340.My Story

Each day 
Happens to be doomsday 
If  I fail to seek
Your trustworthy help.

Each hour
Feels like a century
Filled with void and emptiness
Without your guidance.

Each minute
When sadness engulfs
Threatening to crush and crumble me
Faith in you maintains my sanity .

Each second
I am in the midst
Of a cyclone if I deviate
From the path shown by you.

Each moment
At your feet my Lord
Lies my embodiment of hope
As time scribbles my story.

339.Illusions

Many  a rosy picture paints illusion
Blurring our foresight
With its false vision.

It follows us on Seas and meadows
Making us believe
It is as true as our shadow.

Unsuspecting we hurl ourself
Into its well laid trap
Lured by the candid vision.

Till it's too late
To walk out unscatched
From its burning pit.

It churns us in it cauldron
Making thick soup of our limbs
Till we are unable to climb out.

Illusion smiles a wicked smile
In its Web we remain entangled
Scumbing to Illusions vicious whims.

338.Will I survive?

Innumerable togetherness
The gift of understanding
The bond we share
Brings a lump to my throat.

The air I breathe
Smells of your presence.
I cherish each moment
With my eyes open and close.

I wonder each day
Will I survive
If you vanish
Before I do?

337. Cracking

Cracking crude crevices
Ruining ruled  remittances
Rummaging ruffling rife
Lewd life lull.

336.From Dusk to Dawn

Ah!  What a day it will be

When humans will beat the summer heat

And stop perspiring profusely
By reversing their timetable
From Dusk to Dawn. 

Work and leisure
Will of course remain

The working hours 
Will however interchange
From Dawn to Dusk. 


Chirp of birds will signal sleep
Star lit night will make us glee
Dazzling moonbeam will show us way
As we rise to start our day
From Dusk to Dawn.

With gleaming eyes and faces bright
Children will turn up in schools
To Study in the hours cool
And play games with delight
From Dusk to Dawn.

Demand for AC and coolers will dwindle slightly
Cooking will once again be a pleasure
Swimming in moonlit pools will be heavenly
In work we will find leisure
From Dusk to Dawn.

Seeing the humans snore
Wild cats,reptiles zebras and boars
May venture out of the jungles in scores
To check our development daily
From Dawn to Dusk.


So, relax and enjoy the view 
If you happen to see
Friends from the wild
Walking fearlessly in your garden and streets
From Dusk to Dawn.

Ah! Indeed it will be a historic day 

When amendments will be made 
In the regulation of A.M, P.M
With the rise in global warming

From Dawn  to Dusk.

335.Windfall gain

The secret was her's

Buried permanently;

She had conceived 

And received

A priceless gift

To call her own

Without ever measuring 

The windfall gain.

Destiny had a different plan

Blood soaked petticoat 

Mocked her loss

Pain numbed her 

Yet lips remained sealed

It never revealed 

The sordid state 

It went through.

She jealously

Guarded her privacy

Without expecting

Any understanding,

Pity and sympathy.

In the tower of loneliness

She relived every moment

It was her Windfall gain.

334.Emergency

Lined up at emergency

Searching for hope

Life does zip pass

Mocking each breath. 

The battle for survival

Moves in frenzied  swirls

While the fortunate click

Gracing different shows. 

Emergency emerges 

Engulfing eloquent etiquettes

Placid parity paces 

Show goes on and on.
