Her Peace
Subtleness in
her gait
A valiant
struggle to keep herself awake till late
A sincere prayer
to be forgiven
As she knelt
down and placed her head to His feet
Not a word
uttered to lure
Not a desire for
heartache to cure
To her Lord she
submitted her soul
To His Greatness
she confessed her whole
Peace she only
called for
Peace she only
called for…
A Lotus’ Strength
Drops of water
on a Lotus
Glittery from
far
A mutiny seemed
to falter afar
Bruised by the
storms of ferity
Intentions
clawed against sincerity
Drops of water
on a Lotus
Glittery from
far.
Hurt At Heart
Did I forget to
remind you?
Yeah! Did I
forget to remind to remind you?
That you are
missed most after I misunderstood you?
That the smell
of your hair wax
On my dress when
the football match bored you to a max
Had my tears
drooling frenziedly
While my anger
and my repentance argued crazily
I left my brain
with my heart
And settled down
in hibernation and watched my heart
I never ever
felt so serene
But serenity
didn’t quench my thirst, serene
Serene was only
a mirage
It only revealed
damage
I needed only a
handkerchief
To wipe off all
the misunderstanding
I needed a wave
to plunge away the hurt
From the sands
that burrowed my heart and hurt.
