One cold winter morning
as I stepped out yawning,
I noticed a little puppy
who seemed homeless and hungry.

He roamed about my street
sniffing for remains of food ,
The food which I didn’t wish to eat
those leftovers he so much valued!!

He didn’t stop for rest
even though it was cold and freezing ,
He tirelessly continued his quest
maybe he was accustomed to this drudging!!

As he moved past me
I noticed he was tired and glum,
but his weary eyes suddenly lit up with glee
when he noticed me holding a bread crumb.

He playfully ran towards me
wagging his tail delightfully,
Snatching the crumb from my hand
he ran away making no more demand.

He joyfully ate those pieces few
which put an end to his endless search,
Mabe he hoped he found me the next day too
to save him from the tiresome lurch.

Let’s be kind to these innocent and speechless creatures.Adopt a street puppy or atleast offer food and shelter to him.Try not to harm them if not protect them

 The land which once belonged to me
is no longer my territory,
It’s been grabbed by some settlers
who claim I am their ancestor!!

The trees on which I used to swing
they don’t exist anymore,
they’ve been replaced for housing
these selfish and greedy hordes.

Now I’m leading a life of misery
for no longer does my home exist for me,
I’m homeless……I’m hungry ……
but these mindless humans on my plight show no mercy.

I’ve got no means to live
I have no place for shelter,
I’ve been made captive
just for their ruthless pleasure.

I’m a troubled chimpanzee…….
but I don’t want to “ape” their nasty actions,
I just wish to tell them politely
that they have no right to meddle with God’s creations!!

A’withered flower’, that’s what I am
I’ve lost my beauty I’ve lost my charm,
my life’s become a shallow sham
as I near my senescence in this farm!!

My reflection now lacks lustre
it shows no radiant shine,
The pearl like droplets of water
no longer on my petals align.

My youthful blush has faded in a week
the sun’s fury has’nt spared me,
The color which made me once unique
no more makes me a delight to seek.

The pretty birds which once
fluttered close to me all day,
silently stealing my fragrance away
now no longer that love they display.

The bees have turned away
the butterflies don’t come my way,
They’ve all displayed greed
was it only for BEAUTY they dallied??

A girl played in the mud
she was a yet to bloom bud
blessed with naive innocence
her face defined silence.

Her hands were soiled by sand
her face was suntanned
and that smile quite mild and bland.

Her lips were desperate to speak
as tears quietly sneaked
to my shock she was voiceless
but this did’nt deter her
from telling me tales endless.

She expressed with her eyes
which substituted for her voice
even her heart clamoured and made noise
but everything was mercilessly devoiced.

Deep love for music she displayed
and desired to sing some day
If she will ever be able to sing I’m not sure
but for me…from that moment she had become
the best singer in the world!!

I’ve lost my long battle with time …..
every ‘unbeaten’ emotion has been subdued
and all ‘heroic’ feelings disproved
in my insane pursuit to stay prime.

It was my folly to challenge
the one who is hard to fixate
and even harder to locate
I should have guessed sooner
defeat was written in my fate.

For long I kept chasing him
but he constantly raced ahead
what time made me realise was
either I walk with him or just be led
but never should I dare to
either overtake or dash ahead!!

Life is extremely short
try and make the most of it,
happiness you must exhort
to make a blissful end to it…

Joy comes in a million shades
but sadness is usually dark,
life often runs into darkness
to brighten up it just needs a spark…

The spark perhaps is a beaming smile
which brightens up every soul,
its a curve that stretches more than miles
to reach every heart is its only goal……

so keep smiling:)

Come hold my hand and give me a chance
to take you to a place….you’ve never seen
….where birds never perch silent
…..and the beasts are not violent
Nature this fresh and nascent
you’ll never elsewhere see…..

Come hold my hand and give me a chance
to take you to a place…..you’ve never seen
…..where rivers are steady
…..skies rarely display fury
and the days are never cloudy
Always under the sun…..a day does begin and cease

Come hold my hand and give me a chance
to take you to a place….you’ve never seen
…..where trees in joy sway
and cheerfully wind’s messages they convey
…..where flowers are forever in bloom
wishfully spreading their fragrant perfume…..

Come hold my hand and give me a chance
to take you to a place….. you’ve never seen
…..where dreams are never small
…..where hopes are always tall
…..and where there is enough love for all

~Come hold my hand…..give me a chance~

My shadow refuses to be led
bland tears it endlessly sheds
for a distinct identity it begs …..
Light exhibits apathy
and darkness just stands a mute spectator
to this one of a kind parody…..

Achievements tamper with dreams
pride and feats team….
showing hope the door
forcing aspirations to implore!!

Love leaves it’s home
giving malice time to sneak
all affections are ousted
leaving my heart cold and weak….

Time has come to figure
the cause of these disasters
was it ignorance or was it tolerance
which triggered these adversities??

Whatever be it….
it needs to be handled with sheer wit,
giving emotions no chance to intrude
and mess up this already intense feud!!
