Free Life
Gone are the days of confessions
Now the sky is bright
The love cradle sings a sweet lullaby
The music I hear is my anticipation
For the melodious tomorrow.
How simple is the poetry of soul and
The flowing cascades of light of the moon
Treasures happiness unexpressed.
The flower of every new words
Weaves a garland to cherish.
The garden stroll is a walk of faith
Every color drench the heart in desire
The raindrops teach a sheltering body to be free.
Every gust of fresh wind rising from the soil
Teaches a lesson of belongingness.
I build staircases to firmament
I weave a story of countless stars
That is told and heard for ages
Before someone repents for the umpteen times.
Life is a flower vase
In its spray of wafting promises.
***
Good and Bad Times
Time has been my friend
I fought with it
To win the battle of my ideal.
Weak and frail,
The azure and starlit,
Counted and countless.
On a positive note
Life has been a melody.
There is an inner peace
Settling with the complexities
My contemplation is not your ill ease
I am for the depth of the ocean
I quickly settle for the eternity
When my limitless desire weaves
Breathless symphonies.
Come let’s rejoice in the thought and  Â
Shake the hands of fortune.
The world is a goodwill carpet
Where footsteps mark
The walks of resolution.
The negative inclinations are
Accepted to learn further.
