From Fame to a Flame

It was like music when it rained.
Pretty amusing when I gained.
Very abusing when it dawned,
That all of it; was a game.
I heard the music when it rained.

I sip on gold, I sip on fame,
My own desires in a frame,
My all emotions in a flame,
I should have known, it wasn’t water when it rained!

I think, I say.
I say, I think.
I was so thoughtful before it came.
And I wanted to dance, when it rained.
I thought you heard.
I called your name.
All my love,
All in vain.
I was so happy when it rained.

Now I am still.
Now I am cold.
I lose all power that I hold.
And now I am desperate.
Now in drain.
I long for that music when it rained.

I fooled myself in the fooling game.
I heard the music when it rained.

Children of the Dark

 Feeding the minds, The innocent minds, Their toxic thoughts To turn them dark. Their poison dipped words And venoms combine, Turn their minds Turn them dark. They are gibberish grandiose; Striking a pose, Spoken in a voice so very deep; Children of the dark fear and weep. Fear my Children, Fear the Dark Lords, They come dressed in light; The light's a cloak. Black is their colour, they are colouring your soul. Biting through your flesh, Turning you cold. Fear my Children, Fear the Dark Lords, They will feast on your flesh, And crush your soul.

The Moon

There’s a Moon above my head and it shines so bright. I stare in amazement and curiosity and delight. I have questions to ask; and I think I might. But when I try to ask, he bids me goodnight. There’s a Moon above my head and it shines so bright. I say, “Mr. Moon, being snooty is not right!” He smiles down at me, for he is polite. He says, “Dear girl, don’t judge me, alright! I have to fight the darkness to shine so bright.” “Oh Moon above my head! Can you sing me a song?” “Because, night is here and far away is the dawn.” So, Moon sings to me, the song of the Sun. The one who lives with desires, but none. There’s a Moon above my head and all his brightness fades. I ask him, “Why?” He says, “Dark shadows invade.” “Slowly each day, by piece I am torn. Only the Sun puts me together and I am reborn.” “Oh Moon above my head! Does the Sun possess all might?” “Dear little one”, he says, “He is the most generous and bright.” “He is a humble giv...

Ambition’s Long Race

To start with, career, ambition, job, promotion, salary hike and high position in any organization, are the requirements of life that take the priority seats and everything else has to travel third class. The competition, from scoring high marks in schools, colleges, to having a successful career, great paying job and high position in a company, is never ending. One never has enough of anything. We always want more. Sometimes want what others have. Sometimes want to build something of our own. And often end up dissatisfied with ourselves, our own hard work, and doubt our own potential. Who and what to blame? The world only recognizes the competitors and achievers. All the others can live in misery and without an identity. So, where is all this competition taking us? To best positions, to best jobs, to best pay scales or most desirable careers? Actually, mostly to a psychiatrist’s chamber or even hospitals. No, not joking or being a pessimist. It is so common these days that young p...
