OUR SHADOWS.....





Sparkling moon beams over the rhythmic waves.
Midnight sky with a deep gray haze.
I tread silently on cold comforting sand.
Calm silence was broken with soft footsteps behind.

Our shadows met that night along the shore.
They danced in the moonlight.

They sang by the sea.
Heaven was ours for those moments you were with me.

I turned to watch the sunrise,
and you were gone.
Where? How far? I'll never know.
But, I knew that night I glimpsed into my soulmates' eyes.
Now I walk alone by the sea again.
Hoping one day you'll come this way.
My shadow questions me, with rage,
But I painfully turn away.

My shadow still searches for you each day.
I secretly pray, she finds you some way.
I long to dance in the moonlight again.
Maybe this time your shadow won't leave me again.

AN ETERNAL GAME





As the life of human beings, we see around the world
The gold fish is outside its bowl, , which is its abode,
And the pussy cat, roaming around for its prey.
Man and woman are juxtaposed
One in the bowl and the other waiting
For a chance, to devour it..
Everywhere it is the same;
In religion, politics, matrimony,
Friendship, affection and even in games
The round plug wants a square hole or
The square plug wants a round hole..
Without compromise, without reprieve,
Unhappy lives, intolerant and incoherent
Beauty and beast or beast and beauty
In awkward states, life’s idiosyncrasies!.
Diametrically opposed to each other in
Manners, behavior and styles, thoughts and feelings;
For survival, gasp for breath outside the bowl;
And drowning in sorrows, inside it.
A pathetic human story of strife
Of heart burns, woes, and suffering.
Anything or anyone not in their natural abode
Become misfits and make life miserable.
Co-existence pose problem and along with that
Peace and harmony will vanish.
Keep them where they belong to;
Let the gold fish remain in its bowl
And the kitten, lick its lips and mooch around.
