Loneliness...

Loneliness has crept in to life

Just as dusk has broken in to the day

In the amidst of happiness and dejection

I stood before death waiting to be preyed

One by one entered my life

And shown the taste of love and care

Slowly they ended up their role

As a critic, giving the pain I can’t bear

I’m not a coward to accept the truth

I’m not a courageous to accept the wrath

I’m just a human like everyone

To live the way I’m, though being called a moron

The words that were evaporated in happiness

Now coming on run in this loneliness

These are the only company I’ll have life long

That let me express without pointing me wrong…

The Bride

The nature has given her the beauty

And changed calendars, the age

Reminded her parents, of their duty

Of making their daughters marriage

When the word ‘marriage’ touched her ears

 Little smile crossed her lips in shy

But a fear for future years

 Is revealed in her unspoken eyes

Born out of parents love

And brought up with the parents care

She looks like a golden dove

Who would be her perfect pair?

From the little steps learnt from father

She will be stepping a new home

From the taste of food fed by her mother

She will be cooking for the kin

She never considers looks and prosperity

Are the qualifications to be her spouse

She just craves for a bit love and care

 That can replace everything in this world

Accepting change in every step

Of life, a girl becomes bride

Generations may leap, giving birth to younger

But changes in bride’s feelings will never occur.
