As the River Flowed

There were ripples of the sparkling stream.
The crystalline water was mirroring the blue sky.
That befriended with the sun’s wonderful beam.
Beams of the dazzling looking golden eye.

The background was overflowing with mountains.
Mountains with snowcapped peaks,
Their attainment of such exquisiteness is a real arcane. 
What is it above the sky that they seek?

The eagles were gloating about their wings.
O! How marvelous they were to glance upon!
Thrushes flew above the river as they sing.
Grazing on the grassland was a cluster of fawn. 

There I saw the elderly yet strong fisherman.
Flinging his lure in an elegant technique.
Attracting catfish and trout as much as he can,
While sitting on the boulder beside the flowing creek.

The loveliness of the lotus was luring me, 
Positioned silently on the cerulean water.
The white arrowhead was charming as she could be,
Her petals were diminutive as they always were.



Far away, I saw a grandiose tall tower.
Its peak was reaching for the high heavens.
He stood there taking delight over his power,
Amazed all travelers every now and then.

The heavens above exposed a band of colors.
Little time, after the floating dark skies cried.
I then assumed that our life is filled with squalors. 
But don’t worry because later they are all bright.

After the drizzle, dews sat calmly on the grasses.
Scarcely and leisurely moving towards the ground, 
The sunlight coalesces with the dew with tender caress.
How luxurious they looked wearing the golden crown!

The children played alongside the river in pleasure. 
Girls were collecting flowers to make tiaras and garlands,
While boys were skipping stones on the tranquil water
Their little footprints placed themselves on the loose sands.

And I was assembled comfortably on the greens. 
Beside flowed the river without paying any notice.
It cleansed all of my hopelessness and spleen.
Therefore I slept on the nature’s lap with internal peace…

And I Will Always Love You

I made vows to never depart 
away from her
But alas! Yesterday was her 
last day with me
Oh! How I wish fate would 
travel as I prefer
Constantly listening to me 
and voluntarily agree

I sat right next to her as she 
suffered
Suffered from the merciless 
disease
That smote her with a rusty 
sword
Sword that brought her 
down to her knees

I looked at her hopeless 
wrinkled appearance
Her flowing tresses have 
now lost its dye
She gave me a weak smile 
as I glanced
My conscience can't smile 
but just sigh

I grasped her hand while 
she lay on the bed
Motionless like a leaf on a 
flowing rivulet
Her existence now hangs on 
a fragile thread
I deeply desire to own a time
controller with reset

Its been an amazing 
adventure staying with her
We occasionally argued but 
it didn't proceed long
And for ever and a day 
cherished each other
For our love is eternal and
exceptionally strong

The white blank sheets on 
which I inscribe
Requests me not to drench 
them with tears
While the brutal death looks 
at me and gibes
But I know life goes on and I
shouldn't fear

Because I still treasure your 
golden memories
Deep down within my mind 
I still got the views
Reminiscences of how we 
first met and our first kiss
And how you whispered in 
my ears 'I will always love 
you'

Battle Report To My Captain

Captain! Our soldiers have deceased on the battleground.
Young youths! Yes, they were young boys!
Their motionless figure lies on the ground.
Crimson immortal stream shall never end flowing.
Captain! They inhaled their ultimate breath,
But it was a breath that packed their blood with fright.
Several lack arms and limbs;
Some are fragmented by showers of bullet;
While others disintegrated into pieces.
But don’t worry,
For I directed a message to the Command center.
They will ship a fresh division of troops immediately...

Forgive Me

Can you forgive me? For I know I was wrong.
Our bond was exceptionally strong
But what evil wind has blown
away my wit!
Oh! How careless I was! I admit.
Can you have faith in me again?
Even after I inflicted such an
immense pain?
I am sorry for whatever I have done and said;
It wasn’t long before you began to fade.

The memories of you keep coming back to me.
I swear you are the one and you always will be.
Now that the distance between us is excessively great,
Oh! I curse my fate!

I still treasure the memories of the moments we spent together
And therefore, you are always in my heart. Yes, you are…

The Forgotten Death

Is there any possibility to remain alive?
I scrutinized around but they all appeared same
Young boys with an expression of terror
‘Is anybody there?!’ I The coldness of winter stretched everywhere
gave out a shout
My voice echoed through the lonely desert
No sound responded except my own

Sometimes ago it was tremendously noisy 
But with the trade of violence everybody hushed 
I walked around searching for existence
Walking through the crowd of silence wasn't easy
As I frequently stumbled upon the figures of dead
Some of the faces weren't recognizable
Yet I identified the fear in their appearances

Suddenly, my eyes fell upon my companion!
It seemed like he was having a bad dream
His body was pierced by the bullets
‘Wake up sir!’ I shouted at him
‘Your wife and son are waiting with hope!’
He didn't care to answer back to me 
Tears welled up my eyes and so I spoke:
‘You have given up your life but for what?
Death for death? Suffering for sufferance?
I know you have sacrificed your breath
Yet you will live a forgotten death…’

Mountain of Glory

Down among assemblage of 
the common
I gaze up to the peak of the 
Mountain of Glory
It pierced into the heaven 
and
embraced its purity
Many who lacked the 
determination have failed to 
touch it
Will I be able to achieve the 
crown?
These doubts charred the 
courage of my soul
But then a voice within the 
depth called out
‘We may rise and fall, but 
then we get an opportunity.
An opportunity to get up and
continue our journey.'
With these thoughts 
orbiting around my mind
I initiated my journey from 
the bottom
The mountains resisted me 
for I was a stranger to them
It started raining and I was 
wet yet I continued.
Then there was the blizzard 
and I was cold
I was frozen like a soulless 
entity yet I continued.
Frustrated for having failed 
to
eradicate me
The mountains unleashed a 
shower of boulders
Alas! My left leg got crushed 
under the weight of a 
merciless boulder
I was crying alone on the 
mountain terrain
Nobody replied back to my 
cries except for my echoes
My blood-bathed leg turned 
cold and lifeless
I took off my shirt and tied it 
around my leg to stop the 
bleeding
I then, continued supporting 
my entire body upon my 
right leg
Limping and leaving behind 
ruby droplets I climbed
Upon climbing the last 
elevation! Oh! I reached the 
peak!
Gentle zephyrs of the heaven
welcomed and cheered me!
The Sun glowed brightly to
acknowledge my glory!
My name was written among 
the names of the immortals!
While the birds sang ‘Ye 
have
conquered the Mountain of 
Glory! '

I'M Perfect

I frequently tread the incorrect road.
And thus I often get despised by everyone
But I don’t care
Because I know I’m perfect.

I find criticizers everywhere.
They don’t like my behaviors and my appearance
But I don’t care
Because I know I ‘m perfect.

They want me to change.
Change and be an ordinary
But I don’t listen to them
Because I know I’m perfect.

Lost

Alas! I am lost in this darkness of night
Where is the virgin moon to grant me its purity?
The fireflies of night to guide me?
All I see is the darkness that embraced me
And the black shadows walking around
I am struggling to move around in this darkness
Sometimes I stumble over obstacles
I can’t identify these collapsed entities
As I am blinded by the darkness
I shout for help but get no response
The shadows floats past by me 
Like soulless and cold ghosts 
The entire domain is hushed
No! I am mistaken for I receive something
Several feeble sounds of cries and mourning? 
Terror gathers upon me
I can’t realize the act but just hear
For darkness has blindfolded me


I kneel down upon my wounded knees
To plead to Thee for guidance
Maybe a helping hand
Or a light to reveal the way
Oh! Father please guide me! 
I am lost in this darkness of night!
