Let The Hair Open

Let the hair open and feel the breeze

succumbed to heart wrenching injuries

posing for more stimulating experiences.

Let the hair let loose like Maa Durga

be a warrior woman and ride a lion.

Be the shakti- the strength that reflects your dominion.

Let the hair flow free in the wind

and feel the power of tenacity

upholding it with utmost purity.

Let the hair fall with stance of newness

chasing every dream in the most versatile manner

creating one's valor with utmost desire.

Let the hair hold the onset of ingenuity

building the charismatic flair

laying down as calm as a mere.

Let the hair behold the power of Maa Kali

the symbol of energy- the Shakti

curating the portrait of audacity.

Time Is Going

Like the wind blows in the dark sky

and takes with it the debris

that was once scattered in belie.

Time flies faster, faster than it could

making us realise how sluggish we look.

First day of school

First day of vacation

First date

First kiss

First real relationship

First terrible breakup

First real job

First this and first that

When we're young, life is full of firsts.

Time seems to pass more slowly

everything is fresh and bran-new.

Then, we grow, and grow more fast

just floating through life

and, time passes just like that

as if a feather falls from bird's thatch.

Learn something new

Try something new

Go somewhere new

Write something new

Speak something new

Make the life new.

Like the rainbow that spreads its seven colours

in the deep blue ocean of dreams

and creates a magic for everyone to see

how beautiful life can be.

Time does fly and fly too high

aren't we capable enough?

to soar high!

Split Personality

Our face spawns a split personality

clinching onto the fake reality

of jubilation and complacency,

of repentance and despondency.

Some counterfeit,

some ignorance,

some hogwash,

some imbecility,

murkiness

or a zilch

Does someone care

or put in a state of hopeless despair?

Mutation of feelings creating a hump

pilfering the mere existence of being chump

punching in hard enough just to perceive

nothing is going to dwell or outjump.

Everything squanders spreading the ember

commingling the fragments of reminiscence

overpowering the guilt of inconsolable longing

living like a mortal with no yearning to live.
