Waiting

Red bricks and inlaid glass, The pride of his master, That was what it was once, a  magnificent manor. All that was gone, Washed away by time, It stood, fighting the elements, Even though the grandeur was gone. It stood waiting , daring time to try its best, A wait for a new master, To…

Unfinished

They started out together, Hand in hand they passed, Through times both easy and rough.   They had set out to build, Something strong,out of nothing, Which would stand the test of time.   Hurdles were crossed, Rough patches were mend, 'Together' that is the message they sent.   Eternity is what they wished for, 'Together…

People Vs. Land

The land lay parched, The river had dried up, Trees withered and died, People had an air of sorrow. They turned the land into a city, Didn't pay heed to elders words, Millennia of lessons lay forgotten, Overtaken by greed and blindness. They forgot the land and what she gave, The land that was one…

Style

A simple dress,loose fit, sensible shoes, A mother's style to take care of chores. Six inch heels and figure hugging dresses, A party girl dressed for a night out. Different points of a spectrum, Stylish all the same.   Stylish the literal meaning is given as  fashionably elegant or to have good sense of style.…

Lost

All heads were bent, All minds were lost, In a world of their own, In an electronic universe. They talked through fingers, But forgot their neighbours, Laughter, sadness,love and anger, Emotions spread all around.   Yet not a trace of it perceivable, Only a silence was recognizable , A room full of people-Chatting, poking and liking, Connections were made but…

Breaking Free

Girls are to stay inside, Cooking, cleaning and looking after, The only purpose for their lives, So said the village minds. She abandoned them, The people, the outdated minds, She had a passion, To dance and be on a stage. She had a dream, To be someone, To be recognised , Not to live an…

Together

Invisible boundaries divide our land Untouchable beliefs divide our minds We discriminate on the colour of skin We separate by how much we earn We fight due to greed And weep in the sorrow that follows A new generation learns By watching the one that precedes Why teach them to divide? When instead we can…

Games

She hid beneath the stairs, darkness surrounding like a blanket, footsteps resounded, as a heavy form bounded.   She waited with bated breath, as if cheating death, a hand reached out and grabbed, held on to her little hand.   Her scream broke the fragile calm, 'Once more' she cried, 'I'll hide, you seek' and on went the games.  …

Work of art

She worked day and night, Using all her might. She worked the colours, and used them by numbers.   Red, orange, purple and yellow, there was nothing that was mellow. The brush danced over the canvas, as she painted away with purpose.   The world was being torn out there, by a war that tore people…

Melodies of nature

The leaves rustle and sway, Brought on by a breeze making its way. The river flows down the hill, sound as pure as the water. The waves rush up in a hurry to meet the shore, With a sound that would soothe any soul. There are many more out there to to pick from, All different melodies…
