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

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.

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..
