Month: June 2024

I stood there, all alone,
Wondering if I’ll ever come to be known;
Tears cascading down my face,
Facing my worst fears with grace;
I stood scared in the dim alcove,
The thought of not having a future drove.

The world stood in front of me,
My choice – unshackled like a bird, or entangled, I see;
But I hesitated,
Lost in a labyrinthine path I created;
Would I make out of this?
Soon find the way to bliss?

I had to do it, break free from the cage,
And make my mark on the world’s page.

Hope arose, striking my mind,
It was up to me to bind;
I showed my face to everyone,
And the beautiful sun shone.

For the first time, I felt elation,
No need for vacillation;
I was out there,
No more scare,
No fears, no tears;
Now that I’ve done it, planted the longing seed,
It appears much less daunting than before, I concede.

Fun With Maths!

M.A.T.H.S is a word
Feared by most,
But I am in love
With its big calculations
Making precise decisions
There is no fear only amazed,
By the man who buys 98 bananas!
By the girl who wore 52 pyjamas!
By all the people who come and go
From the bank that offers interests high and low.
Well I know,
Compounding is difficult
With large numbers and heavy calculations,
Sometimes I wanna call up
The writer and say,
“Hey man, why you makin’ my life so difficult !!??”
Sometime I wanna write a letter to maths and say,
“I am done solving your problems, go find yourself a lawyer and a judge !”
But what can I do, Maths sticks to me like superglue!

A Pretence to Help

Save the planet! Save the planet!
Is all everyone says,
But nobody knows the ways.
This planet we call our mother,
We have to take care and nurture.
Only words won’t help!
Actions are to be taken
And debates to be held.
Find solutions, end problems
Coz procrastination won’t help,
Can’t you hear your mother yelp?

Life and Hide and Seek Biscuits

Life is always not so bad, not so difficult. It is like Hide and Seek biscuits sometimes with lots of choco-chips and sometimes with less, but you enjoy it either way.
Being happy is about letting yourself win over your fears. Defeating problems and winning over difficulties. It is about letting yourself lose to the feeling of euphoria without worrying about anything.
It is the feeling of chasing your passion without a care of the world.

Butterfly

It’s free and so wild;
Vividly it radiates,
So lovely and careless;
It wonders and wonders at the end,

It’s dainty and unbound,
Dazzling with glee,
How I’d love to see,
See her fly free,
Like she was bound to be seen,

The flowers and wind,
The grass and zephyr,
How dearly they bestow
on the lovely little butterfly,

In a life of harmony,
So much beauty and free,
How I’d love to see, I’d love to see,
And may be forever free,
In unbound glee.

 

The Goddess of Living

Gaia, the goddess of heart and soul;
On outside so serene;
but shedding tears of her melting soul,
The mother, so tender and benevolent;
Yet fight to survive.

Soon she’ll get tired, get tired of the atrocities;
the inhumane in the human,
The monster in us;
The subjugation and fear, the cages at her rear,
The smog and the shackles
Held onto her so callously.

The moment mother turns and wrenches;
The day she’ll have enough;
The day shackles of rage shall shatter.

Heavens would pray through to no help,
She’ll leave humanity to knee,
Beseeching and crying and screeching like once she did,
And deaf she’ll be to all the noise, like once to her.

Mother of humanity,
Yes, she cherishes us all and all so dearly,
But shall you rend the heart of that precious soul,
But shall you slaughter the love she always bore,
All that shall happen is that humanity is never bound to repair,
For Gaia,
She’s the mother of heart and soul.
