Rhymes & Thoughts

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....
