Just a Hiccup

One stumble,

Big fall!

Tears galore,

A broken heart.

Darkness around,

Path misaligned;

Depression rules,

Doubts chime.

Then a light throbs,

Glows and grows.

Reminding me

To go with the flow.

The past has passed,

What the wise ones say;

Just a little hiccup,

That’s called ‘yesterday’

[kleio-b]

Blatant

You came uninvited.

You misbehaved.

Killed without provocation.

Then you gloated.

Said, “We did it right.

You deserved it.

Yes, you!

Blatant you!”

Blatant us didn’t recoil.

Neither did we succumb.

We planned. We executed.

Not blatantly, but responsibily.

Our goodness is no more our weakness.

That’s why you are shattered and strewn.

Broken and deservedly so.

We brought justice.

We, the blatant ones!

Just Leave It

When your environment

Reeks of toxicity,

And you feel life

Is headed to a dear-end;

Retrace your steps,

Change directions;

The detour might be painful,

But it will be worth the try.

Negativity barrens,

Even the smartest minds;

So

Push away what pulls you down,

Unhear the defeating sounds;

Move on when you don’t belong.

Leave those low-lying opportunities.

Just leave it.

NO

A river flows

Of innocent’s blood

Salty from tears

Memories of the loved

Hearts broken

Firm strong

To find the shore

Of sunshine at dawn

It all seems a dream

As morales shatter

Is breathing

The only thing that matters?

NO one hears

The victims of violence

When false narratives

Brings societal abeyance

NO one musters courage

To walk with what’s right

After all fitting in

Is considered wise

When will we say NO

To the rise of the devil?

When will we act a NO

To the crimes by the evil?

Misread Sign

They said he wears a halo

And treated him as divine

Unknowingly sowing evil

Of entitlement in his mind

Violent as a child

Manipulative as a teen

Debauche as a young adult

Lots of washed dreams

They blame the boy

Some blame patenting

The fault lies in biases

Misinterpreting danger

A misread halo

Ceated in the human mind.

Those Days

Gone are the days,

Of carefree glee;

Of running barefoot,

Scraping the knee.

Gone are the days,

Of hushed whispers;

Of daydreaming,

And sibling scuffles.

Gone are the days,

When the mirror sighed;

When tears flowed,

Abashedly from the eyes.

Will the gone days return?

Well, they never do.

But new memories are made;

Promise are renewed.

My love for the swing

Knew no bounds

And I flew up and about

Finding music in the gush

The wind swooshing around

My love for the swing

Knew no bounds

Through the school bell

The shouting schoolmates

My heart heard no sound

The worried teachers searched

Where the new girl was lost

My best friend to be in tears

Feeling guilty

For I could not be found

My parents were called

The principal frowned

When she saw me through her window

Smiling and swinging to oblivion

How my love for freedom knew no bounds

It's my 11 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

The Marigold

Delicate

Devine

Blooming sunshine

No fragrance to attract

No show to distract

Healer of now and afterlife

A key to the past

God’s own glow

The marigold

[kleio-b]

You can’t justify a broken heart

A relationship gone wrong

Or a third wheel processing

A love unfulfilled

Or a companionship unmatched

Debauchary is debauchary

Reneging a vow to the sacred fire

Cheating is a crime

That you don’t get arrested for

Yet it is the biggest crime of alll

[kleio-b]

Intent

Middle of the night

Shuffled silent feet

No friend nearby

No fond memories

Moving through shadows

Peeking in the dark

His eyes glowed

Warm sapphires

Passing the alleys

His search bore fruit

Spilled milk

Fish scraps

The lone cat mewed

‘T’ Theory

Take troubles

That truncate talent,

Toys thinking;

Thralls todays,

Tarnishes tomorrows;

To thought’s trash trove.

Take steps

To transform.

Tee-off to

A fresh start!

[kleio-b]

Honey

Smooth gold

Oozy

Sticky

Slipping through the fingers

A delicious mess

Fragrant

Slimy

Sliding

Dripping oodles

Of finger-licking respite!

Oh vegan

Oh naturopaths

Oh children

Grown-ups or lads

The humble & the rich

Loved by all

Stored airtight

A gift of hard-work

Drops of summer sun

It’s honey

Every bee’s pride

[kleio-b]

Anywhere

Somewhere far,

Or farther off.

All alone,

Or in a milieu.

Wherever.

Everywhere.

You hold me

In a warm embrace.

When I stumble;

And refuse to get up,

You find a reason;

To pick my spirits up.

You are the meaning.

You bring me joy.

You are Omnipresent.

I can’t ever

Lose You anywhere.

Green

I took a brush

Tabbed some paint

And coloured it green

Dissatisfied

I took some chrome

Still confused, a dark hue.

Then some smoke

A trace of glitter

But the grass I painted

Remained paler

In my landscape

A search for perfection

A green imagination

Yet the truth remains

No matter the layers

No matter the modifications

Truth Vs Desire

In parallel universe

Where the grass

Is always greener

on the other side

[kleio-b]

Joy!

That chuckle reverberates

Tremors of delight tickles

An inane giggle

Growing

In tandem

Gushing a cool wind

Of carefree bliss!

The innocent music

Of a baby’s laugh!

An absolute joy 🤩
