Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Stepping stones or stumbling blocks,

wondering was I, with careless thoughts.

Fluttered my breath, yearned my heart.

Success is where my eyes are cast.

Waiting for years

with scattered seeds.

Never seen a fruit

as sweet as my effort.

Aimed at sparkling star,

empty hand and nothing so far.

With spirit as high and endless try

made my way to sun and sky.

Nothing could I find

still I’m in ground.

For a hidden reason I thought

strike a light! It wasn't my fault.

Strongest tree is that compelled

to stand in scorching sun and wind.

Surrounded by difficulty

is the island of opportunity.

No reason to cry,

boundless possibility has I.

Through sands of time, I set

the journey to the sweetest fruit.

Blossomed the lovely stars.

'forget us not', they whispers.

The Piano

Breathing but still, as fingers play

The melody lives, as the piano lay.

Sprung the tunes from lifeless keys

Nourished the air with fresh resonance.

The words said and deeds done

Floats in air and yet unseen.

A rhythm in black and white

Percepts in them, the power of alternate.

Grieve and grin, fame and fault,

Darkness of night, streak of light.

All it takes to the judgement day

Is the good and evil, in roles you play

There's more of truth in the human thing

Thousands perished and few unsung.

A messenger of life, you may say

Looking at the world in a musical way!!

The Angel

Like a primrose, she came

The angel of my dream.

Lapped by peace

And twinkling eyes.

Bathed with smiles of glee

Love’s true instinct, had she.

As fair as stars

Was her glance.

With touch of her hand

My wisdom outpoured.

As a silent song, she inherit

My body and spirit.

For wishes to claim

I awaited her, to call my name.

To bless with flowing wealth

Or to crown with health.

Shower with peace and ease

And everlasting grace.

And while I understand and feel

She vanished with a twirl.

Searched for her, but in vain

I wish she comes again.

Down to earth-to bless

Mankind with bliss!!

The Song of Heart

Silence accompanied- beast and bird

The usual dusk with twilight grey

Seemed to her as glimmering world

She waited for her man with gay.

Lingering music in air

Invades her heart

In the soul, it flares

And the pain retreat.

She woed the tardy spring

When fine breeze laps her round

Listening to a lonely song

“Ruthless nature”, she cursed.

On distant rainbow, fell her eye

Looked as if it bent its arm

Down to earth, from the sky

To lift her up and make so warm.

The memories she percepts

The day her heart sprung-when

Wandered as careless lovers

With endless joy and hand in hand.

With thoughts around him

Casting sight on the way

Awaited she, for the heart to chime

And the words to convey!
