War On Children

painted deep red
eyes locked in the future
I barely lived

Girl From Small Town

A girl from small town
A poet, a joker, a nosey clown
Runs around and laughs out loud
For she is thankful for the beautiful day

The blooming colors
The entwined garlands
The warmth and the chill in the air
Makes it a perfect day
A day she longs to remember
Through the year
A day she hopes will last
Through the year
A day she was born on
A day she wishes to live in
Forever
A day which is red, green and blue,
A day which is yellow, orange and brown
It is her birthday
Birthday of a girl from small town

No big parties,
No big gifts
She hopes for just
Small little bliss
Her friends,
Her family,
Her town
Around her
With her
Her world wrapped
In her world

Cheerful with smiles galore
Singing loudly
Rocking the floor
On her birthday
On my birthday

What more could I ask for
Small little moments of joy
On my birthday
For I am a just a girl
From a small town

Dusk

Waiting for its lover
Sun praying on the beach
Eternal quest to meet

The night in full glory
Hugging the orange hue
Filling its heart with the dancing rays

The union lasts for few moments
Eyes burnt and heart filled
A life spent and a life lived

Marigold

Summery and soothing
Fragrance of an Indian wedding

Petals on Petals
Dancing together

Green submerged like a child in a womb
Filling the cavity, growing with a bloom

Layered like a sea wave
Each layer majestic 
Each wave poetic
Conjoined but separate
Woven in a sonnet
Growing out of brown
Stemming from a cave

 

Tiny green hands
Holding on to petals
Like a child attached to roots
Inspite of being a rebel

Orange like a sunset
All ready to wave goodbye
All set to drown
But followed by a rise
Promising like a dawn
Of a better tomorrow

Million flowers growing and blooming
Swaying through the wind
Dancing to the music

Tall and soaring
Proud and enthralling
Usual yet precious
Gold in a pot
Flaming and hot
My marigolds

Obsession

I fall in and out of love
I am born and I die
I travel countries and I fly
I break my heart and I break others’
I live through you, lavish tales in a book

I fall and I get up
I loose and I win
I forgive and I forget
I move and move on
I dance and groove on
I live through you, my little one

You are fiery and you are cool
I cry and I snicker
I am speechless and I talk to you
You shut up and listen
I live through you, my nibbles on a plate
