A DROP OF MY SEA

Image: Ujala Chowdhry This vessel, I must respect Which embodied my pale soul I see your face in the mirror every day And see the respect has been earned, in thy eyes But I still see you shying away from your sight I wonder- What is left of you to do? O,' my vessel, grieve no more You remember you were the white swan You confessed your purity to your soul You were winging in the sky of bright and hope Why can't you still look at your face? Which showed you not to grieve anymore What is left of you to do? O,' my vessel, grieve no more Get in touch with the reality Its gonna go for long, longer than now You have been gifted the gift of time, you may have earned it This gift is hard to find, in the race of time You be what you want to be, forget about the pace You build pace, you build strength You see thy face In the oval mirror, hung on the flawless white walls of pure And, then, ponder- What is left of you to d...

Heat of the sun When kisses my cheeks The blush on them Brightens my day, like the red streaks Warmth in the breeze When brushes across my face The wind in my sleeve Slowly takes me in its encase I raise my head above the ground Stretch my eyes till infinity I hear a beautiful sound Of birds chirping songs of melody I stand up with my arms open wide I throw my body in the lap of a gushing sea Surrendering the pain I have felt all this while Dreaming of a dawn, when I will run free I will run free, I will run free Because that's the only way I will be, me I will run free, I will run free One day, from the shackles of society

My dear dear mumma Thanks for always being a part of my drama Your food has an aroma That hushes my turbulent traumas Your hands on my head when sway Gives me strength to fight my days Your beautiful face Makes this world a better place Mumma... Thanks for being part of my drama Had a bad break up I feel so stuck up I never listen when u say "Honey dont just blindly cave" I am driving back my mom's way To hear her say,"its gonna be okay" I come home with a headache Its quarter past eight Throwing my bad relation at the door Her face makes me say this more and more Mumma... My dear dear mumma Thanks for being a part of my drama Your food h...

Image:  Europeana / Unsplash I am lying blank in my empty cold room Thinking of the times that we've been through Falling in love when we were kids Held each other together with a kiss But where did it all fade in the mist His absence is singing in chorus to me, hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah He was always there when I was alone Wiping my tears he became my backbone When I was scattered all over the place He would enclose me in his warm embrace Making my worries all go away He sang gently into my ears, hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah He'd come to pick me up He liked me natural without makeup I'd wear his favorite summer colors He'd be there on my every summons Nothing was right and nothing was wrong When we played our favorite song, hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah Hallelujah. . Hallelujah We would lie next to each other Smoking cigarettes under a gleaming cover Watching nothing but each other's soul R...

When did life take such a big turn that I cant even reach you now. How did we drift so far apart that I cant even feel your presence around me. My love for you was preserved in the bud of togetherness, when did it wilt under the scorching sun of hatred. I dont see you in my dreams anymore. You have become a distant memory. I know you are there but the moment I try to connect with you how do I end up being more disconnected from you. I dont need dreams to talk to you because I have forgotten how you were with me. I have forgotten how it was like to be in love. If you were with me sitting besides me encasing me in your arms I would tell you so much I kept from you. This will never happen so I will just close my eyes and try to replicate the feelings I feel around you. Girl: I have forgotten how to smile Without you in my life I am declining the joy Because I don't feel alive Boy: These walls of dejection Are surrounding you Under your flawed perception...

A funfilled day When sun and I play On a bright  Sunday The month of may For every  occasion A face to play Stating the story  Of what I have to say Face speaks through eyes They sparkle every time You see me laugh and cry Expressions are my mime Because when sunlight ascends The magic begins What was benighted Becomes enlightened  A funfilled day When sun and I play On a bright  Sunday The month of may

We all talk about our brothers and sisters but seldom find single children talking about their siblings. This poem is for all those single children whose lives were enriched by the presence of their cousins. And for me, my beautiful cousin... She loves cats I love dogs yet when she comes to my house we spend most hours talking about her cats chasing a mouse I look into her eyes And see the twinkle of joy I turn to my mirror I have the same twinkle On seeing my cousin's sister rarely, so rarely   Like a bunch of chipmunks Giving birthday bumps We would play for days and days Growing up would get us daily amazed In the same house being together raised I look into her eyes And see the twinkle of joy Then I turn to my mirror I have the same twinkle On seeing my cousin's sister rarely, so rarely   Looking similar Dressing in one color We stepped into the same shoes I hold her hand When she's scared I give a push...
