Don’t talk Loose - #14 of 365 Poems

Don’t talk Loose – #14 of 365 Poems

Talk not exactly what you think; talk such that you know the person who can hear. Talk like you are that person, who can also hear you talk. Talk not because you have to. but because you cannot do without it. Why is it important not say exactly what you think? You have no control over your listener’s thoughts. They can take your words and make a gun out of it. They will make bullets out of your…

Timeless Time - #13 of 365 Poems

Timeless Time – #13 of 365 Poems

Philosophies buried along with dead bodies; Prophecies burned on top of stolen souls; Well that is only half the story. The other half is still in the pockets of those living. They will strike a deal with the dead. They will give them time and in return, ask when they will be rejoined. oh! not in the world of the living – but the world of dying. The only place where time is not a factor. See, the…

Sleeping Streets – #12 of 365 Poems

The street slept like a little baby sometimes curled in a corner with trash toys scattered around it. As the night slipped its way out of darkness people started walking on it like cockroaches. Well walking would be the wrong word They first crawled slowly out of their dungeons and then kneeled down some went still others graduated from kneels to stands and then finally into walks. Slowly the…

World Peace – #11 of 365 Poems

They said ‘build a wall’ and the world said ‘we will break it’ They said ‘keep the guns ready’ and the world said ‘fill them up with flowers’ They said ‘tie the ropes’ and the world said ‘untie the hatred’ They said ‘starve them to death’ and the world said ‘yes feed them more’ They will try it all but the world will fail it all. They will say ‘we and them’ and the world will say its ‘we and us’…

Misery Suite – $10 of 365 Poems

Sometimes we think our burden is so big, people just don’t get it. And then we walk in the sun It gets dark and we continue walking. You see people coming out people who can come out only in the dark Like the world does not want them in the light. They look at your advertised burden and laugh. You continue to walk till the sun rises again And then you look back. As people return back to where…

Doors and Windows - #7 of 365 Poems

Doors and Windows – #7 of 365 Poems

When a door closes another one opens thats what they say to motivate people who just see walls and no doors. The world full of doors and windows, all opening to different perspectives of life to opportunities and challenges. Sometimes you feel safe not opening them the fear of unknown not knowing what is behind each of them. But doors and windows, they are meant to be open and even broken wide…

Insignificant Fractions - #5 in 365 Poems

Insignificant Fractions – #5 in 365 Poems

A small speck of sand winning over a little anthill. No one bothered what the ant had to say in the whole deal. When in an insignificant fraction of the passing time – a very small touch of ambiguous love did awaken a beast. Who told us that we have to fear? ‘the who’ does not matter anymore ‘the why’ matters because that is what will open the gates. And yes for the ant and the sand there is no…

What Happens Every Evening - #4 in 365 Poems

What Happens Every Evening – #4 in 365 Poems

The scent of that evening emotion, as it loiters in the portico. Talking with that ray of the evening sun, freely bursting in through the cloud The sadness of a grass stuck in the man’s shoe, as he came running up the stairs, only to be stopped at the door shut close on his face. The pain in that single petal left on the flower, as the wind mercilessly moved out All its siblings unwilling to hold…
