The zenith moon
looked askance
as heretic dark clouds
gathered forces
to camouflage her
celestial beauty
Balefully, she
shooed them away
for trying to disallow
her from basking
in reflected glory.
Month: Jan 2019
Globe trotting
With the barrage
of news from every
corner of the world
about civil unrest,
political bankruptcy
and inclement weather
having put paid
to my wanderlust
I am putting up my feet
and surfing the net
as I don’t like feeling
at home on a vacation.
Tree of life
Love Note
Tongue tied
Words are elusive today
Teasing from afar
Having a laugh at me
I want to summon
All of them
To let you know
How I feel
To pour out my feelings
And provide glimpses
Of the secret crevices of my heart
But I am left fumbling and floundering
stuttering and stumbling…
Till they have mercy on me
Er…I hope you don’t mind waiting!
Surprise
With a heavy heart
she boarded the flight
Leaving for home did not fill her with delight
Love’s journey had come to an end
She sat forlorn with her head bent
Blinking back tears that fought for release
A deep voice asked if she would vacate the seat please
She turned to curtly tell him off
Her eyes widened, she almost fell off
Smothering a yelp of surprise
She smiled through tear filled eyes.
Fault
The fault my dear is
not in our stars it is in
our geography
Misunderstanding
They were a much envied pair
holding hands always
whispering sweet nothings
totally into each other
everyone believed
they would go waltzing
into the sunset
for their happily ever after
but life is not a work of fiction
realities have a strange way of skewing life
the glowing warmth turning into
frosted silence
a slight misunderstanding
blown out of proportion
and two lives riven apart forever.
Weather update
The forecast is teary
with some heated arguments
but with combined determined efforts
the clouds of gloom can be dispelled
and the night sky will be clear
with the moon taking centre stage
and peace all around.
Enough
Just the simple thought
that I am in your thoughts is
enough for me, dear.
