Hanging Clouds

 

Stubborn clouds

Hanging from the sky above

Against the walls of memories,

automate hours together

through a mundane scale.

 

The muddy night becomes speechless

While a lonely heart undergoes an inharmonious beating

And dries like a leaf of autumn

The promises of childhood of picking pebbles

at the foothills vanishes.

 

Promises are like droplets of water

Keep on changing forms

Wild wind and a bemired night understand it better.

 

Sleeping Night

 

When the night

Slips into deep sleeps in seclusion

And dreams

It strives to add more feels to the poems

Of a lonely poet

and those appear impressive

And enchanted.

 

When the dawn wakes

And the world is enlightened

The poet completes the poem with his last note

And there burns a poem

To shine forever on this mortal world.

 

The shadows, the candle flames

The pieces of papers, the nibs of the pens

And above all the poet himself,

Can speak how arduous it is to dedicate

A poem of passion to the humanity.

 

No doubt

The poet encourages to go through his saga

where his golden foot prints in the coast of time

inspires a wrecked ship of humility

to cross the wild tides of life.

 

Secrets Of Heart

 

The darkness of the deep blue eyes

Corroborating the abyss in the waters of a ocean

Hides many a secret of century - old stories

Of life and its evolution.

 

My silent heart

Off and on discovers those secrets

And filters the essence

Out of those deserted eyes in the dark nights.

 

Poetry of a wandering mind

Fantasies out of secret desires

And dreams of the buried relationship

Enhances the inquisitiveness

Beyond the bundles of street gossips.

 

World is a bundle of knots in a web

He must be knowing well

Kissing the wild wind in the

Silence of summer nights

Might strengthen the knots 

With an unified convenient.
