"Be Yourself"


A closed box
Stifled breaths
Grabbing holds
A very restless mind...

Lock it someday
Drop it from the highest peak.

You were once a swimmer newborn
dive deep in the soothing turquoise,
Quench the child in you
blow the dandelion,
Immerse in the melody of nature
stomp on the fall-leaves,
Move the inflexible do the difficult
dance on your favorite tune,
Throw away the glooms
dress up in Saffron-Orange,
Let the Earth be your piano
wear the symphony of anklets,
Dry the tears in your eyes
Adorn them with the deep of kohl.

...Yes, for once "Be Yourself"
Today, let the mask drop
let the truth reign
let the soul be free!


This poem is written for the Poets on the Page's first prompt-January 2016. It was to explore yourself, un-become what you are not, drop everything that isn't you and embrace the real you.

Day 75: A colorful world


Its a colorful word
simple yet so charming
the world of kids
mundane to us but treasure to the little ones.

My heart gallops when 
my baby plays with water in little glasses
in her baby kitchen set.
My heart draws images of happiness when
my baby plays with crayons
and scribbles something she calls flowers.
My heart sticks to joys unbound when
my baby plays with stickers
and she is so possessive about them.

Toys, stickers, candies
choclates, water tub, bath ducks,
cartoons, books
all these are your world baby,
I am so mesmerized to see you
content with a world of your own...
such a colorful & happy world....
