life springs surprises at you
like a sudden  rainbow magnificence
after a rain that drenched you
and  made to scurry for non existent cover.
some times the glitter you firmly grip
and all the while  thought was  gold
turns out to be a mere carbon block.
will you cry or smile?

-I got the poetry bottle, yesterday
a long day it was,and at the end
I was hoping to get forty winks;
drooping eyes stopped expecting anything.

the setting sun was a blaze
on a dark thicket like cloud,
that reminded me of an ancient omen;
and then,  the waves
washed the bottle ashore
with this piece of poetry
for me, inside
it  cryptically said:
"You won,
I wish to send you
calm tides
followed by a silent night"

I smiled in the dark
did I wait
against all odds
to walk away with
this uncertain trophy
in my hands?
I turned around
and threw it back
in to the agitating waves,
that suddenly felt appeased.
on that moment sun went down
the reign now begins,
Darkness, dear darkness....
