Visitors from the netherworld !


He says,
The moon has become bad
He wonders,
The indigo sky looks so sad

Is it mourning the company
of the night, he asks
"Visitors from the netherworld"
At the thought, he stops

He shudders
to see his shadow
he dreads
what if it swallows

He doesnt know
Whether he is alone
And he doesnt want
to know if it isnt so!

Not just his reflection
His mirror seems to show
There is no doubt there is
Another pallid translucent show

A thousand secrets
The wind screams
It is a nightmare
Not his sweet dream!

A safest place
he simply cant find
After all, they are
The demons of his mind!

Specially dedicated to a certain love fish I know :-)

World - A Kaleidoscope?!

On a day in my own world
My own world of infinitesimal space
Space barely enough to bear one
Just one and thats me
Me and my thoughts alone
Alone...So Alone......

The state of bliss didnt last
The last thing I wanted was
Was my soul to start amusing
Amusing at the world it lived in
In the real world - A world crowded
Crowded ... So crowded.....

My soul was chuckling
Chuckling..teasing..knowing
Knowing me so well, it couldnt
Couldnt stop me from my
My wish- A wish insignificant
Insignificant....So insignificant

My heart wishes so hard
Hard it tries to understand all
All on the face of this world
A world of so many colors
Colors some vibrant and some dull
Some dull ...so dull

My soul wants to know
Know if my heart intends to
To capture the hues of the world
The world's colors on a canvas
A canvas so long and so broad
Broad....so broad

My heart says wish it could do
To replicate the scenes of the woods,
Brown woods...Azure seas..white pearls
Pearls some big some small so different
Different shades of the blue sky
The sky..the vast sky

However hard my heart tries
To understand the colors of
People-man,woman and child
It could never fathom and fails
Fails to see their colors changing
Changing...all the time

With obvious calmness in the smile
Smile of an omniscient soul
My soul asked just one question
One question to which I wish
I knew the answer to---
My color...What is my color?
