To begin again….
To begin again,
something must end
a vicious life circle
and that is the trend;
you are conceived as a hope
floating as a stardust
in the skies
you take form as a hope
and the quest for the
life begins;
planning your precarious life
tiptoeing the mistakes and
holding onto your pride
the journey begins;
falling in the web of deceit
and unhappiness
rummaging the soul
for the eternal salvation
the fallacy remains;
clutching your dreams
with those bony fingers and the
pallid face
the hope remains;
Nearing the end of the journey
you let go of all the pretense
floating towards the final
deliverance
cause to begin again
something must end.
This poem is part of the collaborative poem started by Grabbety covens. Read the final piece here.

Little does she know
Little does she knowIt will end before it will start;Little does she knowIt will leave cracks in her heart;Little does she knowThe traditions always die down slowly;Little does she knowit's still a knot, even it is holy;Little does she knowWounds are always scraped more;Little does she knowevery person is nothing but a voyeur;Little does she knowthis game always ends in deadlock;Little does she knowshe is not part of the flock; Little does she knowThere is nowhere to hide forever;Little does she knowher pain has surrounded her;Little does she knowShe stopped feeling somehow;Little does she knowThe smiles are all phony;Little does she knowYou always end up lonely.

Rain (Micro poetry)
This micro poetry is a prelude to my poem Rain. Watch out for this space.
My beautiful night
The dark engulfs
your sorrows and pains
and paint a different shade of happiness
A different shade of grey
The night paint kohl in your eyes
underline the magic in your gaze;
it casts the spell
of your tantalizing looks
turning my wishes ablaze
Takes me, the stranger
into the whirlwind
of your desire;
spins me around
sets my heart on fire
The night whisper
in your ears
my sweetest desires
the forbidden wishes
I so want to come true;
it takes away
all the darkness
strip all the loneliness
dissolve all the malice in me and you
It unveils the mystery
which intrigues you for so long;
rekindle that fire, stir you slowly
keeps the emotions going strong
The silent night
gives voice to my muted soul;
resonate the love
etched in me and
serenades you from my core
It defines your beauty
in its elegant silhouette;
sunrise starts the…

Lesson ( Micro poetry)
Left
How much is the plight of a person being left out in a relationship?
How deeply it scrapes our heart when the person you entrusted the most betrays you and leaves you when you needed them the most.Being left alone and not cared too much by the people around you, who weave your web of life, is heart-wrenching.
I really wonder why I'm left behind why I'm not dragged along like the rest Why nobody turned back to see when I stumbled why nobody cared enough Why everybody kept walking with their backs turned towards me why nobody saw my footsteps when it stopped making the prints next to the walking society Why the dust trail of the wheels kept rolling along my side people looked, glanced and left and nobody gave hands to help or even to try I wonder why I'm left behind with the whole caravan passing by…
