Rhymes & Thoughts

Of Moonlight & Rain One should think of moonlight,  On a lonely night, amidst the whispers of the sea,  How it glistens through the threaded kite in the sky, The warm coldness it brings, with its indifference,  The grace with which it moves through our eyes,  Leaving starry angelic dust behind, across the dark night,  The madness it seeds in our minds, keeping men scared for eons,  Of the darkness in which it thrives, Like her,  The hardened metal she has for a heart,  That shines of false warmth,  I like her,  For she makes me think of moonlight; One should think of rain, The tunes it makes, with haste and vigor,  Without rhymes or beats,  The rush with which it makes the ground sweat,  Making it softer, more vulnerable to lose its stand,  And dance along with the rain's flow,  Enabling life to enter the barren cracks of the Earth,  Can anyone guess if it blossoms into a bright flower, Or grow into a to...

THE SECRET In the darkest of the dark, I saw the same torch I left, Unmoved, still giving out the same light; But there was another standing near it, Basking in its warmth; I went on claiming it, only to be stopped, He said it was his, not knowing I kept it there, Argued that he found it first, While I went out to quench my thirst; I gestured and smiled, to make him look at the torch again, All this time the torch crackled, While animals from deepest' roared and cackled; My name was clearly etched in plain, I was gonna fight for it, whether I lose or gain; Though I felt like I was the one who abandoned, True love or hate will never leave you stranded; Whatever I promised to it would never be wrong, Though I went far far away, in my heart, I still heard its song; It was the only one, that kept me going for so long, Gave me hope, love and faith to be strong; It was such, that its glow gave me vision, Even through the darkest path, i...

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...

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....                  ...
