Angry bird!!

What is this mother?

Why don't we have food?

All cattle got their fodder,

And we searched so good.

Everyday my wings ache

After the daily showdown,

But we always had something to eat

And now no offers from this town.

What is this mother?

Where has our house gone?

As she only pointed down farther,

My only memory where I was born.

I heard chuckling voices,

So mean of them...when I had to mourn

Although we had no choices,

I put my head down and went ahead

              to search for a new hometown.....

Feelings

I am happy,
I am sad,
I am jealous,
I am glad.

I love to help,
I hate to hurt,
I am short-tempered,
I don't like to be curt.

I am cheerful,
I am depressed,
I am calm and cool,
All these feelings
      make me stressed.

I ought to behave,
In a way the world will accept,
I ought  to compromise,
Because feelings are a big concept!!

Alone at last...

Sitting in the window
Staring at the sky,
There's an emptiness in my heart
I wonder why...

Looking at my cell phone
Searching for some message,
I suddenly realize that
There is no such package...

Dialing random numbers
Hoping to hear a voice,
I get the same disappointment
As i don't have a choice...

Praying to the one
Who never existed,
I wasted my faith in it
As hope was yet again wasted...

At last I thought
When the world turns against one,
You should not compromise for it
As people who care for that are none!!!

Priceless

A baby's smile
A friend's laughter
A walk for a mile
Pool with your father..
A midnight snack
A sneak-out party
A surprise welcome back
Enjoying nature's bounty..
A buddy's joke
A brother's bike ride
A sister's poke
Mamma on your side..
A river side vacation
A secret night-out
Your first convocation
Where you stood out!!!
All these things
are extremely priceless
If you've not experienced them
Your life is worthless!!!!

My Shadow-kissed friend

Echoing all my thoughts,
Going through all that I went through
Silently being there
Passing consoling messages,
Reading my mind
Studying my behaviour
Following me, half step ahead
Warning me against danger signals,
Protecting me against every rival
Shielding my nature,
You are always there,
Unseen. unnoticed, invisible
Yet i feel you in me,
My soul mate for all intents and purposes,
You save my life,
From going away from me forever,
Oh my sweet shadow kissed friend,
I am indebted to you for eternity!!!!

Inspiration

I recently met my best friend's cousin Mayura and shared a great deal of thoughts with her. I soon found that we shared a lot in common though she is older to me. As i spent time getting to know her, i got to know she had a great interest in writing and composing. My best friend Neeti also participated in encouraging writing and composing. Mayura tai, as we all called her, soon showed me her own blog where she had posted innumerable poems and articles. I was extremely impressed and inspired. I finally told her that i had a similar hobby of composing poems in my free time. Generally composing is done when i actually want to let people know my thoughts, but i am unable to express it. Soon feelings enter the world in the form of words. I showed Tai my poems and she immediately said that i should create a blog of my own and keep posting my writings. I had lost my earlier book of poems and was extremely sad as i couldn't do anything to retrieve them. Hence, after Tai and Neeti finally convinced me to start my blog so that i don't lose my work, i accepted the idea. Again Tai helped me create the blog the very same day, and i was extremely happy to post my work on it. I learnt one thing. I am extremely grateful to Tai and Neeti. Inspiration comes in any form, and i earlier thought that my writings are very amateur and childish. But then i realized that- Every artist is first an amateur.

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

Beautiful morning

A clear blue sky,
Eagles soaring so high,
Flowers bursting open,
What a beautiful sight it is!

Evergreen blossoming trees,
On their leaves, the dewdrops freeze,
Winds blowing on the meadows,
A mesmerizing start everyday!

Birds chirping musically,
Sun shining brightly,
Shadows casting down,
What a picture it might be!

Driving away every drop of sleep,
With every ounce of dreams we keep,
Opening our eyes to the welcoming world,
Any other morning wouldn't be better!!!

Life- A clouded sky

I spent my time to wonder
What went wrong in the past,
I only have questions to ponder
As the answers seem vague and vast.

I try to make out
What mistakes did i commit,
And inside me, my mind shouts
Even thinking about it, reached the limit.

At last i let tears fall by
Which had been held for too long,
like the rain washed the roads from the sky
All i am left is with silence to come along!!

No one to Understand

Why does this happen?
That the person whom you give
utter importance,
doesn't care?

For the special one
you left all others,
yet it seems as though,
it was no big deal doing it..

For whom you spent
the important time of your life,
it seems as though
it was expected from you..

For whom you simply
gave an ear to when they were in distress,
it seems as though,
you were the smartest option they had..

For their betterment
you spent hours trying to explain,
yet it seemed as though
you are good at giving lectures..

For whom you never checked
the time while talking,
it still seemed ,
you are busy with other things than that..

Why does the perspective of one,
become the annoying independence of other..

So many questions in mind,
So many already put forth,
Yet you get no answers...
Your mind is finally forced,
To be the sole one who consoles your heart.................

What did I do?

When your eyes say something,
And your heart knows its the other way..
You just don't know what to believe,
And you are confused what to say...

All the load is on the brain alone,
Not knowing what to do..
Trust your belief or on your eyesight,
Either way you are screwed...

When your heart comes crashing down,
And you hear the thunder of your thoughts..
Tears don't even fall by,
And you are in a maze of dots...

Not knowing how to connect everything,
To make life peaceful again..
You are just left alone in distress,
Withering in the world of pain!!!
