I wondered! Am I the only one here?
Figuring out ways yet to be figured
I struggled to keep up my confidence
Fighting with my inner self every time
I was scared I may fall from that cliff
Following my mind wasn’t helping me
I cried like a small baby left in darkness
Finding a way out is near to impossible
I stretched my hand to hold that fence
Fool I was to believe that it was strong
I was blindfolded in his stream of love
Forgetting that a drought can dry it up
She lived in a world ruled by laws
Forcing to rule out her yearnings
Compelled to live an undesired life
For what they call culture and ethics
She was like a wave in an ocean
Vibrant and vivacious with full of life
Restrained by invisible boundaries
Ruptured by the chains tied around
Exhausted and fatigued she waited
Counting those waves passing by…
I never miss my morning walk through the small farm area behind my house whenever I get time and surprisingly there is always something awaiting me to capture and write about.
Let me share with you what I found today…
This is the fallen petals of banana flower. I saw them on the floor and arranged it like this to click a picture. As always thoughts started to sprout in my mind about the short life of these petals and yes I tried to put those ramblings of my mind into words which you can read now.
I was bright and beautiful when born
Red as blood and skin soft as velvet
I wrapped myself around my little ones
Guarding them from harshness of days
They grew and the day I scared arrived
My protection was a burden for them
Detatched from my life I rested on soil
My colours faded and my skin dried up
I waited there with a spark of hope
Till the day I was embraced by earth…
Have a great day friends!
I felt trapped inside the black cloud
Freedom was what I was waiting for
Move around without being watched
Away from the eyes that followed me
Restricted to move around on my own
Irked being stuck whole day and night
In that cocoon away from the world
Not aware of the dangers on the earth
I set myself free to explore the world
As tiny drops I ran towards my dream
Engulfing everything in my vicinity
Clueless I was inviting my own death
Scattered I lied there shattered in bits
Till the mighty sun took my last breath
I sat there searching pages of my life
Wandering through my memory trail
My mind disturbed counting my losses
Which was seized mercilessly by time
Where did I lose my unfeigned smiles?
Where did I lose my innocent heart?
Untouched by the pollution and noise
My life started in this beautiful village
Nature filled my mind with its colours
Peace was what I was taught by them
Ego and jealosy was unknown words
Competition and greed was unfamiliar
Yearning to dive back to those days
With a heavy heart I returned back
Day light gave way to the darkness
Reminding me that it is time to leave…
Her furry blanket veiled the blue sky
Building barriers to stop craving hearts
His magnificent blue eliciting charm
With a spell to stupefy his admirers
The stream stood still with no waves
Trees shed their leaves for better view
Head over heels the whole nature fell
Mesmerised by his magical charisma
When days passed to centuries
They sing the story of an era
Mighty kings and battles fought
The glory and downfall with time
Sweat and blood shed all over
Every single stone remembers it
House of thousand souls in arms
Their carvings sharp and bright
Turned into a place for tourists
Awaiting few words of approval
Weekly photo challenge – favourite place
Her beauty untouched by time
She stands with her head high
Uncompromising on her charm
Watching the world in silence
Every single block hold a story
Of hardwork and commitment
Magnificence and exquisiteness
Steals every heart gazing at her
May her glory remain here forever
Treasuring the history and past
Hey friends,
Here is my submission for this week’s photochallenge – Silence
There is nothing beautiful than the silence of nature. Especially when you live in a city flooded with sound of traffic and people all around you and living life like a robot, these short getaways to the heart of nature where there is no intervention of humans make me feel so good. Its like rebooting myself and filling a fresh energy to push me ahead to prepare for the upcoming routine schedule.
Time stood still in a deep sorrow
My vision blocked by thick fog
Ruling out the parallel life I live
Still I feel I am locked in a cage
Eager to fly like a bird let loose
Wander away to worlds unseen
Move away from all the havocs
Snuggle in the silence of nature
I have been going through my gallery searching for a meaningful photo to submit for this week’s photo challenge and got stuck into this capture.
All those who search for the hidden meaning inside this image, I would like to suggest you to read the following poem!
They stood there divided by the river
Struggling hard to be together
Stretching its branches in full length
Leaning towards to feel the touch
Still they feel they are one soul
With the bridge connecting them
Villains are there in all love stories
Here river turned to be one
Still they waited days and months
For that precious moment to come
When their soul and body be one
And remain together forever…
