Freedom

 The Sunday Muse #212



Musings,
Bright, splinted, streaming thoughts
Rejuvenated by destiny.

Weaved,
Collectively through the hazy hours
And wreathed with fine confetti.

Hours of,
Contemplation, pain, and memories
Took, the shape of words.

Finally,
The parchment changed
Displaying a canvas of life lived.

Imperfections,
Sharp, shaped, and dark
Accentuated and accepted in bold.

Veiled

 The Sunday Muse #211


 


From one end of the earth

To another, echoes the images

Of chained voices. Shadows

Separated by hemispheres

Hide behind laced windows.

Life snails on rigid parallels;

The voices silenced, gagged,

By the harsh tones of patriarchy

The reflections stare at the horizon

Their entwined fate

Moves on the elliptical motions 

As their shared destinies

Wear shrouds of truth and lies.

A Calling

 The Sunday Muse #210



A memory

Soaked in rains

Deeply aching,

Blushed suddenly.

On a cloudy day

On the shore,

Two lonely strangers

Met at the stretch.

A glowing face with

The hair gone wild,

In bare feet

Dancing with the waves,

Stared at a face

A shadow,

Covered in a

Marlboro scent.

Thousand emotions

As old as time

Sprung up and danced

In the pair of smoky eyes.

The salt on the skin

Tasted of love and life

As one gaze met another.

On that lonely sandy shore

In the arms of silence

Life left an unfinished story.

Self-Worth

 The Sunday Muse #209




This is how it feels

To be  free

From the baggage.


Baggage of expectations

Others' needs

And self-doubt.


There is freedom

In one's space

Where you find yourself, 


You deserve

To live your life

On your own terms!

A Lacuna

 May musings-2022




It's loneliness

that stares

in the milieu

of thousand voices.

Sands of Time

 The Sunday Muse #208


Can you hear?

The whisper of the erratic seasons,

Heralding in an unknown disaster.

Look! Can you see? 

The  charred forests, eroded cliffs, melting icecaps,

Accentuating the plight of transition.

Can you see the difference?

Glaring head-on,  in yesterday, today;

And the unseen tomorrow.

Wake up! Don't gather; autumn's fallen leaves!

The seasons have left too many telltale signs

The future of  next-generation lies in our hands

Let us do our bit to make the earth breathe again.
