The Clouds


I asked the clouds where they were going
What was the goal they were chasing?


Why were they weeping over people so ungrateful?

And why were they pouring over cities so dreadful?


"Who made you do it?" I shouted

It echoed and came back as I doubted


They kept on moving without even looking

Some stayed back by my constant mocking


They whispered to me while dripping slowly

"We keep on walking as it's Holy!"


"It's how God has made us to function

Who are you, little human, to question?"


"Some lives are made for others and they are meant to be lived

Not everyone can be king and it is to be believed"


"Not everyone can have a purpose and that's for sure

This truth is bitter and has no cure!"


Why was I surprised to hear the simple fact?

Isn't this life we live our's to act?


Why do we seek answers when we can't bear?

Why do truths always seem unfair?


The passing clouds taught me a lesson

You may or may not be the one chosen


Yet life is to be lived and smiled at

And we waste so many years just to learn that!


So smile with that beauty and keep on moving

It is life and just like clouds, it will keep going!

"He was never yours"

Days run into nights and I lay here Clothed body with my naked soul Still watching your surprised stare Stuck in our memories, what a fool Writing poetry every other night Pouring my heart on blank sheets Searing words, sharp and bright Drawing a broken heart's beats My girls now tired of delusional stories Reading a new poetic mess each day But I can't stop writing our glories About charm and, your mannered way Running out of new words now Yet staining papers, spilling ink Ending teary eyes everyday, how? Asking myself if you ever think Feeling childish and futile emotions They warned me, "Don't you fall!" But I ignored all their red cautions Now I stay awake, waiting for a call "You deserve better," she reinforced Screaming I said, "But he is the one" Lover's delusions left her concerned How can I convey, I love him a tonne? I beg the moon and all the shiny stars Bring back the night he was but mine Skies reply, "Dear, he was never y

September Seventeen

Image
September Seventeen and we were celebrating Chuckling together, and barefoot dancing We were drifted so far away But we promised there to stay Humming together the same song Now I wonder what went wrong? I tore all the letters written for you My dreams shattered & nightmares came true How can something so beautiful turn so ugly? Why could I never be yours truly? September Seventeen and it was your Birthday My wishes, our song and the sweet Play I fell in love with the boy in the white shirt Never knew it would turn back and hurt And it is September Seventeen again I've moved on but there is still the pain But I feel safe to know you are far Can't deal again with the emotional war So Happy Birthday to my Long-lost Lover I'm so glad our trouble is almost Over!

Dancing in the Dark

Image
  I am dancing alone in the middle of the room Invisible to your eyes, growing out of bloom All the spotlight's on me, darkness all around Invisible much? My feet moving on cold ground I keep dancing all night only for you like a doll For your perpetual ignorant bliss, I took a toll I scream and cry and dance for your attention You keep gazing away, questioning my intention I keep choosing you but you always choose them Attraction and power play; Love is but a game! I have always been a spare, it feels like ages now trapped forever in your ballroom, I ask myself how? 'Coz I keep dancing with hope, even in ignorance I keep on forgiving; questioning my own tolerance Now my feet bleed, hands drop and eyes weep my head spins like a wheel and I am falling deep I hope you at least remember in memory flashes my unconditional dancing here, as I fly in ashes?
