Conversations

The fervid Lake looked at the Moon , ‘As I see it inside myself, exact reflection of me on the outside. As if it was I. Breathing the same air, seeing the same temple, walking the same staid. Not bothered of what lay strewn around. Just humming your own song, whistling away the worries of mundane life. Gaze so stark as if you have something on your mind, something that you have decided. Feeling heavy deep inside still not letting it out.’

 The moon looked pensive as he listened. She continued fervently, ‘Ample reasons to hold you back yet letting you go. For I never possessed you for even once. So You shall stay with me forever…’

He

Permeating alchemy

From Precipice to Notch

From blue yonder to Brine

Stirring Pigeon and Swan

Flurrying hearts

Healing anguish

Fastening all with yarn

Benign hands, gracious spirit

Divine

Caress of wet dew on lotus

Pouring beauty on divine

Pecking melody to lyrics

Jazzing sparkle to shine

Ensconcing moon on blue vault

Endowing life to time

Happiness

Winds naughtier, Sun cosier

Birds chirpier, Flowers happier

Breath sunnier, Steps fluffier

Food tastier, Drink intoxier

Heart more hopeful, Gods more merciful 

My Soldier

Image darting through mind

Reminding of laughter shared

Tears secretly veiled from

Naked eyes of the other

You were I

I were you

Indomitable love for life

Fear feared to exist

Wadding through virulent life

With song on lips, scarf cuddling neck

You were I

I were you

Your arms clasping me

Your words prompting life

My pranks being ignored

My mistakes forgiven

You were I

I were you

Sleep not sleepy

Peace not peaceful

You struggling still there

To keep my smile intact

You were I

And...

I still you

Petite Lads

As tears pluck me, Your cherubic smile lends hope

When life refuses to drift, Your little hands propel me

As darkness envelopes, Your dazzling eyes kindle me

When reality becomes strident, Your dreams ameliorate me

As silence broodingly rumbles, Your laughter calms me

When spirit loses tenacity, Your soul galvanizes me

Chums

Grayish- green glistening pebbles

Luxuriating the friendly tap

Of milky pearly water

Far off Winds frolicking with stream

Rewarding soft, warm, friendly tickles

On the cold, moving jaunty gush

Sun peeking snoopishly somewhere

From behind the orangish clouds

Silent witness since many moons

To the union of venerable friends
