Rhymes & Thoughts

VOICE OF A CLOUD I'm alone, but are there really no one around? I'm detached, but don't I ever feel like walking the ground?! I ride the winds and I float above, Making the world happier and filling it with love; I'm the sense of mystery and the source of hope, I bring peace and dip the heat as I run down the slope(s); I roam free from the seas, land and round; I may look soaring, but you should know I'm too bound; With eagles flying beneath me looking for prey; For some, I may seem like gloom in grey; But I'm in no mood to look into you, I carry loads of life which is ready to spew; I know I look glorious and beautiful from your view, But you should know I'm the first one from our crew, While we're welcomed by the dance of peafowl and breeze, Our might is felt even deep within the seas, With the teetering of the trees, People's hearts turn to us and sees, They beg for our blessings and asks us to please; We are the life

OUR LIVES Thanks for reminding, yeah, I speak through letters, Usually letters of peace, but you let them forget; When did majority of us become critters, 'cause not all of us, have a way of ours, Yet we blame others for what we get; Two men, two differing opinions and power, is enough for chaos, I ask, What is our life worth?!; We're born, we're alive and then we're dead; I get your point, so who cares what we do, That doesn't mean, you gotta paint the whole world red, You mind, there are others, other than you too; All of life is nothing but a rare mistake, Of the divine hands; But it's still precious to us, give or take, Leading us to our errands; Religions failed, doctrines failed, governments failed, "You ask me how?, I say look around"; Murderers walking, corrupt ruling and rapists bailed, Aren't they supposed to be buried underground; The clap of peace is audible, only when there are

AN ODE TO RAIN Just boarded the train, After walking all the way in rain; With the train's ignorance telling me, "It's really bad, if you get wet above knee"; But I know I was almost drenched, still I realized we are our own universe, I felt, it was me, thanking myself for a good day, While others were swearing it, as I say; From just the petrichor to flooding the drains, The divine tune was audible from the trains; With every rock, the train went dancing, From station to station, listening to rain sing; It's a gentle reminder to break the routine. Its mandatory to experience it while you're a teen; Without it, world's nothing but a trash bin, And frankly, pausing life has never been a sin.                                                     -Arun Krishna G

TONIGHT'S TALE Tonight, tonight I wonder, With just the moon witnessing my solitude, I stopped to look back and yes I've progressed; But why the hole in the heart, I ponder; Maybe loneliness is a windfall of being unique; Tonight, tonight I wonder, Where are the golden fruits that I bit, With everyone around me seeing it, Lauding me, hailing me, I'm failing to see what I hit; Earned the honey, but can't feel the taste; Holding the drink, but can't take a sip; Maybe numbness is a windfall of being peculiar; Tonight, tonight I wonder, Tell me you gentle moon, I'm missing the same half as you; Tell me you radiant sun, I'm missing the same company as you; Why do they like you for missing your counterpart; Maybe separation is a windfall for having a heart; Tonight, tonight I ask, The world is filled with tasks and people wearing masks, How am I gonna find my half, Do I lift the masks or befriend Him?;

ABOUT A GIRL...❤ …. The hourglass chimed with the sweetest voice to be heard, Yes, it was her, As bright as the sun, as cool as the moon, As graceful as the wind, man!, it had to be a boon; She was an angel, who taught me what to look for in a girl, God!! For a moment I thought I was going down a whirl; Just like how the unsinkable sank and the indestructible broke, She cracked me open, "I'm punishing you with a boon", God spoke; I felt elevated up the rank, Like on an elevator, Saw the whole world disappear beneath me, to be frank. "Lucifer, we are God's best creation, I'm witnessing it", I felt my body getting sacred bit by bit, Inside's getting lit; Stunned I was, breathtaking she was; Realized I was charmed, only when she left; Not sure how much of my heart was left, I saw her everywhere, I got parts of myself, Saved it in a book on a shelf, It was about a girl....
