Kaleidoscope
Words shuffle in a closed tunnel
Phrases adjoin to a kaleidoscope
A patterned sequence of dialogues
Projected upon an unfaltered mind
With every slight twist of tube
A new pattern displays onscreen
The randomness of events cast
A stimulant till the judgement day
The day unplanned, just as planned
Well trained yet nervously shivering
A rigid mindset to an altering system
On a snap it went, to the panic mode
As patterns gush on a single turn
The mind juggles to capture chaos
Tries to make sense of the bedlam
As the shards of words slit through
Looking up to catch their response
A tiny boundary framed by words
Deeply engrossed in their own circle
The panel of judges stand eerily still
Just as baffled by their ignored folly
Never was there anyone to impress
Life's mischievous prank well played
Neither the juror was ever to judge
Nor the performer ever to perform

A Feather
Guided by wind, I float afar
A mile away from my carcass
More the distance from tragedy
Blurrier the image of the crash
More the turbulence of the wind
Speed, a catalyst to my odyssey
All through my eternity I flew
Yet never free from the torso
Though unbound from mortality
The wind continues guiding me
Can I ever experience liberty?
Do I have an individuality?
Would I fail if left on my own?
In that case, with all honesty
Am I really winning this race?
My thoughts afloat as myself
Listening to my endless rant
Winds loosen up in dismayal
I fall freely, like a flip of coin
If I live, that's where I need to be
If not, I take up the responsibility
No weight should I be carrying
No guardian should I be needing

The Greener Side
I come from within the darkest of regions
The murkiness of forests bringing solace
Soaking benevolent rays that envelope me
Traces of light relished beneath its canopies
Uprooted from my origin, I reach a new abode
Beside trees with the most perfect of branches
Upon assuming them more alive than myself
I begun to ponder over my worthless existence
I despised the creepers that grew over me
Blooming onto every greasy nook of warmth
Contours hidden behind thick, barbed wires
Squeezing myself, befitting the other trees
After all attempts of adhering to stringency
I could never call this pseudo world my home
Stranded in a place with every possible luxury
Looking over for a glimpse of the other side
Grey lands devoid of an evidence of green
Concrete occupying its domineering space
The sickly vegetation looking up to mankind
While man lured into an endless suffering
Eventually wildering into a self built doom
The grass greener on the side I stand
The garden more divine than they seem
A sanctuary built linking the other's roots
A connectedness arising within the soil

Dear Diary
My path crossed with an old friend
Bewildered by my unexpected visit
Worn out from years of negligence
Trying her very best to go unnoticed
Severely abused across her frail body
I empathized with her weary condition
Trying her best to assure not to worry
While looking anywhere but my eyes
After hours of persistent questioning
She blurted all out with a straight face
Her words filled with painful remorse
Parts of her torn out, hidden in shame
Tear stains blotting her feeble voice
Trying to make sense of her trauma
Listening to her, I sensed a familiarity
A long forgotten play I was a part of
Her character resonated with my own
Feeling an impulse to make a change
So letting out a sigh, I seated beside her
The narrative required a few alterations
A slight shift of perspective on the story
Brought a faint smile of relief on her face
She thanked me for not giving up on her
Making me promise to never turn back
Slowly, I walked away to where I started
Living the same tale with a new ending

The Pinnacle of Triumph
A smooth ascend up the holographic mountains
With every step on a virtual boulder an upliftment
The pinnacle that defines the mirage of purpose
Paving its way in the absence of a precise sequel
Validation, an irresistible drug for happiness
Blinded by clouds of cheers grading the feat
Embracing the brief dependency for delusions
As the clouds dissolve, unveiling the vile reality
Upon reaching the peak, it strangely felt hollow
The hidden mountains slowly transpired to view
Overhead boulders stumble, a knock on the head
Aspirations built on blocks of social approval
Becomes a ceaseless scramble on a rat wheel
Time to descend from the self written fantasy
To endure the struggle to a meritorious victory

Seashells
She lovingly looked at her baby palms
Seashells materialising out of the blue
A tiny cluster of varied shapes and sizes
Every intricate pleat tinted a distinct hue
Her wide eyes twinkled with the thought
A promise mother made the other day
"Momma's gonna make you a necklace
The most beautiful you have ever seen
Only if you collect your favourite shells"
She gathered everything she could see
Her hands could barely take one more
Dawdling to the sea in hope for better
Spotting prettier shells along the way
As the skies changed to its dusky gown
She made up her mind to return home
When a wave dashed towards the shore
Stealing her little collection as she toppled
Looking around, she could spot nothing
"My momma won't be happy with me"
Moving on empty handed and teary eyed
Darkness trying it's best to comfort her
"A huge wave took it from me, momma"
She stood with her hands outstretched
"It's alright my little one, don't be sorry
Look what momma made for my girl"
A dainty necklace made of little seashells
Dangle gracefully, blurry in the candlelight
"Momma picked a few shells on the way
Coz momma loves you no matter what"
A mix of emotions hurled into her mind
As she held it as carefully as possible
A warm embrace is all she could offer
Speechless from the pleasant surprise

Tempest
Pain oozed into the ocean of desolation
Heavy thoughts clogged its flow like oil
A tempest born from waves of self pity
Oared relentlessly in search for a shore
As he bellows in agony, sore from the strain,
The daring waves clash, nearly toppled him
A lone warrior on the battlefield with nature
Questioning the reason for this damnation
Amidst the storm, he noticed a speck faintly
Boats of varied sizes feuding their own war
Some afloat without a sailor
Some sail on a piece of wood
Some dive into their own misery
The truth dawned with painful reassurance
It was the storm to be tamed, never the boat
With realisation flowed a sense of tranquil
Discerning the shadows of a land nearby
Rows to the target with great eagerness
A single step towards the flight of stairs

Metamorphosis
I crawled towards the nearest branch
Bloated and heavy from my final lunch
With a deep breath, I accept the inevitable
Undressed and prepared for meditation
My survival gambled skillfully by nature
My vision gradually blurred out of focus
Only to observe it all vividly from above
Flinched faintly as my insides liquified
Grateful to be exempted from the torment
While doubting my calibre to push through it
The week passed finally, opening my eyes
A sigh of relief in returning to my own self
A new form emerge as I slacken from the old
The wisdom attained from the solitary journey
Felt more rewarding than my colourful wings
So I flutter away to impart everything i gained
Blessing the little cocoons that come my way

A journey
She strode across the dingy street on a rainy day
A bright yellow umbrella hovering over her sad head
Recurring beat of droplets distracted her for a while
As it subdued slowly, thoughts conquered the mind
A sudden urge to overthrow this chaos kicked in
While looking around for a bench by the sidewalk
She shuffled through her bag for the music player
Propping in a earpiece on one side as she settled in
Begun scrolling through playlists for the perfect one
Eventually entering another realm with her eyes shut
Goosebumps crawl as her soul leaves momentarily
Transporting somewhere beyond her body's reach
A circle of warmth revolves, protecting from all harm
Strangely feeling calm in a place never set foot on
She let go her burden, preparing to leave the heavens
The journey concludes, finding herself on the bench
Bewildered from a lifelong trip flashed within minutes
An energy so unreal gushes through her veins
With a power to overcome any hurdle her way
Strolling away with a smile as her life rebirths
Humming away to the tune on a gloomy day

A Puppet Show
Mindless puppets adhering to rules of irrelevance
Fitting to their persona as they sway to the melody
A predictable performance on an unstable ground
The strings controlled by an unseen consciousness
The illusion of comfort curtains the oblivious life
The projected hues accepted without a demur
A round of applause reverberates the platform
Trapdoors open, erasing the short lived delight
Down the puppets sink into the depths of reality
It was all a rehearsal prior to the ultimate show
