Thoughts That Sway


I walked through the meadows
With thoughts wavering,
Like the swinging grass
Touched by the breeze.
I'm amazed how conveniently
His thoughts fill me up,
From how much he
Lauds my presence in his life,
To how ingenuine, at times,
Those words
Of praise feel.
I abandon his world
For a breath of fresh air.
The water droplets on
The tree leaves,
Appear like pearls
In hues of green.
I wish I could
Trade those old memories
For some new ones.
It doesn't die out,
The affection, the adoration.
But, it sure makes me question,
Wasn't holding back
The plan?
First showers of the season,
Touch the ground
Passing through
My transparent soul.
I stand still,
Let it soak me
With positivity,
Charging me up
For a new reason.
Suddenly, I'm new.
I can't stop loving,
No, I won't
'Cause that is all
My heart beholds.

Kite


Many a business
they know, but
this, no lazy hand's
clumsy job.
Agreed, my existence is
a creative man's
exuberant idea.
He glues me
in shades of his delight.
He ties me down
to control my flight.
I befriend the wind,
it knows the secrets
I hide in my heart.
The sun gawks at my
strength, my agility.
I look in its eyes
and display
a harmless demeanour.
On the flip side,
snap and I'm on my own.
Sure, it hurts.
Isn't it the same
with you, human beings?
You learn your potential
after a snap.
For that one time,
I landed in the hands of
the most positive man alive.
He rose me to heights,
I had not known afore.
Those careful gentle releases
he gave,
the beam on his face, and
the glint in his eyes
told me he felt
he was flying with me
in the sky.
I flew free,
I breathed free
I decided it's my forte
I want to fly,
for it gives a perspective
like no other.
