So many words
Stitched with finery
Fine attire crafted
With feelings close to heart
The soul once lay bare
Now clad with intricate fabric
Richly woven
With fine craftsmanship
Fashionable for every season
It’s your own creation
With the language of your heart
Cloak of eloquence
In the poetry you write

Words penned centuries ago
Comes alive each time we read
Taking us back to that moment
Holding hand of those words
And time travelling to the past era
Showing us vivid imageries
Of what the writer has gone through
Inspirations, triumphs, failures, heartbreaks
Solitude, travels and an insight to his world
Connecting with the soul
Through the words penned in indelible ink
Each page, a revelation
Still living in words and within the pages
Faint heartbeat of the distant past
Reverberates in each composition
Immortal through the words
And still holding the rich legacy
Antique words, relevant even today

When your thoughts are free
Independent of the outside world
When it does not clash with words
Of the so commonly spoken
For you have found you own to ponder
And language transcends invisible boundaries
Where your vision goes beyond
To the world where there is responsibility
And courage is in dealing with freedom
Where the heart beats freely
Deep within, the soul revels in peace
Believing, there’s nothing holding you back
Let freedom take wings
And take this message everywhere

We have forgotten the original story
While writing so many versions of our own
With the pen that faltered
And the ink which created blemishes over paper
Creating only caricatures of the true beauty
Which we cannot emulate

Shed some light
On the deepest corners of the mind
So many thoughts still in darkness
Not being acknowledged
For fear of being misunderstood
Injustice meted out to them
Maybe those thoughts
Can transform the present
Give them a chance
And realize what lies within

The lining of clouds
Smeared in liquid gold
Vast blue is in delight
Waiting for us to dream big
And reach for the skies
With wings of our dreams
Treasures between blue n white
