this poem years ago, when in college. Had this habit of doing everything other than studying during the study holidays :D ...Hope you guys like it.
