(Part 01)

As the dawn arrived,
the cold breeze
swept the
belt of
yellow sand
with her fragile
delicate fingertips,
till the sun
dipped low
and
melted into
the seas of tears,
for the moon
to take a
flight
into the skies
to have a ballet
with the
stars.
That true beauty lies in those who fade away quietly, letting others shine, and remain until no pain reaches them.

Ode to a Golden Cup
Soul Jun 26
Shinning bright
in the misty night,
the only light
in sight;—
From your polished
face, I waited
once for long.
Like a song
it ended, leaving
you on my sighing
bare hands.
In the distant lands
my fame grew;—
Not a single dew
drop I saw
in my raw
life.
But why?
I cried;—
Why did
you left my
heart lie,
made of
tough;
grey steel—
Still warm
from the fire
you never meant
to stay?
Succeeding Life doesn't mean you let others fall as you move on the track...

Ode to a Wound
Soul Jun 25
(To the one that never healed)

Worn; Torn;
Tortured.—
Lies in the depths
only the soul
can reach;—
You never
revealed.
Would a few gentle
words, wrapped
in a dozen of
chocolate petals,
heal you?
Tell me;
Am I right,
this time?
Love has no Barriers  -Maya Angelo-
Soul Jun 26
Charged;
Defrauded;
Roaring with rage,
you hid in my
duct, hovering
a blanket over
you, closer
to my
vulnerable
left eye.—
You etched
a tear drop,
drowned in
silence.
Will you
ever let it
fall?
Have you ever hidden your pain to someone? Thinking it would do better?...

Ode to an Old Turtle
Soul Jun 25
Born from an
egg hatched
in the midst of
the Sea Gulfs'
territory;
As your brothers
faded into the
dusk, you
slipped away.
As the moon
poured its rays
to the seas,
stars danced
upon your
shell.
As you sought
for pearls
of love
beneath the
coral reefs,
your fragile
bones grew
robust.—
Into the deep
blue seas you
travelled.
With a life
so long,
haven't you ever
felt, your bones
numb?
Be Optimistic! Life is long...

Ode to a Password
Soul Jun 29
Hovering a black cloak
over you,
wearing a smile so
strained;—
That could make one
be lost
in the deep mist,
you wait in
silence.
In the depths
of your complex codes
lies the
unsolved mysteries and
the truths of
my past.
My worn eyes
can't reach you till
your name is recalled
from my lips stitched
together with
thick wires.
Will you
ever reveal
yourself?
Left in Confusion...

Ode to a Raven
Soul Jun 28
Shoved in darkness,
poking the grey mist
from the edge of
your crooked
beak;—
Murmuring omens
of death 'till
the life
ends;—
But why?
Why do you wait
for the fall of fame?
From the one drowned
in the seas of shadows,
may I ask:
Is your heart made
of black-Granite
Stone?
Beware of jealousy...

Ode to a cockroach
Soul Jun 28
Some might
scream at you
seeing their
worst pest,
A few might
love you as
their favourite
loving pet.—
Your arrogance
roams every
black inch
on earth.
But still,
for some, you
are their the most
delicious snack.—
Pride do fall,
right?
Decided to start with an unexpected topic, to express the nature of pride...
Soul Jun 25
Hovering a blanket of soft sand,
my tiny fragile tickling toes do land.
The baby waves all marine blue,
with white gem-like bubbles so sweet;
At first, not I had a clue;
They had come to the shore to greet.
"Hello! Hello!", they started to sing,
as my soaked clothes began to swing.
At the edge of the pure sand,
with the cool quiet breeze along,
my skirt danced hand-in-hand,
listening to their favourite song.

As my little arms steadied to stand,
near by I found a pretty sea shell band.
All at once, I heard my name,
being called far from the blue seas.
"Surely, I haven't such so fame,
who knows except the great bees?"
Said I, not knowing the calm voice;
My feet bursted up, to take a choice.
It was the sun, that's so bright,
wearing a gown of golden dye,
melting the last ray of light,
it dipped low, saying "goodbye!".
Enjoy & have fun!
Soul Jul 1
Cradled in my
old broken holder,
your edges once
smooth—now all frayed;
Covered in grey
thick paint,
with pleading eyes,
you wait, to be
held in my
fragile
fingers.
But still
you kept your
lips stitched
with cobwebs.
Is that because,
a single touch of
yours, would scratch
the new-born
paper? Brush
Heartfelt kindness

Ode to a Lost Letter
Soul Jun 26
(To the One Who Never Read It)

Words which silenced
the fieriest volcano,
Commas that held the
flashes of the skies;
Etched; Stitched;—
Like a spider web,
stuck in an Oak tree;
With no name written
at the end...
Tell me,
Tell me dear,
Do you remember
the first ink blot which
shed its tears on you?
Pain of not knowing to the truth, is the worst...Never let that happen...

Ode to a Coffin
Soul Jun 27
Why be so rude?
To keep yourself warm
in the freezing cold,
you stole my seat,
which I saved
long ago.

Did you know?
The Atlantic's mighty
seas shed their tears
'till no Mariana
Trench remained;
The Northern winds
kept swirling,
awakening the fury
of the Typhoon lord.
All in vain—
seeing my
vulnerable pain.

May I ask,
Why?
Why did you
bury yourself
deep down in a
place I cannot reach,
below my wrinkled feet,
leaving behind
a dead rose
in a black
***?
A loss hurts so deeply. The hurt may not be seen by others, it even may be due to their actions. But that pain...

Ode to a Yew Tree
Soul Jun 25
Nestled in your bones,
Ravens cloaked in black;
Murmurs, whispers, cackles—
soaring into the good night
by the Grey mist.
Clothes all torn; Worn;
tightened with spider webs.
Holding my grip by
my wrinkled bare hands—
Your gnarled roots all wet!
Soaked; Below my slippers
in the midst of silence,
as my shadow trips
on to your solemn face.
Did you know?
Did you know that
I held you in my
soft, young palms
seventy years ago?
I thank you,
my precious dear ally,
for keeping my wilted
dead red rose warm,
as my heart broke apart.
Now it's time.
For you shall engulf
my stone dome grave
with your gentle heart.
For I shall close my eyes
with my final breath.
Before I ask you;
Entomb it for me,
will you?
Death cannot stop Love!

Ode to River Nile
Soul Jun 27
Fingers all stretched,
your arms wide opened;
As the mighty skies
shed their solemn
tear drops.
By them,
you soaked the
veined roots gently,
until green tender
leaves dance in
delight;—
Not earning a
single smile.
But why?
Why did you
reach out your
bare hands to
get scratched by
thorns?
The great people are not the ones who pass exams and achieve degrees. The great ones are the ones who serve the society honestly and trying to help others by listening to each of their wounds and reaching them to uplift their status. That kind of heart is very rare, but that is what the present lacks...

I cannot go to bed
Soul Jun 30
"I cannot go to bed,
it's 9 pm", I said.
Just one more time
the clock should chime,
for me to go to bed.

My mother came out,
with a horrible shout,
"you have to got bed,
it's too late", she said.
But I don't want to go to bed.

So happily, I stared
at the TV, and declared,
"I will never go to bed!"
Then my dad's face went scarlet red.
But still I need not go to bed.

"You must tidy up this whole mess!"
He said; eyes fixed at the peices of chess.
My instincts worked with a pop,
I ran, but I did not stop,
to go back to bed.

Ode to a Firefly
Soul Jun 26
As the skies up high
bloom with dark sea blue,
when the moon forgets
its duty tonight;
Up you fly for
a ballet with the stars;
Glowing every
single black ray
with a golden spark;
When all asleep,
cozy, warm in their beds,
but why?
Why do you
light up the skies,
without keeping
the only left light
to yourself?
Be selfless. Don't just be in your comfort zone...Think out of the box...
Soul Jun 27
Standing at the
edge of the
room,
flashing your
eyes to every
inch,
you wait in
silence.
You whisper the
secrets one
desire;—
You make them
go blind;
Bind to
you;—
Till none
is left in
them.
Do you
hunger
sorrow,
joy for a
reason?
Do you think fairly and unbiasedly when you look into something?

Ode to an Equation
Soul Jun 25
(To the one that was never solved)

Sitting on a page,
on my square-ruled book,
with a solemn face,
you stare at me
with your pleading
eyes,
like a
caged bird.
My brain whelms
in pain, eyes shed
their tears;
My hand surges
up and down.
But you were
never mended.
Your two arms
beside your
two-stripped shoulders
were never the same.
One scrunched;
Other stunted.
Will you ever
fill my lonely
spaces?
Have you ever felt the  pain of trying to fix something that is out of your reach?  Have you ever thought of why is so?

Ode to the seas
Soul Jun 26
Rough; Charged;
Tall as Mount Everest;
Boiling blood in
waves of rage;—
You blow them
all, by a gentle
breeze;—
Back on to
your cozy lap.
Is that all
because you
want to build
a nest;—
Not perfect
but, but a
better one
of phoenix
feathers?
At first sight, you may not get the hidden deeper meaning which I tried to interpret. It may sound incomplete, but it is not...
From this poem, Ode to the seas, it conveys the Bond of a Family & how it differs. I guess, even you have some kind of problem happening in your family. Just think for a second about this I say, during your whole time, haven't a single problem arose in your family? Have you ever thought about why its so? Why its not perfect?...
In my opinion, as I try to convey in my poem, perfect families mean that they have no such thing called family bonds...

Ode to a Firestorm
Soul Jun 27
(To the one that no one sees)

Hidden in the depths
of my fractured ribs,
burning my heart
with hot-waves,
you hid.
Born,
when all
tore my hands
for drawing my
ink soaked thoughts
in black.
Promise me;
To not let
my heart break,
just let it melt till
none is left,
will you?
I am actually busy these days, & so poems float into my mind. I just write them down, but my parents wont allow thinking it would distract my studies. Anger approaches me. But I wait in silence, still doing what I love, knowing that it is my psychologist who reduces my stress, till it fades, not partly but completely...

I hate when...
Soul Jul 2
I hate when,
my opponent sat
in front of me
with a stained,
crooked sly grin
which reaches
up to the
ears
that day.
He looked in
to my eyes that
made me quite out
of my breath.
"Oh", I sighed.
"Not that face again",
said I.
Of course,
he did not took
it away at all.
The pieces
strolled on the
quiet lonely board.
Checks, captures with
diving threats all along.
Finally,
it happened,
just two pieces left.
Again staring at each other
from the two corner ends...
How could I
possibly not resist
to let out the laugh which,
I always kept hidden under
my tiny nose
all the
time?
Sweet Memories in a chess tournament...
Soul Jul 5
(Part 02)

As the galaxy
of shining stars
danced along with
the moon;
the stars twinkled,
slapping their long
eyelashes
till they felt
the warmth in
the space
between.
The moon,
at his very best
tried to illuminate,
but his light never
escaped,
for he only
got reflected.
The stars realized
the fakeness of his
shine,
for they
left him alone
in the midst of the
grey clouds...
A story of unmasking — when someone who tries to shine in front of others is exposed as not truly themselves, and ends up lonely, misunderstood, or rejected.

Ode to Guilt
Soul Jun 28
Wearing a
white gown,
decorated with
Lotuses,
you dance
in the midst of
the distant meadows
like a new-born
petal.
But, in the depths,
where bones uncover,
etched to my black heart,
a red handprint,
you left.—
Will you
ever leave me
in peace?
Be honest. Don't fall into traps. Cause if you do, it is hard to erase the scars...

A Hush in The Autumn
Soul Jun 29
The dangling leaf at the edge of a twig.
waiting to be caught by a gentle swig;
"Why not shall I, if you are awful dread,"
for he just slipped into the dreams ahead.

Swinging from side-to-side the leaf goes,
The blade; oh sweet, so smooth, tickles her toes.
His cunning eyes, glistening with mischief,
lets her slip away, the smile of relief.

The tender breeze tip-toeing at the edge,
waits until he searches her over the hedge.
Sweeping past the weightless sighs of the skies,
his heart races to the soft lullabies.

As his golden touch came into her sight,
She blushed and giggled; With a laugh so light.
The sly leaf crawled cozy on her lap.
With cheeks of caramel; there left no sap.

Up and down the hills, their happy feet rolled.
in the deep dark woods, hand-in-hand they strolled.
The great treows, all bowed with crowned heads, all low,
along they tracked their trails, each step so slow.

Red robins with voices beyond the lyre,
sang sweet songs that made them never feel tire.
Whispering secrets, hummed the swarm of bees;
as the shy sun melted into the seas.

Along the coastal strip, that's full of sand,
they built yellow sand castles, all so grand.
The leaf blade cut the black ebony doors.
The touch of the breeze smoothed all; sky loors.

Seeing the two hands being hold up tight,
the moon, into the sky, it took a flight.
Their irises bloomed like blue berry dyes,
when met upon their vulnerable eyes.

Over the glistening marine seas they flew,
as on their soft peach cheeks, the moonlight grew.
In the blue spotlight they began the dance,
as the stars shined out to take a good glance.

To borrow their small breaths the dolphins swam,
to light the scene the pearl glowed of Mr. Clam.
Their calm reflections followed as they go,
they held red roses in their merry slow row.

In the night skies they drew Andromeda,
racing a past the fastest comet-a.
Soon the days of sorrow began to rang,
seeing Venus, in the journey,—they sang.

The mighty seas who blessed, changed it's mind,
not gentle at all, he who was so kind.
Up roared the rough waves of anger and rage,
trying to force the leaf into a cage.

The entire scene of their story transforms,
from all directions, evoked thunder storms.
Their love never died, 'cause their hearts were strong,
for they wrapped themselves, to meet fate along.

Through the deathly grey-blue arcs the two rode,
holding each other not slipping the code.
Unexpectedly, her cheeks touched his nose,
The battles held on, to smile for a pose.

As the traitors left, the two of them knelt,
as inside them, tough heaviness they felt.
The shining edges of pure gold were all torn,
the sweet chuckles of the breeze, all were worn.

As they gently walked across the lawn,
bringing life back that came out at the dawn.
Bluish dew drops shone on green yards along,
as their hearts hummed, murmuring a soft song.

As they came to an old, forlorn cottage,
only dusted pots left with some potage.
A heap of ash lay in the frozen hearth,
No tender sprout grew in the near-by earth.

Flew the leaf with grey stones stitched to its bones,
holding shards of glass; the breeze runs and moans.
The two moved through the lonely dull walkway,
with fingers intertwined, no words to say.

They journeyed so far as long as they could,
for they didn't mind time, as if it's stood.
Their breaths smelled of a garland of daisies,
for they smelled pure joy like new born babies.

Underneath tall box-grey giants they roamed,
as thick black ***** swept past her hair—they combed.
The floor roared vibrations from everywhere,
folding the two into a dark nightmare.

As she let out a sneeze the leaf went low,
Into a white disc he crashed with a blow.
For they didn't know it's a busy road,
Into a cogged drain he fell like a toad.

Soaked in wet the leaf horribly howled,
she couldn't resist, the voice once crawled.
The worn breeze chased him ignoring each bent,
for she followed every echo that went.

The fragile curves of her lips all were snatched,
her white gown of silk, every part was scratched.
Her fingers reached out, but tears rolled down,
for they never touched his, in the harsh town.

Blocked her way the snow etched bars in the drain,
she burst up high in the midst of the rain.
Over the metals she ran on her way,
secretly listening to words he say.

Every inch went cold as winter arrives,
the leaf hid in the depths of frozen thrives.
The breeze lay her heart so low with blind eyes,
as the last ray faded into the ice.
A poem, about nature, and how it is polluted going through a scene of Romance...
Soul Jun 28
(to the one that ticks backwards)

Leaving the future
in a locked
wooden
chest,—
You dive into
the memories;
Deep;
Dark.
You seek only
birth.
But why?
Why
do you
run away from
death?
If you fear what's ahead, there is no path for you ahead...

True Friendship
Soul Jun 26
Someone once asked me,
"Friends? How can we be?"
To that, I truly must say,
It's something pure,
deeper than the way
it looks, for sure.

Some make friends
with those who are rich,
or to vanquish the hopes
of a better life, which
in the mask of a friend
they hide, to twitch.

But for me, it's totally
different from the others,
for I have no jealousy
in my kind eyes.
But few allies, I do
have, that I must tell thee.

We may not chat,
we may not meet,
but still, friends, we shall be.
For I write a story
to preserve in my memory,
to never forget, and it shall be.
What kind of friends do you have? Why do some call you as a friend? Have you ever thought of it?...

Farewell, My Friend
Soul Jun 26
"Farewell, my friend,"
said I, for my notions,
were as bold as they
kept grooving in
the deep mist.

"Farewell, my friend,"
said I, for I thought
your intentions were
leading into
the deep trench.

"Farewell, my friend,"
said I, for my confusion
of your devastating words
drove me through
the deep chasm.

"Farewell, my friend,"
said I, for we shall
meet again in time,
but for now, trust me—
until then,

"Farewell, my friend!"
Sometimes, we all do fall into wrong paths when our hearts and minds get tangled up. But it's  neither wrong or right, it's just that, nothing abnormal. But, the decision we take, with a kind thought in patience, is what that matter the most...

Ode to a Stray Dog
Soul Jun 28
Snatched; Kicked,
out of the doors;
You run away
along the paths
in the midst of
the storms.—
Your visible ribs,
sunken abdomen,
soaked by the
tears of the
skies.
Does hunger
always rule your
life?
Have you ever felt anyone’s situation? It might be a person or an animal. What have you done then? Did you look into it with a kind heart or betrayed him?

Ode to a Lost Button
Soul Jun 28
From the tiny
chest of yours,
dangles a white
thread wrapped
in thick dust;
Your face all
etched with
cobwebs
grey;—
I found you on
my old table,
beside my
blunt needle
which I held
in my soft palms
fifty years ago.
Tell me,
will you?
Did your heart
belonged to
someone,
once,
long
ago?
A love so long, hidden, not knowing if it was so…

Ode to a Forgotten Cup
Soul Jun 26
Grey cobwebs stitched
in your broken handle.
Coal-brown dregs at
the bottom of your heart.
No taste; No sip;—
Only a kiss left on
your solemn cheek.
The curve traced of
chocolate on my jaw,
my lips that soaked
in caramel juice;
All dry;
Covered in dust.
In the depths
of your ceramic
lies the secret truths
that I never knew.
Tell me;—
Tell me,
Why?
Why, just us
lost in the
mist?
Broken Love holds the truths which we do not know...
Soul Jun 26
Why?
Why not leave?
The broken chain awaits,
for Autumn to rest.
Why?
Why do you imprison?
The snowy Winter—
gazing through
the hourglass.
Why?
Why so attached?
It's just...
only—only
—one life.
Be simpler. Be contempt with what you have. Don't get attached, just let it go...

— The End —
