The other side

Friday, November 6, 2020

Far faraway flowers flourish

Hither hallucinating hurricanes howls.

There tailored treats are tasted

Here bulging bargained bowels

Take me to the kingdom past cotton clouds

that curiously curtains  calming serenity

Let me leech on the love ludicrously

Let me live freely.

Dawn

Dials that turn consistently 

and wheels that do not stop 

take me to the secluded space 

beyond the reach of my comfort.

Where my discomforts are hidden 

and dreams are secured,

but within the bars of memories

and under lock and key of discord.

The thoughts like bouncing balls

bounces through the four walls

and the shadows wraps me within

chained with the whispers mundane.

Thoughts of you then out of blue

Lights the hope, though unknown

And then my shadows and me

on our own, we smile as one.

With the tangerine horizon,

poof goes the surreal validation

The smile I had the night afore

then becomes my figment of imagination

like the dreams lost in the mist of morn

for the ones whose eyes are always open.

Union

 When the sun sinks it's amber in the horizon

and the moon melts in the sky

with it's silvery hue,

I would follow the twinkling stars

winking banters back and forth.

The wood sprite would lead the way

across the stream towards the lake

and under the moonlit canopy

I would search for your reflection

in the serene water surface.

I would make sure no ripples are formed

for I know you thrive in peace

while chaos is my maiden name.

For one day I know we shall unite

at twilight

like day and night.

For one day by this clearing

I would breathe my last air

My words would then dissipate

my sighs merged with thin air

and like the approaching dawn

we would finally be one

as we were always meant to be.

We would be forever known as eclipse

where dark and light co-exists.

The Paper Boat

The dainty fingers that's holding me

Knows nothing beyond the joy I bring.

As the thunder rolls up above the sky

The little heart he has leaps with joy.

And I know I shall embark on a journey

A whole lot of adventure waits for me

For I shall travel along windswept ripples

along with the memories and goofy scribbles.


I know I am made to float and sink

I know like a dream I am meant for an end.

But the smile I bring to the tiny eyes

And the cahoots and laughter that pass me by

Makes me wonder, what if I survived

the pouring rain and the angry tide.

Then I shall travel along the windswept ripples

along with the memories and goofy scribbles.


As I am laid on the murky stream

I can hear my surfaces scream.

The wilting began as soon as I am laid

And I saw the gleam in his eyes fade.

I moved forward with a fight

And I was greeted with claps of delight.

And now I am traveling along windswept ripples

along with the memories and goofy scribbles.


Soon enough, soon enough my senses reeled

Not that far away from the field

And I can feel the struggles inside

But then I see, of me he was tired

He has left with his fellow mates

Hence I am safe to rest to my fate

For I have travelled along windswept ripples

along with his memories and goofy scribbles.

Shishir

He

is the curious amalgam of 

spoken words and silences,

congregation of woes and laughter,

the depth not yet conquered

not measured, yet feared.

He

is the solitary lamp on hilltop,

brightening the vast stretch of land in dark

yet his eyes

just stares past his peripherals

seeking the hidden treasures beyond.

He

is the wordsmith of his own kind

churns out gold even without trying

yet he sees not the pull

and marks his void through and through.

He 

is the winter of different sort

frozen exterior with a warm heart.

The ice he projects, is jitter not shame

He is a definite anomaly

of his given name.

The meaning of the name Shishir is winter in Nepali. This is about a guy I know, someone whom I consider family.

Beyond me?

 With the swish of my will

I make the zephyr bow.

The rain falls on my command

And cloaks the dreary cold.

I could make you cry on whim

I could make or break your esteem.

Hence do not seek me out my love

I am the storm after the calm.

I know nothing beyond me

I am the king of my own realm.
