Where Sorrow Reigns ...
Where sorrow
reigns
Destinations
appear uncertain
Leading to long
prevailing darkness
Yet a way is lit
up to bloom the goal.
Sun sets to rise
again and again
To wipe out the
darkness around
A solitude
traveller would walk
undisturbed on a
path of
freshly bloomed
flowers of peace,
tranquility and
happiness
And the thorns
of bitterness are kept aside.
When a heart
meets another
Under a well
spread sky, free of melancholy
Clouds of sorrow
seems to disappear
Nightingale's
plaintive cry bob's up as if over
Someone whispers
at an elbow distance :
"Your goal
of life is not farther".
Left Passions...
Passions left
by the memory
trail in silence,
Down the lazy
moon .
A river runs
through
the weathered
rocks
Carrying the
debris of own wound .
In This Silent Dale
A lonely road
rarely longs for morning light '
Prefers to stay
asleep,
Fervently lost
in the arms of hazy stars
And the dark
atmosphere
That leads the
ripples in the sea
To a sparkless
state.
Silence of the
temple bells
And a melancholy
over the mosque lane
Along with a
deserted church gate
Further desolate
and declared calmness
In every nook
and corner of the hearts.
The old heart
asks ;
Who may it be
That follows me
in this silent dale ?
Is it me or any
one else?
Why do I just
wait always for a deal ahead ?
Is it because
that life
revolve around a meal ?
Fake Innocence
Fake Innocence
is a pretense of simplicity
And pride gets
shrewdly envious of such a tendency.
Coagulated
radiant dews dropping from the eyes
Appear like
crocodile tears,
Dreams burn in
anguish
And claim to be
squeezer of innocent culture.
Every heart is
endangered and entrapped
By the suicidal
weapons so invented
We prefer to
stay apparent and
Refuse to inhale
the fragrant breeze
Of sublimity of
the age old history
of the sublime
innocence.
