A walk with the moon

Heaven's drops were falling from hell; a storm
It wasn't like dog and cat fight; but more than it
I procrastinated wayfaring as long as possible
Clouds were merging faster, it seemed absurd

I squandered all the day by abiding over here
When I came near the window; I realized shade
I had been waiting to see dimness? I perplexed
I perceived a silence in-between these darkness

I initiated my expedition, reluctantly, it drizzled
I wandered relentlessly; It was just me and Owl
Stars were fading away, waterlogged all the way
I just followed the path where my feet led me

I drenched; all the delirious clouds parted away
I felt a few drops of rain on underneath of my heel;
I visualized a vivid beam, a lonely splendour smile
That smile in the water-log; shined like a diamond

As an intruder, it followed the impression of foot
She often giggled at me in a sarcastic manner
Whenever I turned around, she laughed; ran away
She used her blanket; whenever she felt my presence.

I stared, I smiled, It led to an abstruse occasion
I focused on walking, She pushed her blanket away
She pursued me all the way, where-ever I went
It was like playing "Hide and seek" till the dawn

Emerging of dawn resulted in separation of  us
My perpetual mind again led to an uncanny state
It was just me and her, she was mine for a little while.
She left her smile to  me and she faded away
            "A walk with moon"

Shadows of time

Neha alighted from the school bus and ran toward her home. She didn't carry any excitement rather than a bitter smile on her face. Neha was stepping into home. Meanwhile, she eyed her mom, Arti, who was waiting for her daughter's arrival near porch of her house. Arti interrupted her way, Neha looked her with a solemn face. Without a word,  Neha marched into living room and kept the school bag dangled on her shoulder. Arti pursued her daughter and exclaimed, "Do you want milk or coffee?". Neha nodded, "no". Neha started to do her home work. She didn't go outside for playing like most children of her age. The whole house was overshadowed by pindrop silence until incessant ringing of doorbell.

Neha heard the clatter of footsteps, a man with a grave face and trimmed beard entered into her room. Neha pounced toward her father, Raju. After a deep struggle, she finally queried, "Where is chocolate?" with an excitation in her eyes. Raju replied, "I gave it to your mom, go and grab it". Neha tilted her head to and fro, tediously tried to answer her dad, but it lasted longer than normal, and gestured, "No, I dont want". Neha ripped off the smile from her dad's face. Raju diverted Neha's attention, by inquiring about her birthday dress and she started to strive again. Neha was affected by a speech disorder which often stammered her voice called stuttering. It caused a major split in relationship between mom and daughter. Arti swallowed, as she looked downward a little and her eyes were misting up with tears. Like every mom and daughter, Arti and Neha had a splendid relationship till she started to talk.

It was one of the summer holidays, Neha was playing with the kids around her home. On that time all kids were singing, it wasn't a singing competition but they were squandering their time. Finally, it was Neha's turn, she came flauntingly to lend her voice but she wasn't able to sing like her rivals. In the intervening time, the neighbours and their kids were deriding Neha . The aggravated Arti came to rescue her daughter. Arti beat Neha  and yelled, "don't come here to play, see? everyone is laughing at us because of you". From that day onwards, Neha misinterpreted that her mom hated and ashamed of her. After that day, Arti had approached her daughter countless time but her words din't heal the broken heart of benevolent soul. Arti refreshed the memories while she was watching all the conversation between her husband and daughter. Sooner, they had supper and went to bed.

A week passed, two days before Neha's birthday. On that day, Neha saw a news about a girl who was burnt by her mom. That news alleged that young girl who was affected by speech disorder and that girl's mom was ashamed of it, so she tried to kill her daughter. Neha was dazed by the news aired on television and the fear about her mom became thrice as before. She went to school but her mind was revolving around the incident and often scared her mom would do like it. When she returned to home, she maintained quietness and was waiting for her dad, Raju. When the time Raju came home, he told Neha, "Tomorrow, I'll the buy your birthday dress with your mom". Neha uttered, "okay" but she didn't reveal about her fear. Everyone went to sleep

The day before her birthday, Neha went to school but her thoughts were always spinning about the incident. Raju took leave and came in noon, as he planned to go for shopping. Raju and Arti went shopping to buy dresses for her birthday. They purchased all the things for in order to celebrate Neha's birthday. After some hours, they returned to home but they didn't find her daughter in home. Meanwhile, Raju's landline phone was ringing and Arti attended the call, the one on the other side told her, "Neha fell down the stairs" and ended the call.

The next day, Neha opened her eyes in a hospital where she was accompanied by her father. She didn't notice her mom, Arti wasn't around nearby as like she expected. She sensed something in her lip. She let her tongue swipe over her lip and licked. She felt something salty. When she looked up, she realized she was lying on her mother's lap. Tears were rolling out from her mom's eyes. Neha finally envisioned her mother's love. She was weeping along with her mother. Neha still had some tears to shed between life flashed before her eyes. She was realizing her mom's affection,  Neha's eyelids were forced her to close permanently. Neha breathed her last minutes in her mom's lap. The time when Neha was with her mom she didn't realize her mom's affection. Whenever realized her mistake she wasn't with her mom. Shadows of time..

Unfilled !

The childhood has past!

The adloensence has gone!

And the adulthood is here....

But the desire for a happiness and serene

I meant to fill in my life remains unfilled.

I have spent my days tying and untying the notches of sorrow    
 

The future is but a figment!


*I have written this one after I was inspired by a poetry.

Gloominess !

I talked...
www.imkannan.in
Gloominess
Conversely, I felt a silence much deeper
than ocean 
I smiled...
It was an illusion, happiness was only in
my lips
I cried...
Though it didn't bring tears to my eyes
I sang...
Most of the times, it was my disguise
I wrote...
I always forgot to mention what I want 
to do.
I breathed...
Every minute, my heart skipped a beat
I drenched...
Despite, I didn't walk along with rain
I prayed...
I didn't ask for a auspicious time in life
I dreamt...
In the middle of the night, It always end
-ed with a nightmare 
I lived... 
I walked through the field of thorns and
bushes.
Though...
Tomorrow is the only aspiration and hope.

Life of the altruistic soul !

Posted by Kannan B On Saturday, September 01, 2012 0 comments
The darkness tries to show its dominance
You quash the intrigue of darkness; spread joys

By shimmering and sparking, you lead the serenity
You illuminate the fear of  veracious eyes

You're willing to sacrifice your life for anyone's wish
Thou you don't allow someone to wipe the tears

Altruistically, immolate yourself; forfeit the life 
                                                         by flickering
You enlighten the path of plentiful ferocious minds

Let my heart have the virtue like you own
I vow to awaken the life of infinite souls

I'm in awe of your bounteous and feracious lives
I adore you and feel envy at your altruistic deeds

Butterfly O Butterfly

Posted by Kannan B On Saturday, August 11, 2012 5 comments
You soar up in the crisp sky, don't you fall 
Who teaches you to flutter along with clouds
It's queer; how you look so flamboyant and
Butterfly
Seems you grasp it from the rainbow in the sky

Without any qualms; everyday you encircle inbet us
Perhaps, cause we have grown up in the same passion
We begin our life by nourishing days and nights
Then we start to grow, immaturely we face the realistic world

Butterfly little flutter-by fly, to whom do you belong
Thou you're close to us, still there is distance
Everyone is infatuated with you and try to acquire
You never fail to leave a flawless smile in the end

Butterfly O Butterfly, let you give me a promise
You will travel miles before you rest,
You ought to rejoice the innumerable melancholy eyes
You have miles to fly before you sleep.

Gloaming !

White pelette dissipates over the blue field, 
The darkness strengthens its dimension; 
Fishes imminent, sounds of humming everywhere; 
Unforeseen, black dots cover the blue field, 
followed by cool breeze, toddlers watch it weirdly,
she appears and mimics a lucrative smile to pacify me.
