RAIN

Yesterday was a good day to rain

For it hid away my pain;

As the tears were camouflaged by the rain drops

The rain certainly acted as a nice prop.

 

Soaked in all its glory

Wishing there was someone

with whom I can share my story;

As expected,no one came

Which is truly a shame;

To some,it may all seem lame

But, I just wanted someone

to lovingly call my name.

 

If nothing else,the rain did wash away all my false hope

No one is there for you when you are walking a treacherous slope;

But still grateful that it did rain

As I certainly had something to gain.

 

Slowly, it started to clean my sorrows

Reiterated to my soul,that in need,love and care you can’t borrow;

Remember to just be there for yourself

After the rain, the sun will again shine tomorrow.

 

GEM

For you the words were written 

By your beauty, I was smitten

It was definitely the love bug

by which I was bitten;

 

The ink spilled itself onto the page

Framing lines on your beauty as I could gauge

Asking me to give them a writer’s stage;

 

But, it didn’t matter as you couldn’t read them

It was just another scribble from a writer’s pen

For till you don’t read my poems,they don’t become a gem. 

DREAM

Dream a little more

Life’s beauty you must adore;

 

With yourself,keep a positive score

Your outlook on life will either make it fun or a bore

With people’s feelings,don’t be so sore;

 

Live life to the fullest and enjoy it to the core

You just have to dream a little more.

 

BOOK OF LIFE

You are the author of your own book

Writing chapters of your life in a cozy little nook;

Your book of life should be your best-selling work

Never should you shy away from it and shirk;

 

The past chapters can’t be undone

For you to write, new chapters are a tonne;

Just remember to learn from your past writings

Imbibe from previous teachings and script history with love and lighting;

 

At the end of the day,

be proud to display your book at the book shelf;

Make sure it’s the one you keep reaching for,

to satisfy your soul and self ;

 

Bookmark the chapters you want to relive again 

Skip the chapters which bring you pain;

There’s only wisdom for you to gain

Just remember, there’s sunshine waiting after rain;

 

Someday, you’ll leave your book behind,

for the world to read

Maybe, it can act as a guiding light,

for someone in need. 

HOPE

Hope is all that is left

Under the rug,the tears are swept;

Wish those who hurt us realize their mistake

And,love gives us a second chance like another movie take.

 

JUDGING THE JUDGEMENTAL

Some people are too keen to highlight

others’ imperfections and flaws

Always ready to attack with their open claws;

They drive sadistic  pleasure by bringing them down

Project their own insecurities onto others to make them frown;

They seem to forget one thing which is fundamental

If you judge us,it’s all too easy for us to judge the judgemental;

But,unlike them,overlooking their own imperfections

 having bruised egos and being full of themselves

Let us choose to be more kind,empathetic and love ourselves.

RAINBOW

We are all different colors

of the same rainbow

Every color has a unique sheen and show;

If a color loses its place and form

The rainbow wouldn’t be complete

and lose its charm.
