The Blue Sky

 In the days of immemorial yore

The sky was radiant with colours galore


Violets and reds; shimmering golden

Greens of the seas; a little yellow stolen


Glistening with reflections of milieu

Amassing laughter, every fresh hue


One day, red walked away; lost

A friendship had swiftly turned to dust


Ensuing, the green slowly faded away

A dream had turned a bitter runaway


Love left today, and took joy along 

The yellow followed too; it didn't belong


One by one, the colours slovenly left

Tearful sky watching, thoughts adrift


"It rains when you're sad, did you know?

Oh look, at the horizon. It's a rainbow!"


Sky watched aflame, lustrous arch agleam

Colours, now memories on mind's seams


The sky simpered solemn, at his expanse blue

"Can't you see, love! Now it's all just you"


Shades of yourself, brilliant and aglow

And they're always close- memories and rainbows

A Hundred Thousand Steps

 And just like that  It's ten years back  And the muscles of my heart remember One step forward, two steps back The mirrors. The reflections. The cracks One step forward, two steps back The eyelids that quiver The thoughts that shiver The heart that pounds in your back It's ten years back Run away, I hear Don't face it, you know what's on the other side It grasps me, the fear Run away, don't face it. You'll always have to hide It takes one moment of courage To change your story One push of a button One closed door now open After a hundred thousand steps It's ten years back And I'm walking on the other forked road The muscles of my heart still remember The eyelids still quiver  Two steps forward, one step back But now I know I have my back.

Let it Set

 It burns your heart Doesn't it? The setting sun The rust and honey Piercing The last rays Memories gilding Let it set, honey Cause a little darkness Don't pull it up again Let it set, honey Let this one set  For another to rise
