A Woman With Her Peas and Concentration Camps

And then all of a sudden I was in a mysterious world, 
A woman here shelling peas, for they have no rights to be wasted
Being ignored in her shop, they were two days older
She had more of the new arrivals but then she has got the power,
that to know both the peas were same inside as how they should be
I need to take her, to a faraway land, once gone 
There were these captives,begging to get their pea of the day in a camp full of illusions
And those melancholic eyes would really find what grateful is, if they happen to see her

Human Rights

Evolved are the beings into the land of survival
Extending into the vast surfaces, creating boundaries, 
for they are involved in the process of progression 
As they spread, the nature differentiated them in the name of race
No disturbing of nature, for she believes each of her beings is unique and diverse 
Then came the beings of single minded reality, 
that indeed measured everything in a single scale 
Laws were there accompanying flaws, and
That's how exploded the bombs and the banners 
Fighting is an endless go for the sake of survival
As society changes, there comes an inequality standard, 
And that's when the beings come forward in a crowd, 
In a unison cried for the Human Rights, for they knew every sapient out there deserves it

Being a Light To Others

In a way, I go along the path it shows, 
Climbing in the highs, crawling into the lows, 
The game is all set to go straight ahead, 
Many tend to move as how they were told
And there this shine from the deep rising hole 
As one fall in, it gave the ray of hope to go further in the play 
Nothing matters to them in that moment, 
Just staring at the brightness, by means to glow along 
True! As I fall in, there is this face, too familiar, 
There is this light, as the halo glows all around her head.

To the Best Man In This Life of Her

In the darkness of a rising hole, there came the flash, 
liting up her eyes, as she went to it
She saw the same man carrying tons of veggies to sell, 
for he needed to give her some notebooks to hold
The man seemed to be a close relative to the owls, Staying awake the same as them 
Nowhere to be seen except for the time when she needed him
The moments were there, when he held her hand so tight, refusing to quit in the battle of life
Being the best man in this life of her, she pleads to hold him in her eyes as always, 
For this existence means a void without him

It All Started At the Frozen Sight

The day came finally, when the late mates met, 
There was her past, existing in her memories
The past, having its own strength though,  holding him tight, no desire to let go
Under the shade of the same tree, once too dense, so is her measure of feelings for him
Where ever her eyes go, there were places of him in the life meant to be as lost
Then came the steps of contact, where his eyes once met hers and time caught froze
It might be a dream though, but she is there in the freeze again 
But now a blurred vision as the freeze melts, tears dropped in to the deep ocean of her memories, 
Once again and forever,

A Cry For Peace

Having seen the human phases of love and war, 
Throughout the whole existence, they made their own history
People say history is repeating, so it does
But the present ones who say that are not the same anymore
History has taught them enough, at least for an empath - The depth of peace
Let the cage be opened instead of being broken
There's a lot to human suffering, as man evolves, 
Needing the cry for peace more than ever
We wish for peace, let the world be at peace 
As a war maybe a cause for a change, 
As how it's a cause for an extinction

An Obsessed Mind Full of Obscured Thoughts

On the way of choosing my path,
right or wrong I lost my mind
Thoughts are there stored enough to perplex,
waves of words blew all along the way,
unclear, be more precise else I might be caught,
caught in a couch tied with a string,
after when the precision came 
It came, stayed roamed, gathered all along,
tied into a single knot, 
which finally I tried to untie but burnt,
burnt in the very own place of where it was born
So now precision might not be the concern
Something more, more precise than the precision
Perhaps more accepting and acknowledging
By thinking this way, once again lost,
lost into the whirlpool dying deep down of thinking
what is indeed needed to be thought by this mind,
of what really is it trying to do with me?

The Night Sky As How They See It

As they climb to the top of the mound, laying there exasperated, 
She opens the lid of her vision into the vast darkness above
Twinkling there, spread in the millions, 
Those tiny shining freckles stare at her, 
wide awake from Nowhere, just to see her glow along with them 
Slowing in movement, the vision is getting into the crescent crystal of that holy night
As her lips curves, she's been seen
Seen by him as he witnesses the whole night sky in her eyes.
