The Escapist

The Escapist

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

Just like the retreating ocean’s tide

Just like the sunset in vanilla twilight

Just like the rainbow after a colourful sight

Just like the friend with whom you had a fight

Just like the song when you lose the melody

Just like the pain after a remedy

Just like the fear at every new challenge

Just like the youth as there advents age

Just like the crescent before new-moon

Just like the overhead shadow after noon

Just like the lover after his promise

Just like the life after death hath kissed

To be gone in search of respite

Away far away, O the escapist arise!

The 7 Ironies of Life!

The 7 Ironies of Life!

To define the good theres ought to be bad

To see the light you should be first lost in dark

Devil has to be there to ensure you follow the Angel

Truth tastes bitter after sugar-coated lies

Hope arrives when you are utterly despaired

Only when you lose, you know the joy of gain

Theres always a new beginning after every end

The Full Moon

The Full Moon

Its that hour of the day when..

Waiting for Hypnos to sing his lullaby

But staring from the curtained panes

Is the pearly Selene in the night sky

Many a Endymion hath fallen

Tangled in her web amor

The enchantress of Nyx

She is the Diana hallowed

A silvery shield, very gloriously pale

From atop the Olympian highs

Awed and revered by the twinkles

The stars are showering in Luna’s light

The full moon enchantingly bewitches

And drowns me in somnolence away from all plights

Never a perfection ofcourse
But not even a good mirror to my faults
Walking on rose strewn path,
Hidden beneath are thorns
Wish for cognizance and  insights
To pick my wrongs from my rights

The Autumn Leaf

The Autumn Leaf

A green not in its prime

Dried and frail with time

The beauty it still hath

With deep venations scratched

Glorius gold lying on the dust

An autumn leaf in its rust
