Sky
5:05pm
the sky is confused
the clouds are a blend
of orange and red
yellow and violets
what a moody creation


8:17pm
the sky can no longer hold it, i guess
lightning strikes everywhere
and thunder trembles here and there
the sky is crying


12:38mn*
the sky is calm
but it looks heavy
like the calm after a tantrum
and there are no stars
the sky is sad

I saw you standing there
I know you cannot bear
With weary eyes and skin so dry
You looked down wanting to cry

You want to hide in unknown places
Kept running away from your fears
Covering up your ears
To the words you don't want to hear

Storming days suddenly passed
You didn't moved until the sunlight flashed
You looked up and surveyed the sky
Finally found a reason to smile

"They" are the reason I put
gin in my vinegar.
I am light years ahead,
a misfit.
"They" crush my very existence
into tiny white lies. 13 stripes,
50 stars in the wide eyes of
timeโ€™s bride:ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย 
Now is not the place
to erase history deface
Its story.
Meditate to medicate
blissfully.
To my reader: you are full of beauty, and so is this world.
Exhausted
Zapped
Drained
Two steps forward
One step back
Walking through treacle
Time to chill
Time to sleep!

Curious, I mused,
how curious
Rain,reminiscence,renascence
A reel of past,winding
onto the present

And then,it dawned on me
sometimes,
rain awakens memories
sealed by flowing time.
ยฉ
As rain fell,drops dripping from the blue roof,rippling pools above gravel and pebbles,I journeyed at length,retreading roads of memories ...Times that passed, all that transpired, everything...unfolded before my eyes.
And I unravelled the present ,through this wondrous journey:))
