Poetic Words

You brought smiles on my face
Then you took my laughter away
You taught me to face life’s race
Then you made my world sway.
I placed my whole trust in you
You made me feel like a treasure
Those moments were though a few
For you stolen moments of pleasure.
You played me like a guitar
I sang melodies like a bird
You looked a glittering star
And  I one among the herd.
Seems You then just had your fill
Or  to me it so seemed to look
Alone You left me to scale the hill
Leaving you completely off the hook.
May you find the peace you seek
Though it may just not be with me
May you scale the highest peaks
Maybe thats how its meant to be.

Each night as I cry myself to sleep
My heart says the climb is so steep.
Evey tear that rolls speaks of love
Something thats blessed from above.
For however hard I try to forget
Fate and destiny just doesnt rest
My memories surfacing every night
So I give in without much fight
Memories that struggle within me
Surfacing time to time  for me to see
How close to my heart I held you
A place  allowed to a select few.
Opening my eyes to a ray of hope
I felt my life has so much of scope
I refuse  to give up on Dreams of you
Churning more of them , every day a few.

This poem was written after the picture on the background was sent to me by a friend . So the pic is courtesy- my friend M.V Pratheek .

The raindrop sliding down the leaf
The tree shedding a tear of grief
The grey clouds as they loom around
The thunder growling  to  resound
The rain as it slants across the soil
Ropes of silver ,twisted in a coil
Encompassed  all this in my gaze
Nature never failing to amaze
Her beauty so far beyond compare
Shared so generously without a care.
A thought that really warms my heart
Of this wonderful nature to be a part.

If I were to live just a day
I surely would find a way
To reach and spend it with you
Before I left for an abode so new.
Maybe we could  be together
For  just a day if not forever
But make it a real beautiful one
One to remember when am gone.
A fantasy that I live each day
One that fulfills me in everyway
For wishing  forever  seems futile
So just a day with you n all smiles
To make my deepest wishes come true
For what I ask of God is  very few
So one day of  your life  just with me
To know what ecstasy could just be.

‘A rain drop like tear falls unnoticed
It speaks of a story completely untold
The eyes having a look so so ravaged
Speaking of a hurt deep beyond ones hold.
Sleep as it evades and runs from me
Speak of  a turmoil so well within
My sad eyes a story for all to see
Draining them of  their lustrous sheen.
Will these eyes ever smile again?
Now they seem to shed tears of blood
Getting over all this unbearable pain?
Destroying me as they roll and flood.
Would solitude help me and calm me
The Quiet peace that seems to elude
A calmness I seek  would set me free
A sun that peeps from under the cloud.

I sink into a silent retreat

Looking for a place to hide

I watch my tired running feet

As life becomes one tough ride.

The silence it coldly greets me

Welcoming me with an open arm

Making me see things I should see

Hoping to keep me away from harm.

Silence offers a cold , frozen comfort

Chilling me to my very bone

Shielding me from words that hurt

Making me so very alone.

Silence teaches me who I am

And what I was never meant to be

The thoughts from which I seem to run

Flashing again for me to see.

Silence , without words it speaks

Mocking me , laughing at my plight

The want to flee as it peaks

What can you keep from others sight?

Hide from others that you may do

For you just want to get some space

But hide from you,thats something new!

For your mind always catches up in this race.

Silence thrills but also kills

So I heard some wise one say

After every one of my tears do spill

I hope to wake up to another day.

In the horizon at a distance I see a glowing star

I tried to reach for it but it kept moving far…

A useless chase that followed brought me no joy

For the star that seemed so near played me for a toy.

It would taunt and come closer making me believe

I could touch it someday if I only just heaved.

Only to see it zip past me and move to a distance

Day by day making a mockery of all my innocence.

Why then does it shine so, drawing me to its warmth

Glittering and glowing bowling me over with its charm

For it has no intentions of letting me hold it in my hands

The destiny it seeks taking it to some faraway lands.

Dont reach for what you cant have , that what it teaches

For some things in life are always beyond our reaches.

I wish my mind was a blank paper

One on which I could paint afresh

I would fill it up with so much color

That would reflect happiness at a stretch

Smiles and laughter, light hearted fun

No room for gloomy thoughts or tears

Just happy memories and a brilliant sun

Chasing away every blue, strife and fears.

Thoughts weaving in and out ,up and down

To create a beautiful masterpiece of art

Creating smiles and grins , replacing the frown

With laughter that touches someones heart.

A mind made of such pure thoughts

With no fear or negativity thats around

Where no sadness or fear festers and rots

Just a happy bliss that it surrounds.

An amazing & delightful riot of colors

That is what I would want my mind to be

One that reflects the beauty of flowers

A mind that would be proud to reflect me.

My heart breaks into two

Your words though were few

Spoke of a pain so deep within

Making me feel I committed a sin

But I have always prayed for you

Of a healthy life for you thats new

Free from all that make you weak

With the loved one who you seek.

Never once did I want anything more

You would see it if you looked in my core

I just rever what you two have and treasure

For its something so sacred beyond measure.

Why then this sadness and despair

Why so many tears , hurt beyond repair

I wish I could comfort you atleast some

But the damage seems to be already done

I could never forgive myself this

For messing up your life of bliss.

Looking into your eyes deep within

A hurt that tugs at my heart strings

A deep seated pain that you seem to hold

Speaking of many stories untold.

A tear as it rolls down your cheeks

Seem to say that sadness is at its peak

The deep breath you take in as a sigh

Seemed to question God as to why

You seem to have more than your share

Of people who just dont have a care.

A lone heart among all the crowd

A silent tune among all that is loud.

As I gaze into that well of sorrow

I wish I had a gift of tomorrow

One that I could hand over to you

And give you an experience so new

To take you to a land of love and care

With Hope that would tell you life is fair

Have faith and belief in all you are

For only that will take you miles afar.
