A scar of another war

A seven year old girl knows, What it feels when it is the last hug, To her hero, who will be remembered  As country's hero. Lovers lie to each other,  As they promise to meet again, The whispering tale of love, They lock the love with the last kiss. Kite flies and falls, With dust of red storm, Sunflowers stoop as the sun fails, To give warmth and promise, There is a shower of fear, As the feathers and beaks fall. Dogs bury the wings, Mourning  the last flight in the winds. In the chaos, there is a pause, A streak of hope on the streets of Sumy, A trumpeter plays the Ukraine Anthem. And the crowd cheers Salva Ukraine!  Glory to Ukraine!

Do I know myself ?

Do I know myself ? Am I a dusty book on a shelf? Many a times, I please those I don't like. I smile at those I despise, I deceive my worldly words. I raise my brow when I receive flowery swords. Some times, I puzzle the puzzled moron. I play the pranks in a busy room. I start my conversation with interrogative, I shower whys like deerogatives. All the times, I wish to say no, To the useless chores in a row. I wish not to bow, To the men whose trumpet all blow.

Light

In the dead of night, When nothing seems right, I see a flickering light. My ghosts tell me thrice, If it extinguishes, who will pay the price? My fears fear & I fall twice. In the serene hours of dawn. My heart beat skips at moments gone. I bid farewell to forgotten forlorn. I see a flickering light. It warms my day with delight. I sleep to meet a day bright.

Smile & Tear

Smile is an infectious rhyme, Someone tells me all the time. A tiny tale of tear, Someone tells me with fear. If smile wears the optimism,  Do tears not shed the pessimism? Smile releases the dopamine, Tears tear the tears and welcome Serotonin. Both smile and tears are the monsoon, One arrives with thunder and the other departs soon.

Hope

Hope Another four letter word, Which makes you try. One more time… Which makes you love, What you had lost. One more time… Which ignites the flame, Of the extinguished game. One more time… Which brings out the pain, And you no more lament in vain. One more time… Which takes you to seasonal seasons, Once you despised for some reasons. One more time… Which whispers you to stay strong,  In the transient storm. One more time… Is hope a word Which chased me & changed my world? One more time...
