Captivate

Beside the limitless ocean;

Beneath the wild blue canvas

A bliss so right to stroll along the shore

Just a moment, a pleasure

And a wonder to befriend

Beside the limitless ocean;

Beneath the wild blue canvas

Was a time when

Horizons weren't illusions;

Oceans weren't mysterious

Even after a zillion occurrence

Fascination never ends

To watch each wave break at sight-

Often a gentle kiss

Occasionally a grave misfortune

Beside the limitless ocean;

Beneath the wild blue canvas

A bliss so right to stroll along the shore

With every step, a trail left behind

And with every trail- a memory, a misery,

Tender grace of bygone days!

With its roar, expanse and abyss

With its might and majesty

You just can't stop loving the ocean, can you?

Be My Sunshine, Will You?

Remember the summers stolen a glance,

I would toddle holding your gentle hands.

And the winters washed in a tide,

I would cuddle by your side.

Stories of childhood left to cherish-

princess, bears, lions, fairies and like.

Why couldn’t the heavens wait,

Just a little longer?

Just so I could listen to those stories one more time;

Just so you could feed me one more bite;

Just a day, for your little prayer to lighten my way;

Just a graceful smile, to brighten my day!

What should I give in return?

To have you with me for one more dawn

To hug you tight; to say, ‘Be my sunshine’

To kiss your soft wrinkled cheeks,

To see tears of joy shine in your eyes,

To truly feel complete with you in sight.

Nevertheless, yours has been a long journey

Filled with patience, perseverance and faith

Bless the places where you spread warmth and care

Now, rest in peace and be proud of the legacy left to share

I might not BE like you

But I hope, you will love me too.

Thank you for being reason

I still hope for life after death

Just so I could say, ‘Be my sunshine’- one more time!

Pandora's box is real

Every principle, rule and norm

Was forced down my throat;

Before my mind learnt its form.

Every what-if and every why

was silenced before learnt to talk!

Every discipline, tradition and law 

Is settled;

Leaving nothing to debate.

Everything respectful and reverent

was meant to be obeyed!

 

Everything absurd and unknown 

Should remain so;

Probably a curse to explore more.

The myth of Pandora's box is true

was believed with unflinching faith

Pandora's box is real 

I still believe!

Unraveling the darkest mystery 

Will throw away everything;

the good, bad and ugly

While HOPE will still remain
