LOVE-TIE

That is a string you see
No no, not a rope,its a string
you don't hang on to it, you do that to ropes
strings are fragile, you don't even hold on
you just tug at it
so you see, you have to handle it gently
and do you know what can keep it strong?
be the layers of fiber on it?
There is one that of trust
it lays at the core
holding the string strong
and it can be blinding you know
the trust
it develops over time, and yet
 it is fragile too.
If mishandled,
it snaps right back at you
and all the years that weaved it
they turn into shards in a blink
So you must keep it strong
And then there is respect
Big word eh? 'Respect'?
It comes with admiration
you don't just have to love
you must respect, 'cause if not given
 the loved one doesn't feel loved
and then she can never be brought back
mind it my friend, never 
'cause she is gone and vanished
and the string is now broken
you keep extending your arms out
while she, never comes back
and your arms remain empty
forever.
Maybe, she has died.

Never Hold On


Life has it's own ways of teaching you. Mostly, the hard ways.

Bring me not the hearts
That will slip away and say good bye
Let me not to the shards
Of broken links, that all but sigh

Lend me not creepers that are attached
Yet give me, that grows and forever winds 
For when, on hearts, are hearts latched
Another beautiful heart, it hardly finds

Take me to the utopia
where breaks are not seen or heard
or grant me the euphoria 
of hearts conquered, love unaltered

If not all this, teach me. 
To let that hand slip away
Not to cling and let'em be
Not to hold on, let'em sway

yet teach me not to give up
for lost hope is love lost and removed
teach me to let go....gracefully
for if it comes back, you know it is never removed

Macabre or Audacity



Shun the society, and the norms,
They thought
Shunned they were, from the shalom,
They sought

Anticipated something, the daylight got else,
Alas! Abysmal!
The journey though the dark, the climb up the wells,
In vain. Dismal!

They seek no more than acceptance
A freedom
Macabre it is, even the admittance 
Hence, seldom

Felons they are not, yet now, are they?
Call it delinquency?
They only want to be happy and ‘gay’
Call it audacity!

Reverie



I swivel, I gush, I rush, never easel
As I take twists and turns
I spiral, I merrily laugh as I dwindle
To the ocean where surf churns

I befriend the ferns, I caress the silt
I am free and a master of will
I can tumble and whirlpool and tilt
I am free and a master of will

Now, I am the wind and I sway in air
I play music through the trees that rustle
I run through the grass, at times I blare
I play with the kites that are in a bustle

I waltz like a breeze with the damsel’s locks
Stretching her lips as she savours
My cool, my sound, and my whiff, my mock
As The pansies in the garden become my players

I am back from my dreams, I have touched veracity
I am just a girl and I am bound
My movements are restricted, have lost all audacity
I am just a girl and I am bound
