Someplace in the city tonight,

Hopes want to shine bright,

Refuting the black of darkness,

Aspirations and dreams

Spiral up in the colorful beams!!

====================================

The sunset catches the glint of my longing.

 The breeze sweeps it away.

 I’m a wisp of your imagination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The grass blade stood tall, It’s emerald desire glistened, The wildflower leaned closer, As if it was the breeze that had swayed her.

Rapunzel Revisited!!

She gathers her dark, heavy tresses,
Into a firm knot at the nape of her slender neck,
Taut with tension, there’s seems no release.

She swallows once, sucks her breath in,
And takes a determined step, away from her shadow life,
Her fixed gaze, looks beyond the horizon.

With a renewed vow, she let's her hair escape, and
Cascade all the way down her spine,
Proclaiming her resolve to escape a dull peripheral existence.

Here Today ...Gone Tomorrow !!

Tomorrow, when I would have gone a long way in life,
One day, I may, recall Today.

I would smile at my trials to sound intelligent,
"As if it was so necessary, silly me", I'd say to myself.
I would hate the way I snapped back at people and thought highly about myself
"So shallow, so false", I'll smirk.
I would reminisce about the times I spent dreaming of rose blooms
And inhale deeply trying to smell the magic,
Wishing it to be lingering still, somewhere in the corner of my minds.
I would mull over the chats and the pretty laughs,
The unmindful banter and nonchalant decisions.
I would love my life, still want to rewind,
and sigh at what I left back carelessly.
I would treasure the memories, with their scent and color et all.
And would go back into my shell when I’d want to relive them.

Thank God... There's time for tomorrow...

Kite....

I am torn, exhausted,
The sky is no more
The friend that it used to be,
It’s scary, it’s alien.
Hold me tight,
Lest I get flown away,
There where I don’t want to be.
Stuck on trees,
Dangling from unknown electric lines,
Chased and leered at by beings…
Why all the pain
When I can rest in your hands,
And still be loved,
And cherished
As a kite
And not merely as its memory

Here....It is Me !!

Here.
There's no need to hide from anyone,
I stand erect and correct all the time.
No fears.
No hesitations.
No shames.


Here
There's no one - just me,
I run around liberated, ecstatic.
There's space.
There's love.
There's acceptance.


Here
There's nothing that is portrayed unreal,
I see things plain and simple.
Sans show offs.
Sans shallow egos.
Sans make ups.


Here
There's no need to prove myself,
I smile at my face unveiled.
Im Strong.
Im Intelligent.
Im Lovely.
Here
I am Me.
