A gentle wind blew and a leaf falls down,
Soon footsteps start crushing it,
Days pass it dries and it dies!
So does happen with love!
Prathamesh Mar 2019
He forgets the warmth of the womb from which he’s born,
But deep still the impression of a mother remains intact.
She carries him first, caresses his soul and shows him what love means.
Love, a powerful emotion for a man it stands,
for he bonds with his people with that.

Silliness a perfect adjective to express a brother-sister bond,
She messes with him, he warns her
Yet she does the same, but this time he hits her.
She starts to cry and beat him up,
Now he ignores her but in his heart, he feels her “pain.”
Pain makes him gentle and he learns to fraternize with others.

Burdened with life, weak he feels, “unbearable” he says and seeks his only friend,
She holds his hand, rubs his back, hugs him lightly and he cries.
After sometime she cracks up a joke on him and starts to laugh ridiculously.
He frowns at her and says ‘you are so mean!’
But in his heart, he feels something else, that something is care.
Care makes him vulnerable and scared so he does whatever’s in his powers to keep her safe.

It’s a movie night, the weather is cold,
He made a hot chocolate, grabbed a blanket and lied down on the couch with his partner,
She’s in his arms all warm, enjoying hot chocolate and closeness with him,
She tells him “this is what makes me the happiest, what about you?”
He pats her gently on the head and kisses her on a cheek.
He knows that he’s also at his happiest!

Engraved by his mother and polished by others, he shines,
For there is a woman in every man!
In this poem, I have portrayed man's emotions as a gift from each woman who holds an important place in his life.

Sitting by the side of the water,
My arms wrapped around my legs, and face buried in my knees...
I am thinking, there is something in the waters...
Afraid of what it might be, still I stay put, for I love to be there...

Showing off what's left of my courage I call upon it, "who is there?"
Water remains calm on the surface but I can feel the surge of energy deep down as if it's playing me...
I can't figure out what it is thinking, so I let go of it and return back...
I am sitting by the waters, feeling happy talking senselessly, enjoying myself...
The water is unsettling I sense, I crept into silence, trying to understand it...
Now I think it's communicating with me...
Yes, I can feel it, but I can't tell what it is saying to me...
Whether it's good or bad? What does it want from me?
Does it want to be my friend?
Or the worst of possibilities?

Remaining calm I put my hand into the water,
Trying to calm it, now water is settling,
Yet I can feel the sheer fear of what can happen if it's unsettled...
Thoughts start to crawl out of my mind as if after touching this water it has connected with me and ****** out everything that was on my mind...
Now that "something" is in control of my mind...
Afraid of it I take my hand out of the water, a strange silence feels up the surrounding, there's not even a blow of wind, suddenly it starts to get cold there...
Now the sky starts to turn black, I tell myself this isn't real...
But I am seeing this then how can't it be real? I ask myself,
Now I'm scared for I feel a strong pull of something from that water,
Suddenly I start to heat up, my skin starts to turn red, now I know that I have to leave,
But how can I?

After debating a lot,  I decided that I have to enter into the water,
Trying to settle my breath I start taking steps,
Slowly, still thinking whether it's a good idea or not?
I enter the water but something strange has happened, I can't feel water at all,
I know that it's playing with my mind, so letting go of it I keep going inside,
Now I start to lose the senses of my feet as if they were paralyzed still, I keep going...

As I swim around water appears to be normal, I try to go deep...
Now I see beautiful creatures who were scared of me, I start to think that it was nothing...
So I start to go up...
Enjoying my swim and the scenery I sense that I am not going up...
Astonished I stop, now I start to feel pressure increasing on my body...
I knew that I am going to need to breathe as I was losing my hold on it...
Now I am terrified, cause I know that I am about to face my worst nightmare...
Regardless of wanting to save my life, I let go of everything and start swimming as fast as I can...

Now I start to motivate myself to go faster,  the pressure is increasing and I am losing my strength...
I look up and I see that I've to go quite up, again I get the same strange feeling of “something” in the water...
But this time it is different, cause this time I can see it...
Black as night without a moon with a blue pair of eyes, I feel a real chill up my spine...
I have to do something to get away from it...
It's real, all this time it was real and I am foolish to get into the water I think...

Out of nowhere, I get a strange thought, a memory actually of a friend lifting me as I stretch my hand up...
Soon, my eyes closed with new found strength I swim till the last breath...
I start to feel the heat on my eyelids, opening my eyes I see the sun!!
It's a bright day with birds chirping and a cool breeze!!
I get out of the water, lie down and catch my breath while feeling everything around me as if I've been resurrected back from dead...
I sat there for a while...
It was time to leave now...
I got up walked down to water looked into it smiled and thanked that "something" for teaching me!!
And I say "So there is something in the waters!!!"
