Poem 83.Black

Black

Sorrows and helplessness
attacks  on all days
fills the mind whole
then burst,nothing more.

When hurt inside deep
with words or mere a look
the depth of wound you cant
assess with just a peep .

Bleeding mind, unseen pain
makes the breath difficult
no sound comes from mouth
try so hard you do.

Suffocation when out of control

sounds come from chest
so strong in the form of cough
leave you shaky breathless .

Dead inside almost,the mind,
Yet you expect light in eyes,
a smile on face?  ha..human dear,
Just in black and more black.....

Poem82. Timeworn Memories

Timeworn Memories

Being back in teens
fresh natural feelings
no high standard to meet
do what I wish to do.

All those days long back
comes back fresh on mind
not  only remembering
but feels  like re-living.

My hand just goes up
as if to catch the moment
to stop the time forever
to feel that, so precious.

Never had I thought
all was stored inside,
until it got re-winded
the timeworn memories.

Last minute what I did
difficult to remember
but silly, can visualize
all those with open eyes.

So happy but so sad
time had gone away
Yes,taken its toll on me
just a fading flower.


Written for the Poet United's Thursday Think Tank prompt 'Timeworn'.

Poem81.Afraid

 AFRAID

Was trotting in the ground
for health, going round

got aware of a sudden
some odd stares on.

Turned around to find

saw in black hood two

looked to know who were
but saw no face ,shocked.

Worried with fear, not sure,

it was real surprise.

Question sure I did,

but sound got just echoed.

Simply they followed

without a sound or nod

who they really were

why follow confused.

Were they the death guards?

came to take me off guard?

did my days do end,

or warning of some sort?

Chanted all the prayers,

which came to mind with fear

you take, no probs , oh God,

but why you make me afraid?

Poem80.Sail on a leaf..

Sail on a leaf..

Was swimming all alone

with fierce loneliness

tried to look across

saw just water more.

A leaf came to me

as I was drowning blue.

Tired and half lost

no energy to fight.

Got onto ,without thinking

boats were moving

ships were sailing

but, none was stopping.

Unknown leaf owner

acknowledged, a head shake

handed me with another

one of his rows spare.

Shaking the row in water

tried to learn it safer

no punch laugh or jokes

silent,safe but serious.

Anger tension always abode

but ,sails always secure

has on mind that am there

won't take risks anymore.

Gratefulness or love

what should I have

for looking after me

when no body was there.

Poem79.Searching

Searching

Was searching for something
wandering without idea,
what was looking for.

Now, my path more clear ;
from wisdom of passed days
yes,going towards the aim.

Knew the search is for love;
the one,not with gaps
continuous and complete.

Have seen here there just drops.
But, how to quench the thirst
with little drops, I wonder?

Hope the love which I search madly
 will bring a soft smile of peace,
and make me radiate love.
