She Saw The Lilies Fight
(Image Source: http://www.deviantart.com/tag/moonlightflower)
she saw the lilies fight
in the darkness of the night
out in the garden
narrating their plight
they fought for soil
and the sun and moon
they fought for rain
even the next day and noon
they tore each other
uprooting the lives
piercing through the petals
their twigs sharp knives
"We cant live in peace
no more in harmony"
the lilies struck each other
accusing cheat and felony
"But why, what happened,
you were so good till now,"
she tried to reason
but the lilies stared and frowned
"We are lured by riches
and power and possession
we have learnt from humans
waging war across nations."
"What purpose have they solved
None, we know
And yet blinded by greed
to wars, they never say no"
"We aim to be superior
just like you humans
so don't stop us yet
we are befriending the demons."
she was struck by horror
watching the lilies fight
out in the garden
narrating their plight
they tore each other
uprooting the lives
piercing through the petals
their twigs sharp knives

draped in moonlit gown
you appear by my window
the lawn flowers blush

Rat and I
(Image Source: http://www.nfrs.org)
help me Lord
oh help help help
help me today
please help help help
'cause there is a rat
under the mat
wish I could have
a large brown cat
who would chase it down
and hunt it out
and free me from fears
and nervous bout
the clock ticks twelve
it's still in sight
the time now two
what if it bites
I close my eyes
and shudder in fright
is it on my pillow
squeaking this night
a rush here, a hustle there
I could't take it longer
turning on the lights
I headed to the ladder
picking up the broom
and a stick as well
I pledged to myself
to make it's life hell
banging the stick
I hurried to my room
the rat smiled, winked
zip zap zoom
teasing and tossing
it ran to the kitchen
disappearing out of sight
all of a sudden
I retired to my bed
but eluded by sleep
what if it returns
my mind haunting deep
I closed my eyes
breathing in and out
wait, did I hear it again
the rat's squeaking pout

The Pigeon Who Spoke No Word
neither a word
nor 'hello'
he sat still, still
seeking warmth
beyond my window sill
gray and white
and a pinch of black
I couldn't go closer
as he slept on the rack
tip toe tip toe
but he might get scared
hush hush hush hush
or was he in prayer
eyes open wide
and yet motionless
braving the cold
of January heartless
somewhere burnt a log
the smell of flying embers
I looked at the clock
and retired to my chamber
'Good Morning'
poked the sun
the curtains half asleep
I got myself a bun
brushed and bathed
chores all done
when all of a sudden
my head did turn
beyond the window sill
my guest no longer seen
perhaps on his way
from where he has been
a thank you note
for the stay last night
could he have left
before being out of sight
only if I had
looked down for a second
by the shrubs and bushes
his lifeless form awakened
drowned in the mist
the night had to offer
laid on the streets
embracing death proper
the shiver went unnoticed
his prayers had been deaf
who could have noticed
hardly anyone cared
men butchering men
humans a shameless race
who would even care
about a dead pigeon's case
and he rested
until picked among the rags
and he tasted
the garbage in the bags
neither a word
nor 'hello'
he slept still, still
seeking warmth
beyond my gory sill

Clouds and Stars
(Image Source: https://www.youtube.com)
how mean and cruel of the clouds
to hide away the stars
as I sit, gazing, on my roof
the lonesome reality but a farce
I count on my fingers
and then in stones and pebbles
the numbers do not match
alas, this sky isn't my fable
there, squealing in fright
my star comes in sight
only for a second though
before it succumbs to the fight
O clouds, have some mercy
let them twinkle, shine bright
how much longer shall we wait
for this darkness to welcome the light

even fish did fly
in the kingdom of his dreams
they called him crazy

Voices
(Image Source: http://www.123rf.com)
do you hear those voices
screaming from the past
stories of your failures
and how you stood last
they are made of tears
some salty, some bitter
your heart has been in shreds
in garbage, and among litter
but hey, you have learnt
to pick up those pieces
the wounds which once burnt
are now mere creases
through the tunnel most dark
you've kissed the light
hit by hundred daggers sharp
you rose from your plight
no longer should you ever
get bogged down by struggles
remember they are the steps
to multiple victory huddles
you are your strength
the pride forever lasts
do listen to those voices
your triumphs from the past

Red And White
(Image Source: Amity Farm Batik)
three unicorns red
and a multitude of white
singing from the castle
on a winter's moonlit night
I look out my window
and smile at the sight
why not believe in magic
when it seems just so right
