Momentary Lapse

Today the world is not sliced in half,

today it can live in peace.

Splilled half the blood in a savage minute,

Some aspirations can still breath.

let off the hook was a new born child,

the spankings for an old widow was least,

Spaced out lungs may feel a dozen beats,

Bickerings of the dogs had ceased.

We shall hang the man in tattered rags,

Later not now, it isn't yet required,

Spared are the guilty of breach.

Now go on and stuff your mouths,

For time is there till the verdict.

Another moment in the cobweb of space,

you may find your loved ones indeed,

wait for the day! wait for the spell!

Earned you have, a release.

Millions of pieces will scatter one day,

till that time you may live!

In the river of loss,

All the blood shall float!

Built your palaces for now,

Ground to dust will your funny resolve,

shatter they will, your dreams.

Untitled

Wet expanse far till the end,

The sea murmurs in a gentle splash,

lapped feet on wet sands stood,

No answers the waves send.

Sprawling leaves in green glory,

Under the sun stood the towering tree,

In the dance of shadow, caressing the barks,

The rustling leaves told no story.

Winds,winds in a sweeping rush,

Careless in a maverick play,

Eyelashes bore the brunt of speed,

Yet questions unaddressed as such.

Closer Look

Came the rain, and came the shine,
i looked for the yellow fields,
Came the dawns and the dusks,
i searched for the elusive clime.

North i went and south too,
Find i not the place,
Rose i fast and sunk i steep,
Yet i missed the clue.

Fast i slept and shaken i woke,
Rest i didn't yet find,
Where i stood no solace dwelled,
To self i laughed and spoke.

Wrote i long a prose on the wall,
Pen i verse on the bricks,
Empty a scroll i found inside,
None the marks at all.

Yes this was the day to be,
i saw the clear signs,
When i ran not any further,
i found my goldmine and thee.
