VIDA

We are always trying to proof someone is wrong
We are always trying to break the rhythm of the song
We are all lost and have dreams so lucid
But our eyes can’t defy they are pellucid

Through the silver lining we are always trying
Trying to hold a little of cloud nine
It’s like seeing clearly while being breathless
Being in pain to clear our own mess

It’s always a struggle between you and me and me and she
It’s a pseudo struggle in the only place we could be
We race and race hoping to reach the finish line
But In the end we all sublime

On the last day there is no judge
On the last day you will feel no grudge
All you will want is to finally retire
It’s the way life satires

Whiteout

On a snowy day when the sky is pouring whites

It’s then when a sudden thought strikes

But then in a minute I loose my words

Rhythmless becomes my thought cords

It’s so white and full of glare

Nothing to see but vaguely stare

Where is the sky where is land

Where is the ocean where is the sand

The kid I saw stretched out his hand

Waited for few cottony flakes to

land

His dark curious eyes just shown

The smile was the debt nature owned

Few birds dared to spread their wings

They echoed and invited others to sing

How do they know where to fly

Nature has its way to simplify

The squall roared the tempest laughed

Outside it’s white the turf is cuffed

Everything is wrapped in even white

It’s a pleasure for the mighty heart sight

Magda

Met an old lady all pink pink pink

Her old eye did rarely blink blink blink

I voiced her story

Nothing unusual or glory

She had travelled long roads all alone

She stood lion heartedly on those unknown zone

Found her perfect Prince Charming

Discovered later he could be the one harming

So she walked away with a shiver

Saw that phase pass like a river

She had lots to give and less to earn

Now she knew it was her turn

She took a job to pamper and coddle

That how her spirit remodeled

She was happy and she was free

Peace was waiting she had found the golden key

Leisure

I was gazing aimlessly at the sky

My leisure, time passing by

The clouds floating like cotton candy

No one to care if I am dandy

Have you cared for such a time

When you sit to listen to the wind chime

You are you and no one to be

The smile is back you have found the key

So take out sometime to open your blind

Thats how you will see the sunshine

A smile will not cost a thing

Sometimes be aimless and wear a baby grin

Others

Tick tock tick tock

It was midnight 12 ‘O’ clock

The chilled wind

The dreamers dream

The time so old

The unconsoled

The cry was sharp

The harper harps

The pungent smell

The ringing bell

The wheels that rolled

The Time unfolds

The spine was cold

The Thoughts behold

Tick tock tick tock

When it was midnight 12 ‘O’ clock

Mother

While You sleep cuddled up on my chest

And I try to match the rhythm of your breath

The music of the symphonic chimes by my windowpane

The view from my window of the near by lane

The autumn trees had fluttered its colorful wing

The afternoon sun had a cold sting

While You sleep cuddled up on my chest

And I try to match the rhythm of your breath

Poem- Inverted City Line

With a vial from the white grape vine

What I see is the inverted city line

Shining like jewels in the dark

I hear a symphony from the broken harp

A home so sweet, a home divine

A home, a den perhaps mine

Or is it the flaunts of the art that lies

Or is it the place where being dies

My words are words and words so naive

Perhaps few thoughts from my mind hive

The choice is us, the choice is mine

It is us and we design

The shining inverted city line

The Melting Snow

Matter when it changes its States

The photo was taken after the winter storm Jonas which rocked the Unites States in 2016. The white winter was bought by the winter storm which resulted in 27 hours of constant snowing. Managed to capture this shot from my kitchen window after it had stopped snowing and we were all happy to see the bright sun.

The reflection of our apartment can be seen inside the drop along with the inverted blue sky.

Poem- Silence

The sky poured down some drops on green
The grass just laughed in silence unseen
The ruthless water that touched the rock so cold
Produced in silence a harmony sound of soul
The motherhood shared between a cow and calf
Reflected in silence in the eyes that laughed

The touch was felt by the rock
The feeling were preserved and locked
The alchemist thirsty searched the unknown
Forgetting the Sun that brightly shone
A known face eroded with time
The breath was there like a soulful hyme
