Every smile is a hard work of tear
Tears ever carry a mask of smile
Having one letter in common
E meaning erase fantasy
Bringing the inner reality
Cry when you have to cry
Smile when you have to smile !

Big tree, giant bough with no leaves
Paper snakes crawling through the branches
Elephant chasing with no aim
White haired grandma laughing like a witch
Black shadow of a short human
Peeping in and out by the door
Sinking in a sea of sweat with fear
Opened my eyes for help
Realising safety lying amidst my mother and sister
Closed my eyes facilely with an innocent smile

She came to this earth like music
With the band Thunder and Lightning
Her cool performance mixing with hot tears of happiness

Walking towards the sea in search of death
Awaiting waves to hug him
Grabbing his leg a small crab
As a message to stop him
More tight the grab if he moves
Standing still for minutes
Without disturbing the crab
Leaving the grip crawls the crab
With no idea where to settle
Spending few more minutes
With his legs on chilled shore
Gives a feel of newborn body and soul
Walks back to his life with a steely smile

Tears losing temperature in his absence
Untouchability in his negligence
Hatred in his unspoken silence
Poisoned me with his memories
Where did I go wrong in loving him?

Are they twinkling stars in the sky
Or fireflies above the blue lake
Or a blue Christmas tree
A poetess heart is a canvas
Painting colourful pictures
Of her own beautiful creations
