AGOG

AGOG

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

Closed or Locked? 

The doors are shut

What lies beyond? 

Curious and racing pulse

Would a knock suffice ? 

It may open in response

Should heed advice?

O to take a chance!

A pandemonium of thoughts

Of what could it be, what nots!!

The flood ensue

A search for clues

To stare at it?

Will break it down

And unravel the veiled truth

But what will it be worth?

And atrocious questions again

Brew in my agog brain!!

Threads of dreams i spin

Of cloudy cotton yarns of thoughts 

As the moonlight dims

The shines and stars i count on

The days are vested on you too

Will to die to live upto you!

Tangled in the circle of life

With your love, its now a soulful ride.

Feel my feet tapping in joy

In thy enchanting melody my soul sparkles and shines 

The madness is beyond measure

Reminds me my limits and lines

Likes of the great philosopher and poet Bulleh Shah,

Who lost himself for the love of life

I too have lost and shed my fears now,

As i stand tall to reach you through all the strides.

The Island

The Island

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

The washed away rocks and sands of shore

Amidst the blues, of the Ocean floors

Unchartered terrains....

Where only the suave silence looms.

No hunts, no kills

A want of desire 

No barters, no exchange

Nobody to hire

Not a hint of life

No gleaming fires

No kiss, no love

No cupid lyres

Forgotten summers and without rains 

Now its parched

A constant winter,

Only cold and lonely lasts

Unlikely Utopia,

Its the barren island vast!

Lost

LOST

A walk, a stroll on the garden path

The pebbles and rocks i tread not

Footsteps imprint but no marks left

Only shadow trails i carry on

No arrows , no signs, no guide no light

The fear is deep, but i am scared not 

The blades of green, sparkles of hope 

As i pave my way to get lost......!!

Asphyxiation

ASPHYXIATION

Bubbled up is the vacuum,

No air to breathe in the room

Withered and frail are the old blooms

The sounds of cries, and painful croons

Burning blanket wrapped around

Approaching  are the black clouds

Cold feet cant feel the ground

Bleeding hearts, very deep wounds

Tangled and tied in knotted ropes

Castaway, the ferry mopes,

Tempest and fury to cope

A wait for good cheerful HOPE
