I am a potter
My hands smeared with mud
Shaping the most exquisite vessels
Taking form, from the mud and grime
It takes a caring and guiding hand
The potter’s wheel spinning
To shape the best pottery
Maybe holding water or wine
One provides life, another intoxicates

Too much power
Bestowed on the unworthy
Left power powerless
Going berserk within
And causing havoc outside
Ridiculing the essence of power

Words have resonance
If spoken from the heart
Wakes up another soul
Embracing with warmth
Words are precious
Which can enthuse life

There is an uneasy silence
Among the crowd
You can hear them breathe
And the occasional sighs
They have thronged the streets
Women, men, teenagers and children
The faces with a glare
Eye to eye, challenging the atrocities
Upheaval inside
No one wants to go back
Streets become the stage
Where emotions pour out
Everyone united
With a common cause

Sometimes all the love you give
Is returned with a resounding deceit
Believing all the while, you are the cynosure
Yet, the centripetal force keeps you moving
Apparently, in sync with the lovers heart
When you realize, the asynchronous beats
But words are betraying the innermost deceit
Cracks appear, yet we turn a blind eye
Until it’s too late, when we stare at a wide chasm
All you want is to plunge into the darkness
Emotions run chaotically around the heart
Ripping away the veneer of love
Falsifying all beliefs, redeeming hurt
Eroding away the base of the relationship
It’s all there, in the saga of pseudo love

Tickled senses
Close encounter
Risky pursuit
Playful hearts
Seductive looks
Arousing touch
Ignited passions
Frenzied moves
Strong upheavals
Raised anticipation
Souls entangled
Towards culmination
Deep awakenings

How long have we come
And stopped questioning
Felt helpless without answers
We went on and on
Believing, the way it is
Answers will be revealed
