Concealed emotions

Simpler truths

  complicated lies

We are cloaked 

it is a disguise 

When anger in heart

 silence is sought    

When tears in eyes

 on lips smile is brought

When anxious in gut

 forced sureness in stance

When love felt throughout

 deliberate ignorance in glance

When disagree with someone

  just  Keep it mum

When don't believe in someone 

  merely play it dumb

When there is wrong occurred 

  closed eyes

When there is right defended 

 nobody complies  

Simpler truths

   complicated lies

We are cloaked 

 it is a disguise 

With every lie

 truth is mislaid

With disguise 

  humanity is dead 

               

  

To each other

It was evident in your eyes
I saw, the moment,u left
The Regret....with each other


It was illusion,we created
I inferred,the moment, u left
The Love....for each other


It was tragic, we endured
I felt,the moment, u left
The Deceit....to each other
  

Quit?

                

                                                                Questions asked

                                                                Unanswered & left

                                                                Induced anxiety

                                                                Triggered Death wish in me.. 

                                                                             

Prayer

 

  A silent prayer,of a homeless child

  Looking at iron gates,and wishing to be inside

  No toys, no clothes and not even sweets

  That’s not what she wants and her heart needs

  She wants to hold pencil in her hand

  She wants to write on paper not on sand

  She wants uniform and sing a Morning Prayer

  She wants to play in the ground and be a team player

  Though she lives on the streets and begs for food

  All alone, she struggles, to earn her livelihood

  Yet, those small hands are wishing to reach sky

  Nothing matters when you aim high

  Simple wish to learn and to get educated

  Without any objection let it be granted

So....

His words were emollient

For my battered heart

It was derelict

From people’s bogus love

And vulpine support

My plethora of trust for them

Made this pain inevitable

So I cried, So I cried

Yet, I couldn’t kiss life goodbye

Cause I believed in good things

And in my good deeds ,

So I waited, So I waited

For my angel to come

And to heal my pain

And give me a reason to smile

And to sustain…

As he entered in my life

He revived my heart

With his benevolence

And unconditional love

So I laughed, So I laughed

Again….

Me

I stopped writing
I really don’t know why
Did I forget to weave words?
Or my emotions went dry?
So, without words I lived for a while
I didn’t liked it, I was sad, mad and rile
I kept on telling myself I can’t write
I left my ink, pen and paper out of sight
For time being I felt fine
I went out for dance and to dine
Yet, there was void in my soul
I was together but not whole
I heard my heart and its simple plea
That something was missing inside me
I looked for an answer or little clue
To find out, what I need to see through
And it suddenly dawn on me
That I have to write , to just be me….

Sunlight recedes     
        And the night awaits
                         Birds come home
                                And dusk elates


Roads turn still &
               Sky turns scarlet
                          Breeze turns cold
                                          And Sun sets


Clouds look gray
       After losing their glow
                   Some stars twinkle
                             Anticipating moon’s arrival




Yet the world can see
         There is glowing soft light
                      It’s has an aura of romance
                            It’s Twilight! It’s Twilight ! It’s Twilight

Adios!!!

Dedicated to all my students...




The day you entered in my cabin
Scared and Spooked.
Reluctant to come in
and disinterested you looked
Hundreds of questions in your mind
about me and my cave
You refused to answer to the smile I gave
You thought everybody dislikes you
and that's why you were sent here
I knew you felt like a caged bird
as if you were grounded for the whole year
As I started talking to you
about me and what I do
You listened to my words
yet believed my words were untrue
I could see fear in your eyes
and in your trembling hand
I wanted to you to know
how you feel, I understand
So I gave you a great deal of time
to get used to me and trust me
I didn't force you to accept
anything you don't want to be
So days passed by and sessions
come and went
You started coming on time
and liked the time we spent
I taught and You learned
along that, your trust I earned
You work hard for your exam
and got good marks.
I saw confidence in you and
your eyes with sparks
Quietly I told you
I am proud of you..
You were a smart boy
I always knew..
You looked at me
and gave me a smile
You know that tiny smile
made my life worthwhile...
