Teardrops

Teardrops

A cascade of tears

That she had forsaken

Without any reason or rhyme

Weirdly for long she didn’t cry

Cause she was a big girl now!

A pain... she was hurt inside

A seed growing with time

Away from people she loves

Away from the place she knew

Suppressing her fears and contempt

In search of her quests

To win her battles and fears

To unravel myth and live the reality

To fall in love with the riddle called life

To find herself, a niche and a identity

With the precious pearls on her cheeks

Feels like she has unburdened her soul

A weight dropped in the fathoms

Yet she keeps missing her home

Not yet strong as she appears to be 

My Shadow

My Shadow

Paced behind

Never to shine bright

Seems dark, but...

Appears only in light

Has many myriads of mood

In all shapes and form looms

A loyal follower, silently beside

Despite all odds and stride

There in sad solitude

Even when there happy rays of hope

My silhouette, my shadow

Will be there with me always, i know

Only when its grim black

And no sun will shine

Will it leave me

In search of a luminous soul

Bordered by brawny mounts

Standing tall and stout!

Roofed by veily-clouds,

From sunny rays too loud.

Aqueous runs a steepy fall...

Radiating rainbow colors from crystal showers.

Sometimes it rains

Sometimes snowflakes!

The valley beneath...

Is a big green maze.

Scaling the heights

We drive through the climb

Reaching out to the...

Highest peak in sight

Snowcaped walls enclose the land

An embrace, can feel the warmth

A slip through the icy planes

The cold wind gushing through panes

Dinners beneath the starry night

Studded like diamonds in the sky

A dessert in day, snows at late

Mix of warm and cold climate

Children play and reflect innocence

Honesty are these people’s essence

Mesmerized, smitten and infatuated
