Solitude

The music subdued by the chatter

Unwavering, I follow the tune

Perfunctory nods to superficial talks

My heart harmonizing with the beats

The world is screaming around me

Yet I smile in my solitude

Free

The day is sprinting, but I'm still

My frenzy has frozen

I'm bewildered

Everything around is a haze , but I'm not in a daze

My mind is lucid

I discover

Unaffected, my core pours out

I am more of me than what I was

I'm free

Void

When you first encounter emptiness

The vacuum engulfs you

The echoes haunt you

You crave for a space to call your own

Yearn for people you love

And pine for things you relish

But, enjoy the nothingness

Bounce from wall to wall

Frantically imagine and freely create

There are no hurdles to avoid

So don't evade the void

It's time to start anew

Optimism

I watch the clouds drift, not the chaos on the streets

I overlook  the shanties and rejoice the lush-green trees

I'm oblivious to the evening shadows  and seep in the light

The light that pierces through  the dark clouds just before it goes out of sight

Little things make me smile in an instant

And you would conclude I'm ignorant

But I live in the bliss of optimism 

Raining Inspiration

You make me fall in love again

and tickle me with my fondest memories

You bring out the child in me

and the life in everything around

You make my heart pour out

and spark my scribbles of poetry

Mighty clouds, you humbly drop down as rains

to achieve your purpose, and lead me to mine

Until I cross the bridge

Until I cross the bridge

I can run to either side,

Or dive into the sea.

I can fly off and glide,

Or lie down and just be.

Unfazed without a destination,

I'll take my time to make a decision.

I'll live my life on the edge,

Until I cross the bridge.
