A SICK SOUL
Gayatri Beria Jan 2019
Lost in the grace of life
I stand still under the silent sky
Wandering through my prosaic sight
Wanna ask,can you heal my sloppy plight?

The hectic hours ignore to halt
I endure for a calm repose
I celebrate 'what I was'
I snap 'who I am now'

Am I lead astray for the magical fame
Or searching for an eternal flame
In the lost hustle and bustle
In the twisted path of stones and hurdles

A sensuous propulsion wades me
Fading my sour secret tears
I close my eyes wearily
In the hope to fight back fear

Yes,my soul is sick,I regret
Still crushing the dark evil thoughts
And rejoicing the singuilarity
In an oasis of serenity.
We should not loose our identity while searching for a place in the world...So,my friends,stay true to yourself

FEAR OF FAILURE
Gayatri Beria Jan 2019
Thinking with a muddled head
I'm gonna to write something
Some questions that take away my ideology

Why I can't get rid of my shy
Why I can't build myself so strong
Why I can't dare to fulfill my dreams

I screech over myself
Am I stuck in a world of cynicism?
Or am I drowning insolently?

Is it fear of my failure?
That dominates peace of my mind
Like a cunning storm,ruining my life

Tears ignore to take a halt
I scream out in silence
Hoping to escape all my fears

But failure is not a sin
Let me overcome my moral scruple
I will touch the sky one day...

PRETTY IS ON THE INSIDE
Gayatri Beria Jun 2020
A beautiful brunette walked by
Jovially down the street
Her son was tugging her jacket
Merrily prancing by her side

Her son had an ugly figure
A black splotchy face and a heavy jaw
Stared by spooky looks
The kid clung to her with a diffident hush

' Your child is ugly '
Hounded these words in insolent tones
But she was intrepid and calm
Didn't mull over their uncanny remarks

Her lips didn't curl in disdain
Nor her hands were wringing in distress
' Inner beauty captivates ' she said
' And a pure soul can only shine '

' A perfect body and a porcelain face
Can never reflect ' the real you '
As rose wilts and crumbles one day
Outer beauty fades , reaching senile stage '

She comforted his insecurities
She taught him the reality
To be comfortable in own skin
'Cause imperfection can't judge perspective

Days passed , child grew older
Still ' ugly ' was striking him constantly
But he would grinned and murmured
Pretty is on the inside !
Unfazed by people's remarks (on her child),a mother teaches the valuable lesson of Inner beauty to her child.

STAY
Gayatri Beria Jul 2019
Sometimes I wish to stop the time
Whenever you are near me
Wanna frame those pretty sight
Your fight, the silly chats overnight

Life was stringing me down
Silence was breaking me inside
Then you came and cut me loose
Braced me up, made me feel secure

All I want you to STAY
Just stay.......forever
Hold my hand and not let go!

Neither I am stingy nor I am clingy
But without you, I am incomplete
My lips are fading my heart is freezing
Oh baby! I am down on my knees

Let's escape from the cacophony
To a town of symphony
Let's sing a song in every breath
A rhapsody for you and me

All I want you to STAY
Just stay.......forever
Hold my hand and not let go!
A love poem❤

BOOKS
Gayatri Beria Apr 2020
Books are the frigate of knowledge
Aid to sail through success
Future looks bleak without them
Empty and crestfallen.

Elegant poetry and thriller stories
Soothe odd glitch with comfort and peace
Completely lost in folded pages
One can drive to wonderland.

I was mediocre at best
Trapped in a sea of ignorance
Books led me through ominous sight
Escorted me to peerless height.

Books are the savior of my feeble mind
Aid to escape from sadness
Always bolster my mind and soul
Dear book ! You are my true friend.
