Unending Union

Rose buds drenched in rain

Bow to the gentle breeze passing

Chirping birds fighting for their glimpse

On the wild flowing clear stream

*

My mind fused with nature

Almost in a dreamland

My body forgot its presence

A  sudden splash opened my eyes

*

A couple on the other side

Sitting beside each other

Sad and worried faces

Still holding their hands

*

The handsome boy said her

Break over is over, darling

Why are you still mad?

Turned her face towards him

*

She pinched his pink nose

Lovingly I hate you, my beloved

A rose petal flew across

I too ended up my snooze

Will dreams come true

Dreary eyes, dry smile

Practical exam tomorrow

Tensed was my mind

Nearly turned up all books

And tried reading more

Wondered what new question

I need to face, tomorrow

Tomorrow seemed to be hell

I prayed, more than usual

Sleep seemed so far

*

Somehow I slept unknowingly

In my deep sleep

An unknown voice

Gave me a new question

As well as an answer

Probably a dream

I felt relaxed

*

Morning I woke up fresh

Was it a dream? Wondered

To my utmost shock

In my examination

I faced the same question

Answered the same

Will dreams come true?

Note: A true incident of my life... Still havent got the answer how it happened... till i get an answer it will be a miracle...

Stringent Prayer

Mother,
Drenched in your motherly care
Grateful to your kindness
I rejoice you every day
Every second of my life is yours
Let you be my speech, action and life.
Mother I know you will never hurt me
I am suffering, I can’t bear the pain
Did I commit any blunder ma
Say me what should I do now
I need your love and care.
I have to pass this test of my life
Guide me the way out of this test
Make me sinless, clean my heart
Remove the darkness showing the truth
Don’t put my name in foul mouths
I have been a symbol of burden
I am the reason for others worries
Ma, bless my dawn
I should wake up happy
Or I shouldn’t wake up forever
Take me with you
For am a burden to earth
-----Shalini Samuel

Rock Heart

Oh Rock,



Do you feel the pain,



when you are chiselled?



Did you become speechless,



Bearing the burdens men gave?



Dear open up your heart



Where you happy,



When I admired you as a statue?



Or you love to stand as a wall



Or sit leisurely as a floor



Dear do you want to be yourself?



A green clad monstrous mountain



Speak now, for your time is less



You are being shattered to pieces



Divide and rule is our mantra



We break you into stones



So that you may stand helpless



Wow I admire your courage



Even then you pierce mans legs



Oh dear you are so generous



Still you fill holes in buildings



With Rock heart, am calling you Rock

Gossip

Crossed an anthill

Overheard accidentally

Ants talking about me!

Sharpened my ears,

Shalini is selfish;

She killed our siblings.

Can’t argue back,

They ate my sweet;

They bit my skin.

Family feud started.

Next time I saw ants,

Forgot my insecticide

instead shifted  place.
