Homage to the peach tree

The unruly wind greets again

Attired with the distant memories

Storming through the deserted tree

Gruesome chillness feeding on its life

The gust of wind unravels memories

Long forgotten with the course of time

Bringing remnants of the blissful past

Flooding my heart with utter despair

The peach tree stands aged and worn out

That once nurtured the vulnerable child

Sheltering her through the harsh storms

Concealing her from the deceptive world

The tree bestowed aesthetic flowers on her

Instilling happiness in her gloomy life

The majestic tree with its huge dimension

Provided shade through the scorching sun

I pay my homage to the peach tree

That accompanied me through all seasons

Whose luscious fruits satisfied my hunger

And with whom I lived in perfect amity

Fateful departure

The sun swiftly climbed up the mountain
Lighting the darkness with its unwavering rays
Yet it did not lighten my gloomy heart
That was bathed in miseries and tears

The clock ticked by heedless to my emotions
Sadly it was time for me to bid farewell 
My bleeding heart pierced by sadness
Had a last glance at my friends

The journey towards here was so silent
But the memories of my bygone days disturbed my mind
Making fresh tears flow out like a river
Impossible to be dried with the bright sun rays.

The empty sky was alive with the visions
Of the moments I spent in my school
And soft breeze whispered in my ears
The laughter I shared with my friends

I entered into this alien place
With drunken thoughts staggering in my mind
Hoping to be freed from the chains of miseries
Turning my shattered thoughts back to joyous.

Betrayal

Beautiful rose I saw

So enchanting and raw

Blooming in the garden of faith

Without any misery nor wrath

Heavenly dewdrops glistening

On the petals in the morning

It whooped with joy

In the dazzling light from the sky

Its sweet fragrance

Has left he beings in trance

The beautiful roses with its art

Has stolen my precious heart

I, stunned by its smile

Have fallen for its deceitful wile

The beauty which I had adorned

Is now left for me to scorn

The awkward prickly thorn

Has left my heart torn

My blood though is washed by rain

But I’m never parted from the pain.

Light in the darkness

In the room of ruin and loss

Covered by the flowerless moss

Lies a bird wounded for ages

Happiness erased from its life’s pages

The knife of remorse has pierced its heart

Forcing its soul to tear apart

The winter seems to stretch on forever

And tears continue to flow like river

Like a leaf detached from the forest

Greediness succeeded in setting it free

The wind of catastrophe blew away its fate

To change its course back, but it is too late

The radiant spirit is crushed by life’s debacles

Making it hard to overcome its obstacles

The wall thus echoes an agonized cry

And broken wings mark its endless try

But amidst the never ending plight

There comes a cheering ray of light

Thrusting its way through the wall

Spreading warmth and hope to all

It drives away the darkness in its life
By providing strength and courage to dive

Towards the ocean of hidden treasures
 Memories of spring bring in all pleasure
