Crayons

The box of crayons
At the table corner
Kept staring at me
Under a coat of dust

Unused for so long
Yet safely displayed
For an inspired day
To scale up dreams

Colors black and red
Overused, barely stay
The blues and greens
Can fill up the palette

My old box of crayons
I had saved for today
A bright autumn day
To scale dreams again

The last night

What if it's the last night?
Last dream before I wake
Final mist to cover dawn
But we never said goodbye

It's ok, dreams will haunt
Creaking doors announce
The wind not you're back
And thus we'll never part

Yes it's the very last night
Last dream before awake
Last fog to mask the dawn
We'll meet other side next

A dream

I saw a dream last night
Something so unforeseen
Beyond all I felt or knew

I woke up in your arms
We're actually together
Living lives intertwined

There's laughter and joy
Not all the running away
From our trivial miseries

But I awoke just too soon
It's the wine I'd gulped up
Last night coursing veins

But beautiful dream it was
None the less, nor bit more
A silver lining briefly seen

I don't care

I wonder if you 
Wouldn't mind
If I'd be truthful

It's just a fact that
I really don't care
What goes around

As long as my own
Wants are fulfilled
Let the world burn

But how can a poet
A sensitive artiste
Be so hypocritical

But really I'm not
Because I just don't
Care even a tiny bit

Outside world burns
Many beings starve
I clean my own room

Everyday I do die within
Just as our world burns
Since I really don't care

Darn the unfair world
Gimme my buttered loaf
I have traded my soul

Hello life

Hello life here we are again

Face to face just by ourselves

No longer sulking at corner

Lets sit by and have a chat

So how have you been?

My dear, one true friend

Did you lose your way?

Drifted away in bylanes

I'm with you vital life

Although not reliable

You can count me in

For free condolence

But are you now ready?

To take a step beyond

Leave behind the trace

What dragged so long

But no life not so yet

No matter how much

You try we still haven't

Closed the untied ends

Falling softly

I've always been falling so hard
Now I'm learning to fall softly

I'd hit myself and hurt so badly
Blamed others for pushing me

But that was not really the case
It's just that I'm a late learner

While others started to run races
I still crawled behind failingly

And every time I tried to get up 
With bit support from someone

I fell and things fell apart sadly
I blamed the support aiding me

But now after so much tumbling
I'm learning now to fall softly

Learning to accept pain boldly
To move on till I walk normally

Am I?

Am I an tiny little ant?
Crawling up a globe
Desiring the hidden
Stack of sugar cubes?

Am I a hippopotamus?
Smug wading in mud
Without any darn care
Impending extinction?

Am I that creepy spider
Building up a lovely net
Trapping whatever I can
For few morsels of food?

Am I a penguin at the pole?
Dressed elegantly partying
Even as the ice-caps melt
Dreaming a placid heaven?

Or am I a mere human?
Ever so lost and confused
Nothing will ever suffice
Desiring everything new
