Pen and Paper
Turning and turning, Frustrated Self
Tear up page after page, thinking –
Not this, not that, not these.
Long held pen, between fingers,
Yearns some rest, see there –
Left open on the page, seems to be
Dried up, by the heat of Frustrated mind.
Lacking words, not thoughts, to be drawn
The Frustrated Self does drag it on page.
Midnight’s conscious mind moans –
If not the flood of words,
Then at least a rivulet of keen flow.
Dawn! Dawn! Dawn has come,
But not a ray of word,
To the self, to the page,
But the page is not blank.
Song of Decay
Day by day, I grow pale and paler
More I want to blaze up
More I become the ashes
Blazing aspirations lie in my heart
By engaging the storm to put off the sparks
The devil takes pleasure in dark – the world of ashes
HAD Lustrous eyes of beauty, but Alas!
Why are those shines now?
The older I become,
The more beauty to lose!
Harmonious Heart wants to sing
The song of beauty
But, body gives a red alert – a song
The song of decay
