Water

Love is quite akin to water
Pure, eternal and elemental
Can't live a moment without

It's plain and simple to taste
Hence people flock for wine
Lust drips with intoxication

Else people add sugar to it
Formulating flavored drink
It attracts but doesn't fulfill

We forget it's water we need
It's evil not the pristine pure
Which needs hooks to entice

We have everyone falling ill
For substituting pure water
With its sleek counterparts

But when we do get thirsty
Only water can ever suffice
Bring health and well-being

The Moon and the Cloud

There was a solitary cloud
Adrift in the vast open sky
Who was aloof and bit lost
Drifting on it glanced above

And saw the majestic Moon
Shimmering pure radiance
Cloud got enamoured and
Tried to embrace the Moon

The Moon smiled and said
"Try to hold me if you can"
The cloud tried hard to jump
But couldn't reach the Moon

Finally frustrated the cloud
Drifted far away from there
And tried to forget the Moon
Time passed and it moved on

The cloud slowly gathered
Vapour to expand volume
And one day it was ready
To burst down as rainfall

It fell on parched brown soil
And water gathered to a pool
Cloud was now transformed
To a sparkling clear reservoir

The night came with the Moon
"Look I'm all in your arms now"
Said the Moon as it was reflected
Upon the surface of the reservoir

Whisper

You then whispered
Something to my ear
A message so unclear
Just couldn't decipher

Send me searching
To find the answer
Map the uncharted
Within and beyond

Footsteps

The wind touched me
Bit unwarranted then
The cool gentle touch
Got me craving more

But where to find you
I couldn't find footsteps
Then I glanced up above
And the sky was the clue

The mellow wind revived
Reassuring me that I was
Following the right way
Footsteps leading ahead

Remembering

I looked into my cupboard
Searching for something else
But it was not what I found
Instead I found my old shirt

Which I used to always wear
Numerous years back in time
Adored its color way too much
It felt like my second skin worn

I've grown up, it fits no more
Yet it's far too dear to discard
And sadly I realize that is how 
I feel remembering you now 

Dawn to Dusk

I'm sitting at dusk, recalling dawn
So much passed with me all along

In dawn when Sun had first shone
With enthusiasm, fervently I strode

I failed to notice the cogs in my way
I tripped and got hurt to lurch ahead

Resting upon adjacent foliage shade
I recuperated till I was strong again

Slowly as the Sun rays lost its glare
I was walking again in careful pace

I reached on time to my cozy abode
At dusk, impressions of dawn arose

The world vs me

When younger I thought
The world was so wrong
And I was completely right
But I was so far from truth

I grew older, doubts crept in
World seemed to work well
Maybe I was one mistaken
The mess was just my fault

Now as I mature and wisen
I realize that nothing is right
Nor anything really is wrong
The world just is, and so I am
