Facade of Love

She loved Butterfly
So much
And
Its songs she used to sing,

So, I placed one
On her hand.

She screamed
And
Threw it away.
For it was without wings.

Birthday

I realised far away
From my place
I reached.
And many promises
I breached.
To be wished by loved ones
On my birthday
I thought.
And my mother
I forgot.
On this day,
She was lying
In agonies of death.
For in this world
I had to
Take a breath.

The Photos

Taking photo has gone
Through a change;
Sometimes this is to absolve,
Sometimes
To take revenge.

I wonder as to
Whose status is raised high;
Is it the person taking selfie
Or the person
Standing by?

It's no longer for
Your simplicity but shape;
You got to be pretty no matter
How you make face
Or gape.

I wish not to see them
As now they startle;
I capture the moments slowly
And make them
Immortal.

Let Us Not Wait

Minutes tick, moments slip
And the days pass by.
Let us not wait. Let us not say
"Why should firstly I?"

You, do not hold the grudges,
Always let them go.
There are good people around.
Yet, you never know.

Life is too short to have room for Reticence and anger.
Speak with the loved ones now,
For they'd be no longer.

Lest you lose them for good
To them, you, walk.
God forbid you regret later and
Say, "I wish I could talk."

The Conquerer

Plunged the sword
Into my heart,
And
"Conquered the world" he said,
"I left no part."

S. Bharat

The Wind

She bites me
Everyday
And wispers, "You're freak."
For I say her,
"You're cool" when happy.
When sad,
"You're bleak."

S. Bharat

Estrangement

You don't know
How far
You appear to be

When you avoid
And
Don't talk to me
