Like the stars…

You’re like the stars in the sky

I saw in my childhood
twinkling, smiling down at me
assuring me of a beautiful darkness.
That the places I choose to be
I’d be followed faithfully
with a poetic hope
whispering
that nights are
as influential as the light.

BLUE

 

When blue was vibrant
And the taste craved was white currant
Giant desires insisted
To go overboard and be a tyrant

“What’s in the diet?”, questioned heart
Outraged Mind, so prepared a chart.
“No cheat day, anymore stud”
Designs were made for your fat to shunt

“How about we clinch and come to an alignment”
Little did they know about the upcoming arrangement
“Let’s choose the day when sky chooses blue”
Since it was an era when heaven bore every hue.

So Mind agreed, no reasons to be defiant
One day in a VIBGYOR week, was the new alliance
No one knew, why sky took a tweak
Ever since that day, blue was there—every day, every week

Stray

Drifted off into the space
for I was
adamant about my perception.
People abhorred
my placid nature
for my impressions created
a ripple effect in continuous motion.
Stray thoughts I possessed
something awoken yet under-acknowledged
the unseen beauty vanished into the deepest oceans.

Stain

That stain remained
No matter how much I cleaned

I scrubbed, I cleansed,
I ran away from those black streets
but that stain stayed.

I cried for help
begged to be freed
but no one paid any heed

I am all black now
unaccepted, unwanted fellow
Is it my fault I am only a shadow…

The Mornings

He got up
She started with chores
He brought groceries
She cooked
He made her fav tea
She sips his fav coffee
He got dressed
She sighs the look
He got ready for work
She’s off to start too
She closes eyes and sees him
He closes his eyes and feel her

They did everything together…
While being apart.
