To the shadow!

The shadow that I see

Behind the sun,

Stares defiantly at me!

For...

I killed the one

That veiled my soul

And I stand…

Shadow free!

They have this right

To glare these eyes,

To this shadow of the sun!

I shout!

For, they define

What being the Sun

Is all about!

I remember,

In that darkness

I observed,

My shadow scaring me

And I fought…

Fought till the light in me

Conquered this fright

And my shadow died!

I paid no condolences,

And no mournful thoughts,

For they once defined me too!

With no sympathy for myself,

And the darkness, I was in!

The ashes, I threw!

To the burning light,

For, my shadow died…

I say, of no regret…

I did no wrong to me,

But, yes! to my shadow,

“Your company,

Disheartened the light in me,

With no option left,

I betrayed you and let you go!

Yes, I killed you”

I will never apologize though!

Hereby,

I refuse to say sorry!

I hate darkness, so I killed my shadow!

The Weird Dreams...

I see the rainbow, before it rains...

And feel the droplets, before they fall...

I count the stars, which I can't see...

At home, I bring them all...

I pluck the fragrance, no flower can have

And feel the breeze, before it blows

I chase the fireflies in a dark

Whoa! And I align them in a row…

I ride on the clouds, that monsoon brings

And steal all the silver lines

I paint the sky –pink

At home, I bring their shine

I climb the mountain, upside down

And crawl inside the sea

The best music that nature can play,

My feet dance yon the lea…

I walk over the river, turbulent and wild

And swim through the lush canopy

I befriend all the terrifying beasts,

And bring in them, the intangible beauty…

I shout and jump, of elation, Yeah!

For I can do, now, what I thought I can’t!

To add this smile on the sunless face…

And this rhythm to unvoiced chant! 

No grieves to worry about, 

How happy the world seems…

I would have loved to be in,

Only if they were not the weird dreams!
