Life can be made Interesting

The little boy

Heard me cribbing

Life is very dull

Without any fun

Came near me

Looked into my eyes

Smiled for a while

And said to me

Why do you say this?

Look at me

Life is full of fun for me

I play a lot

Go to school daily

Run with the butterflies

Watch the fishes

Swim in the stream

Enjoy the birds flying

Eat when I am hungry

Sleep when tired

Do not compete

With anybody

Do not worry about

Tomorrow

Enjoy every day

With the same spirit

The little boy ran away

Without listening to me

Made it easier for me

To understand

How life can be made

Interesting

A home is a home

Away from home

Staying

In a luxurious hotel

In a beautiful city

I enjoyed the day

Saw new places

Ate good food

The weather was

Excellent

People were nice

At the end of the day

Heard lilting music

Had a sumptuous dinner

It was time to relax

Feeling sleepy

I plunged myself

On the big, cozy bed

Every now then

I kept awaking

Losing my sleep

Simply wondering

What was lacking

Somehow

The morning arrived

I packed my baggage

Took a flight

To my city

Reached my home

Feeling tired

Straightaway

Went to sleep

On the small bed

Of my small bed room

Slept for few hours

Got up refreshed

I knew the answer

Of my sound sleep

No matter

However small

With or Without

Luxuries

A home is a home

The curse of beauty

Beauty at times

Becomes

A matter of ego 

A curse 

For the beautiful

A reason to envy

An eye sore

For many

Who are?

Less beautiful

An object of lust 

For the naughty 

Roving eye

Increases the lust

Of the Satan’s

Amongst humans

A reason to worry

For the near dear ones

Makes life

Mean and jaded

At times

So shy and fearful

One becomes

One is left with

No other choice

Except to hide it

Behind the walls of

 A veil

Friendship is like a bird

Friendship

Is like a bird

Trust is the body

The feathers are friends

New feathers keep

Coming

Many keep shedding

Old friends turn into

Body parts

Leave the world

Only with death

More the warmth

More the trust

Colorful it looks

Sweetly it chirps

Together in a flock

They dance and rock

It was a dream still is a dream

I saw her on the way

She looked

An angel’s image

My heart beats increased

The eyes

Remained wide open

My feet refused to move

Is she from the earth?

Or from the heaven

The question thronged

My mind

To my utter surprise

She smiled

And waved at me

Startled with her

Captivating beauty

Instead of replying

Like a dumb fool

I kept looking at her

By the time

I realized

What she meant

Leaving me in lurch

She was no where

To be seen

It was a dream

Still is a dream

Which I want to see

Every day every night

It was raining,It was pouring

It was raining

When I saw her

It was pouring

When I met her

The moment her eyes

Met with mine

I drowned

In the depth of her eyes

Her beauty

Mesmerized my mind

Her grace

Powered my heart

Love buds

Started blooming

From every

Nick and corner of

My soul

She captivated me

To the extent

I became a helpless guy

I left myself to her mercy

Now she was the master

I was the slave

Whatever she did

Was acceptable to me

Without any hue and cry

The rain was drenching

The dry earth

She was drenching me

With her love

It was raining

It was pouring

Sleepless night

This night

Is no different

From many

I have seen in the past

Same agony

Same tossing in the bed

Churning of memories

Restlessness

Looking at the clock

Again and again

Whether

 I switch on the TV

Hear some music

Try to read a book

Nothing makes me

Comfortable

Helplessly

I keep on waiting for the

Morning sun to rise

By now I know

Why this is happening

The moment

Somebody took her name

In the evening

I knew today’s night

Is going to be a

Sleepless night
