Clouds - Floating beauty in the Sky!


They call me floating beauty of the sky 
I am a saviour in the scorching summer
Casting a barrier when the sun is too angry
I extinguish the thirst of the lovely earth 
And move with daring wind with speed of light

I am a beauty with imagination, if you must know
Those funny images you see in the distant sky
A dragon sometimes and perhaps sometimes a fairy
And you think your mind is playing a trick
Oh! It is me playing around a bit when it gets little boring

I love to dress up, blending with nature's paint
Changing shape and colour to light up the dull blue sky
Oh! don't you think I am always so calm
I do get angry and when I do 
There is flash of violent light and thunders roll

I come close to the earth in winters for a while
When sun isn't around to play hide and seek
In the form of fog, I visit earth
And when sun returns from its vacation
Puff! I am gone with wind!

It all started on one moonlit night - A Pantoum Verse


It all started on one enchanting moonlit night
    When white serene light was falling on his face
At the time, when the dusk had kissed goodnight
    He felt as in from another time and place

When white serene light was falling on his face
   The sight of his smiling face was all I could see
He felt as in from another time and place
    And all I could hear was the voice of the sea

The sight of his smiling face was all I could see
    In the moonlight, when quietness crept up the hill
And all I could hear was the voice of the sea
    We just sat there as the woods grew darker still

In the moonlight when quietness crept up the hill
    I knew in my heart - it's now or never
We just sat there as the woods grew darker still
    And he had my heart for now and forever

I knew in my heart - it's now or never
    At the time, when the dusk had kissed goodnight

And he had my heart for now and forever
    It all started on one enchanting moonlit night...

A pantoum verse consists of a series of quatrains rhyming ABAB in which the second and fourth lines of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.

School Days

How lovely were the sunny days
When we had our own mysterious ways
Days were all about gruelling fun
Teased our friends with names of someone
Life was fun without any tension
To make friends was the only intention

And crushes and heart breaks were sweet 
And we never bothered to tweet 
Lunch box was over before lunch time
And there was nothing called only mine
Last bencher I was and a notorious child
Always in trouble and doing something wild

Homework were shared to get friends out of trouble
And chits and paper planes were made during lessons
Scolding and punishments were never more fun
And when we get in trouble we used to run
Getting in trouble and chalk fights were common
And those days can never ever be forgotten

Truth is now time has passed
And reality has to be faced
But now I miss those golden days
Trying to live them again in anyway
It was best part which has now crossed
In memories it exists , the time that I have lost..
