Deadly water

DEADLY WATER Water was very cold, mother! When we fell into the river. You know how bad do I feel  when you take me for a bath; I shivered for a while  and then I felt numb, I froze to my last breath  in the freezing water; I tried to hold my breath  Like I do when you pour water on me, But it didn’t work this time! I tried to save my books, mother! Expensive books and my school bag,  dad bought yesterday for me with small savings he had made; But it was too heavy,  it pulled me down along Till I sank with the soaked pages  I would read in the school  to become an engineer, And make a bridge  For my school across the river! It was morning prayer time, mother! You prayed for my long life  and cooked food for me; You kissed my forehead  and pulled me from the bed; Fed me with your sweet hands and dressed me up, a last time, for the school or angel of death; You combed my hair, kissed my cheeks and looked into my eyes, a la...

Don't 🤔

Do not love half lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half the way will get you no where Half an idea will bear you no results Half a life is a life you didn't live, A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had A friendship you did not know The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a being You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life.

Shake me off this dream...😚

This is about the people we trust and they play with it..  SHAKE ME OFF THIS DREAM I live in a fictional world Where truth is sacred And people don’t wear masks Someone please!  Shake me off this dream.. I trust every word they say The lies coated with sugar  And charms they spell around  Someone please!  Shake me off this dream.. I rest on every promise they make Golden trees with silvery leaves they show And I endure the harsh chills of winter  Someone please!  Shake me off this dream.. I see the summers coming  With a single sparrow flying in the sky And I wing my dreams too to soar Someone please!  Shake me off this dream.. Danish Bhat.....

AND IT RAINS....😘

AND IT RAINS It rains and rains deep into the minds Like the clouds crashing with shattering sounds The round skullish balls on the necks With two round gorged springs to drain the floods, Explode! And it rains incessantly.. It rains and rains into the web of drains They call it tears, the salty waters devoid of sugar For the sadists relish inebriating drinks Drawn from the blood of innocent clouds, Fools! And it rains incessantly.. It rains and rains and pains the heart Beating it hard and churning to froth The emotions, the feelings, laughs and sighs Driving the rains to flow into gutters, Desecrated! And it rains incessantly..

FROM CHILDHOOD HOUR

                 DANISH BHAT From childhood's hour I have not been  As others were; I have not seen  As others saw; I could not bring  My passions from a common spring.  From the same source I have not taken  My sorrow; I could not awaken  My heart to joy at the same tone;  And all I loved, I loved alone.  Then- in my childhood, in the dawn  Of a most stormy life- was drawn  From every depth of good and ill  The mystery which binds me still:  From the torrent, or the fountain,  From the red cliff of the mountain,  From the sun that round me rolled  In its autumn tint of gold,  From the lightning in the sky  As it passed me flying by,  From the thunder and the storm,  And the cloud that took the form  (When the rest of Heaven was blue)  Of a demon in my view.

TEMPTATIOUS SHADES

Temptations of my soul are soulful Though, I defy the youthful demons, Searching my beacons in muddy dark caves I Struggle off the reigns and chains Of alluring soulful temptations I fall again into the insane world Bedecked with bright and shady colours Within my moonlit cast shadows Dragging me back to the endless darkness Deep into the muddy dark caves Where my nursed snakes wish me luck With there venomous forked tongues To snatch even the last puff left of me And I sit silently searching for myself Lost in the temptations of my soulful soul...

LIFE MOVES TILL IT FALLS

Danish Bhat Life moves and moves till it falls  Falls with the fall  And the winter calls With the flip of pages, the years go  The years go with the flow Like the sip and spill of coffee, And the pages colour brown and crisp The pages flip and the ears curl Like swirled birch leaves,  Golden and fragile And the agile readers come and go, They judge, they throw and sow  The seeds of their twisted opinions  And mark the pages blue and black With the new dawn, a new page,  The new dreams set in Winters go and springs begin  Brings the foliage and flowers, The sunshine and showers Till the new page turns and fall befalls  And life moves and moves till it falls
