From Your Soldier

“Dear maya”, he wrote, in his bunker somewhere remote

His mind wandered to her joyous smile, seperated as they were, by many a mile,

He penned what came to him instinctively, in a scrawly handwriting,”I miss you lovely”

He wrote about everything but not for long,he wanted to tell her he missed her singing their song.

He wrote about how his home did he miss,his bike, his school and his mother’s kiss

His brother’s dare, his sister’s care,

his eyes glittered as he put it all down,his dimpled cheeks twisted into a deep sad frown,

He wrote about how, of her everything reminded him, his eyes hesitantly filled to the brim,

The distance for a while didn’t his heart tear, oh what he’d give up to at her stare,

Her hand on his heart, never would he want to part;

But close by there was a deafening sound,he knew had to leave, he was duty bound,

He ended his letter;promised to see her soon, in this world of internet, to him letters were still the only boon.

The Music Was Loud That Night

The music was loud that night. And the lights were flickering but bright.

We were hugely surrounded but romantically secluded.

In a club where the music was loud that night, my heart felt light.

We danced at the beats like birds set free, and then drowned shots, one two and three.

Our story was similar to Cinderella’s, it was raining that night and we didnt have umbrellas

As midnight drew closer, we hung on to each other and time stood still, the uneasy loudness indicating the impending peril.

It was right after the clock struck one, the crowd moved, but seemed to move none.

We just stood there, not out bound, appriciating what we had, when there was a deafening striking sound.

Unnecessary panic struck everyone, there was chaos like hell had come undone.

Like satan’s angels, the police flocked in, at the club with the loud music, where everyone seemed prone to sin.

And people moved fast, but could not escape, there was no bypassing hell’s gate

And it had suddenly become an unfortunate doomesday what was originally only a midsummer’s sunday

the music was still loud that night, when the air was suddenly surrounded by fright.

Mrs Maya

Under the towering bridge, beside the tulip garden, next to the curvy ridge, sat a soldier awaiting no one.
 
Merged with a melody of notes, when the rappling river hummed it's tune, this man felt remorese to which one could never be immune.
 
The silent breeze calmed the dimming sky, the weather turned plesently chilly and steadily peace seemed to multiply
 
With a lit cigar between his fingers and his head admits conflict, sat this man in his room, clouded by the early morning's mist.
 
Birds chirped near by, the river hummed along, the occasional ticking of the clock, was the only other sound.

“Dear maya”, he wrote, as he returned to his bunker somewhere remote

His mind wandered to her joyous smile, seperated as they were, by many a mile,

He penned what came to him instinctively, in a scrawly handwriting,”I miss you lovely”

He wrote about everything but not for long,he wanted to tell her he missed her singing their song.

He wrote about how his home did he miss,his bike, his school and his mother’s kiss

His brother’s dare, his sister’s care,

his eyes glittered as he put it all down,his dimpled cheeks twisted into a deep sad frown,

He wrote about how, of her everything reminded him, his eyes hesitantly filled to the brim,

The distance for a while did his heart tear, oh what he’d give up to, at her stare,


To his mind then came this tiny little creature, to the soldier his pup was the greatest gift of nature 
 
Back home With his face looping, and on his feet four, stood this amazing someone, barking in wait at the door,
 
The empty wardrobe in the house, meant nothing to Tim, the man's shoes were what he held onto because they still smelt like him.
 
The pup seemed to look at the door, everytime it seemed to creek, waiting for the man whom he loved, to whom his eyes did speak.
 
When the fresh breeze blowing off the river, touched this man's frawning face, he realised there were tears coming off his eyes, thinking of the tiny heart who ran to him in chase.
 
Growing up with a companion, and then being torn apart, this story didn't seem fair, nothing of literature or art.
 
Will this tale of separation ever come to an end? Asked the man's gloomy heart, that longed for his best friend.

But close by there was a deafening sound,he knew had to leave, he was duty bound,

He ended his letter; promised to see them soon, in this world of internet, to him letters were still the only boon.

And after that boom that day, the phone at home almost never rang, Maya's melody was lost, she never again sang.
 
Even after years, she couldnt talk of her soldier without a deep sad frown, 
 
In her nightmare she lost him; she woke up and he was still gone

Eerie

A lonely road, it was dark, Close by there were trees, and a park,
 
Home was close,yet surprisingly far, there was no fuel in my car
 
There was a building coloured white, and everywhere around it, it was quite,
 
There were dogs barking at a distance, proud and threatening in announcing their existence,
 
It was past 10 at night, the eeriness made my soul shiver in fright,
 
And suddenly, there was a shudder in the bushes nearby, and a terrific thundering in the sky,
 
I waited in anticipation, waiting for a beast to come for my distruction,
 
It all went silent for what felt like eternity, an uncomfortable calm disturbing my sanity,
 
Suddenly out came a rushing pig, and a dozen piglets, from behind the ridge,
 
What was I to think? Me, who's heart did majorly shrink?
 
I looked up, my eyes landed on the building with the ghostly ghastly shadows of the trees surrounding,
 
The wind moved the trees, with it the shadows did dance, and suddenly took a deadly cold stance
 
I felt like I was a survivor of the devilish night, when I heard the nearing roar of a triumphing bike

An Ode To a Mariner

Surrounded by people, alone as i sit,I stare out far, at a man in a shiny car.
 
Boredom takes me to the far away sea,to the sailor surrounded by nothing but blue to see,
 
As the wind blows,the vessel sails, he sits and wonders how for a person, the heart could wail,
 
For fond Memories and remembrances haunt him as the sun sets
 
At dusk and at twilight, when the birds return to their nests.
 
Here where I am, I wonder if the sea knows, of the mariner and his promising woes.
 
that he who is surrounded by nothing but waves has no other wish but to escape.
 
Would the ocean send the mariner to his abode? Away from the sea, towards the shore?
 
Because an incomplete story would magically complete,With the much awaited return of the mariner's glorious fleet.

A Muser of Immaturity

Hi Instagram here's why you need to stop showing me he is seeing my stories.
Cause He ain't gonna come visit my profile.
He ain't gonna tag.
All you know is he is online and all I know is it ain't for me.


Hi WhatsApp.  Here's why you need to stop showing me he is online.
Cause that online ain’t ever turning into typing.
He isn't going to call.
All you know is he is online and I ain't getting no texts ever.


Hi Facebook here's why you need to stop showing me he is online.
Cause he doesn't care about what happened a year ago today,
He ain't gonna visit my profile like he used to.
All you know is he is online. All I know is, it is from you that it all began..

Hide and Seek

I know it isn't fair that you don't even know yet, what stands behind curtains of non porous net.

And I know I should tell you this ever so scary truth, but you stay far away, and there's no phone booth.

I call and call, but your phone doesn't connect, keeping things from you I definitely don't want to regret.

This has become hide and seek what you and I now play, avoiding the inevitable just to intentionally delay.

This game only got me to wonder, maybe it's really your turn today, and to this if I shouldnt just surrender.

Cause you seem to have lost yourself, in all the other players, yourself gone amiss, in a pack of seeming stayers

From my carefully chosen hiding place, for you as I look, not finding you leaves me unsurprisingly shook.

What if the game is over and everyone's gone, and here I'd stoop hiding forgotten in the lawn

Behind the white bench as I crouch and wait, what if you've left thinking it's too late?

As the moon slowly comes out, I begin to feel lonely, abandoned by my own, wilfully.

I try to sneak and see if you were still looking for me, only to find myself alone, while everyone else is nowhere to see.

It'd hurt if I was still expecting to be found, but I wasnt, As I succumbed to sleep right there in the playground.

I knew right there that You, for me, wouldn't come to look, you've forgotten me, and for that to sink in, all this while it took.

The Woman and the Pup

And with the first rain's smell, she withdrew into her shell.
With no sound other than her dog's paws on the cold ground,
Her warm soup she began to taste, her loneliness she couldn't really embrace.
As tears her nose did touch, she looked at her pup and realised she didn't need much.
And when the tiny one saw tears stream out of his best friend's eyes, he sniffed the air protectively as if to smell the cause of fright,
It was almost as if he could hear the sound of her heart, he looked around when he realised there wasn't no one from them apart.
His food the pup did not Taste on that day of distress, but decided to sit by the grieving mistress.
On that day, his master's absence did his soul touch, that day the woman and the pup, missed their love so much.

Dance

In a smiling crowd his smile stood apart, in a museum he'd look like a state of art.

As in the sky flew many a colourful bird, she had a easy way with expressing herself in the word

After a long quest extreme, in him She found her poem's theme.

So if it hurts, she'd still take the Chance, With a crowd of people watching, with him she'll always dance

Dear Mini,

Dear Mini,
A cheery bird flew to me today, and It reminds me of how you are so far away.

With it's claws and it's tail bright red, This bird reminds me of your peaceful face in bed.

It's melodious and soulful song, reminds me of how I haven't seen you in so very long.

Away as I am, surrounded by nothing but the blue sea; I look at my companion, and you I wanna see.

And as my boat beats against the sea's many a wave, I am reminded of how all my mistakes you forgave.

And on a summer's afternoon, this tiny bird to me does bring, your country's homely, warm spring.

And as this bird with a tiny leap, begins to fly out of reach, I remember my lonely walk, away from you towards the beach.

Talking to the breeze, flew away my tiny bird, reminding me of the many things, that were unsaid but heard.

And when this bird, moves out of sight, with no warning no sigh, It haunts me how, To you, I never got to say good bye.

And with no one to accompany me, on this solo voyage of mine, that bird reminded me of you, my no moon night's moonshine.

And as I sail away, from this unknown bay,
 Dear Mini, I miss you today, I miss you today.
