TEARS OF FATE








Yet another wonderful day passed by
joy and merry was the earth and the sky
the sun beamed brightly and winking at all
While the flowers dancing and swaying tall
the brook playing the melodious harp
pebbles like it's string made the music sharp.


Yet another wonderful night passed by
the lonesome wind sung an old lullaby
took the weary flowers and the leaves
to their deep slumber and to peace
and the night was left alone for a battle
the lords of darkness ready to rattle.


But why the same sad black cloud
hovering over me amid a cheerful world
leaving my visage that turned so pale
struggled hard to hide it under a veil
the happy sunshine and the balmy breeze
stood aloof only for me to gaze.

Made me think of the futility of god
drives one to hold the dagger and the sword
an one time devotee ,now an atheist
daring .even to take arms against the priest
anger and anguish spreads through the veins
finding a way to escape the pains.

Neither found any heavenly hand
nor any magic wand
was at awe when entered this gambling game
marred my own destiny and none to blame
mistook a violet to be an evergreen flower
a wreath of thorn embroidered my bridal bower.


Picked the wrong hand and made the heavenly vow
all in the name of a truthful love
now it's just a bond,not of love but of fate
lost count of the times we used to date
life is indeed a strange game of fun
and a loveless life is the holy prize I'd won.



DREAMS




The day went by calm and peace
breaking my heart to a thousand piece
silence like cloud covered me tight
the black days stood devoid of light

frightened was i by the hours of darkness
the reminders of lost hopes and foggy dreams
night stood, its claws spread like the devil
tempting my soul to do the evil

and like a sometime friend,it smiles
grinning at a life built on lies
day or night,now matters the least
the pair holding hands to serve my last feast

was always alone though not lonely
the shimmering stars gave me company
together we wove webs of dreams
and decked it with bright beautiful gleams

my life of happiness was as
momentary ,as the colorful reveries
a short time refuge from the vagaries
reddening my lips with smiles

woke up ,i am back , like a lost child
amid silence i searched for my dream world
which shattered like a crystal globe
the pieces, which served to deck my tomb

dreams , the natural balm of relief
for the tattered minds, a belief,
a fortune for the down and the lower
a reason to live till the lease is over
