Still hanging on tree
Unwilling- the leaf falls down
Now sways in the way
Love is all about letting go.
Drowning in the sea
Choking- the pressure on me
But I learnt to swim.
My first Haiku. Its about how people laugh at you when you fail. But you make them silent with even a greater comeback.
Raindrops on the roof,
They’ve given me a change of mood,
Washing all the desolation away —
Like a freebird, like a goof,
Inside me, joy that brewed.
In the rain, I dance and sway.
This poem is inspired by Ruskin Bond's "Hip-Hop Nature Boy".
Celebrating too early-
"Resign youhi", he said.
Then made a blunder-
An end to his journey.
The web i spread,
His king, ready to surrender.
Inspired by a real chess match where my opponent starts celebrating too early and taunts me - "resign youhi". But resigns himself later.
Going round and round all the way.
Whether you count or not,
I count every second night and day.
Your life's ticking forward, filling like a ***.
The end is not far away.
Just jotting down whatever’s on my mind.
You got a dream,
A spark inside you.
Your eyes got that gleam,
A passion inside you.

Each step is fuel,
The energy inside you.
Hard work’s a tool,
The patience inside you.

The dreams and the desire,
A hope inside you.
Turn the spark into a roaring fire —
You’re one of the few.

Life is full of pain,
The strength inside you.
Try again,
And make your dream come true.
Time flies by,
Everything fades away,
Like a candle burning out,
Watching it decay.
Chasing the light,
Losing the day.
Life and dreams
Fading away.
Everything will eventually fade away like a candle slowly burning out. Its inevitable. So its important to enjoy every second and minute of our life. We always think about our future(chasing the light) and lose our day(present).
