Paradigm

I
am floating
in the crimson sea
of an emerald love.

You
are watching me
from under an azure sky
standing afar on the tawny shore.

I,
in a trance
swim across to you,
mesmerised by your beacon.

You
take me by the hand
and lead me along a road
stretched under a green canopy.

We
are homeward bound,
Leaving our unfading footprints,
On the asphalt of time,
For the posterity to follow.

Peace and I.

The Retreat

The night's foggy veil
Was shredded
By her intermittent wail.
Her tear soaked rendition
From the mountain foot
Wafted to touch the heaven.

From the foliage, a bird unknown,
Rendered the sky, storm torn.

The morning peeks
To take in the vision
Of the trees and peaks
Draped in downy flakes
And  blossoms fatigued,
After the winter's fashion..

If only it was the cuckoo,
Then Spring would do well to,
Conspire with the rainbow,
The powdery shroud be smeared
With varied,not just one hue...but,
All that the sky wears after the pour.

The veil is yet to lift,
For, the lazy Sun,
Is not swift on it's feet.
However, not long,
Before it comes undone.

Not in a too distant time, later,
The spring and the summer,
Will come dancing along,
To the tune of their joyous song.

How could the Sun not come alive?
And with them, break into a jive?,
Then,where'd the fog and mist hide?
On what gloom would they thrive?
                                                  Chandni.

Partners

Together they have worked their way through their past.At present, all that they do,  at their leisure, is look at their future, making their way to the place they have already been to.They are happy to be their mentors.They have been partners.....through time!

Hope

The wheels of time rolled on to set the chariot of life in motion. The rest is history.....of the birth of a great civilization called humanity.Unfortunately, it has not been able to shed the darkness of the womb that had borne it for so long. Now,enlightenment waits to embrace it.All that is required is for wisdom to drive it towatds it's destination. History can't wait to be rewritten.High time!

The Murderer

Like all other mornings,I walked past his cell just when the muezzin was heard over the public address system,expecting to see the familiar sight of him kneeling on his prayer mat.But this morning when I didn't see him in his usual position,I wondered why! When I peered into his cell,I knew why.He was a free man now.
     In his otherwise empty diary,all that was written was, "For the love of God,I couldn't let them take my mother away for killing my father, to save me from being killed!"
                                                     Chandni.

Irrational

They peeped from behind the blinds in their hideout,watching their house being vandalised by those who've always been like their family.But now they were their enemies....because suddenly they realised that they didn't belong with them.
     Not fear,but the shock of witnessing the hatred burning in those eyes that'd once twinkled with affection,rendered them mute.The younger brother couldn't hold back a sob.It was enough to give away their hideout.The door was flung open.They turned around.What met their eyes,was the last thing they ever saw....just as well!
