Banger

as the fire gleamed in her eyes

a true testament to her unwavering soul

a little bit of me melted

much like cold sorbet on a hot day

and as the winds blew,

so did my wavering heart.

and through the pressing intimacy of it all,

this whole brouhaha was unbeknownst to the world.

maybe partially to the winds

and wholly to me,
and her star-gazing eyes;

with the fire in the vicinity
bridging us together.

Hope

The Shawshank Redemption

I hope that you’re surrounded with wonderment and merry

I hope that the skies clear up for you, to shower you with their warmth and grace

I hope that you don’t have to worry about life’s regressions, all on your own

I hope that you find solace within the comforts of my heart

And that love finds its way to you,

When you’re exhausted and done,

And you’re looking for a shoulder to lean on.

I hope that you’re treated with love and respect

Wherever you go

And wherever you are –

I hope that you can remind yourself so,

That good days lie ahead

And that you can look forward to clear skies and green grass,

And an aura that will shine on through.

Nostalgia

We were both young and old,

Both at the same time.

A distant sense of a connection unknown,

Found its way,

Amid fleeting times

The world, an oasis out there

Both in the literal and in the metaphorical sense,

Starts ringing through,

As we brace ourselves

And head towards the union,

Of past and present lives

Connected and intertwined as one.

The drums start beating,

And the trinkets start humming,

As we bear testimony

To a hundred fleeting glances.

The poets and the sages,

The young and the old,

The dreamers and the doers,

They’re all present, –

Willing to give it all,

Hoping to get some in return.

As the seas rise, and the skies open

A massive undertaking,

Of exponential order

Gets set in place

For the eons to continue.
