poem2

I sit in my deep maroon colored car

The one I have totally fallen for

The engine comes to life

The steering start turning

Somebody once told me to drive slowly

Slowly so that you enjoy the ride more.

I remind myself of the words again

And I take my foot off.

It’s a rough and dry road

But I like the way it hits me.

As always, the start is bouncy

But yea, that’s the pleasure of the ride!

My velvety maroon car

Its still cruising on the rough road

I keep going, whistling

The road seems to going on and on

Suddenly I realize,

My car has taken me to the clouds

the clouds are wine colored just as my car

I seem to let go of everything

And drown in them.

Euphoric, I wanna swim in those rich clouds

I know the buzz of the ride is getting in my head

Before I realize, the rides over

The clouds are gone

But I won’t worry,

Coz I know I would put in the keys again!

Desert Rain

I saw the little girl sitting on the sidewalk

Tired and cheeks stained

I knew the reason

“are you tired my little girl?

“yes, I am ….I did not want to be here.

This is not what I thought it would be.”

“I brought you where u always wanted to be”

“now I want to go back…back again

Back to the innocent world.

It was warm and rosy

But I was curious

Was curious about this.

I was excited when you brought me here

But this is not what I was expecting it would be

Its too cruel.

How come those dreams are still dreams?

Or was it just a mirage?”

“ Oh! Mirage u say , my girl?

It is a mirage, but we had fun running behind it, dint we?

See those people are still running…”

“But I am tired, tired of this running

But I know I can’t ever go back

Can not go back to that sunshine

Can not go back to the warm womb”

I sit there on the sidewalk beside her,

My shoulders down

Deep inside, I know I am tired too

“I can take you back, may be”

But I know I am not complete without her.

She knows that too…

She ponderes and smiles

She kisses me on my cheek and says

“I wont leave you alone..

I wont go back and make you run thru the desert by urself

I know you cant make the mirage a reality sans me

Who is gonna bring smiles on ur face

And stars in your eyes?”

I look at her

I know I am not complete without her.

She knows that too…

And there we go, with our eyes at the mirage!
