On forlorn shores I stood
staring
Remembering the memories
of bygone days
The bewildering gaze,
The triumphant ways…
Where have they escaped
to?
I wonder, sometimes…
In fact, a lot of times!
These years have rolled
on seamlessly
Times you looked at the
sky, times you stared at the fruits
Times when every little
leaf was a delight for your eyes
Picking up unimportant
strands of strangest things from the road,
A reason to walk with a
song on toward!
Now the stranger lurks
beneath the garb
Watchful of every…His and
hisses
Looking at life with
distaste
He casts a shadow along
the pathway of waste.
The bewilderment is still
at large
It paints a picture loud,
but stark
With arrows that pierce
the heart
The simple humming of a
sky Lark
Notwithstanding
these are shadow talks
Little
they add to enjoy the walks…
And,
somewhere a voice still balks
Of
stares filled with raging mocks
Coiled
up in the cocooned shell
A
crab falls and then gets up well
His
only continuous moves
Are
to be ahead of his grooves
With
claws intact, it swirled the pave
A
thin crust of bread it craved
Alas,
the bread was stolen straight
By
the mighty Eagle out to slay
The
Eagle missed the crab by choice
It
sought for something in turquoise
The
bread crumb was covered in it
The
residues of Potassium Permaganit
It
gobbled it in one single gulp
Straight
through its piped pulp
The
potent mix took its turn
The
Eagle had the pain borne
Dropped
dead from far above
Straight
to the crab’s love
He
thought the treat will be good
Every
nibble will be best understood
And
nature played its game quite well
That shouldn't surprise, nature’s known to swell
With
mighty leaps and subtle moves
Time
travels in caressed grooves
Karma
– She’s a double edged sword
Never
will she let anyone be forgot
Her
reach reaches in to realms unknown
The
cosmos churns from her ethereal curls.
