Nightmare

In the alley

Fear was my companion

Senses were twisted with the thoughts of distress

Fright of fall muddled with  the twists and turns

Familiar ways

Strange in the fear of nervousness

Anxious mind concerned about chasing shades

Worried thoughts,

Held on to the things on hand

Troubled heart shouted  to run

In the dimness, up there a sharp blade

Is it going through the heart?

Or I was picturing

Couldn’t think of anything

In the surprise I was soaked

Gasping voice shouted comfort

In the middle of the night,

I just smiled

A dream is ended and so am I.

Ego

I am dizzy

But I don’t want someone being sick

I care

But I don’t want anyone’s support

I empathise

But I don’t want someone’s sympathy

I am sad

But I don’t want anyone feeling bad

I whinge

But I don’t want to hear any moaners

I panic

But I don’t want anyone to suffer in terror

I am a good listener

But I don’t want somebody’s advice

I am confident

But I don’t want someone’s approval

I am friendly

But I don’t want to hold back any friends

I am dreamy

But I don’t want someone calling me lovely

I am smart

But I don’t want anyone telling me I’m brainy

I am honest

But I don’t want somebody saying I’m reliable

I am funny

But I don’t want someone to say I’m witty

I am beautiful

But I don’t want anyone’s praise

I am creative

But I don’t want someone’s imagination

I am hard working

But I don’t want someone’s admiration

I smile

But I want to see lots of smiles around

I am rich

But I want to amuse someone ridiculous

I am genuine

But I want to see you pleased with me

I am mad

But you will understand that as you are my friend

Trauma

I can sense you 

You didn’t come for me

I can hear the cries

But not from my family

Being helpless

In their words

I am a ‘cabbage’

And you are roaming around

My mouth is dry

The body is weak

They wrote ‘Nil through mouth’

Thinking, 

that will invite you.

Needles are attached

The sores are painful.

The smell of blood

Is that keeping you away?

I am waiting

Please don’t be late

runny eyes looking for you.

I am waiting only for you.

Migraine

Eyes are flickering
Hunger has vanished
My head is Throbbing
And the migraine is here

The control freak
Is squeezing  hard.
Eyes are blinking with
The power of the brightness

In his presence
He kept me awake.
Whispering voices
fuelled the agony.

In his madness
My will power crumbles
When I dropped
He pulled his charm

In the dimness
I  sketched his portrait
When I found me
I was tired to fight with him

White Lilies

Today if I die,
I will look for you.
With my fairy tales
I will draw you in.
When your keen to listen
I will laugh at you.

On my coffin
I want white lilies,
with their beauty
You will not miss me.
In my sleep
They will comfort you.

I will hate to see you cry.
I love to hear the laughter
and happiness. 
So you promise me. No tears
My time has come.
But you will live on for me.

When I set you free,
Enjoy your freedom.
Look for beauties and
Live your life
As when it is your time
I will wait for you

My Land

Underneath your shadow
I become the little girl
Who runs over you
To get the smell of you

On the rainy days
You spread the aroma
I loved you more
And danced around you

In the cold breeze
When the leaf falls
You looked messed up
And I drew images on you

During the hot days
You made me drained
But in the night
You creepily cooled me down

My heart is aching
To see you again
But from this far
Memories keep us going

Office Phases

Tired eyes telling you to sleep
Coughs and colds wandering around
Spreading bugs to make you sick
Some are pale and sit at home
Others are back with half recovery
Germs are happy
Love your body
Sneezes and runny noses
Looks like Red Nose Day

Aching body screams to stop
Walkers say the next is you
Deafened mind negotiates back
You are sick, unhealthy eater
You eat a sandwich
From a sucker’s hand
Bring your food
You lazy loafer
Eat with pride
And love your body

Drained and dizzy
Hearing your moans
Keep your bugs in your pocket
I am off with workload ahead
Neck is aching
You’re making me sick
I’ve had enough
Listening to you
I mute myself
And so do you

Eclipse

The blues were wrapped
Rosiness coated her
Stillness surrounded
And the eclipse about to start

In the shade she dazzled
Gazed for his presence
Mist was bounded
Hopes were diminished

The vibes were in the air
The dimness shattered
He emerged gradually
And her emotions flooded

In his charisma she twirled
She forgot the rhythm
She poured on to him
He beamed on her insanity

Dolls

The dolls by pools
Beauty and beast
Cheerful and miserable
Countless there
To choose for fun

Curls and curves
Chubby or bony
Huge or tiny
Attract the eyes
And call your name

A doll as a friend
Owner of possession
Bond of fondness
Affection and care
And you are in love with her

Doll of excitement
Dies as you grow
New delights flood
And the forgotten dolls
Wrapped in distress

Amusement and glee
Fun and boredom
Dolls are for sale
Use or abuse
The ones that have will decide.

Lonely Bird

In the sunrise, on my strolls
I was lonely and so were you
I kicked myself in my thoughts
And I saw you alone up there

I wondered why so early
What you’d lost or were you like me
But you were flying against the beauty
And my eyes caught a glimpse of you

Tired feathers showing the burden
What’s in your mind my little birdie
My heart melts for you
And I wish to hold you and say you’re mine.

A lost love or a vanished companion
In your misery count on me   
While the dreams keep us going
Miles are there but we walk together.

Maze Runner

A day that starts with running
Health, wealth or money
Runners are in diverse moods
In the maze, you can see faces

With power and strength
Some snatch their own happiness
A bunch just want fun
And they create joy with friends

Entertainers do their magic
Amusement pleases the runners
Some may get lost in the maze
Tears or tiredness, running for relief

Worn out runners hug the night
Dreamers analyse the ways of success
Performers probe the ways
To create Love in the maze

Restlessness

With the sudden tightness I squeezed myself
The burning sensation made me restless
Shadows frightened in the darkness
And the screams echoed inside

The teardrops didn't make a fuss
But the pillows rumbled on each pinch
The bed creaked with discomfort
And I ignored their murmurs for my ease

The music was loud to enhance the mind
Noises of ghosts troubled around me
My ears were sealed to listen to melodies
And my eyes were blind to see empathy

I started loving the pain that shielded my bosom
The smile on me embraced the new visitor
I danced to the beats that I found
And the stage was empty to make a symphony

Sun Flower Love

Me and him
I am the follower
And he laughed at me
Teased me and called me crazy

He exposed his lovers
Told stories of his past
I watched him
He turned a blind eye on me

As he hid in shadows
I waited for him to come out
Through his anger he sent a hot flush
In his strength he covered me in blues

But my love for him is saintly
He can act like he doesn’t know me
My smiles will depend upon his ups and downs
I am the sunflower and he is my sun
