Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge: 2015 Week #4
I am a traveler, all alone On Life, an adventure unknown, I go through paths meandering Leaving memories endearing… These paths are full of obstacles But offer marvelous spectacles Sprinkled with uneven grains Of wisdom on every terrain I travel on every which way That I find at the break of each day. Continue reading “Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge: 2015 Week #4”
You and I
You and I, If we could travel Back in time long gone Maybe a secret we’d unravel Maybe it would finally dawn On both of us How we both drifted apart How did we fortify Separately, our fragile hearts Even now I wonder why What happened to The passion that once had Held us in its throes ItContinue reading “You and I”
Woman
Moments of life trickled away Pleasing the world around her Friends and family had their say While she was a silent spectator. Suppressing her heart’s inner desire, She walked on a balance-beam Set by others, so they could admire Her virtue, while she smothered her dreams. She did her best to conform To the narrow confines theyContinue reading “Woman”
Repentance
“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.” ― Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate I was angry, I was rude I hurled some scathing comments; Now I am left alone to brood My soul, now guilt torments.. Hurtful words escaped my lips BeforeContinue reading “Repentance”
Doors
Doors I find on my way Some closed, some open half-way I have no inkling where they lead There are no signs that I can read Some that do open with love Others need a gentle shove Some that lead to pastures green Others hide horrors obscene. Walking down life’s path alone Many tempting doors I am shown.. Curious to peer aheadContinue reading “Doors”
Futility of war
Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. -John F KennedyWits scattered Mind in commotion Dreams shattered In tumultuous emotion Holding on hard To everything known Piercing shards In all corners blown.. The universe oozing Hot lava of cruelty Slipping, losing All grip on reality.. Senseless bloodshed For reasons unclear Destruction widespreadContinue reading “Futility of war”
In the midst of a snowstorm
Weather, the mischief-maker Creeping up through the back door To wreak its havoc in winter Bringing a snow-storm to the fore. (Looking out and watching the snowfall, not looking forward to my daily commute!)
Silence and speech
http://redrinart.deviantart.com/art/Silenced-by-Fear-315005152 Silence may be golden And silver, speech could be Yet we’ve all seen frozen Silence, reeking of hostility Silence, out of misgiving born Silence of anger burning within, Seething, leaving innards torn, Silence that feels like an unspoken sin. Fear that chokes speech into silence, Sealed lips that have been witness To horrific, heinous violenceContinue reading “Silence and speech”
Past, future and present
The distinction between the past, present and future is nothing but a stubbornly persistent illusion. -Albert Einstein Why is it The more things change The more they get Close to the old in their range.. Maybe it’s true That the past Holds the clue To the unknown, vast Future; unseen Except in imagination, In promisingContinue reading “Past, future and present”
Reflection
The world reflected In waters pristine Nature perfected This landscape serene. A place for reflection Of my reckless deeds Quiet introspection Into my soul’s needs.
