“Darkness, my old friend”

Darkness – an image by Bing Image Generator

Turn out the light
Feel Darkness crawl up
Your lap and cuddle
In the warmest embrace
Whisper about the scars
Let them out, the tears
With your deepest fears
When the words are done
Let it slip away, gently
Into the night, bearing
The heaviness of one
With stories never to be told

Doomsday

Earth on Doomsday – Image from Bing Image Generator

Earth stopped its spin
For chances were slim
That the dust would heal
The skies could conceal
Such wide devastation
Destructive intervention
Of the ones who ruled
As masters of doom.
In destined departure
From a promised Rapture
The oceans spilled over
And mountains cowered
When a blue planet swore
It could bear no more!

Autumn-in-Waiting

It was a rainy day when I heard
Tears of a fairy in the rustling leaves
Glistening droplets sliding gently
From flamboyant Gulmohar petals
Taking the fire and fury of summer
Into the arms of autumn-in-waiting

Lagoon

Lagoon

In the lagoon of your eyes
I have lost myself
Surrounded by shimmer
Sinking in the depths
I am colored blue
I am washed in green
Like shadows, reflections
That slide down slowly
With tears of exuberance
As wishes blown gently
On wings of eyelashes!
