For that one soul

I felt happy,

Looking at that number -

An absolute "Zero"

The foot falls into my garden.

The garden I built for myself -

With great planning and effort.

I know -

I built it for myself,

Yet I put -

"All are welcome" sign in front.

I am not looking for masses,

I am looking for that one soul,

who walks closer to me.

I only need one set of steps,

to find their way in.

But think about it -

a perpetual sadness arrives.

Though I felt happy

that nobody walked into my garden.

New song

When I sing, 

I see their faces glow, 

I hear their hands clap, 

I feel their hearts fly. 

And I go back, 

Night after night, 

to sing a new song

to the gathering crowd.

I am outgrowing!

I am outgrowing,
The cozy little box I live in.

The shiny golden box,
With silver lining-
Is all I built from forever.

Thought of moving out,
Finding a bigger cozy box -
To lay-in until time infinity
Is scary as hell-

Yet, I need to venture out.
I am outgrowing,
This cozy little box.

I crossed the bridge

I crossed the bridge, 
Running from East to West, 
Daring fog, rain, wind, 
Trying hard to be visible - 
among zooming invisibles. 

Finally - sitting in hall, 
drenched with light all over, 
Waking and Feeding the core, 
After a long eons of break. 

Sweet surprising every minute - 
The core being core and not rocky.

I am moving half asleep

I am moving half asleep,
yet I go where I got-to.

Like my dad's ox cart pulling,
sleeping rider home.

I am half awake,
Yet I try to stay burning.
Like my Mom's wood-stove -
covered with its own thick ash.

The King was furious

The King was furious

A stray arrow from his own camp,

killed his favorite horse. 

--

He ordered arrows to be fired 

Towards his own men.

--

He ordered retreat 

And marched with anger 

To his own fort. 

--

All the men at arms,

Left to wear different colors. 

The king was still furious.

Dreary nightmare

Every night,

I had the same dreary nightmare,

waking me up sweaty, lost and scared.

Always,

I was cuddled -

soothing voice, surrounded me.

Until today,

No warm hands holding me.

No musical notes to make me merry.

Their aura spreads

Don't get blindsided

King's tone traverses all,

Queen's colors are on flag.

The cogs - shaking, shaping, rotating, oscillating, carrying the burden of whole kingdom -

Are simply cogs without eyes and ears.

When the cogs start sensing

Their aura spreads until it encompasses the royal blue.
