SHADOW

There was someone
I saw from far
I could only but
See her shadow.

Shivering a bit
Eyes all around staring with fear
Hands and lips closed up for praying
I could trace all this from far itslef
That too only
Just by her shadow!

I peeked and leaned
To pick her up
Could not but 
Find anything other than the shadow.

She had lost every bit
By the bites & claws
There was nothing left in her
Other than the shadow.

But no, Not the end
Was that what I saw
There were few bits of glaze
Still left in her shadow.

She must stand, She will!
She must fight, She will!
She must end up being the epitome of power, She will!
As, if it would have been only dark all around
There would have not existed
Even her shadow.

The Sinking Ship

I lost something when everything I got
For what I had  got was for the something I had
I fought with the winds to float my ship
I begged with the waves to float my ship
I couldn't see stars at night 
As I had eyes on the sea
I couldn't feel the drops of the rain roaring around
As I had to feel only the sea
Never did I desired the sea to be calm
I knew that lines of luck don't belong to my palm
The journey I was set onto, was never meant to be low
I was ready to sit back and hit the mightiest flow
All through this, never for once did I pondered
Whether the ship to be worth to fight for and wander
Amidst the deadly  days and night
Amidst the thundering and storming sights
Amidst the journey, my dear ones asked not to set go
Amidst the trees of thorns, by the virtue of devil which was set to flow
I won with the waves
Yet lost on the way
I won with others
Yet lost by self
I had already accepted my death 
To be on the sea bed while on trip
But not that I would die being safe
In the sinking ship.

Mighty who?

The white clouds

Upon the the dark ones

Upon the layers of mountains

Below the hard sun

All these mighty creations 

Along with the roaring thunders and shower of rain

And at the other side was the mere I 

Glazing and fearing and also being amazed

The wind then blew and whispered to me

No one who is meek and weak

Can withstand the sight of such powerful streaks

You have the will and so you are here

You have the skill and so you are here

You have the words to shatter any wall

You have the brightness to lighten up the hall

Your eyes have the sharpness to tear within the clouds

Your muscles are ripped to cut down any sword

It’s all from you

It’s all within you

It’s you who said these mountains to be mighty 

It’s you who think only nature has variety

The wind then paused

Without concluding all

And left me with thoughts

Wondering, whether I was the one mighty

Or those thundering clouds

The sky too high

The tighter I held

The loosen it went 

“It’s sand, my friend”, some wise people said

So is the time

Never in control 

The more you try to control

The more it controls

I tried to hold the time

The merry time

The happy time

The time which gave me all

And I had the fairy life

The time which gave me love

The time which gave me smile

The time which gave me a reason

To work hard and fly

Not to be in crowd

Not be like all

Not be common

But to stand out and perform

I became honest with it

I never lied

Later realised, there is where problem lied

To survive, you ought to be brutal 

You ought to be diplomat 

You ought to be in spotlight 

And let your shrewdness outshine

All the truth 

All the facts

All the things which can hurdle up your height 

But still I fought

Being what I am

And now I lie on the bed near a window

From where the sky looks too high.
