DIARY STORIES

I grieve the loss
Of those words
Written on pages
Of a diary
With a white cover
Lovingly holding
The rainbow thoughts
Of a prancing child
Who was tamed by words
Read or written
Recited or put to tune
Words, words and words
Of childhood
That flowed gently
On those pages
Of that white
D i a r y
That also held
Her poet father’s words
Of a corrected rhyme
Of a rooster poem
That she wrote
All forever gone
Written for Susan’s Midweek Motif ~ Diary Stories @ Poets United
WHEN THE ANGEL’S WINGS CAUGHT FIRE

When his blood cells were losing strength
His time was being crushed to dust
Doctors sat with grave face
The hapless father running to and fro
He was reading Tintin on wheel chair
The frail hands dropped the comic book
An eager mind instructed the body
To pick it up
As it was the time of fall
Pain would not let the hands to work
The mother, wiping her tears
Gave the book to her babe
Her loving words added faith
To the dying little angel
“Beta* enjoy every moment of your life”
He flashed a bright smile

Are those dozy eyes of yours
On the edge of dreamy
Sunderbans
In search
Of your ladylove
Are those nimble magic feet of yours
Dreaming of those flash of lightning
That struck
From the grassy sky
Upon the chital
What daring hands
Could put you under those iron bars
Have you groaning with shards of dream
Make your heart burn
On caged nights
What gruesome mind
Could wean you away
From your mother’s leafy lap
And make you a mere toy
Of entertainment

ALONE

Words fizzing in unceasing flow
Never lets me alone
Only once in a cool hillside
Those sticky foams were gone
Waves stilled
Inert mind was peace filled
World shone
In an unearthly light
Though for a few seconds that glow
Numbed the words and their might
Posed for the prompt Alone @ Poetry Jam

THE BUDDHA

When those feet tasted the first dust
A deep sorrow misted his heart
A violent storm choked blue flow
The lotus seemed to lost its glow
A deep sorrow misted his heart
All entangled in dream’s meshes
The lotus seemed to lost its glow
The lion’s out snapping the net
All entangled in dream’s meshes
Nettle-desire had broken sting
The lion’s out snapping the net
Paths carved for the brave to follow
Nettle-desire had broken sting
Luster found the old home once lost
Paths carved for the brave to follow
Golden lotus bloomed on His trail

WHEN FACEBOOK FAILS FOR HALF AN HOUR

The Earth stopped spinning yester night
Ether’s heavy with hue and cry
Celebs and brands all lost their sight
The Earth stopped spinning yester night
Lesser mortals with all their might
Scurried virtually to pry
The Earth stopped spinning yester night
Ether’s heavy with hue and cry
