Jolts of emotion
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2023
Filled with delight.

Around me, it felt like joy was everywhere.

Every wish is out of date.
The year alone is new.

Status Quo
Eshwara Prasad Mar 2021
Sun and Moon wished to swap their positions.

I scoffed at their idea.

I told them that, in addition to the devastation of the world, it will also result in the irreversible destruction of my poetic creativity, which I believe, is untenable.

They decided to maintain status quo.

Don't wear life
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2024
Don't wear life.
For it clings to you from birth to death.
It's etched with tales of triumphs and woes. When it's on you, it entices you to dance with passion, embrace the strife,until we stumble down, to the silent ground.
