Did you say that you didn't get everything you wished for?

Life is a karoke
Set your own tune.
Sing your own song.
Eshwara Prasad May 2023
A profound lyric becomes a powerful wind of steadfast love.
Lifts the hate-filled cloak that has been engulfing humanity.
A new sense of calm and tranquilly descends across the divided society.

Life routine
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
Gossip was delightful.
The daily congregation
Kept everyone in  high spirits.
Reputations of men and
women of high order
were ripped to shreds.
The gossipers dispersed
only after discovering a villain
in the group who had broken the
group code with a malicious gossip about a group member.

Respond like a real human
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2023
You had vowed that if called, while standing in front of the ocean, you will arrive as a reviving wave current.
You will appear as a calming downpour if I call while standing beneath a cloud.
You will arrive as all rejuvenating lava if I call while standing in front of a volcano.
You will appear as rays of illumination if I call while standing in front of a scorching sun.
You will arrive as a cool breeze if I call while standing in front of a howling wind.
But all I want is that when I call you in a human voice, you respond like a real human.

Lost in Translation
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
You had promised me that you will translate all of my poems into a widely spoken foreign language.

Now, your volt face, declaring my poems unworthy of even a single read, has jolted my faith in my poetic abilities rather than in your intentions.

The earth was covered in a blue ocean. Everything turned bluish! The one-color world blinded humans' criminally discriminating eyes.

Poetry is a service
Eshwara Prasad Dec 2022
Where has everyone gone?
Nobody I know is visible here.
Will at least a few return?
What happens if none do?
Can I spend a long time here by myself?
Will it be worthwhile, if at all.
I want to remain because I need to motivate them to return, regardless of what happens.
Do I have a chance of success?
Well, I'm clueless right now, but I'm going to stay here to be available to others.
