MOMENT

 MOMENT


A walk had just ended,

It seemed like it took just a second to complete,

this tedious, hard working walk.


A day had just got over,

full of hard work and labor,

but it felt like only a minute had passed in the life's pathway.


The holiday season just got over and the new year just began,

but it felt like this long year and all it's ups and downs,

were just an hour's talk.


Here I am now waiting to face the inevitable death,

the conclusion of my long life.

It feels like this is the final note of my song which began almost a century ago,

but it seems like my whole life was just a single day's affair.

OMNIPOTENS Part-1

OMNIPOTENS Part-1  The night sky is just clean at the moment. No stars are seen, nothing, just a pitch black sky. Looking a bit down, there are glittering, sparkling stars that are nothing but the bright lights of the city lamps. With a sigh on his face and the wind playing with his hair, Atlas Richardson stood on the balcony carrying a face that had no expression. Son of an ambitious lord who had set his sights on establishing himself and his family at the very center of the power that vested in the region. Atlas's father, Ronald Richardson, was the pioneer of the foundation on which his empire was built. Atlas had not forgotten his father's contribution, but he had also not acknowledged it to the greatest of places. Atlas believed that his father had given up his human sanity and sacrificed his humanity to just sit on a metal chair that had gold and diamonds in it.  Atlas was now the emperor whose reign reached from the corners where the Scandinavian cold winds would bring t...

AFTER EVERYTHING

      AFTER EVERYTHING  That random noise is still heard by my ears That dark sky with no shining star is what my eyes wish to see every night.  The peace around me craves that conflict on which humanity resided.  The bogus run for money is what now my legs want to run. This abundance of food only reminds me of the scarcity which prevailed. This freedom around me is more like a bondage to the past.  These days of community are the embodiment of the eras of conflict.  These people around me, reduced considerably are the truth behind the previous hoards of billions.  There lies the open sky which had a breath of fire some years ago. There lies the cleanest stream ever formed in a gazillion years, the baby of the chemicals thrown into the water.  Those who have survived the battle for satisfaction of human greed, now seem to me as weaklings.  These days of peace are the ongoing reminders of the glories of conquest.  Just some smil...

Colors

Colors Eyes are staring at that empty canvas right now Imaginations are running wild  Some are telling me to draw Others are telling me to just dip it in paint Different colors spread across me  A stroke of red reminds me of the desires that reside inside me.  Those unfulfilled promises still shine as bright as red.  Applying blue sky on the canvas reflects calmness that carries me the serenity that keeps me alive from all the noise and sadness that surrounds me. With a stroke of yellow, my eyes, like a movie projection, bring out the rhythm that I have been searching for. My feet start to tap up and down with a drop of yellow on my cheek, a tune captivates my body, thinking of the prospects that tomorrow brings.  Small details of green keep me growing. In some instances, where I grow, I smile  Those are the moments through which my life is defined.  Finishing with the strokes of orange, it seems my mind is running faster than a cheetah and higher than...
