The Life Beyond!!!


I sat
by the river
lost in reverie
of me
and my perished memories
Just trying
if i could revive
Those memories
when i was just five
There by the river
thoughts ran amok
I felt like a castle
perched on a rock
hIGH! So high
i felt up there
Where nothin could reach me
just the air
Slowly and gradually
this feeling arose.
Of a sudden calm
amidst the chaos
My frenzied mind
was suddenly calm
And peace held me
in its arms
The world down there
seemed cold and frigid
Where by the river
i lay buried
Now i exist
just like the river
From tide to an ebb
Smooth to shiver
Now i live
a life like that
A life
that mortals call Death!!!

(an ode to Death)

You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

MicroPoetica...!!!

In your night Your Moon Your stars And your sky May I be a dreamer??? --- You say too much Too many words Yet clueless I am of what you say Its not your words That are wasted But my attention!! --- Words Like camouflage Hide what we feel! --- Dear Life! You're my muse And the songs I write About tears and joy, I leave them all for you to peruse! --- Awkward silences Pregnant pauses - Conversations ending with 'K'!  --- The grey clouds A water-colored hope A black cloud Hovering like Impending doom And tonight I forego seeing the stars Let it rain! #AwaitingRains --- Come June I start forming imaginary clouds Eventually, they start to form in the sky - My formula for rain!!  #AwaitingRains  #InAnticipation --- Your love ~  like bubble wrap ~  delivers me safe and sound ~  anywhere!! ---- The warmth of a thousand splendid Suns ~  and t...
