Poetic Thoughts

A beautiful face With keen, bright eyes That could leave you in a trance And not notice how time flies That’s who she could have been If only you had given her a chance However, under the society’s eyes unseen You snatched her away in her trance She came into this world Just like any other baby But the poisonous words of a little bird Made all other things seem hazy Carrying her away in your hand You made sure she was all bundled up And hastening across the silent land You didn’t even realize she had cuddled up Long after that you reached your destination A huge outcrop jutting off a cliff And quick as a flash without any hesitation You held her over the edge, your back stiff Just as you were about to hurl her down You looked at her with eyes radiating hate so deep And as she beheld her killer’s eyes, she gave a yawn And drifted into an endless sleep

Written in the skies are the fates of a million lives Riding the clouds from yonder with wonder As the past till the future flashes by Cravings of love and emotion lay the common feeling For two souls have never been so similar and yet so different It’s sad that few moments of laughter Is almost always triumphed by pathetic thoughts of loneliness Just because time flew during those few moments we felt alive Doesn’t mean we haven’t had our proper share of them For two individuals have never been so perfect for each other Apart we’re two but together we’re one If I could go back in time I would hit the pause button on life And relive those priceless moments For you and I make the world’s greatest team

After a long and tiring day The sun dips down the horizon Gently it withdraws its nurturing rays Over countries numbering a ‘gazillion’ Just before the night takes over There comes a time, With little rays of sunlight left over Interspersed with silver moonbeams brighter than dime While night flowers bloom in all their beauty A cool, gentle breeze wafts by Carrying with it a sense of tranquility As a gentle light fills the sky Out scampers a badger Along with an owl and a bat While mice, fearing for their lives scamper Even outrunning a surprised cat! The air is filled with the noise Of various night creatures As they get ready with poise For their routine night ventures Oh! How I wish I could stay Locked in time before the arrival of night? For, no matter what others say, Nothing is as beautiful as ‘twilight’!
