Adorable Pessimist

This method of dark resounding
Given away-
By the mind, without a twinkling
‘Fear’ is the word that collocates
Itself with-
That very thing within me which rotates.

Brooding, by some means has become
A profession, nothing to be proud of;
These laments aren’t easy to withdraw
They reside within, life long-

Cheerful acquaintance people seek,
Distress, shooed away
While lavished by some
Everything meaning the same.

This method of remotely stature
Making life gay-
Narrowed by  the parings
‘Live’  is the word that is construed
Inside us-
That very thing within me screwed. 


Discreet choice

Fleeing from materialistic flouts
Orphan was I, gliding, wandering
Could immensely inhale the rhapsody
Travelling past my ear drums, cuddling.

Not in my destiny to play myriad instruments
 More than food it is dear to me
Goosebumps ran through me, when if lawlessly
Clustered the curt of tunes into a pitch-perfect music.

With ten dollars I roamed mindlessly
Until I came across a young lad, didn’t halt
Holding a guitar in his arms,
I dropped my money into his bowl, obliviously.

Surprised, he asked a song that I craved
Trembling, then played  a winding tune
Curious; I stalked him after the gloomy sunset,
Switched into a grand ruddy hall-

Beaucoup children gathered around me,
But master scorned me to withdraw.
At daylight, beheld the marvel heap of instruments
Nothing perceiving, hit the dusty guitar, never stopping.

Taken aback was my master, harmoniously
He taught me, I played at streets
Many a money he acquired through me
Yet unsatisfied, turned harsh upon me.

A raid dissolved everything, I fled;
A priest listened to me like a deer
Was allotted to a music school, life’s stroke
There, all badged me the specie of Mozart.

The honor of performing a concert
Clinked my tiny blood cells, inviting for more
For music would conjoin me to my birth-givers;
Days escaped and days advanced.

Wanting for a multitude to hear me-
And my pinned Soul.
Both musicians; amidst, I drew my face
There they were smiling.

Frailty

Tiny moments are these
So will they pass
My mind is on lease
I head towards the grass.

No bird comes and sings
Jours and nuits get lonely
While I lay gazing galaxy-rings
No worry if it was my folly.


Botticelli Madonna (sweet singing)

Deep, hollow, irregular breaths she inhaled
A blow of wind plundering her sonority
She widened her eyes to look for a shadow, a mate
None did her eyes meet other than the soul of breeze.

Moistening her cheeks, discolored through endless sorrow
It beheld her, consoling her quivering velvet lips
Her tormented shadow was kissed infinitely, graciously
She glanced above, murmured and cajoled.

Platonic and gay, she surrendered to the gnawing ballad
Of the fraying wind, crooning to mollify her.
Mirthlessly she manoeuvred, her feelings intermingled
"A sad Botticelli angel," the wind thought.

Yet she was diffident, lest it might lurch away
Annealing and cringing her love to sail freely
The spangling wind sprinkled pity upon the angel
She reversed abruptly, the overwhelming wind slackened away.
