Disappointment

The more I run away from it,
The more it runs after me,
The faster I run,
the faster it dawns upon me,
The faster it dawns upon me that I can run,I can hide but it will still catch me,
Run after me till my heart is ripped apart,
Till my soul is torn away,
Till my consciousness deserts me.
I cannot help but marvel at its strength,its vigour, its determination,
And wish that I'd have the same amount of courage,the charisma and the capability,
To run after what I wanted,what I needed,what I desired,
I wish I'd have the capability to withhold the passion I held not so long ago,
Not so long ago when I was determined,determined to have what I wanted,
Rather than accept what was given to me.

Freedom

I stood there.I just stood there,
Gazing every little thing and gauging the nothingness of it all,
They didn't stop it,but I did,I stopped breathing,
Constantly suffocated with the pressure of caring,
Caring about what they think,bothering about what they do,
Thinking about what they feel,
I freed myself,from those strangles of loneliness,
From the pangs of agony,
From the impenetrable,incessant mood swings,
I stopped being what I was and what I am not,
but can never be,
I ceased to think what they think,
I ceased to think what I need to be,
But rather,what I should be.

Rain

I stretched, and they stepped,
They stepped on my seething hand gently,like petite ballerinas
Doing their little routine,as if trying to cheer me up,
They did twists,turns and tired themselves,
Pouring ice cold water on a perennial brook of fire,
and putting it out,for a while,
They happily stomped on the ground making psychedelic patterns,
Making my soul mellow with sheer pleasure,
She dashed onto my feverish,pale face,
Giving me the best cure of all time,
She shook them with pleasing vivacity ,
That made one dance with joy and sheer rebellion,
Now if only she visited everyday,
Than once in a blue moon.

Mother

After many years I felt like getting lost in the comfort of her lap,
After  distancing myself for eons,I felt like getting lost in the fragrance of her bosom,
After scampering  hither and thither to strangers,I felt like coming back to her,
After staying awake forever,I felt like sleeping for an eternity,
Constantly running after solitude,I ended up smothering her with words,
After wallowing in annoyance,I prayed silently ,thanked God for her every word,
After dreaming about cornering the world,
I started revolving around her,
After swaying like a pendulum,
I became still,like a dream.
