Sketches that look beautiful
And some that are painful
But few,  more colourful
And some meaning full
Stay stored in patterns
For view as in museum
But only... For self view!!

Pain inducing sketches
That had torn my heart
Would find their place in thrash
Replaced with blankness...
How I wish.....if i could  redraw!!

Then, why should I pile up in mind
The unpleasant and undesired
Sketches and frames ????
Shouldn't I erase it all
And let my mind free ???
Yes......here i do it !!!

Tiny trots with little hearts
With many a dreams
But with fear for life  
Begging before Almighty !!

Sounds of strikes
From air to heart
With their  world around
falling  apart in pain !!

Thousands rendered homeless
And many others  lifeless
Why the world is in a silence ??
Leaving them helpless !!..

Lord!! With folded hands I pray
May humanity be protected
From all tormenting threats
And
For peace and happiness to prevail!!

Feathers of colours
Green, red and white
Like a bundle of flowers
I hold him in my hands
And he always feels cozy ...

At times  sits on my  head
And dances to the music
Heard...
Crooning his way all along
Expressing.....he is happy!!

When my face is dull
Changes his face to look sad
Pecking me with his tiny beaks
Makes me feel....he is there !!

It's a beauty to see him fly
But rarely is it's happening
He walks with his tiny legs
Preening at every step....

Beauty is his identity
While his claws sets his class
He is my feathery friend
My Rio......!!!

My fights with you
Is my fight for you
For your love for me
For the love I have for you
For it's only you
For me to love and fight
And both of these , with you
Just makes me go crazy !!

Remembering  those days
Of  easy breezy walks to college
Fitting into different colored dresses
That matched with variety hair styles
But face looking  still the same…..

Walked happily and smiling broadly
At faces grinning as well frowning
Talking boldly to some 
And to few remaining mum

Meeting friends on paths
And passing comments at large
Yet walking happily together
With a song in heart…….

It’ was a lively walk….
And now a nostalgic walk!

Chirping voice of  gleeful birds
Broke my  fretful  thoughts
And as I gazed at them in wonder
To see their happy ways
Little smile carved in
Ousting glumness from my face
To refill my mind again with questions!!

Did the birds sing to me
To join in their song?
By leaving my worries
And move forward weightless
With no burden of fear and tear
And face on spot anything graciously!!

For there exists forever for everyone
The sky and Earth !!
