LIBERTY

Liberty

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

A chase it is,

To be free

To be loved

In search of self

The soul within

Thoughts and reasons

Rhyme in sync

No borders or lines

Cheery dreams

Trust and faith

The music divine

To the only one

The heart connects

Dont care!..

What others judge

To my choices made

Rejoice and cherish

For each other made

Will fall, will fail

Own my stride

No one to blame

For reasons mine

Truth not lies

Foundations built on

Trust and Love

Holds high above all

To win in life 

Is not the aim

To live through times

Is worth all the fame

Efforts count, 

Not the shame

Standing up again, 

Rebuilding self

A lease of joy 

And liberty gained

LONE

The despised bright Sun on a sunny noon

That shining star in the night sky, so aloof

The tiny green on the autumn twig

Each drop of rain immiscible in ‘tween

The river atop the highest height

Tied by string is the flying kite!

The nothingness of darkness and vacuum

All narrate their tales very sad and lone.

Supernova

Precious, pristine and pure

Our bond le amour

We waited, we yearned

Now eternally bound

Vows and oaths are mere words

Rituals, traditions and customs

We are together for reasons beyond

Our love and trust, above all

Happy, elated and blessed

By the people who matter more than rest

My love, my supernova

Its an immense joy

To be approvingly yours

To each other we belong!

Heart or the Mind

Heart or the Mind

To be right, to be wrong

To stop or walk along

An “yes” or a “no”

Nothing to much ado

To think or act

Faith or the facts

Whats myth isn’t real

Real isn’t clear

Time is the constant

Life is not

Moments are here and now

To be headstrong or bow

Choices are defined

The heart or the mind?

STAGNANT

Not to, neither fro

Feet stuck in quicksand

Down, down, down below

Sinking like the tempest struck cargo

High, high, high above

Black clouds blanket upon

Huff, puff, panting fast

Heart beats loud and clear

Sniff, sniff, tears roll

Last cry, a painful pierce

Dreams crumble and crash

Every effort dumped to trash

Away, away, away you run

Things done cannot be undone

Near, near, very near I see

My loneliness engulfing me

Back, back, back again,

In the warps of emptiness

Silence encroaches in void end
